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.
additions/changes since gerbv-0.15:
* projects: you can save and load setups in what I call projects.
* GTK+ 2 support
* Now you can invert a layer by the push of button. Basically.
* When gerber files were defined with omit trailing zeros, gerbv could
parse them very bad. Now it should work better.
* Aperture macros did not handle exposures at all. Now they do a better
work. Some thermals are defined from their CAD program as a sequence of
aperture macros instead of just using aperture macro 7. They are drawn
better now.
* Handles tool tables when drawing drill files thanks to Dimitri. See man
page for more info.
-- Release 0.15 --
2003-10-06 Stefan Petersen <spe@stacken.kth.se>
* src/draw_amacro.c: Drawing of aperture macro primitive 7 was
severly broken. Revealed by Drew Moore who sent an example
along. Thanks Drew! Closes bug #818307.
2003-09-28 Stefan Petersen <spe@stacken.kth.se>
* src/gerber.c: Patch from Peter Brueckner. Some Gerbers don't
have G04 but just G4. Peters patch fixes that for G- and M-codes.
2003-09-08 Stefan Petersen <spe@stacken.kth.se>
* src/gerber.c: Patch from Simon Munton to fix a problem with polygons
sometimes not being filled properly. Closes bug #800928 (which
he promptly had submitted).
* src/gerber.c: Another patch from Simon. This time it fixes
circular polygon outlines by with a number of short segments.
Closes bug #603183, which was almost a year old. Thanks Simon!
Changes since 0.13:
* Removal of the last inclusions of malloc.h after tips
from Charles Lepple.
* Some patch that fixed a problem for Larry Doolittle
* Error messages when running RS274D instead of
"crash-and-burn" (ie segfault).
* You cannot compile with backend anymore, switch is removed. In last
release this caused compilation error due to bit rot.
* Drawing of arcs is a constant headache. Mark Whitis found another
case that I had missed out. Clockwise arcs all of a sudden started
to be drawn as counter-clockwise.
* Arcs with very small angle differences could either be a complete
circle or a very small part of an arc. Calculating the angles with
integers wasn't sufficient, anyhow. They are now doubles all the way.
* Aperture macro primitive 1 was a _filled_ circle.
* Image rotate used to cause warnings that it wasn't implemented. Now
if the file has an image rotate on zero degrees there is no warning
(yes I've seen it).
* Dan McMahill discovered that if you tried to swap with an unused layer
gerbv segfaulted.
* Peter Monta submitted patch for incremental coordinates.
* No traces of Guile left...
Changes since last version:
* fixed bug which caused huge memory usage and crashing when zooming way
in to a layout
* Two bugs in aperture macros fixed; one caused "multi macro" macros not
to work properly and the other was related to primitive 20.
* The Debian build system discovered that I checked if unsigned were -1.
* Some cleanup/speedup when parsing Gerber by removing nested strncmp's
with a switch/case.
* RS274D caused segfault.
* If %SR%, %SF% and %AS% are defined to their default values the compiler
doesn't complain anymore. I still don't handle them if they are non
default values.
* In some strange corner case we managed to sometimes get spurious lines
showing up on the image.
* Strange drill files from Orcad386 handled better (we all know what Pitch
thinks about Orcad:-) ).
* Dino Ghilardi has contributed some code to be able to set the scale
explicitly. That can be used when printing PNG's generated by gerbv.
He has also written a text on how to actually get them out on the printer.
It is in doc/PNG-print/PNGPrintMiniHowto.txt.
* Round off when converting from inches to pixels changed so poured areas
built up by several lines now seems to fill. Before the change you could,
at certain zoom levels, see gaps that wasn't there.
Yet another bunch of bugs in different corner cases of Gerber files
has been fixed. Many fixes in polygon area fill, some fixes in calculating
circles, a statically allocated array caused strange stray segfaults when
drawing aperture macros.
A bunch of new command line switches. Most important are:
* --display: use as in all other X-programs, ie open window from a remote
computer.
* --geometry: Sets the geometry. Usually gerbv guess the resolution of
your window and sets the window size accordingly. If you for instance
have a bigger virtual window than actual screen the window can get quite
big. With this switch you can override with for example --geometry=400x300
Fixes in drill file parser. Many drill files don't have drill sizes in them,
else perfectly valid files. Pitch fix makes gerbv parse drill files even
though they don't have drill sizes defined, but under protest.
Greatest fix of them all. Super imposing. Handles paint-scratch-paint
more proper. Changed dramatically how different layers are drawn "on
top of each other".
bug fixes: A couple of apertures drawn wrong has been fixed, like
lines with square apertures and rotation of aperture macro primitive 4.
new features: Zoom outline and the measurement tools. You can also export
the image as PNG,
Graphical quirks fixed are:
- zooming around the mouse pointer.
- zooming several steps at once goes much faster. No calculation and
redrawing in each zoom step, but in the last step.
When you click with the left mouse button on a layer button you
get a popup menu with color selection, load file and unload file.
That is on a "per layer-basis". The "global" "Open File..." menu is
removed in favor for this.
changes since 0.0.5:
- Turn on and off explicit layers.
- Color on button reflect color on layer.
- Automatic detection of drill- or gerber file.
- Tooltips over buttons to reflect loaded filename.
- Handles Polygon Area Fill
- Major rehacking of file IO and pan code to significantly
increase speed.
- Autoscaling. Loaded gerber files are automagically scaled and
panned to fit in window. Also possible to do with loaded files
with Zoom/Fit meny option.
- configure.in enhancement to support package building in Red Hat.
Thanks to Wojciech Kazubski for patch.
- bzero changed to memset, which hopefully is more POSIX (for portability).
- Loads of bugs squashed and hopefully fewer added.
Gerber Viewer (gerbv) is a viewer for Gerber files. Gerber files
are generated from PCB CAD system and sent to PCB manufacturers
as basis for the manufacturing process.
The different layers of the PCB are separated into different files.
gerbv can load all files at the same time, though it can not show
them at the same time. You have to browse through the different layers
with the radio buttons on the right side.
