to make it build with newer boost library.
Changes since 4.0.1:
Do not allow spaces in component name (value field) in
component library editor, in dialogs (Edit field, Create component).
Remove front silkscreen default setting for PTH and NPTH pads.
OSX: back port touchpad support from development branch.
Add support for optional touchpad panning (merge of rev. 6586 from
development branch)
OSX: legacy canvas rendering speed improvements.
PolyLine.cpp: NormalizeAreaOutlines now removes null segments.
Remove support for in processing setting of ld library path.
Eeschema: make footprint and datasheet initially invisible, when creating a
component.
Make color names translatable in color selection dialog.
Mark locked tracks with 'L' letter in status field.
Added 'Reset Grid Origin' hot key (GAL).
Add support for PCB and footprint format versioning
Highlight a net when crossprobing with eeschema and highlight net tool
is enabled.
Make DRC markers not editable with the standard tools (GAL).
Draw arrows for DRC markers (GAL).
and lots of bug fixes.
There has been a lot of development since the previous version in
pkgsrc. DWG read/write support and SVG export are major features,
along with moving to Qt4 and onwards. The QCAD toolbar is no longer
supported, and the program is faster in operation than the previous
pkgsrc version.
Apart from the github commit log which is overly detailed, the
previous release information with some change logs is at

------------------------------------
3.3.75 02aug16 Fix crash when -S and -W are used in tandem.
3.3.76 13aug16 Fix for --disable-tcl in ./configure caused by 3.3.75 fix.
Crash fix in fstapi.c on read value at time accessing of
FST files that use new dynamic aliases, FastLZ, or LZ4. This
primarily affects rtlbrowse.
for QCAD 3. This is now provided as a bunch of archives
for different categories but I have merged them into a
common package as we had before and the package version
is the date of the latest update.
QCAD has been largely rewritten since the previous version
(QCAD 2) was updated in pkgsrc, meaning that the changes are
vast. From the authors website:
QCAD 3 comes with a new and improved CAD engine which improves
performance (spatial index) and allows for advanced property
editing and future extensions (dynamic properties). The other
major addition is a powerful and complete ECMAScript interface.
New interactive tools can be developed with a few lines of
ECMAScript but even entire new applications can be developed
using QCAD technology. QCAD 3 is also the first QCAD version
that fully supports the DWG format as well as various different
versions of the DXF format.
The complete ChangeLog is at http://www.qcad.org/en/changelog
These are for QCAD 2 and will be no longer required for
QCAD 3 which I am preparing as it has the equivalent
built in and a more comprehensive user manual online, or
you can buy a book from the author.
-----------------------------
3.3.74 27jul16 Fix for when a signal name is used as a hierarchy name at the
same level of scope. (Affects fsdb.)
Added --rcvar command line option to insert rc variable changes
individually without needing to point to a configuration file.
Change to combine traces down/up routines to handle 2D vector
name generation.
Allow FSDB files to contain ".gz" and ".bz2" suffixes as the
libnffr loader can handle those.
If a variable is declared in the dumpfile as an integer, then
it is imported to the waveform display as an integer instead of
a hex value. This works for dump file formats that show the
datatype in the SST window.
Added code that should prevent the primary marker from
disappearing unexpectedly as well as dynamic resizing being
stuck in the unset marker width.
-------------------------
- v0.9
Almost version 1.0...
This version introduces new translation and copy features
added by John Bell. A new flag for joining polygons before
offsetting them has also been included.
- v0.8.1 Faster boolean and offset
This release introduces the Clipper library for better
performance on boolean and offset operations on polygons.
Compiled Windows binaries are contributed by @johnlb.
- v0.7.1 First GitHub release
Minor structural changes since version 0.7.
Compiled Windows binaries for Python 3.5 are contributed by
@johnlb.
Gdspy is a Python module for creating GDSII stream files, usually CAD
layouts. It includes a layout viewer for the geometries created, and
it can also be used to import and merge GDSII files.
-----------------------------
Version 0.24.8
Release date: 2016-06-19
- Bugfix: XOR and different or big database units: With
tiling, XOR between two layouts with different database
units was still not working correctly. Also, when the
database unit was larger than 1nm, the XOR feature was
dropping results sometimes when tiling was on.
- Enhancements: progress bar shown also for "-z" mode
scripts: The solution of 0.24.7 has been modified to avoid
annoying progress bar windows popping up in
background-window mode: Now, progress bar windows will
only pop up if an active main window is present. This will
enable progress bars for scripts that open their own main
windows but still keep the application GUI-less when the
script does not do so.
- Bugfix: Crash on empty panel: When "New/Panel" is used a
view without a layout is created. An attempt to create
layout on such panels crashed the application.
- Bugfix: LEF reader now can read PIN statements including VIA
- Bugfix: Polygon smoothing was not working properly in some
cases Previously the smoothing function was sometimes
dropping vertexes from the polygons. Smoothing now does
also guarantee not to exceed the given distance.
- Bugfix: Sorting cells by area now sorts cells by name as
second choice In the previous version, cells with
identical area were grouped but the order was
arbitrary. Now the name is used as the second-level
sorting criterion which keeps such cells sorted by name.
- Add following line, pkglint flags.
.include "../../graphics/hicolor-icon-theme/buildlink3.mk"
(upstream)
- Updated cad/gtkwave to 3.3.73
-------------------------------
3.3.73 11jun16 Added dragzoom_threshold rc variable to accommodate input
devices that have a noisy 3rd mouse button.
Fix emission of all filter names so they are emitted in
canonical fashion so as to avoid growing strings of ../ in
savefiles.
--------------------------
Release notes for EAGLE 7.6.0
=============================
* Platforms:
- Since EAGLE requires OS X 10.8 or higher on MAC which are all 64 bit OS,
we are no longer providing the 32 bit version for MAC.
* EDIT command:
- Now the EDIT command allows changing to the proper editor window with
'edit .sch' and 'edit .brd' even in the library editor.
* USE command:
- Extended syntax for USE to unuse a specific library (use -a.lbr).
- The USE command can now also be called in the library editor (although the
list of used libraries is only relevant in schematic or board editor).
* Miscellaneous:
- Ensuring the requested precision on linear dimension values even if there
are trailing zeroes.
- Now the net class is copied if a signal polygon is renamed to a new signal.
- Termination of EAGLE by watchdog if the improper 'eagle.exe' is used together
with the CAM processor option '-X'.
- The User Language dialog object dlgTabWidget now accepts a parameter 'Index';
it has to be an integer variable and can be used to set the initial
dlgTabPage and to get the index of the current dlgTabPage.
- Added a note to help about eaglecon.exe including a warning regarding
the closing of it.
- Avoiding unintended deletion of several MUST gates w/o using Shift+Left.
- Added a 'save-brd-variants.ulp' which can be used to save a board file for
each assembly variant (may be used to prepare CAM output).
- Added entry 'DXF' to File/Import sub menu of the library editor in package
or symbol edit mode.
- The color entries #7 (DARKGRAY) of the white and the colored palette
have been changed to darker values; the same applies to 'defaultcolors.scr'.
- Changed UPDATE behavior for variable attributes: retaining changes in
schematic and board.
- Added an option to textually display the via length. It can be set in the
Settings dialog under 'Misc' or with 'SET Option.ViaLength 1|0'.
- Improved support for high DPI displays: providing the high
resolution for enlarged icons and dialog texts.
- Added a note to help for COPY of library objects regarding paths.
- Improved error message when a CAM job or section is tried to start but no
board or schematic is loaded.
- Added auto connection of ports if MOVEing them on each other.
- Added exp-palette.ulp for exporting the color palettes to an EAGLE script.
- Improved construction of a polygon: now the last wire piece can be removed
with the escape key.
- Avoiding drag&drop in Control Panel by unintended click of the mouse wheel
button.
- Added a warning about connections from a contact to several signals while
loading a board (there's no known way to achieve this illegal state within
EAGLE, though).
- Now the OPTIMIZE command is available in all drawing editor types apart from
the device editor.
- The groupwise moving of smashed texts of a locked element is now inhibited
only if the element is included in the moved group, too.
- Added cross probing (highlighting) of signals to a module net that has
generated the corresponding signal(s) completely.
- CAM Processor: when running 'Process Job' it is being checked if the job covers
the Layer Setup.
* Bugfixes:
- Taking into account connected ports to avoid 'Only one pin on net' ERC
error messages.
- Added Use and Un-Use buttons (with tool tips) in the ADD dialog to
countervail the (since V7.3) missing Drop button.
- Fix for wrong splitter position in device edit mode that could appear after
switching between different edit modes in library editor.
- Fix for EAGLE in command line mode: it could happen that a given command
sequence (option -C) was executed in the wrong editor window.
- Made the return key in Control Panel work again for activation of
tree entries.
- Fix for a parse error if in a CAM job description the sequence '="' was used.
- Avoiding references to ports of wrong type in bus or net segments.
- Fix to avoid pending file locks if EAGLE is closed over 'close all windows'
in the taskbar.
- Marking lock files as hidden also on Windows.
- Fix for window positions and other project settings not stored on MAC if
EAGLE was closed with 'Quit' in the application menu.
- Fixed drawing SMDs with roundness, if printing with option ROTATE.
- Avoiding temporary (not intended) mirroring of gates with the middle mouse
button when moving them in the device editor.
- Ensuring the proper device (package variant), if automatically changing into
the invoke mode while adding a device.
- bom.ulp: Fixed handling descriptions containing TAB characters.
- Changed handling of package names in the UPDATE command used in a library
to case insensitive (syntax 'UPDATE package_name@library_name').
- Added validation of bus name when it is changed by command line with
'NAME newBusName'.
- Ensuring proper cap style if constructing a new ARC.
- Made the popup menus for parameterbar, toolbar and commandbar buttons work
again on MAC.
- Denying renaming or deletion of a file in the Control Panel if a corresponding
lock file exists.
- Printing: fixed possibly missing caption and offsetted image on Windows.
- Fixed a possible inconsistency after library update with device sets involved
that couldn't be found in the new library and other special conditions.
- Fixed possible graphical artefacts when copying parts or elements by
GROUP/CUT/PASTE or COPY of a group.
- Fix for printing of non solid color fill styles to PDF.
- Made printing of non solid fill styles work again on Linux; clearer
output also on MAC.
- Fixed ADD dialog: no longer ignoring the first selection after clearing
the search field.
- Ensuring that only a schematic is imported into an existing module
(PASTE from file). It was possible to import a schematic/board pair
which lead to inconsistency.
- Fixed ULP filesize function for non existing files (now 0 is returned).
- Fixed dlgListView to execute the statement only if a valid item was
doubleclicked.
- Now dlgListView sets the parameter 'Selected' to -1 if nothing is selected
(see help).
- Avoiding a crash if trying to ROTATE a locked element with Click&Drag.
- Avoiding a locked element to become invisible if trying to MOVE it by
name (input e.g. 'move X10').
- Fixed f/b annotation if deleting a connection to a power pin and the gate
of this pin is placed in a module.
- Fixed unjustified ERC error message regarding an incompatibility of HIZ
pins on a net which is exported by a module with a PWR port.
- Avoiding a file locking conflict (timing issue) during library export.
- Fixed loss of the net wire if moving already connected ports on each other and
separating them again.
- Avoiding a too early deactivation of automatic confirmation mode during QUIT
(to avoid an undesired message stopping QUIT).
- Fixed generation of net wires if changing a module with direct connection
of port to port or pin.
- Fixed saving XML texts in drawings: drop invalid characters entered as texts
or descriptions (e.g by copy&paste).
- Improved validation of the port name if setting up a new port.
- Made UPDATEing libraries work with several dots like 'abc.ok.lbr'.
- Fixed drawing of mirrored or rotated frames.
- Changed handling of signal names in the OPTIMIZE command to case insensitive.
- Fixed ROUTE command with differential pairs; sometimes the initial wire
width was wrong.
- Avoiding a stuck progress bar if terminating a ULP with an exit code
within a script.
- Fixed possibly wrong window positions in case of a multi monitor setup on
Windows; improved handling of window restoration for multi monitor setup.
- Fixed a misinterpretation of colons in a sheet description; switching to
such a sheet with the sheet combobox didn't work.
- Fixed vanishing of smashed texts during MOVE of a group if the associated
element is locked.
- Fixed update of sheet thumbnails after adding a PORT.
- Fixed WINDOW FIT due to wrong calculation of the bounding box regarding
the cross-reference display area on MUST gates; only gates with text place-
holder '>XREF' are taken into account.
- Avoiding use of the colon for modules and module prefixes. It is reserved
as hierarchical name separator.
- Fixed net renaming issue: Renaming a net with segments on several sheets
over the INFO dialog could lead to inconsistency and empty net names.

http://www.klayout.de/development.html
--------------------------------------
Release date: 2016-05-03
Features:
- Bugfix: XOR and different database units: With tiling, XOR
between two layouts with different database units was not
working correctly.
- Enhancements: progress bar shown also for "-z" mode
scripts: Scripts running in KLayout with the "-z" option
(don't show main window) were not experiencing progress
reporting before. Now a small modal window is shown during
long-running operations that indicates the progress and
provides a Cancel button to abort the operation.
- Bugfix: Crash on using "Edit/Make cell": This happened
sometimes if the selected objects contained instances.
- Bugfix: Invalid behavior of paths with reflecting
segments: For example a path made of the points (0, 0),
(0, 1000) and (0, 0) had a reflecting segment which cause
some computations (for example the bounding box) to return
invalid results.
http://www.klayout.de/development.html
--------------------------------------------------------
Version 0.24.6
Release date: 2016-03-22
--------------------------------------------------------
- Bugfix: Early delete of plugin object when returning a new object from
PluginFactory#create_plugin. The returned object was not held, so in Ruby
the GC could destroy the object. This could lead to crashes in applications
employing the Plugin API.
- Bugfix: It was possible to edit read-only macros. For example, it was
possible to enter new lines in macros marked as read-only. However, these
changes were not saved.
- Bugfix: Shift+Tab not working in macro editor. On some platforms, Shift+Tab
was not working as expected. This key combinations was supposed to
left-shift a selected block an undo indents.
- Bugfix: Wrong scaling of layers when doing XOR's with layouts with
different database units. This happened when the layouts had different
layers and "summarize missing layers" was disabled.
- Bugfix: "Search & Replace" was not working properly if named layers were
present. Specifically the shape search was not working due to an
incorrectly formed query.
- Bugfix: Sizing produced incorrect results in case of slowly varying polygon
contours. The effect was a contour with spiky distortions where two "almost
parallel" edges connected.
- Bugfix: The diff tool was not reporting differences correctly when layers
were present in one layout while they were not present in the other. This
happened specficially when "Summarize missing layers" was disabled.
- Enhancement: New context mode in marker browser: "Current or Any". In this
mode, the markers are displayed in the context of the current cell. If that
is not possible because the markers are given for cells outside the cell
tree of the current cell, the fallback is to show the markers in the
current cell as in "Any" mode.
- Enhancement: More consistent behaviour of cell and category filters in the
marker browser. For example, the category filter is now also applied when
selecting a node for a certain cell in the cell branch and if nested
categories are present, the category filter is applied smarter - not just
on each category.
--------------------------------------------------------
Although a comparatively simple piece of software, a layout viewer is not
only just a tool for the chip design engineer. Today design's complexity
require not only a simple "viewer". Rather, a viewer is the microscope
through which the engineer looks at the design.
There are numerous viewers available, but sadly there are not many which
satisfy a few basic requirements. Most of them are commercial and
expensive. If there is need for a simple, yet powerful viewer - here it is.
FSDB detection when only .a files are present (necessary for
Ubuntu).
Fixed valgrind warning in fst.c for dead memory allocation.
Fixed signed fixed point binary number shift for negative
Update 3.3.68 to 3.3.70
-----------------------
3.3.69 03feb16 Added missing EXTLOAD_CFLAGS declarations in configure.ac for
FSDB detection when only .a files are present (necessary for
Ubuntu).
Fixed valgrind warning in fst.c for dead memory allocation.
Fixed signed fixed point binary number shift for negative
numbers.
Added ghw patch for missing enum crash in ghw files.
3.3.70 14feb16 Various warnings fixes from new version of scan-build.
Crash fix in Windows for transaction traces (broken since
VCD/TIM export in 3.3.61).

This package contains the component footprints for Kicad
Changes unknown, but probably new components, and convertion to the
new library format.
Note that the footprints are now in a separate package, kicad-footprints.
Major changes:
New graphics rendering backend GAL (OpenGL and Cairo) [currently pcbnew
only and does not yet support all legacy tools]
New s-expression based pcb format (.kicad_pcb)
New footprint library format (.pretty folder with .kicad_mod footprints)
Updated footprint editor (only usable with GAL renderer)
More advanced footprint manager concept called footprint library
table (fp-lib-table)
Ability to download footprints on the fly from git repositories
Official libraries are now stored on github and regularly updated
Awesome/Advanced Push and Shove (PnS) router (only usable with GAL renderer)
Interactive differential trace routing and tuning
Interactive trace length tuning
Much more realistic 3D board rendering
Intelligent library search with preview in Eeschema
Initial Python api for Pcbnew
Notes:
Symbols have changed size, been renamed, etc to follow the new KiCad library
conventions so you need to take care when working with older schematics if
you used the symbols packaged with KiCad.
The new pcb format cannot be loaded in older versions of KiCad.
Addresses pkg/49383 and pkg/46543

- *.pcb file version bumped to 20091103 to reflect coordinate units change.
- gEDA/pcb project moved to geda-project.org
use USE_TOOLS+= gm4:run instead of m4:run.
With our own m4 on NetBSD, the -d flag in the m4 invocation "eats"
the following -I<path> argument, so m4 won't find its own files,
and there may be other dependencies on GNU M4.
Bump PKGREVISION, since this is a bugfix.
The find-prefix infrastructure was required in a pkgviews world where
packages installed from pkgsrc could have different installation
prefixes, and this was a way for a dependency prefix to be determined.
Now that pkgviews has been removed there is no longer any need for the
overhead of this infrastructure. Instead we use BUILDLINK_PREFIX.pkg
for dependencies pulled in via buildlink, or LOCALBASE/PREFIX where the
dependency is coming from pkgsrc.
Provides a reasonable performance win due to the reduction of `pkg_info
-qp` calls, some of which were redundant anyway as they were duplicating
the same information provided by BUILDLINK_PREFIX.pkg.
---------------------
* EAGLE Editions:
- The EAGLE Freeware edition now starts with a temporary advertisement window
and the Control Panel has got an advertisement section.
- For the EAGLE Light edition (both Freeware and Commercial) the number of
available schematic sheets has been increased to 2.
* GUI:
- Now the icons in EAGLE are scalable (see Options menu in Control Panel).
The icons are in SVG format and stored in folder 'icons' under the bin folder.
The classic set of EAGLE icons is not available in SVG format and therefore
not scalable.
- Added highlighting of the current group if starting GROUP command.
- Added tool tips to the DRC/ERC error list containing the error descriptions.
* ULPs:
- Update of various ULPs integrated into EAGLE's editors:
- In the Board editor under File/Export the entries 'Unidat' (unidat.ulp) and
'DIF4.0' (dif40.ulp) have been taken out. An entry 'Mount SMD' has been added
(starting mountsmd.ulp).
- In the Board editor under File/Import the entry 'Ultiboard'
(import-ultiboard-ddf.ulp) has been taken out. The new entries 'DXF' and
'Gerber' have been added, executing import-dxf.ulp resp. import-gerber.ulp.
The Gerber import is a new functionality.
Import of DXF is available in the Schematic editor as well.
- In the Board editor under Tools the new entries 'Element array placement'
(new component-array.ulp) and 'Mirror board' (mirror-board.ulp) have been
added.
- In the Library editor there is now File/Import with entry 'BSDL', starting
make-symbol-device-package-bsdl.ulp.
* Miscellaneous:
- Extension of proxy settings by an optional username and password.
Saving of the password is also optional and in an encrypted form.
See Help/Check for Update/Configure in Control Panel.
- Added a special DRC error for intersecting signal polygons with same rank.
- Workaround for Linux 64 bit, because Red Hat (RHEL 6.6) is not
yet providing an up-to-date GLIBC library.
- Implementation of a basic file locking mechanism: by default any files
that are loaded into an EAGLE editor are locked, i.e. not available for
writing by other EAGLE instances. Locked files are reported to the user.
He can retry getting the file, save under a different name, continue editing
without saving or break the lock. The locking can be switched off
which is saved in eaglerc user settings.
- Added a new set of schematics, boards and libraries from 3rd party 'seeed'.
The libraries are in a directory 'seeed' under the library folder, the
schematics and boards in examples/'seeed' under the projects folder.
See also www.seeed.cc.
* Bugfixes:
- Fix for not searchable PDF printings on MAC.
- Fix to avoid intensive network traffic caused by GUI elements of the
autorouter.
- Fixed unusable confirm dialog in CAM processor; under special conditions
it could be blocked by the progress dialog.
- Fix for wrong display of mirrored texts in package previews.
- Fixed handling of vias if reselecting a differential pair for routing.
- If starting the autorouter, the TopRouter is now checking whether
the board is already routed completely.
- Made image export to TIFF format work again. There was a regression in V7.3.
- Restored V6 behavior for designs w/o hierarchy if combining or renaming
net segments, which could cause unnecessary ripups.
- Now 64 colors of all palettes are initialized.
- Correction of the number of available layers for 'Make Personal' edition
from 4 to 6.
- Keeping order of 'SET CONTEXT' commands if displaying the context menu.
- Avoiding a crash on Mac if closing a drawing window with Command(Apple)-W
immediately after loading a board and schematic pair and restoring the
minimized partner.
----------------
3.3.68 18nov15 Update copyright date.
Added named markers capability to From: and To: time value
input boxes.
Added support for fixed point binary numbers for both signed
and unsigned decimal display types.
Problems found with existing distfile for eagle:
distfiles/eagle-lin32-7.4.0.run
No changes made to eagle/distinfo file.
Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden). All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
---------------------
Release notes for EAGLE 7.4.0
=============================
* EAGLE Editions:
- CadSoft now provides an EAGLE "Make Pro" edition with capabilities similar to
Standard edition. In particular the board area is limited to 160x100mm, but
board width and height can be adjusted. The license is limited to one year
and an internet connection is required.
- There is also a new edition "Make Personal" available which was previously
called "EAGLE Hobbyist".
* COPY command:
- Beside device sets and packages the COPY command now can also copy symbols.
- If the library name is skipped in the command syntax the currently opened
library is taken as source (see help for details).
* Control Panel:
- Added entry 'COPY to library' to context menu for symbols.
- Support for Drag&Drop for symbols from Control Panel to Library Editor
and of all library object types to the overview (table of contents) mode of
the Library Editor.
* Library Editor:
- Addition of 'Duplicate' to context menu for symbols in the overview
(table of contents) mode.
- Added tool tips to the TOC view of the library editor window
containing the headlines of the respective descriptions.
* Help improvements:
- Added examples for CHANGE DLINE.
- Improved description of PORT regarding buses and of PACKAGE regarding 'name'.
- Added a section 'Special attributes' regarding the special role of
attribute 'VALUE'.
- Improved description of UL_PART.variants(); extended example for UL_VARIANT.
- Added explanation on top/bottom pairs of custom layers.
* Miscellaneous:
- Added a set of design rule files from Eurocircuits and Wuerth Electronic
to design rule folder.
- Added a new CAM job file gerb274x-mill-drill.cam for generating milling
output with Gerber and drill data output with Excellon in one action.
* Bugfixes:
- Ignoring a potentially given but superfluous extension in
COPY X.PAC@abc.lbr Y[.pac]; same for .dev.
- Fix for locale dependant problems when entering decimal numbers in unit fields.
- Changed misleading text in the Linux install script.
- Fixed handling of newly added empty global attributes.
- Fix for proper support of EAGLE 64 bit on MAC OS X 10.8.
- Fixed interpretation of scroll and zoom gestures from trackpads on MAC.
- Fix for 'Duplicate' in context menu for device sets and packages in the
library editor's overview mode when duplicating unsaved objects.
- Improved drawing performance for panning under Linux;
there was a regression after version 7.2.0.
- Fix for support of country specific decimal point (like ',') in command line
and scripts (after 7.2.0 only '.' worked).
- 'Duplicate' in context menu for library objects: restriction in the naming
dialog to allowed characters for object names.
- Fix for a crash in the autorouter when evaluation was done with invalid
job files.
- Fix for umlaut problem in installation text on MAC.
- The ROUTE command with Ctrl+Left can now also start routing at a pad;
this is important to start from a pad without airwire if the connect mode
is set to 'any'.
- Now the first selection point for DIMENSION is only snapped if coming from
a mouse click.
- Fixed update of thumbnails after removing a module.
- Fix for long printing times on Windows (there was a regression since V7.3).
- Fixed context menu handling for PACKAGE/TECHNOLOGY after clicking "Next"
in case of an ambiguous selection. The command was still referring to the
previous object.
- Fixed >LAST_DATE_TIME in CAM Processor output; it has been stuck at
'not saved' if during an EAGLE session a new drawing has been generated.
- Fixed displaying license data containing umlauts.
- Fix for EAGLE in commandline mode: it could happen that a given command
sequence (option -C) was executed in the wrong editor window.
- Fixed triggering the default button 'OK' by ENTER key in the CONNECT dialog;
if the focus was in a list, the list action was executed inadvertently.
- Fix for initially missing display of the 'Window' menu in MAC menubar.
- Correction of eagle.def concerning the output formats GERBER_RS274X_33MM
and EXCELLON_33MM (introduced in V7.2.1).
- Fix regarding continuation of an existing autorouter job after previous cancel.
- Added an initial check if the board was changed before continuation of an
existing autorouter job.
- Fix in DRC for undetected overlapping polygons in special cases.
- Fix for inaccessible minimized partner window if a schematic or board was
opened. This was a problem on several Linux distributions.
- Fix for undesired focus changes on MAC between EAGLE editor windows.
- Reactivated beep if clicking into the drawing area w/o causing
an actual selection (e.g. in ROUTE command).
- Fixed ERC messages for nets containing UTF-8 characters.
- Changed the polygon calculation within the CAM Processor to vector font,
because texts are always using vector font in the CAM Processor.
- Added a hint to use the default grid in schematics.
- Ignoring unjustified offset position if pasting a module.
- Ensuring unique naming if copying symbols.
- Fixed initial display of TOC in libraries if loaded within a project.
- Made ADD link in Control Panel for symbols work.
- Fixed annotation of deleting a module instance; deleting the respective
signals in the board completely if there is no port.
This is GDS2, a module for creating programs to read,
write, and manipulate GDS2 (GDSII) stream files.
GDS2 should be able to handle any size gdsii file but
I would consider it too slow for anything larger
than a few megabytes in size. If your files are are
closer to the gigabyte range please check out my
gdt programs at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gds2/
which you can use to open and process GDS2 files
as a pipe from Perl.
pselect6 syscall on NetBSD, leading to high CPU usage (busy polling)
- Also ensure QT_XKB_CONFIG_ROOT is set in the environment, otherwise
keyboard input might not work.
Bump PKGREVISION.
Changes since version 4 are much to numerous to list but include for
example a new autorouting tool, 64-bit support and usability improvements
in all subsystems such as editor, CAM processor and component library.
----------------
3.3.66 05jul15 Faster fsdb initialization.
Fix vcd recoder loader crash for malformed vcd if signal is
declared as bits and a real valued change is encountered for
the value change.
Fixed crash in vcd2vzt for vcd files with no value changes
(likely a malformed vcd).
Added fsdbReaderResetSignalList() to prevent signals from
loading over and over when unnecessary.
Compile fixes for renamed functions and defines in gtk osx.

3.0 2013-10-11
SimPy 3 has been completely rewritten from scratch. Our main goals were to simplify the API and code base as well as making SimPy more flexible and extensible. Some of the most important changes are:
Stronger focus on events. Processes yield event instances and are suspended until the event is triggered. An example for an event is a timeout (formerly known as hold), but even processes are now events, too (you can wait until a process terminates).
Events can be combined with & (and) and | (or) to create condition events.
Process can now be defined by any generator function. You don’t have to subclass Process anymore.
No more global simulation state. Every simulation stores its state in an environment which is comparable to the old Simulation class.
Improved resource system with newly added resource types.
Removed plotting and GUI capabilities. Pyside and matplotlib are much better with this.
Greatly improved test suite. Its cleaner, and the tests are shorter and more numerous.
Completely overhauled documentation.

Generation of POVRAY scene files.
Quick Overview:
GDS2, (or "Calma"), files contain 2D shape data, and each shape has
a specific layer number, (gdsno), and a datatype number. To make
any sort of 3D model, these two integer numbers must be "mapped"
to a corresponding thickness and depth parameter, and also to a
color specification. This is handled by the user-created
"layers.config" file. A layers.config file needs to be made for
each technology you wish to convert. A process which differs only
in the number of metal layers used is considered a different
technology. The layers.config file is also used in the generation
of postscript and HPGL output, so several of the parameters in
a layers.config file do not necessarily apply to POVRAY output.

* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.
DIY Layout Creator (DIYLC in short) lets the user draw electronic schematics
and board/chassis layouts quickly and without a steep learning curve.
It's particularly useful for breadboard or stripboard-style layouts, where
the board is inflexible and discrete components have variable leg lengths.
behaves incorrectly on many platforms (E.g. NetBSD)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/geda/+bug/1319785
Fixes build on Linux, corrects icon file names on NetBSD and others.
Bump PKGREVISION.
Discussed with dmcmahill@ - but as we're both right-thinking people that
understand that desktop icons are for pussies, strictly speaking this
has been build-tested and brain-tested only.

crashes with read only files.
Updated man page for gtkwave.1 indicating that XID is in hex.
Allow decimal conversions on popcnt filtered vectors that are
greater than 64 bits (they will never overflow).
Notable changes in gEDA/gaf 1.8.2
=================================
Bugfix release.
* [994361] Fixed a libgeda crash bug involving nets inside symbols.
* [1226246] Fixed a gnetlist data corruption bug when using refdes
containing the string "POWER".
* Updates to build system to allow compilation from git on systems
with Automake >= 1.13.0.
Notable changes in gEDA/gaf 1.8.1
=================================
Bugfix release with correct dynamic version information for libgeda.
Notable changes in gEDA/gaf 1.8.0
=================================
* `gschem' and `gnetlist' have updated and rewritten user guides.
* All tools now give more informative error messages if they are
unable to load schematic or symbol files due to syntax errors.
* All tools now correctly handle schematic and symbol files with `\r',
`\n', or `\r\n` line endings, or a mixture.
* Unconnected pin ends and net ends are now all drawn with the same
box marker in `gschem' and printed output.
* Net segments with at least two connections (including indirect
connections via `netname=' attributes) are now drawn with arrowheads
rather than box markers on dangling ends in `gschem' and printed
output.
Notable changes in gEDA/gaf 1.7.2
=================================
* `geda-gaf' now requires GTK+ 2.16.0 or later.
* A greatly expanded Scheme API has been added to gEDA/gaf for use by
extension authors. See the `geda-scheme' Info manual for more
details. Existing extensions may need to be modified to load the
`(geda deprecated)' or `(gschem deprecated)' modules.
* The `component-library-search' function for `gafrc' files now skips
directories without symbols, and searches for libraries recursively.
* `gschem' keybinding improvements:
- Keybindings are now unaffected by Caps Lock.
- Keystrokes are displayed using the same characters as on keycaps
(e.g. `:' instead of `colon').
- Keystrokes may use extended modifiers (Super, Hyper and Meta).
- Key bindings can be modified in any rc file or interactively using
the `global-set-key' function. See notes in `system-gschemrc' for
examples.
* `gschem' now displays help files and component documentation on all
platforms, including Windows. The `locate' tool is no longer used
to search for component documentation files.
* The `schdiff' tool for generating visual diffs of schematics and
symbols has been added. It can be used with most version control
systems. See `man schdiff' for more details.
* The `bom' and `bom2' backends to `gnetlist' now give error messages
if no attribute file can be found. The `-O attrib_file=FILE' and
`-O attribs=ATTRIB,ATTRIB...' options have also been added.
* A new `ewnet' backend has been added to `gnetlist'. This outputs
netlists for use with the National Instruments ULTIboard layout
tool.
* The `verilog' backend to `gnetlist' now supports concatenated net
naming like "{a,b,c[3:0]}".
* `gsch2pcb' no longer supports the `m4_command' parameter in project
files.
* The `--m4-pcbdir' and `--m4-file' arguments to `gsch2pcb' now work
again.
* `gsymfix.pl' has been renamed to `gsymfix'.
* Man pages are now available for all programs installed as part of
gEDA/gaf.
* The undocumented programs `gnet_hier_verilog', `gsymupdate', `gschupdate'
and `sch2eaglepos.sh' are no longer installed to ${prefix}/bin.
Notable changes in gEDA/gaf 1.7.1
=================================
* gEDA is now compatible with Guile 2.0.
* gEDA/gaf applications no longer complain when trying to load an rc
file twice, or when an rc file doesn't exist.
* `gschem' allows objects to be moved by dragging without having to
select them first.
* `gschem' now supports keybindings with more than one modifier key,
and "Deselect" is bound to <Control Shift A> by default.
* `gnetlist' correctly handles multiple renames of the same net. This
resolves some long-standing bugs with multipage schematics.
* The `spice-sdb' backend for `gnetlist' now has built-in support for
`SUBCKT_NMOS' and `SUBCKT_PMOS' devices.
* A new `makedepend' backend has been added to `gnetlist'. It
generates Makefile code for SPICE simulation dependencies.
* Visibility of embedded component attributes are now preserved by
`gattrib'.
* `gsch2pcb' correctly handles footprint names with hyphens (`-').
* `gsch2pcb' project files support quoting and escaping in
`schematics' entries.
* Considerable enhancements to Unicode support when printing
schematics or exporting PostScript.
Notable changes in gEDA/gaf 1.7.0
=================================
* All gEDA/gaf applications now handle configuration files much more
strictly, and provide much more useful feedback when an error
occurs.
* Several changes to `gschem' command-line options:
- The `-t' option is no longer supported.
- Several command-line options now support a long-form alternative.
- The `-s' option can now be used to run multiple Scheme scripts
during `gschem' startup.
- A new `-c' option is available, which runs a Scheme expression
during `gschem' startup.
- A new `-L' option is available, which adds a directory to the
Scheme load path.
- A new `-V' or `--version' option is available, which displays
version information.
* `gschem' now provides a "Select All" function, which is bound to
<Control a> by default, along with a corresponding "Deselect"
function.
* In the `gschem' "Add component" dialog, filtering the component
library will expand matching libraries. If the filter is cancelled,
all libraries are collapsed. Components can now be selected by
double-clicking on them in the component list.
* The `gschem' "Edit Text Properties" dialog now has an easier to use
"Alignment" menu.
* Printed text size now better matches on-screen text size in
`gschem'.
* Special characters, including commas, are now escaped or quoted
appropriately in `gattrib' CSV output.
* Several changes to `gnetlist' command-line options:
- Four command-line options specific to the `spice-sdb' backend have
been removed. They can be replaced with `-O <option>' according
to the following table:
-e, --embedd -O embedd_mode
-I, --include -O include_mode
-n, --nomunge -O nomunge_mode
-s, --sort -O sort_mode
- The list of available backends is now obtained using a new
`--list-backends' option. `-g help' no longer outputs a list of
backends.
- A new `-L' option is available, which adds a directory to the
Scheme load path.
- A new `-V' or `--version' option is available, which displays
version information.
- When run with invalid command-line arguments, `gnetlist' now exits
with non-zero exit status.
* Several `gnetlist' backends have now been fixed so that it should no
longer be necessary to set an expanded Guile stack in gEDA's config
files.
* The `spice-sdb' backend for `gnetlist' now supports probes
(`TESTPOINT' devices).
* The undocumented `mk_verilog_syms' program is no longer installed.
The symbols it creates are still installed to
`${prefix}/share/gEDA/sym/verilog'.

Kicad is a set of four softwares and a project manager:
* Eeschema: Schematic entry.
* Pcbnew: Board editor.
* Gerbview: GERBER viewer (photoplotter documents).
* Cvpcb: footprint selector for components used in the circuit design.
* Kicad: project manager.
This package contains the libraries for Kicad
Sources are available only from bzr (no release) so I made a snapshot
of the source tree and put it on a http server.
This package is based on the package in wip by jonathan.gabris@gmail.com

-----------------------
3.3.54 02jan14 Added LZ4 double compression on hierarchy tree for FST when
hierarchy size exceeds 4MB.
Fix to regular expression filtering when +I+ form expressions
are encountered in the SST. Previously, the wrong value of
regex match was used on 32-bit architectures due to the
stack layout.
Removed --disable-inline-asm ./configure flag as inline
assembly has been removed because it is generating incorrectly
in some cases on x86_64.
3.3.55 06feb14 Fixed problem with FST_DYNAMIC_ALIAS_DISABLE enabled when
Judy arrays are not present.
FST writer performance tweaks for traces with millions of
signal declarations.
Keep FSDB_VT_STREAM (FSDB transaction type) traces from
attempting to be read (for now) as they aren't yet processed.
Added more space efficient FST dynamic alias encoding.
Tempfile creation fix for Windows. Using tmpnam() is not
enough and fails depending on user permissions.
Make vcd2fst use FastLZ instead of LZ4 as a default compression
type if an EVCD file is being processed as it (re-)compresses
much better. Using -4/-F/-Z still gives expected results.
Changed double printf formatting for FSDB to "%.16g" to match
VCD formatting.
Added very fast I/O write capability to fst2vcd.
Added support for FSDB_BYTES_PER_BIT_2B (EVCD) in FSDB loader.
Added experimental fsdb2vcd in contrib. It is not currently
compiled or used.
Fix to treesearch to remove duplicate signal names because of
faulty dumpers.
Repscript fix for if -R starts without a dumpfile name.
3.3.56 12feb14 Added another crash fix patch for GTK-OSX.
Fix to regex search to remove duplicate signal names because of
faulty dumpers.
Fix to configure.ac for MSYS not adding -lcomdlg32 when Tcl
is disabled.
Valgrind fix on deallocated context: old GLOBALS pointer could
be examined in set_GLOBALS_x().
Minor cleanup in treesearch_gtk2.c: removed redundant show
widget invocation.
Added missing compressBound() for compress2() dest mallocs.
3.3.57 13feb14 Fix for Electric Fence crash in vlist_freeze().
Updated LZ4 for version r113.

Icarus Verilog 0.9.7 is Available (August 26th, 2013)
-----------------------------
The developers are pleased to announce the next stable release in
the 0.9 series, version 0.9.7. Icarus Verilog is a mostly complete
implementation of the hardware description language Verilog, as
described in IEEE Std 1364-2005. It also includes a number of user
requested extensions. It is freely available (open source), is
supported on most operating systems, and will be available as a
precompiled package for many of these systems.
Icarus Verilog 0.9.7 is primarily a bug fix release. Therefore, we
recommend people using the 0.9.6 or earlier releases upgrade to 0.9.7
as soon as possible. Version 0.9.7 is the recommended version for all
new users.
More details, including known limitations, deviation from IEEE Std
1364-2005, where to obtain the source code, and links to some of the
precompiled packages can be found in the Release Notes located here:
<http://iverilog.wikia.com/wiki/Release_Notes_Icarus_Verilog_0_9_7>
(pkgsrc)
0.9.4 to 0.9.7 update and
two patches are added for DESTDIR and 'mkdir: dep: Not a directory' problem.
GHDL is an open-source simulator for the VHDL language. GHDL allows
you to compile and execute your VHDL code directly in your PC.
Combined with a GUI-based wave viewer and a good VHDL text editor,
GHDL is a very powerful tool for writing, testing and simulating
your VHDL code.
are replaced with .include "../../devel/readline/buildlink3.mk", and
USE_GNU_READLINE are removed,
* .include "../../devel/readline/buildlink3.mk" without USE_GNU_READLINE
are replaced with .include "../../mk/readline.buildlink3.mk".
to address issues with NetBSD-6(and earlier)'s fontconfig not being
new enough for pango.
While doing that, also bump freetype2 dependency to current pkgsrc
version.
Suggested by tron in PR 47882
Dinotrace is now distributed under GPL v3 (previously GPL 2).
Fix signal radix being lost when trace is reread.
Fix core dump when verilog trace has single timestamp.
Fix core dump when no hostname in /etc/hosts.
Fix message trashing stack and make cppcheck clean.
a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or
b) have a directory name of p5-*, or
c) have any dependency on any p5-* package
Like last time, where this caused no complaints.
- remove LIBXAW variable. It is handled by buildlink3.mk now
- simplify patches and Makefile in packages using libXaw
- in some cases force use of Xaw3d (won't build with Xaw)
- replace some directly included of x11/Xaw3d with mk/xaw.buildlink3.mk
In next part:
- replace more includes with mk/xaw.buildlink3.mk
On DragonFly, the path for bison and lex were set to /usr/local/bin/bison
and /usr/local/bin/flex. These were basically hardcoded. The added
patches set the paths to "bison" and "flex" which pick up the
${WRKDIR}/.tools/bin/ and ${PREFIX}/bin versions instead.
flex was removed from USE_TOOLS because the pkgsrc FlexLexer.h can build
openscad and the one that comes with DragonFly can't. It was replaced
with the flex buildlink3 and it should work everywhere.
It seems like the document tarball is extracted twice, once into the
work directory and then again directly into the destdir. To prevent the
cat pages from installing, the man directory was removed after the
second extraction.
At the same time, the hardcoded variations of "lc2.10" were replaced by
a variable to ease future upgrades.
Remove devel/py-ctypes (only needed by and supporting python24).
Remove PYTHON_VERSIONS_ACCEPTED and PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE
lines that just mirror defaults now.
Miscellaneous cleanup while editing all these files.
