	Release notes for the gEDA/gaf 20050313 snapshot Changes _________________________________________________________________ general * Lots and lots and lots of code cleanup, refactoring, and bug fixing by Patrick Bernaud, Stuart Brorson, Carlos Nieves Onega, Werner Hoch, and Dan McMahill. This applies to all parts of gEDA/gaf. The amount of cleanup is quite staggering, so please look at the various ChangeLogs for more info. Many thanks to all who lent a hand in this rather difficult task! libgeda * Shared library version number now at 23. * Carlos added proper unicode support to libgeda. Schematic and symbol files can now have unicode characters in them and as long as there is a font definition file for them, the characters will appear in gschem. This was the last piece for making the transition over to gtk+ 2.2.x. Patrick did some misc cleanup on the unicode support as well. * Patrick rewrote the logging mechanism to use GLib's message logging. * Carlos added picture support to libgeda. This allows users to put pictures in various formats into schematics. Pictures are not yet rendered in postscript or png files. This feature will be completed in a subsequent release. * Dan added electric fence support to all configure scripts. * Dan squashed a whole bunch of gcc warnings as well turning on -Wall by default to further point out developer laziness. :) * Patrick rewrote the all guile code to use the 1.6.x scm interfaces. Dan and Carlos did some minor touch up to catch other missed deprecated guile interfaces. * Patrick rewrote the component library code to be sane. * Stuart added code to read in rc files when a schematic file is loaded from a foreign directory. This allows users to open up schematics that have local symbols. * Stuart add code for of a component placeholder for when a component cannot find its symbol file. This was extended a little to draw a graphic informing the user which component is missing its symbol file. * Fixed the symversion= code handling to deal with the case when no other attributes are attached to the component. In the past, this scenario was simply ignored. * Added code (temporarily till the bug is fixed) which forces libgeda to output the vector font when rendering multi-line text items. This behavior can be controlled via the gschem rc keyword: output-vector-threshold gschem * Werner Hoch completely rewrote the Attributes/Autonumber Text... dialog box. This new dialog boxes fixes some of the past problems and hopefully will satisfy more users given that it has far more capability than the last dialog box. * Patrick completely rewrote the multi attribute dialog box. This is a significant change which really improves the usability of this dialog box. Other than just being a major visible improvement, there are other features: you right click on the attributes themselves to Delete or Duplicate them and you can enter multi-line attributes by hitting Control-Enter instead of enter. * Bert Timmerman contributed an updated Dutch translation. * Iznogood contributed the first versions of the French translation. * Carlos added the first versions of the Spanish translation. * Carlos went through all the code and gave them all stock pretty stock icons. * Patrick completely rewrote the page manager to be sane. * Stuart improved the right mouse button pop up menu to include a few more commonly used options. * Handsom Greg supplied a patch to allow gEDA/gaf to build using gtk+ 2.6.x. * Patrick removed any limitations on number of files in the component library code. * Part of Stuart's work on reading in rc files in different directories, system-commonrc was renamed to system-gafrc. * Patrick rewrote most of the code for the line type and fill type dialog boxes. They can now be used for multiple objects. gnetlist * Carlos modified the bom, bom2, drc2, and redac backends to write to stdout if a "-" is specified using the -o flag. * Dan added several guile functions to deal with target netlist refdes requirements which may be more restrictive than gschem/gnetlist. Dan also updated his futurenet2, pads, and switcap backends to use these new functions. * Carlos improved his drc2 backend to check for duplicated references as well as properly return exit codes to allow gnetlist to be used in Makefiles easily. * Carlos added several functions for use in the DRC backend. gattrib * Stuart made a bunch of bug fixes and improvements including: * Added a pop-up window if a component is found with no symbol file. * Fixed a bug where only one page of design was searched for missing attribs. * Fixed bug where pre-existing attribs were deleted instead of being replaced. * Added support for slotted components. gsymcheck * Carlos added a check of the pintype attribute value. * No other significant changes except a bunch of code cleanup and updating. symbols * Carlos and Patrick made the necessary changes support unicode characters in gEDA/gaf. Wojciech Kazubski also contributed Polish font definitions. * Stuart added a bunch of SPICE symbols. * Werner Hoch did a considerable amount of fixing of various broken symbols. Many thanks. geda (gManager) * Applied segfault patch by Werner Hoch. * Added updated Italian translation by Marco Colombo. * No other significant changes except a bunch of code cleanup and updating. utils * Stuart added additional printfs to gsch2pcb during directory search when using the -v -v flags. * No other significant changes except a bunch of code cleanup and updating. docs * The gsch2pcb tutorial was updated to the latest version. * Carlos updated the file format document to describe the new picture object. examples * Stuart updated some of the schematics in the RF_Amp example. For more a detailed changes, please look in the appropriate ChangeLogs in the source tarballs.
2005-01-11	update to 20041228.	dmcmahill	1	-7/+5
	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.
