Release notes for the gEDA/gaf 20061020 snapshot
Changes
_________________________________________________________________
libgeda/gschem
libgeda and gschem no longer use libgdgeda (which was a gEDA specific
hack to the libgd library). gEDA/gaf now wants to use the original
GD library. (Wojciech Kazubski and Carlos Nieves Onega with
cleanup by others)
*
* gEDA/gaf now compiles out of the box on cygwin. (Cesar Strauss)
* Fixed bug #1553544: "New pages inadvertently created when adding
nets in gschem" (Peter Clifton)
* New component selection dialog box for gschem. This one is so much
better than the original one. Please test it out and submit
comments to the mailing lists. (Patrick Bernaud)
* The preview window is inside the file selectors again. The preview
window has been refactored and improved. (Patrick Bernaud)
* gschem now places a title block (or any component the user wants)
when a new page/window is created. This solves the common complain
that the initial zoom is way to far out. (Carlos Nieves Onega)
* Improvements to the new print dialog box: Make print settings
sticky for session. (Peter Brett)
* Fixed bug #1527465: Do a zoom extents for all pages when the main
window is maximized. (Carlos Nieves Onega and others)
* Fixed bug #1565433: Added the border in the gdk-pixbuf's image
output. (Carlos Nieves Onega)
* New dialog for user confirmation before closing a page or a
window. This is also a great improvement over the previous exit
confirm dialog box. (Patrick Bernaud)
* Various language translations updated.
* libgeda's shared library version is now 27:0:0.
* Many more bug fixes and code cleanups. (various people)
gnetlist
* Fixed PCB cursor related issues (Peter Clifton and Stuart
Brorson).
* Minor cleanup of gnet-PCB backend. (Thien-Thi Nguyen)
gattrib
* Made gattrib throw up GUI window warning user of no components or
attributes. (Stuart Brorson)
* File browsers in gattrib are now the same ones that gschem uses.
(Patrick Bernaud)
* The usual bug fixes and code cleanup. (various)
docs
* Updated the wiki snapshot to the latest web wiki version.
symbols
* linear/lm311-1.sym: Removed the GND false connection of the
symbol. (Ramakrishnan Muthukrishnan, John Luciani, and Carlos
Nieves Onega).
* Lots of off grid symbols cleaned up. (Werner Hoch)
gsymcheck
* Adds newline that is missing from the "Found Pintype=..." message
in s_check_pintype() in s_check.c. (Jeff Mallatt and Carlos Nieves
Onega)
* gsymcheck now counts the number of distinct pinnumbers specified
in all slotdef= attributes. Uses that number, plus the number of
net= pins, to compare with the "footprint size" when checking for
that warning. (Jeff Mallatt and Carlos Nieves Onega).
utils
* Applied patches for the cygwin port. Lots of various improvements
to make gschemdoc more Windows friendly (at least under cygwin).
(Cesar Strauss, Peter Brett, and Carlos Nieves Onega)
examples
* No significant changes

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.

and add a new helper target and script, "show-buildlink3", that outputs
a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.
For example, "make show-buildlink3" in fonts/Xft2 displays:
zlib
fontconfig
iconv
zlib
freetype2
expat
freetype2
Xrender
renderproto

|
of the order in which buildlink3.mk files are (recursively) included
by a package Makefile.

that they look nicer.

RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).

- added autobackup (saves to backup files every <n> seconds)
- added "L" drawing support
- added embedded picture support
- added a few new symbols
- added support for spice netlisting of Josephson junction devices
- added pcbpins netlist backend for forward annotating schematic pin
names to PCB layouts.
- several odd bug fixes

of the shlib major bump.
PKGREVISION++ for the dependencies.
|
|
Major changes since the last snapshot:
- gsch2pcb updated to work with latest pcb
- pcb library directories default to something sane for gsch2pcb
- grenum utility for refdes renumbering added
- add a few new symbols
- added -p option to autoplace the windows. Useful for scripting.
- gattrib can now change attribute visibility
- improvements to the spice-sdb netlist backend
- added support for printing pictures in schematics to postscript
- added german translation
- fixed a segfault in the geda manager.

|
file's sole purpose was to provide a dependency on pkg-config and set
some environment variables. Instead, turn pkg-config into a "tool"
in the tools framework, where the pkg-config wrapper automatically
adds PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to the environment before invoking the real
pkg-config.
For all package Makefiles that included pkg-config/buildlink3.mk, remove
that inclusion and replace it with USE_TOOLS+=pkg-config.
|
|
No PKGREVISION bump since pkg-config is only a BUILD_DEPENDS.

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.

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

Unfortunately, guile{,14}/buildlink3.mk directly includes it, and I don't
know which dependencies actually need libltdl, so it was a recursive bump.
Hopefully this recursive inclusion can be ripped out of
guile{,14}/buildlink3.mk at some point and bubble down to dependencies that
actually use libltdl, avoiding this headache in the future....
|
|
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
|
|
All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".

OK'ed by dmcmahill@, the maintainer.
Bump PKGREVISION due to the dependency change.

by moving the inclusion of buildlink3.mk files outside of the protected
region. This bug would be seen by users that have set PREFER_PKGSRC
or PREFER_NATIVE to non-default values.
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES should be ordered so that for any package in the
list, that package doesn't depend on any packages to the left of it
in the list. This ordering property is used to check for builtin
packages in the correct order. The problem was that including a
buildlink3.mk file for <pkg> correctly ensured that <pkg> was removed
from BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and appended to the end. However, since the
inclusion of any other buildlink3.mk files within that buildlink3.mk
was in a region that was protected against multiple inclusion, those
dependencies weren't also moved to the end of BUILDLINK_PACKAGES.

Release notes for the gEDA/gaf 20040111 snapshot
Changes
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
General / Summary
* Lots of changes in most areas. This release contains the largest amount of changes in quite a while.
Expect bugs, crashes, and general instability. If you tell me about them, I might be able to fix them.
* Probably the biggest set of changes were the addition of multi-line text support. The bulk of the work was
done by Carlos. The text add dialog box and the multi attribute add/change dialog box both support the
adding and editing of multi line text items, however, I am going to change these dialog boxes in a
subsequent release to be a little like the old behavior, but still support multi-line text support. Full
multi-line text support requires that you use gtk+ 2.2.x.
* Also part of the above changes was to get rid of some fixed sized buffers within libgeda and gschem.
Hopefully I have hashed out all the bugs in these changes, but I wouldn't be surprised if I missed
something. Please report all crashes. Thanks.
* Changed the file format a little. Changed the way sch/sym files are versioned and added a field to the
text item to support the multi-line text feature addition. I recommend everybody run gsymupdate and
gschupdate (and verify the resulting files!) to get rid of the log warning message. gEDA/gaf will always
write the new file format for all saved schematic/symbols.
* The v flag (the version of the sym/sch file), in the past, was keyed off of a version date, such as
20030901. Starting with 20040111, I am no longer using this date as the version of the sch/sym file, but
rather I added a new field (number) which is the file format version. The new version line looks like:
v 20040111 1
This is nice that I don't have to update all the symbols, schematics, etc... to get rid of a log warning
message. The current version of the file format is 1. All past files are versioned as 0. As an experiment,
I left all the symbol files at v 20031231 1 and nobody should care/notice. I am planning more changes to
the file format in subsequent releases and this version field will make changing it easier.
* The text object has an additional field which is the number of lines (N) the text item contains. The text
item is then followed by N number of lines of text. Example:
T 48400 59900 9 10 1 0 0 0 3
Line1
Line2
Line3
* The component libraries:
vhdl, verilog, new asic, and the new gnetman
are commented OUT in the system-commonrc file. I did this because there are significant symbol name
clashes between these libraries. If you want to use one of these libraries, please place the appropriate
(component-library "...") string in some rc file. This commenting out is temporary, till I fix the
component name clashing bug (jitterbug#9).
* The component-library-search keyword in the system-commonrc file was commented out. If a directory is
specified for the component-library-search keyword, then libgeda/gschem/gnetlist will automatically find
any directories in the specified directory and add them to the component search path. By having this
keyword in place, this would have undone the above commenting out.
If gschem/gnetlist cannot find your custom component libraries after upgrading to 20040111, then either
comment in the component-library-search keyword back into the system-commonrc file or explicitly add the
custom component libraries to an rc file. The latter action is prefered.
This info was added on 02/08/2004.
* Upgraded all packages to use gettext (GNU gettext) 0.12.1. I don't think that anybody who downloads the
source tarballs will need this particular version, but you will certainly need it if you build the CVS
version.
* Partially applied Carlos' UTF-8 patch for gtk+ 2.2.x. I couldn't test the complete patch, so I will keep
working on this. Moving libgeda to use UTF-8 internally is going to be a bit of work, but the sooner it
happens, the better.
* The gEDA Suite setup program has been improved considerably. It now supports the download of the tarballs
automatically using wget. All you need to get from the gEDA website is the toplevel Makefile and type:
make xinstall and the setup program will do the rest. See below in the build section for more information
on using xinstall. Please report any problems with gEDA Suite setup so it can be further improved.
* Much more documentation that gets installed now (almost all of it). I included Bill Wilson's gsch2pcb
tutorial and Russ Dill's tragesym tutorial. I also am installing all READMEs, so please see the
gedadocs.html file for almost all available documentation on gEDA/gaf. You can access this file via
Help/Manual... in gschem (make sure you have a web browser installed).
libgeda
* Shared library version number now at 20.
* In 20030901, libgeda was accidentally being built without optimization. Fixed in this version.
* Applied Carlos Nieves Onega's multi-line text patch. See below in the gschem for more info. This patch
changed and fixed a lot of things in libgeda, so expect some instability.
* Applied a few more patches by Carlos to perfect the multi-line text support in libgeda (mainly dealing
with support for tabs in multi-line text items).
* Added postscript output for mutli-line text items. This support is really new and not 100% perfect. Expect
some problems here, mainly when you start rotating and changing the alignment of many line text items.
Putting tabs into the text strings is not yet supported.
* Fixed a really nasty bug in o_attrib_get_name_value() which was caused by g_strsplit() not behaving the
same between glib 1.2.x and glib 2.2.x. Be careful when using g_strsplit, especially if you use both
versions of glib. Bug caught by Stuart.
gschem
* Added the --with-stroke command line to specify where ./configure can find the libstroke files.
* Changed the behavior of the print dialog box to close when the user presses the Print button.
* Added the ability to generate PNGs from the command line. Look at gschem/scripts/image.scm for the scheme
script. Command line looks like: gschem -o test.png -s image.scm filename.sch
* Added a schem rc keyword: image-size which lets you set the size of the PNG image generated using the
above guile script.
* Applied Carlos Nieves Onega's multi-line text patch. This patch adds multi-line text support to
gschem/libgeda. This patch made some very deep changes to internals which haven't changed in years, so
expect some instability. Multi-line text is properly supported only when using gtk+ 2.2.x. You will be
able to load schematics and edit multi-line text (in a limited fashion) if you use gtk+ 1.2.x
* Part of the above patch was the removal of a bunch of fixed sized buffers. Hopefully Carlos and I have
fixed all issues surrounding these changes, but expect some instability here as well as we work out the
kinks.
* Applied a patch by Carlos to highlight the proper alignment value in the pull down menu in the Edit
Text... dialog box.
* Fixed the visual alignment of the menu items and hotkeys when using gtk+ 2.2.x.
* Improved the appearance of a few of the dialog box, by mainly adding whitespace. A few dialog box got a
few more touch ups, but nothing too drastic.
* Applied a patch by Carlos to add multi-line attribute editing to the multi attribute dialog box. The
changes for this are not complete and will change in the next release.
* Updated the pt_BR.po with Antonio's UTF-8 version.
* Applied Stuart's multi-select open patch. Now you can select multiple schematics to open using the
File/Open... dialog box. Hold down the shift or control key as you click on filenames.
* Part of Carlos' multi-line text patch was to change the quick rendering of text from a line to a
rectangle. Refined and refactored this code a little to properly display attributes.
* Fixed a long standing bug in the File/Open... and File/Close... mechanisms when dealing with multiple
windows. Bug identified by Karel Kulhav.
* Fixed a long standing bug in the preview window (for schematics and components) where there would be
garbage data in the bottom of the window. The bug only manifested itself under very specific conditions
and only when using gtk+ 1.2.x. I'm quite surprised nobody else complained about it (or rather recently).
* Applied a patch by Carlos to support the new Spanish characters.
* Fixed the invalid scrollbars on startup bug.
* Updated the man page a little bit. Added code to the build mechanism to generate an html version of the
man page, which is installed into the documentation directory.
* Bunch of other improvements and bug fixes.
gnetlist
* Upgraded Bill Wilson's gsch2pcb gnetlist backend to the latest (1.4)
* Applied all of Carlos' DRC2 patches.
* Applied all of Stuart's spice-sdb patches. The included spice-sdb backend should be Stuart's absolute
latest version. A bunch of improvements to various parts of gnetlist were included in these patches.
* Applied of Stuart's patch to the partlist backends.
* Updated the man page a little bit. Added code to the build mechanism to generate an html version of the
man page, which is installed into the documentation directory.
* Added the scheme rc keyword: unnamed-netname which lets you control what the unnamed nets should be
called.
* Add the necessary rules to the Makefiles to install all the backend READMEs into the documentation
directory.
* Applied a patch by Christopher K Eveland to fix a condition where gschem2pcb was picking up a pin when it
should not. If somebody could test gschem2pcb on an existing project and make sure it still works as
expect, it would be greatly appreciated.
* Added the Racal Redac format backend by W. Kazubski.
* Added the new RF Cascade and futurenet2 backends by Dan McMahill.
* Applied a bunch of patches by Dan for doing net aliasing/renaming. These patches touched the C files as
well as various backends.
* Applied a few more patches by Dan to fix some m4 quoting issues with the PCB backends.
* Bunch of other minor bug fixes.
gsymcheck
* No significant changes (lots of pending work though).
* Updated the man page a little bit. Added code to the build mechanism to generate an html version of the
man page, which is installed into the documentation directory.
symbols
* Werner Hoch has fixed a whole slew of symbols in various component libraries. Thanks Werner!
* Added a whole bunch of contributed symbols from various people. Thanks.
* Added a bunch of new Spanish characters by Carlos.
* Removed vhdl, verilog, asic, and gnetman from the system-commonrc file.
geda (gManager)
* Piotr Miarecki added a bunch of features and fixed a few bugs in gManager. Give it a try and let him how
gManager works for you. gManager is looking really nice.
* Integrated Antonio's pt_BR translation. This should work now.
* Added a strategic sleep to the mainloop of gManager to reduce the CPU load.
utils
* Updated Bill Wilson's gsch2pcb to version 1.4
* Add the necessary rules to the Makefiles to install all the backend READMEs into the documentation
directory.
* Integrated Stuart's garchive script.
docs
* Applied a whole bunch of patches from Dan McMahill to the symbol creation guide. These patches added/fixed
information related to the footprint= attribute.
* Started using hyperref.sty for all LaTeX generated documentation, which adds hyperlinks to the pdf files.
* Added a bunch of converted txt -> tex documents. The conversions were done by Dan McMahill.
* Added the Dan McMahill's documentation for the RF Cascade gnetlist backend.
* Rewrote the toplevel gedadocs.html index file to link all the new documentation, readmes, man pages, and
tutorials. The gedadocs.html now file contains almost all existing documentation on gEDA/gaf that I'm
aware of.
* Added a couple of tutorials that people have written. Namely Bill Wilson's gsch2pcb and Russ Dill's
tragesym tutorials. Both of these tutorials are accessible from the gedadocs.html file.
* Explicitly stated in the file formats document that all the file formats associated with gEDA/gaf are
covered by the GPL version 2.0.
* Lots of improvements and fixes to various docs.
examples
* No significant changes.
For more a detailed changes, please look in the appropriate ChangeLogs in the source tarballs.

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.

future.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
Many bug fixes and improvements since last snapshot. Many more
symbols added to the libraries.
