additions/changes since gerbv-0.15:
* projects: you can save and load setups in what I call projects.
* GTK+ 2 support
* Now you can invert a layer by the push of button. Basically.
* When gerber files were defined with omit trailing zeros, gerbv could
parse them very bad. Now it should work better.
* Aperture macros did not handle exposures at all. Now they do a better
work. Some thermals are defined from their CAD program as a sequence of
aperture macros instead of just using aperture macro 7. They are drawn
better now.
* Handles tool tables when drawing drill files thanks to Dimitri. See man
page for more info.

* You cannot compile with backend anymore, switch is removed. In last
release this caused compilation error due to bit rot.
* Drawing of arcs is a constant headache. Mark Whitis found another
case that I had missed out. Clockwise arcs all of a sudden started
to be drawn as counter-clockwise.
* Arcs with very small angle differences could either be a complete
circle or a very small part of an arc. Calculating the angles with
integers wasn't sufficient, anyhow. They are now doubles all the way.
* Aperture macro primitive 1 was a _filled_ circle.
* Image rotate used to cause warnings that it wasn't implemented. Now
if the file has an image rotate on zero degrees there is no warning
(yes I've seen it).
* Dan McMahill discovered that if you tried to swap with an unused layer
gerbv segfaulted.
* Peter Monta submitted patch for incremental coordinates.
* No traces of Guile left...

changes since 0.0.5:
- Turn on and off explicit layers.
- Color on button reflect color on layer.
- Automatic detection of drill- or gerber file.
- Tooltips over buttons to reflect loaded filename.
- Handles Polygon Area Fill
- Major rehacking of file IO and pan code to significantly
increase speed.
- Autoscaling. Loaded gerber files are automagically scaled and
panned to fit in window. Also possible to do with loaded files
with Zoom/Fit meny option.
- configure.in enhancement to support package building in Red Hat.
Thanks to Wojciech Kazubski for patch.
- bzero changed to memset, which hopefully is more POSIX (for portability).
- Loads of bugs squashed and hopefully fewer added.

Gerber Viewer (gerbv) is a viewer for Gerber files. Gerber files
are generated from PCB CAD system and sent to PCB manufacturers
as basis for the manufacturing process.
The different layers of the PCB are separated into different files.
gerbv can load all files at the same time, though it can not show
them at the same time. You have to browse through the different layers
with the radio buttons on the right side.
