	Release notes for the gEDA/gaf 20070526 snapshot Changes _________________________________________________________________ libgeda/gschem * libgeda's shared library version is now 29:0:0. * Added "recently used files" File menu option. Now you can open up files you used recently (and if you have a gafrc your components should be found too) and open those files up in a new gschem window. (Ivan Stankovic) * Merge of the noscreen branch (many changes). This branch removed all cached screen coordinates. Now all calculations are done in world coordinates and should yield some drawing improvements. End users should not notice any difference (other than the slight speed up). (Peter Clifton) * Many improvements to the "Write image..." dialog box in gschem. gschem can now export any image that gtk+ (gdk-pixbuf specifically) can write (png, jpg, ico, bmp, etc...). Libgd is no longer an optional dependency and cannot be used with libgeda/gschem. (Carlos Nieves Onega) * Improved the auto placing mechanism. One improvement (amongst others) is in the cases of: if the attribute overlap with pins (including pinnumbers), or the pin connection direction where a net is supposed to be drawn, then the attributes are moved automatically. (Carlos Nieves Onega) * A few improvements to the component place selector including adding ok button to hide the component insert dialog box). (Various) * Added items (links to the wiki and FAQ) to the gschem help menu. (Peter Brett) * Fixed a nasty bug that was causing random crashes with keymaps that did not have a valid keyval/keysym. (Peter Clifton) * Fixed the drawing of dotted arcs/circles when the dot spacing is too small to render. (Peter Clifton) * Fixed component selector filter to be case insensitive. (Carlos Nieves Onega) * Added PageUp and PageDown hotkeys to change pages in gschem. (Peter Brett) * Fixed the ordering of buttons in all gtk dialog boxes to be correct (based on what gtk+/gnome/desktop conventions). (Carlos Nieves Onega) * Added %%Orientation to DSC block in postscript output. (Mike Jarabek) * Fixed color printing of select objects (should not output the selected color). (Peter Clifton) * Added hotkeys to decrease and increase the snap grid spacing. (Carlos Nieves Onega and Peter Brett) * Improved keymap filling routines (Werner Hoch and Patrick Bernaud) * Fixed a couple of small memory leaks. (Ales Hvezda) * The usual slew of bug fixes by many individuals. * A bunch of code cleanup/fixes by various individuals. * Various language translations updated by various individuals. gnetlist * New gnetlist backends written: Calay and Osmond. (John Doty) * Moved the loading of scheme files using the "-l" command line before the schematics are loaded (this allows the scheme code to modify the various search paths). * Various improvements to the spice-sdb backend including the treatment of slotted parts (so that pins are emitted in pinseq order). (Stuart Brorson) * Added and improved a bunch of regression tests. The vast majority of these tests are now run during make distcheck. (Stuart Brorson and Ales Hvezda) * A few bugs fixed. (Various) gattrib * Added doxygen generated docs. (Stuart Brorson) * A bunch of bugs fixed. (Stuart Brorson and Peter Clifton) docs * Removed the html version of the gsch2pcb tutorial. Instead, the gsch2pcb tutorial is now part of the wiki thanks to several individuals (Patrick Doyle and Bogdan Petrisor). * Updated the wiki snapshot to the latest web wiki version. (Ales Hvezda) * Misc improvements to various wiki scripts. (Ales Hvezda) symbols * Added greek mu character. (Carlos Nieves Onega) * Added upper case greek omega character. (Jens Persson) gsymcheck * No significant changes. utils * Added refdes_renum test suite. (Dan McMahill and Stuart Brorson) * Incorporated --gentle into refdes_renum which doesn't overwrite refdes'es already numbered. (Stuart Brorson) * Moved gschemdoc to the gschem package. Bunch of improvements to the gschemdoc script related to finding local/remote documentation. (Carlos Nieves Onega) examples * Fixed automake infrastructure to install 2N3904 model for the TwoStageAmp example. (Stuart Brorson) For more a detailed changes, please look in the appropriate ChangeLogs in the source tarballs.

2006-09-01	Update to 20060824	dmcmahill	1	-4/+3
	------------------------ 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). For more a detailed changes, please look in the appropriate ChangeLogs in the source tarballs.
2006-02-05	Recursive revision bump / recommended bump for gettext ABI change.	joerg	1	-2/+3

2005-01-11	update to 20041228.	dmcmahill	1	-5/+1
	Release notes for the gEDA/gaf 20041228 snapshot Changes _________________________________________________________________ libgeda * Shared library version number now at 22. * Added a new attribute: symversion= and associated mechanism to libgeda. + The symversion= mechanism allows symbols to be versioned with a major and minor number. An example of this attribute is symversion=1.0 + This symversion= attribute is typically found in symbol files at first, but it will be promoted if it is found when the symbol is read in from disk. + The symversion= attribute is an auto-prompted attribute, which if present in a symbol will always be promoted to the schematic. + If the major number of the symversion= attributes (the one in the symbol and the one in the schematic) does not match, then a serious warning message is issued. + When a user changes a symbol file in a major or incompatible way (translation, addition/removal of pins/attributes etc...), the major number of the symversion= attribute value should be incremented by one. + For minor changes, primarily cosmetic changes, only the minor number of the symversion= attribute value should incremented by one. + If the minor number of the symversision= attributes (the one in the symbol and the one in the schematic) does not match, then a minor warning message is issued. + The default value is 0.0 even if no symversion= attribute is present. * Fixed the randomly colored midpoint postscript bug reported by Gabriel Paubert. Also removed some redundant code related to postscript printing. * Moved a whole bunch of rc routines from gschem/gnetlist/gsymcheck into libgeda. This makes using the common rc code much easier. * Added the --with-rcdir ./configure flag to libgeda. This was required because of the above rc code refactor. You must ./configure libgeda with this flag if you intend to move the rc files to a different directory. Be sure to put this flag on all programs (gschem/gnetlist/gsymcheck/gattrib etc...) if you want to move the rc files. * Part of the above rc code refactor was to add an additional rc file: gafrc. The gafrc file is read in last after all other rc files are read in. Only common rc keywords can be put inside the gafrc file, including: + component-library + component-library-search + source-library + source-library-search + world-size + reset-component-library + reset-source-library + default-series-name + untitled-name + scheme-directory + bitmap-directory + font-directory + bus-ripper-symname Now you do not have to create a gschemrc, gnetlistrc, gattribrc, gschlasrc etc... if you are just adding custom component libraries. Just create a gafrc file and put the library lines in there. * Added a bunch of init function to libgeda_init() to make using libgeda a little easier. gschem * Added a dialog box which pops up when a schematic is loaded up which has components which have changed in a major or minor way (based on the new symversion= attribute). See above the libgeda section for a description of the new symversion= attribute and its usage. * Hopefully finally fixed the broken postscript problem when the locale uses commas instead of periods. Original fix by Bill Wilson and patch by Andreas Fester. * Fixed a gschem crash when certain components (depending on what was connected to them) were being updated. I have also started working on fixing Edit/Component Update... to be more sane (and not cause duplicated attached attributes). This work is not complete, and for now, Edit/Component/Update... will still cause duplicate attributes. * Fixed some visual garbage/corruption in the preview window in the file selection and component place dialog boxes. * Added a new rc keyword "grid-dot-size" which lets you control the size of the grid dots. Handy if the dots are too small to see. * Applied the scroll wheel pan patch by Sascha Silbe. The scroll wheel pans the display vertically and holding down the control key and moving the wheel the will scroll the display horizontally. * Added a modal "Are you sure?" dialog box to page revert. This should prevent accidental page reverts (cause work losses). This dialog box is only implemented for gtk+ 2.x * Added an Italian translation by Petrecca Michele. * Added the comment and symversion attribute to the attribute pulldown list in the Add/Attribute dialog box. * Updated gschem with the newly refactored rc code. gnetlist * Stuart implemented a whole slew of improvements to the spice-sdb backend. * Stuart added several functions to passing the command line to scheme backends. * Removed gschem2pcb as an installed program. gsch2pcb is the preferred tool for going from schematic to PCB. * Applied a bugfix patch to the cascade backend by Dan McMahill. * Integrated the initial version of a SystemC backend by Jaume Masip. * Integrated a new scheme backend for Eagle PCB. The backend was written by Braddock Gaskill. * Updated gnetlist with the newly refactored rc code. gattrib * Integrated Stuart Brorson's attribute editor: gattrib into gEDA/gaf. This is the first gEDA/gaf release that includes gattrib. * Here's a description of gattrib: Gattrib is gEDA's attribute editor. It reads a set of gschem .sch files (schematic files), and creates a spreadsheet showing all components in rows, with the associated component attributes listed in the columns. It allows the user to add, modify, or delete component attributes outside of gschem, and then save the .sch files back out. When it is completed, it will allow the user to edit attributes attached to components, nets, and pins. (Currently, only component attribute editing is implemented; pin attributes are displayed only, and net attributes are TBD.) gsymcheck * Integrated a patch by Jim Duchek which adds several more useful tests to gsymcheck. * Updated gsymcheck with the newly refactored rc code. symbols * Redrew the following symbols and set the symversion= attribute to 1.0: 4000/4002-1.sym 4000/40107-1.sym 4000/4011-1.sym 4000/4012-1.sym 4000/4023-1.sym 4000/4025-1.sym 4000/4030-1.sym 4000/4068-1.sym 4000/4070-1.sym 4000/4072-1.sym 4000/4073-1.sym 4000/4075-1.sym 4000/4078-1.sym 4000/4081-1.sym 4000/4082-1.sym 4000/4085-1.sym: If you have any of these symbols in any existing schematics, you should get a warning that major changes have occurred when you run gschem or gnetlist. * Added over ~100 user contributed symbols to the various component libraries. Created 5 new component libraries: minicircuits st apex allegro irf * Moved the local component library to the beginning of the search order. * Updated Peter Kaiser's asic library with the latest set of symbol. Added Peter's asic pad symbols into the new asicpads library. Commented in the asic library now that the symbol names are unique. * Werner Hoch has fixed a whole slew of symbols in various component libraries (74, 4000, and memory). Thanks Werner! geda (gManager) * Piotr Miarecki added graphman, a new tool for managing graphs. * Piotr update gManager to build with gtk+ 2.2.x * Integrated a French and Italian translation. Not sure if the translations are work yet. utils * Added symbol cleanup (gsymfix.pl) script by Mike Skerritt. * Updated gschlas with the newly refactored rc code. docs * attributes and symbols documents: Added information and details on the symversion= attribute * toplevel doc page: Added links to SystemC and Eagle backend READMEs.
2004-02-23	use the geda/Makefile.common for some common variables	dmcmahill	1	-3/+2

2003-09-10	Update to the gEDA/gaf 20030901 development snapshot	dmcmahill	1	-5/+3
	Release notes for the gEDA/gaf 20030901 development snapshot ------------------------------------------------------------ CHANGES: General / Summary * The biggest change in this release is the addition of gtk+ 2.2.x support. Now you can build gEDA/gaf with either gtk+ 1.2.x or gtk+ 2.2.x. Some programs like setup and geda still require gtk+ 1.2.x, but that will be fixed in a future release. The original gtk+ 2.2.x patch was by Ye Ma (Thanks!). * Added --with-gtk12 commandline flag to all ./configure scripts to force the use of gtk+ 1.2.x. Just add this to the opt= variable in the toplevel Makefile to force all of gEDA/gaf to use gtk+ 1.2.x instead of gtk+ 2.2.x. The default used gtk+ library if both 1.2.x and 2.2.x are installed is gtk+ 2.2.x. * In order support above, pkg-config is now REQUIRED to successfully ./configure the packages. pkg-config is also required if you are building/linking against gtk+ 1.2.x. You can get pkg-config from either: [1]http://www.geda.seul.org/dist or [2]http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/ * If you do not keep all of your packages installed in one place or if it is not in a standard location (like /usr/lib/pkgconfig), then you must tell pkg-config where to look by using the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable. I keep all of my .pc files in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, so my PKG_CONFIG_PATH is set like this: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig Rewrote and simplified all the ./configure.ac files. Here are the versions of the auto* tools I use: autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.54 automake (GNU automake) 1.7.1 ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.4.2 aclocal (GNU automake) 1.7.1 gettext (GNU gettext) 0.11.5 If you use any other versions, good luck. :-) libgeda * Shared library version number now at 19. * Removed libgeda-config, replaced with libgeda.pc (pkg-config file). In order for gschem and the other libgeda programs to find this file during the ./configure stage, you must set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to something like this: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/geda/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH The settings for this variable is printed when you type 'make' in the upper most directory (toplevel) where you untarred all the source tarballs. * libgdgeda 2.0.15 is now required to build libgeda. * No significant code changes. gschem * Applied Carlos Nieves Onega's multi attribute patch. With this patch, the multi attribute add/edit dialog box behaves a lot more intelligently when adding or changing attributes. * Bunch of work to support both gtk+ 1.2.x and 2.2.x. * Rewrote the exit dialog box to look better under both 1.2.x and 2.2.x. Quite a few of the dialog box look bad under 1.2.x, but look absolutely dreadful under 2.2.x, so they will be recreated (and hopefully improved in the process) in future releases. gnetlist * Applied Carlos Nieves Onega's commandline (-l filename) load scheme patch. The scheme code is loaded and executed from the specified file before the backend is loaded. * Added the -m commandline flag which allows scheme code to be loaded from a file after the backend is loaded but before it is executed. * Integrated Carlos Nieves Onega's DRC2 backend. * Applied Carlos Nieves Onega's warning cleanup patch. * The required work to get gnetlist to work with both gtk+ 1.2.x and 2.2.x. * Added Bill Wilson's gnet-gsch2pcb backend. * Applied Stuart Brorson's latest changes to the spice-sdb netlister. His changes included the -s command line flag (sort output netlist) and the gnetlist:get-calling-flags as well as improvements to the spice-sdb backend itself. gsymcheck * No significant changes other than the gtk+ 2.2.x support changes. symbols * Werner Hoch updated a bunch of symbols in various directories including memory and 74. * Removed gesym-config. The new ./configure.ac files do not use this file anymore. * Added a bunch of contributed symbols (not all though, some are still pending for various reasons). * The author= and email= attribute on five symbols have been merged into one (author=). geda (gManager) * No changes setup * No changes utils * Finally integrated Werner Hoch's tragesym 0.0.5 into the utils package. tragesym is a symbol creator for gEDA/gaf written in python. * Applied patch by Holger Dietze to update gmk_sym to be current. * Integrated Bill Wilson's gsch2pcb package. gsch2pcb is conceptually based on the gschem2pcb shell script distributed with gnetlist, but additionally handles multiple schematics, handles element file footprints, and removes pc board elements corresponding to components deleted from the schematics. It also forward annotates component value changes * The necessary changes to support gtk+ 2.2.x. * Integrated pads backannotation script by Dan McMahill. A perl program which implements backannotation from Pads PowerPCB board layouts to gschem schematics. docs * Documented the merge of author= and email= (suggestion by Werner Hoch) * Updated spice-sdb document with a the latest version from Stuart Brorson. * Added Dan McMahill's documentation for the pads_backannotate script. examples * No changes. For more a detailed ChangeLog please look in the appropriate source directories.

2003-07-15	Update to the 20030525 development snapshot	dmcmahill	1	-2/+2
	Release notes for the gEDA/gaf 20030525 development snapshot ------------------------------------------------------------ CHANGES: General / Summary * This release is mainly a packaging release. Several contributed pieces were integrated into the gEDA/gaf release framework including: - Piotr Miarecki's geda (gManager) - Piotr's gEDA Suite setup. - geda-examples which is a tarball of various examples of gEDA/gaf in action. * Two new backends were also incorporated (switcap and spice-sdb) * Improved the toplevel Makefile a little bit. Now if you are building from a CVS checkout, you can: 1) set the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables (as usual) and 2) type: make install and the Makefile will take care of running auto* as required. libgeda * Shared library version number still at 18 (unchanged). * No changes for libgeda. gschem * Applied patch by Mario Klebsch for bug #43: "If gschemdoc is not install, gschem crashes". * Fixed a crash when you press the q key or any other "no-action" key. This was changed behavior when using guile 1.6.3. * Added "reset-component-library" and "reset-source-library" rc keywords. Now from either ~/.gEDA/gschemrc (or gnetlistrc) or a local gschemrc (or gnetlistrc) file, you can empty out all the default libraries and set your own. * Fixed the x_multimulti.nw build problem that some people ran into. * Updated the Brazilian translation (new file supplied by Antonio). gnetlist * Applied a patch by Dan McMahill to get the PCBboard backend working with guile 1.6.3 * Integrated Stuart Brorson's advanced spice backend (spice-sdb). Please see the howto in the docs directory (docs/spice-sdb/) for more info on this backend. The only changes I made to Stuart's original code was to lowercase the name of the backend (from spice-SDB to spice-sdb). Also check out his spice website at: [1]http. * Integrated Dan McMahill's switchcap backend. Please see the gnetlist/docs/README.switcap for more info. Also see the documentation in the docs package (docs/switcap) for even more info. * Applied a patch from Dan to the gnetlist.1 manpage. gsymcheck * No changes for gsymcheck. symbols * Werner Hoch updated a bunch of symbols in the max symbol library along with adding a few new symbols. Thanks! * Integrated a few new symbols for Stuart's spice backend. * Integrated a few new symbols for Dan's switcap backend. * Fixed 93Cx6-1.sym to include power information (patch by Holger Dietze). (Bug#65) * Applied Wojciech Kazubski's --with-docdir patch. Now you can specify where the documentation is installed using --with-docdir at the ./configure stage. * Fixed 74/7408-2.sym and 74/7409-2.sym, these symbols were swapped. Pointed out by Mario Klebsch. * Integrated a bunch of symbols from various people (thanks) who used the website upload mechanism. Btw, the website symbol upload is so much easier for me, so please continue using it. I think I have a few symbols I still need to finish integrating. geda (gManager) * From the README: "gEDA Suite Project Manager is a start point for everything what you may want to do. It is used to organize your files and easy running tools. It simplifies your job." Even though it is called gManager or Project Manager, the built executable is called "geda". Please play with it and let Piotr know of any suggestions or bugs. * This is the first release of this program inside the gEDA/gaf framework. * Integrated this program into the toplevel Makefile (so that it gets built when you type make install etc...) * If you build using the toplevel Makefile from now on, you must have geda in the current directory. setup * This is Piotr's gEDA Suite Setup program. * This is the first release of this program inside of the gEDA/gaf framework. Please send all bug reports to Piotr. * Here's how you use it: 1) Download all the gaf files and the required libraries and put them all into one directory. 2) Download guile-1.4.1.tar.gz and put it also into the above directory. 3) Type: make xinstall 4) Follow the GUI. Setup will build and install all of gEDA/gaf. Eventually this will be extended to build/install the rest of gEDA and gEDA related programs. Please let Piotr know of any suggestions or bugs. Make sure you have guile-1.4.1.tar.gz in the current directory along with all the gaf tarballs. * If you build using the toplevel Makefile from now on, you must have setup in the current directory. utils * Applied a patch by Charles Lepple to fix a build problem on OSX. * Applied Wojciech Kazubski's --with-docdir patch here as well. docs * Integrated documentation for Dan's and Stuart's new backends. * Applied Wojciech Kazubski's --with-docdir patch here as well. examples * This is the first release of the example package inside of the gEDA/gaf framework. * This package includes: - Stefan's gTAG : An example of hierarchical schematics using gaf. - Terry Porter's lightning_detector: An example of how to use gEDA/gaf with PCB. - Stuart Brorson's TwoStageAmp and RF_Amp : Examples of how to use spice-sdb for single page and hierarchical SPICE simulation using gEDA/gaf. If anybody else has some projects they would be willing to allow me to distribute, please let me know! I'm always looking for examples of gEDA/gaf in real use. * The examples are not installed, but the toplevel Makefile expects the tarball to be untarred in the current directory. For more a detailed ChangeLog please look in the appropriate source directories.

Release notes for the gEDA/gaf 20070526 snapshot Changes _________________________________________________________________ libgeda/gschem * libgeda's shared library version is now 29:0:0. * Added "recently used files" File menu option. Now you can open up files you used recently (and if you have a gafrc your components should be found too) and open those files up in a new gschem window. (Ivan Stankovic) * Merge of the noscreen branch (many changes). This branch removed all cached screen coordinates. Now all calculations are done in world coordinates and should yield some drawing improvements. End users should not notice any difference (other than the slight speed up). (Peter Clifton) * Many improvements to the "Write image..." dialog box in gschem. gschem can now export any image that gtk+ (gdk-pixbuf specifically) can write (png, jpg, ico, bmp, etc...). Libgd is no longer an optional dependency and cannot be used with libgeda/gschem. (Carlos Nieves Onega) * Improved the auto placing mechanism. One improvement (amongst others) is in the cases of: if the attribute overlap with pins (including pinnumbers), or the pin connection direction where a net is supposed to be drawn, then the attributes are moved automatically. (Carlos Nieves Onega) * A few improvements to the component place selector including adding ok button to hide the component insert dialog box). (Various) * Added items (links to the wiki and FAQ) to the gschem help menu. (Peter Brett) * Fixed a nasty bug that was causing random crashes with keymaps that did not have a valid keyval/keysym. (Peter Clifton) * Fixed the drawing of dotted arcs/circles when the dot spacing is too small to render. (Peter Clifton) * Fixed component selector filter to be case insensitive. (Carlos Nieves Onega) * Added PageUp and PageDown hotkeys to change pages in gschem. (Peter Brett) * Fixed the ordering of buttons in all gtk dialog boxes to be correct (based on what gtk+/gnome/desktop conventions). (Carlos Nieves Onega) * Added %%Orientation to DSC block in postscript output. (Mike Jarabek) * Fixed color printing of select objects (should not output the selected color). (Peter Clifton) * Added hotkeys to decrease and increase the snap grid spacing. (Carlos Nieves Onega and Peter Brett) * Improved keymap filling routines (Werner Hoch and Patrick Bernaud) * Fixed a couple of small memory leaks. (Ales Hvezda) * The usual slew of bug fixes by many individuals. * A bunch of code cleanup/fixes by various individuals. * Various language translations updated by various individuals. gnetlist * New gnetlist backends written: Calay and Osmond. (John Doty) * Moved the loading of scheme files using the "-l" command line before the schematics are loaded (this allows the scheme code to modify the various search paths). * Various improvements to the spice-sdb backend including the treatment of slotted parts (so that pins are emitted in pinseq order). (Stuart Brorson) * Added and improved a bunch of regression tests. The vast majority of these tests are now run during make distcheck. (Stuart Brorson and Ales Hvezda) * A few bugs fixed. (Various) gattrib * Added doxygen generated docs. (Stuart Brorson) * A bunch of bugs fixed. (Stuart Brorson and Peter Clifton) docs * Removed the html version of the gsch2pcb tutorial. Instead, the gsch2pcb tutorial is now part of the wiki thanks to several individuals (Patrick Doyle and Bogdan Petrisor). * Updated the wiki snapshot to the latest web wiki version. (Ales Hvezda) * Misc improvements to various wiki scripts. (Ales Hvezda) symbols * Added greek mu character. (Carlos Nieves Onega) * Added upper case greek omega character. (Jens Persson) gsymcheck * No significant changes. utils * Added refdes_renum test suite. (Dan McMahill and Stuart Brorson) * Incorporated --gentle into refdes_renum which doesn't overwrite refdes'es already numbered. (Stuart Brorson) * Moved gschemdoc to the gschem package. Bunch of improvements to the gschemdoc script related to finding local/remote documentation. (Carlos Nieves Onega) examples * Fixed automake infrastructure to install 2N3904 model for the TwoStageAmp example. (Stuart Brorson) For more a detailed changes, please look in the appropriate ChangeLogs in the source tarballs.

------------------------ 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). For more a detailed changes, please look in the appropriate ChangeLogs in the source tarballs.

Release notes for the gEDA/gaf 20041228 snapshot Changes _________________________________________________________________ libgeda * Shared library version number now at 22. * Added a new attribute: symversion= and associated mechanism to libgeda. + The symversion= mechanism allows symbols to be versioned with a major and minor number. An example of this attribute is symversion=1.0 + This symversion= attribute is typically found in symbol files at first, but it will be promoted if it is found when the symbol is read in from disk. + The symversion= attribute is an auto-prompted attribute, which if present in a symbol will always be promoted to the schematic. + If the major number of the symversion= attributes (the one in the symbol and the one in the schematic) does not match, then a serious warning message is issued. + When a user changes a symbol file in a major or incompatible way (translation, addition/removal of pins/attributes etc...), the major number of the symversion= attribute value should be incremented by one. + For minor changes, primarily cosmetic changes, only the minor number of the symversion= attribute value should incremented by one. + If the minor number of the symversision= attributes (the one in the symbol and the one in the schematic) does not match, then a minor warning message is issued. + The default value is 0.0 even if no symversion= attribute is present. * Fixed the randomly colored midpoint postscript bug reported by Gabriel Paubert. Also removed some redundant code related to postscript printing. * Moved a whole bunch of rc routines from gschem/gnetlist/gsymcheck into libgeda. This makes using the common rc code much easier. * Added the --with-rcdir ./configure flag to libgeda. This was required because of the above rc code refactor. You must ./configure libgeda with this flag if you intend to move the rc files to a different directory. Be sure to put this flag on all programs (gschem/gnetlist/gsymcheck/gattrib etc...) if you want to move the rc files. * Part of the above rc code refactor was to add an additional rc file: gafrc. The gafrc file is read in last after all other rc files are read in. Only common rc keywords can be put inside the gafrc file, including: + component-library + component-library-search + source-library + source-library-search + world-size + reset-component-library + reset-source-library + default-series-name + untitled-name + scheme-directory + bitmap-directory + font-directory + bus-ripper-symname Now you do not have to create a gschemrc, gnetlistrc, gattribrc, gschlasrc etc... if you are just adding custom component libraries. Just create a gafrc file and put the library lines in there. * Added a bunch of init function to libgeda_init() to make using libgeda a little easier. gschem * Added a dialog box which pops up when a schematic is loaded up which has components which have changed in a major or minor way (based on the new symversion= attribute). See above the libgeda section for a description of the new symversion= attribute and its usage. * Hopefully finally fixed the broken postscript problem when the locale uses commas instead of periods. Original fix by Bill Wilson and patch by Andreas Fester. * Fixed a gschem crash when certain components (depending on what was connected to them) were being updated. I have also started working on fixing Edit/Component Update... to be more sane (and not cause duplicated attached attributes). This work is not complete, and for now, Edit/Component/Update... will still cause duplicate attributes. * Fixed some visual garbage/corruption in the preview window in the file selection and component place dialog boxes. * Added a new rc keyword "grid-dot-size" which lets you control the size of the grid dots. Handy if the dots are too small to see. * Applied the scroll wheel pan patch by Sascha Silbe. The scroll wheel pans the display vertically and holding down the control key and moving the wheel the will scroll the display horizontally. * Added a modal "Are you sure?" dialog box to page revert. This should prevent accidental page reverts (cause work losses). This dialog box is only implemented for gtk+ 2.x * Added an Italian translation by Petrecca Michele. * Added the comment and symversion attribute to the attribute pulldown list in the Add/Attribute dialog box. * Updated gschem with the newly refactored rc code. gnetlist * Stuart implemented a whole slew of improvements to the spice-sdb backend. * Stuart added several functions to passing the command line to scheme backends. * Removed gschem2pcb as an installed program. gsch2pcb is the preferred tool for going from schematic to PCB. * Applied a bugfix patch to the cascade backend by Dan McMahill. * Integrated the initial version of a SystemC backend by Jaume Masip. * Integrated a new scheme backend for Eagle PCB. The backend was written by Braddock Gaskill. * Updated gnetlist with the newly refactored rc code. gattrib * Integrated Stuart Brorson's attribute editor: gattrib into gEDA/gaf. This is the first gEDA/gaf release that includes gattrib. * Here's a description of gattrib: Gattrib is gEDA's attribute editor. It reads a set of gschem .sch files (schematic files), and creates a spreadsheet showing all components in rows, with the associated component attributes listed in the columns. It allows the user to add, modify, or delete component attributes outside of gschem, and then save the .sch files back out. When it is completed, it will allow the user to edit attributes attached to components, nets, and pins. (Currently, only component attribute editing is implemented; pin attributes are displayed only, and net attributes are TBD.) gsymcheck * Integrated a patch by Jim Duchek which adds several more useful tests to gsymcheck. * Updated gsymcheck with the newly refactored rc code. symbols * Redrew the following symbols and set the symversion= attribute to 1.0: 4000/4002-1.sym 4000/40107-1.sym 4000/4011-1.sym 4000/4012-1.sym 4000/4023-1.sym 4000/4025-1.sym 4000/4030-1.sym 4000/4068-1.sym 4000/4070-1.sym 4000/4072-1.sym 4000/4073-1.sym 4000/4075-1.sym 4000/4078-1.sym 4000/4081-1.sym 4000/4082-1.sym 4000/4085-1.sym: If you have any of these symbols in any existing schematics, you should get a warning that major changes have occurred when you run gschem or gnetlist. * Added over ~100 user contributed symbols to the various component libraries. Created 5 new component libraries: minicircuits st apex allegro irf * Moved the local component library to the beginning of the search order. * Updated Peter Kaiser's asic library with the latest set of symbol. Added Peter's asic pad symbols into the new asicpads library. Commented in the asic library now that the symbol names are unique. * Werner Hoch has fixed a whole slew of symbols in various component libraries (74, 4000, and memory). Thanks Werner! geda (gManager) * Piotr Miarecki added graphman, a new tool for managing graphs. * Piotr update gManager to build with gtk+ 2.2.x * Integrated a French and Italian translation. Not sure if the translations are work yet. utils * Added symbol cleanup (gsymfix.pl) script by Mike Skerritt. * Updated gschlas with the newly refactored rc code. docs * attributes and symbols documents: Added information and details on the symversion= attribute * toplevel doc page: Added links to SystemC and Eagle backend READMEs.

Release notes for the gEDA/gaf 20030901 development snapshot ------------------------------------------------------------ CHANGES: General / Summary * The biggest change in this release is the addition of gtk+ 2.2.x support. Now you can build gEDA/gaf with either gtk+ 1.2.x or gtk+ 2.2.x. Some programs like setup and geda still require gtk+ 1.2.x, but that will be fixed in a future release. The original gtk+ 2.2.x patch was by Ye Ma (Thanks!). * Added --with-gtk12 commandline flag to all ./configure scripts to force the use of gtk+ 1.2.x. Just add this to the opt= variable in the toplevel Makefile to force all of gEDA/gaf to use gtk+ 1.2.x instead of gtk+ 2.2.x. The default used gtk+ library if both 1.2.x and 2.2.x are installed is gtk+ 2.2.x. * In order support above, pkg-config is now REQUIRED to successfully ./configure the packages. pkg-config is also required if you are building/linking against gtk+ 1.2.x. You can get pkg-config from either: [1]http://www.geda.seul.org/dist or [2]http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/ * If you do not keep all of your packages installed in one place or if it is not in a standard location (like /usr/lib/pkgconfig), then you must tell pkg-config where to look by using the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable. I keep all of my *.pc files in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, so my PKG_CONFIG_PATH is set like this: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig * Rewrote and simplified all the ./configure.ac files. Here are the versions of the auto* tools I use: autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.54 automake (GNU automake) 1.7.1 ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.4.2 aclocal (GNU automake) 1.7.1 gettext (GNU gettext) 0.11.5 If you use any other versions, good luck. :-) libgeda * Shared library version number now at 19. * Removed libgeda-config, replaced with libgeda.pc (pkg-config file). In order for gschem and the other libgeda programs to find this file during the ./configure stage, you must set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to something like this: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/geda/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH The settings for this variable is printed when you type 'make' in the upper most directory (toplevel) where you untarred all the source tarballs. * libgdgeda 2.0.15 is now required to build libgeda. * No significant code changes. gschem * Applied Carlos Nieves Onega's multi attribute patch. With this patch, the multi attribute add/edit dialog box behaves a lot more intelligently when adding or changing attributes. * Bunch of work to support both gtk+ 1.2.x and 2.2.x. * Rewrote the exit dialog box to look better under both 1.2.x and 2.2.x. Quite a few of the dialog box look bad under 1.2.x, but look absolutely dreadful under 2.2.x, so they will be recreated (and hopefully improved in the process) in future releases. gnetlist * Applied Carlos Nieves Onega's commandline (-l filename) load scheme patch. The scheme code is loaded and executed from the specified file before the backend is loaded. * Added the -m commandline flag which allows scheme code to be loaded from a file after the backend is loaded but before it is executed. * Integrated Carlos Nieves Onega's DRC2 backend. * Applied Carlos Nieves Onega's warning cleanup patch. * The required work to get gnetlist to work with both gtk+ 1.2.x and 2.2.x. * Added Bill Wilson's gnet-gsch2pcb backend. * Applied Stuart Brorson's latest changes to the spice-sdb netlister. His changes included the -s command line flag (sort output netlist) and the gnetlist:get-calling-flags as well as improvements to the spice-sdb backend itself. gsymcheck * No significant changes other than the gtk+ 2.2.x support changes. symbols * Werner Hoch updated a bunch of symbols in various directories including memory and 74. * Removed gesym-config. The new ./configure.ac files do not use this file anymore. * Added a bunch of contributed symbols (not all though, some are still pending for various reasons). * The author= and email= attribute on five symbols have been merged into one (author=). geda (gManager) * No changes setup * No changes utils * Finally integrated Werner Hoch's tragesym 0.0.5 into the utils package. tragesym is a symbol creator for gEDA/gaf written in python. * Applied patch by Holger Dietze to update gmk_sym to be current. * Integrated Bill Wilson's gsch2pcb package. gsch2pcb is conceptually based on the gschem2pcb shell script distributed with gnetlist, but additionally handles multiple schematics, handles element file footprints, and removes pc board elements corresponding to components deleted from the schematics. It also forward annotates component value changes * The necessary changes to support gtk+ 2.2.x. * Integrated pads backannotation script by Dan McMahill. A perl program which implements backannotation from Pads PowerPCB board layouts to gschem schematics. docs * Documented the merge of author= and email= (suggestion by Werner Hoch) * Updated spice-sdb document with a the latest version from Stuart Brorson. * Added Dan McMahill's documentation for the pads_backannotate script. examples * No changes. For more a detailed ChangeLog please look in the appropriate source directories.

Release notes for the gEDA/gaf 20030525 development snapshot ------------------------------------------------------------ CHANGES: General / Summary * This release is mainly a packaging release. Several contributed pieces were integrated into the gEDA/gaf release framework including: - Piotr Miarecki's geda (gManager) - Piotr's gEDA Suite setup. - geda-examples which is a tarball of various examples of gEDA/gaf in action. * Two new backends were also incorporated (switcap and spice-sdb) * Improved the toplevel Makefile a little bit. Now if you are building from a CVS checkout, you can: 1) set the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables (as usual) and 2) type: make install and the Makefile will take care of running auto* as required. libgeda * Shared library version number still at 18 (unchanged). * No changes for libgeda. gschem * Applied patch by Mario Klebsch for bug #43: "If gschemdoc is not install, gschem crashes". * Fixed a crash when you press the q key or any other "no-action" key. This was changed behavior when using guile 1.6.3. * Added "reset-component-library" and "reset-source-library" rc keywords. Now from either ~/.gEDA/gschemrc (or gnetlistrc) or a local gschemrc (or gnetlistrc) file, you can empty out all the default libraries and set your own. * Fixed the x_multimulti.nw build problem that some people ran into. * Updated the Brazilian translation (new file supplied by Antonio). gnetlist * Applied a patch by Dan McMahill to get the PCBboard backend working with guile 1.6.3 * Integrated Stuart Brorson's advanced spice backend (spice-sdb). Please see the howto in the docs directory (docs/spice-sdb/) for more info on this backend. The only changes I made to Stuart's original code was to lowercase the name of the backend (from spice-SDB to spice-sdb). Also check out his spice website at: [1]http. * Integrated Dan McMahill's switchcap backend. Please see the gnetlist/docs/README.switcap for more info. Also see the documentation in the docs package (docs/switcap) for even more info. * Applied a patch from Dan to the gnetlist.1 manpage. gsymcheck * No changes for gsymcheck. symbols * Werner Hoch updated a bunch of symbols in the max symbol library along with adding a few new symbols. Thanks! * Integrated a few new symbols for Stuart's spice backend. * Integrated a few new symbols for Dan's switcap backend. * Fixed 93Cx6-1.sym to include power information (patch by Holger Dietze). (Bug#65) * Applied Wojciech Kazubski's --with-docdir patch. Now you can specify where the documentation is installed using --with-docdir at the ./configure stage. * Fixed 74/7408-2.sym and 74/7409-2.sym, these symbols were swapped. Pointed out by Mario Klebsch. * Integrated a bunch of symbols from various people (thanks) who used the website upload mechanism. Btw, the website symbol upload is so much easier for me, so please continue using it. I think I have a few symbols I still need to finish integrating. geda (gManager) * From the README: "gEDA Suite Project Manager is a start point for everything what you may want to do. It is used to organize your files and easy running tools. It simplifies your job." Even though it is called gManager or Project Manager, the built executable is called "geda". Please play with it and let Piotr know of any suggestions or bugs. * This is the first release of this program inside the gEDA/gaf framework. * Integrated this program into the toplevel Makefile (so that it gets built when you type make install etc...) * If you build using the toplevel Makefile from now on, you must have geda in the current directory. setup * This is Piotr's gEDA Suite Setup program. * This is the first release of this program inside of the gEDA/gaf framework. Please send all bug reports to Piotr. * Here's how you use it: 1) Download all the gaf files and the required libraries and put them all into one directory. 2) Download guile-1.4.1.tar.gz and put it also into the above directory. 3) Type: make xinstall 4) Follow the GUI. Setup will build and install all of gEDA/gaf. Eventually this will be extended to build/install the rest of gEDA and gEDA related programs. Please let Piotr know of any suggestions or bugs. Make sure you have guile-1.4.1.tar.gz in the current directory along with all the gaf tarballs. * If you build using the toplevel Makefile from now on, you must have setup in the current directory. utils * Applied a patch by Charles Lepple to fix a build problem on OSX. * Applied Wojciech Kazubski's --with-docdir patch here as well. docs * Integrated documentation for Dan's and Stuart's new backends. * Applied Wojciech Kazubski's --with-docdir patch here as well. examples * This is the first release of the example package inside of the gEDA/gaf framework. * This package includes: - Stefan's gTAG : An example of hierarchical schematics using gaf. - Terry Porter's lightning_detector: An example of how to use gEDA/gaf with PCB. - Stuart Brorson's TwoStageAmp and RF_Amp : Examples of how to use spice-sdb for single page and hierarchical SPICE simulation using gEDA/gaf. If anybody else has some projects they would be willing to allow me to distribute, please let me know! I'm always looking for examples of gEDA/gaf in real use. * The examples are not installed, but the toplevel Makefile expects the tarball to be untarred in the current directory. For more a detailed ChangeLog please look in the appropriate source directories.

Quick summary of changes: - works with guile-1.6.3 now - Norwegian/Danish/German character fixes - PNG output now has some of the objects appearing to have the right thickness. - added Russian translation - bug fix in postscript output - non-applicable menu choices are now greyed out - fixed PADS netlist output bug - added several components to library - added multisheet refdes renumber utility - several other bug fixes.

Huberts latest bulk-build.

This represents many many improvements and bug fixes. A few items to note are that the attributes used by the symbol library have been greately cleaned up and unified. You may want to run gsymupdate and gschemupdate if migrating from older versions of the tools.

brings the documentation more in line with the programs.

Changes include: * New dialog boxes by Matt Ettus: - A much improved attribute edit dialog box - A multiple attribute edit dialog box * Improved Hierarchy Support: - Hierarchy/Down Schematic - Hierarchy/Down Symbol - Hierarchy/Up * Text alignment. * Attributes are now required to have no spaces besides the equals sign on each side. This shouldn't cause any problems for anybody. * Bunch of updates to the various gnetlist backends (basically all submitted changes have been integrated). Integration of JM Routoure's PCB backend work (Thanks!). Bug fixes and improvements by Matt Ettus, Stefan Petersen and Bas Gieltjes. * Added a bunch of contributed symbols. Thanks to all that have contributed! There are now 566 symbols in the library. * Documentation. There are the beginnings of docs now. Here's the current list: attributes.txt -- Master attribute list fileformats.html -- gEDA file formats gschem.txt -- The start of a serious user's guide keymapping.html -- Stefan's keymapping document netattrib.txt -- A HOWTO on the net= attribute symbols.html -- The ever useful symbol creation guide * Bug fixes and improvements to some of the utils. * Lots and lots of bug fixes (and bug introductions).
