Release Notes for PCB snapshot 20050609
========================================================================
- **** The GUI is now based on gtk2 instead of Xaw **** This represents
a fairly major change. You will now need gtk-2.4 or higher installed
along with any of its dependencies to build pcb. On linux
distributions, it is probably the case that you already have this.
For *BSD, Solaris, and others, you may want to use NetBSD's pkgsrc
to help install gtk2 and its dependencies.
- Flags are stored symbolically in the .pcb file. This is the start
of moving to support >8 layers. Please note that >8 layer support
is not yet available in this snapshot.
- Fixes for gcc-4
- As part of the switch to gtk2, the user customizable menu feature has
been temporarily broken. Hopefully this will be fixed by the next
snapshot. In addition, the loading of background images has also been
temporarily broken.
Changes:
- Added variable "error_str", which is set to the last error message
when SILENT is defined.
- Improvement in giving reason when solving fails.
- The HTML docs were fixed.
