Release Notes for PCB snapshot 20050315
========================================================================
- Several footprint library fixes including TO-220 parse errors and
incorrect drill holes on several componenets.
- Fixed a crashing bug in the pinout window.
- Allow the FAB author to be set via an Xresource to override what
PCB might have gotten from the gecos information.
- Added table of standard drill sizes to the manual.
- Fixed a crashing bug when trying to use arrow keys to adjust the scale
slider in the print dialog box.

Release Notes for PCB snapshot 20050127
========================================================================
- Fix drill size for PLCC sockets in ~geda library. Fix drill size for
LED3 and LED5 footprints in ~geda library.
- Move the right-click popup menu to pcb-menu.res.
- Add DisperseElements() action for spreading out elements in an initial
layout.
- Fix fab drawing output for the case where a very small number of
drill sizes are used.
- Various documentation improvements.
- Remove many compiler warnings.
- Added metric output to the cursor display
- Fix <Key>. for toggling 45 degree mode.
- Crosshair snap snaps to center of pads and also to the mark of the
element.
- Protect all strcmp() calls with a check for a NULL pointer. Fixes
various crashes.
- Fixed the mode buttons which were unresponsive in some versions of
the X libraries.
- Element names may be edited over the element.
- Added --enable-efence for ElectricFence debugging. Off by default
- Added --disable-rpath to avoid using rpath for the X libraries.
- Added vendor resource file support. This allows lets you specify
a set of allowed drill sizes and drc rules for a particular vendor.
- Added -action command line option to allow executing an action on
startup.
- Date and time of compilation added to About dialog.
- Fix a bug where the soldermask relief on a new element is 100x smaller
than the default when "convert buffer to element" is used.
- Fix a name_tree corruption bug when changing an element name.
- Don't remove the formatted manual with a 'make clean' since they are
part of the distfile.
- Let automake handle the html and pdf conversion. This ends up using
texi2pdf for the pdf output which seems to do a better job than ps2pdf.
- Sort actions by modifier so that both Ctrl<Key>x and <Key>x work.
- Fix a SelectByName bug.
- Fix non-gcc compilation
- Command history added to :
- Fixed pinout window crash
- Allow Ctrl-drag to copy objects in arrow mode.
- Fixed a polygon clearance bug
- Fix an arc bounding box calculation error.

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.

Release Notes for PCB snapshot 20040903
========================================================================
- enable -Wall when compiling with gcc. Many compiler warnings have
been fixed.
- add a short man page which refers the user to the real documentation
- Added ExecuteFile(file) action which allows the execution of several
actions contained in a text file.
- Added -script <file> flag which specifies a file containing actions
to be executed upon startup.
- Various documentation improvements
- Protect some gcc extensions with tests for gcc. This allows
compilation with the IRIX c compiler.
- Add support for a background image in the drawing area which can
help in importing a layout from a scanned image.
- Updated the ~geda library 150 and 300 mil width SOIC packages
to remove silk on pads and to more closely follow the IPC
recommendations
- Added support for menu accelerators.
- segfault when breaking apart an element with no element selected
bug fixed.
- autorouter improvements
- added more 400mil DIP packages to ~geda library
- fix a trace optimizer bug which produced a segfault
- other various bug fixes

Release Notes for PCB snapshot 20040530
========================================================================
This has been an exciting 3 months for PCB. Many improvements have
been made in the program as well as additions and improvements to the
footprint library. Thanks to everyone who has provided feedback,
patches, etc.
----------------------
Additions/Improvements
----------------------
- Expanded DRC checking
- "Realtime" DRC checking
- DRC settings are now stored in the board fle
- Centroid (X-Y) and bill of materials output
- Dynamic menus. Users can now customize the menus via a
site-wide, per-user, or per-project menu resource file.
- Significant improvements to autorouting of congested designs.
- Autorouter can now use power planes.
- Improved appearance in autorouter output.
- Silk on pads/pins is clipped in RS-274-X output
- Ordering is preserved when writing output files so that diff
may be effectively used on pcb files.
- The autoplace feature now actually works
- Added ToggleVisibility action
- Most of the database is now kept in rtrees which avoids linear
searches. This speeds up operation significantly.
- Added SetFlag, ClrFlag, ChangeFlag actions
---------
Bug Fixes
---------
- pin/pad bounding box calculation fixed. Components can
now be placed closer to the edge of the board.
- miter trace optimization bug.
- Fix bug with pins which are enclosed by multiple polygons.
- Shorts to unnamed elements and pins are handled correctly.
- Various memory leaks fixed.
- Fixed some bugs with a really high zoom.
- Fixed default media selection in postscript print dialog
- Fix some DRC bugs with square pins.
------------------
Footprint Library:
------------------
- Added SOJ footprint family (~geda library)
- Added CTS series 742/3/4/5/6 resistor pack footprints (~cts library)
- Added PKG_CONNECTOR_DIL macro to let the HEADER*_1 footprints work
(~geda library)
- Correct the SDIP footprints (~geda library)
- Correct some Minicircuits footprints (~minicircuits library)
- Correct some panasonic footprints (~panasonic library)
- Change refdes silk size for sockets (~johnstech library)
- Increase soldermask relief on some mounting holes
(~johnstech library)
- Convert the COMMON_SMT_DIL_MIL and COMMON_SMT_DIL_MM macros
used by several other libraries to the hi-res format.
- Correct pin count on 100 pin QFP packages (100 not 72)
(~geda library)
- Correct pin count on HEADER60_2 (60 not 50) (~geda library)

with 8.4 will be updated to depend on x11/tk after Tk update.

A partial list of what's new is:
- Internal resolution changed to 0.01 mil from 1.0 mil
- Improved DRC checking
- Mirroring/rotating of buffers
- Undo works on trace optimizations
- Fixed polygon undo bugs
- Fix arc DRC bugs
- Added local measurement for line drawing
- Added mode for polygon viewing to help examing planes
- Added new footprint libraries (amp, amphenol, bourns, johnstech,
minicircuits, panasonic)
- Added new footprints to the geda library
- Other bug fixes

Pcb - X11 interactive printed circuit board layout system.
Pcb is a handy tool for the X Window System to design printed
circuit boards. All coordinate units are 1/1000 inch.
Please note that this package is a development snapshot and while it contains
the latest and greatest features, it may be buggy as well. There is a seperate
pcb package which is made of the stable releases.
