Release notes for the gEDA/gaf 20060824 snapshot

   Changes
     _________________________________________________________________

   libgeda/gschem

     * Updated libgeda's so version to 26:0:0.
     * Fixed  the  infamous  "slice"  memory  problem  that  was plaguing
       gEDA/gaf  for a while. Mixing malloc/free and g_malloc/g_free is a
       bad  idea  and also setting a field in deallocated memory tends to
       upset glib's memory management.
     * Added  a  new  rc variable called "always-promote-attributes" that
       takes  a string of attribute names that are automatically prompted
       when  a  component  is placed on a schematic. The default list is:
       "footprint device value model-name".
     * Newly  rewritten  postscript output to be much more compact, sane.
       and support unicode (Mike Jarabek).
     * gschem  now  uses  stock  gtk+  icons if they are available (Tomaz
       Solc).
     * Improved  the  robustness  of  the  loading  of symbols/schmeatics
       (Tomaz Solc).
     * Added  support  for  panning  using  the  middle  mouse button and
       controlling the amount of pan (Peter Clifton).
     * Changed the default behavior of the middle button (now mouse pan).
     * Added  cursor key panning in gschem and rc keywords for controling
       the amount of pan (Tomaz Solc).
     * Added  the  ability  to zoom in and zoom out using the mouse wheel
       (Peter Clifton).
     * Added  a  bunch  of new hooks to gschem and libgeda. This supports
       various  new  features such as auto pin attributes, auto attribute
       placing    (currently   commented   out),   select_component_hook,
       select_net_hook,    deselect_component_hook,    deselect_net_hook,
       deselect_all (Carlos Nieves Onega and Dan McMahill).
     * Added  support for dragging an object using the first mouse button
       in gschem (Carlos Nieves Onega).
     * Added the beginnings of pcb mode to gschem (Dan McMahill).
     * Improvements  to  the autosave and backup mechanism (Carlos Nieves
       Onega).
     * Added support for text overbars. The delimiter character is \_ (it
       should  be  at  the  beginning  and  end of the where you want the
       overbar to be (Carlos Nieves Onega). Postscript output support for
       overbars (Mike Jarabek).
     * Bug fixes to the auto save mechanism (Carlos Nieves Onega). Please
       report any more crashes.
     * Fixed  component update to work correctly since it was looking for
       existing attributes in the wrong places.
     * Converted all the noweb code to just plain C (making sure that all
       the   really   nice  documentation  that  Patrick  and  others  is
       perserved).  gEDA/gaf  no  longer  requires  noweb to build (Jason
       Childs).
     * Removed all pre-GTK 2.x code from gEDA/gaf (Peter Brett).
     * Translation updates from various people.

   gnetlist
     * DRC2 backend bug fixes and improvements (Carlos Nieves Onega).
     * Various bug fixes (Werner Hoch and others).

   gattrib
     * Fixed  annoying  bug  in  which gattrib soaked up 70% of processor
       time (Stuart Brorson).
     * Implemented  ability to export CSV file of component sheet (Stuart
       Brorson).
     * Made   cell   text   different  colors  depending  upon  attribute
       visibility (Stuart Brorson).
     * Applied  patch  to  handle  attrib  strings  with multiple = signs
       (Stuart Brorson and Jeff Mallatt).
     * Misc bug fixes (Stuart Brorson).

   symbols
     * Many symbol bug fixes and improvements (Werner Hoch and others).
     * Improved  the  NC  symbols  so  that  the  drc2 backend handles no
       connect situarions better (Carlos Nieves Onega).

   gsymcheck
     * Various  bug  fixes  and  improvements  (Carlos  Nieves  Onega and
       others).

   utils
     * gsch2pcb   improvements   dealing   with   how  to  find  gnetlist
       executable.
     * Updated to the latest version of grenum (Levente Kovacs).
     * Applied power pin handling patch (Patrick Doyle).

   docs
     * Obsoleted  all  latex documentation and replaced it with a snaphot
       of the gEDA wiki. Many thanks to David Hart for the conversion and
       necessary support to make this conversion possible.

   examples
     * No significant changes.

   misc
     * The   geda   (gManager)   source   tarball  is  not  longer  being
       distributed.  All the code is still in the CVS repository, but due
       to  lack  of  maintanance,  it  has been pulled for these snapshot
       releases.
     * Fixed various Makefiles to support make distcheck again.
     * Lots  of  bug fixes by (Werner Hoch, Carlos Nieves Onega, and many
       others).
