Release Notes for gerbv-2.3.0
========================================================================
The following is a summary of the changes which went into gerbv-2.3.0.
For a complete list of changes, refer to ChangeLog.
- gerbv: fixed a minor arc rendering bug in fast mode
- gerbv: Make the svg/pdf/ps export use a 1:1 scale instead of
scaling to fit the page.
- configure: Always require cairo now since we make use of some of
the transformation functions even when using gdk rendering.
- gerbv: Fix a bug in the vertical scrollbar calculations.
- libgerbv: Fix a bug where apertures < 10 were potentially ignored in
some drill files
- gerbv: Fix clipping bug when viewing files with image offsets
- gerbv: Fix a bug whereclicking on the message tab caused the keyboard
accelerators stop working
- gerbv: Use a reasonable return code when doing command line processing.
- libgerbv: Improve the macro parser.
- libgerbv: Allow 0 degree rotation
- libgerbv: Fix some drill parser bugs
- libgerbv: Support the Excellon "R" (repeat) command
- testsuite: Add some tests for drill files
- libgerbv: Fix a bug in the Excellon export which sometimes dropped the first
element.
- libgerbv: Fix some additional Excellon export bugs.
- gerbv: Add the ability to rotate/translate layers
- libgerbv: Fix the pkgconfig file to include some needed dependencies.
This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.
Release Notes for Icarus Verilog 0.8.7
none (but see below for other releases since the last version in pkgsrc)
Release Notes for Icarus Verilog 0.8.6
This is a bug fix update of the 0.8 stable version of Icarus
Verilog. The v0.8 series tries to remain as stable as possible while
still fixing bugs that are safe to fix.
Preprocessor:
* Fix parse/preprocess of C-style comments in surpressed ifdef
blocks.
* Support leading underscore in preprocessor names.
Compilation/elaboration issues:
* Support min:typ:max expressions in more places.
* Fix handling of @* non-input nets.
* Do not support system functions in continuous assignments.
* Do not support converting vectors to real.
* Do not support constant real valued expressions.
Run-time ussues:
* Fix comparison of negative numbers that happen to be equal.
* Fix bad execution of certain expressions caused by code generator
bad lookaside handling.
* Proper error message for invalid bit selects.
* Implement $printtimescale system task.
Compiler build issues:
* Compile OK evel if libbzip2 is not installed, but do not support
LXT2 in that case.
Release Notes for Icarus Verilog 0.8.5
This is mostly a bug-fix release for the 0.8 stable branch.
* Fix assertions from unary operators with certain operand widths.
* Fix incorrect comparison results when in certain cases comparing two
signed negative integers.
* Latch synthesis has been added to the core synthesizer
* Add nand gate support to the edif code generator
* Minor compile time errors/warnings
* Improved messages from the configure script
Release Notes for Icarus Verilog 0.8.4
This is a bug-fix release for the 0.8 stable branch. The 0.8 stable
branch updates do not include significant new features (they go into
the devel branch instead) nor fixes that are deemed to drastic to
include in a stable tool.
- Various source code portability problems have been fixed. The 0.8 no
longer compiles on many modern systems.
- Various bug reports have been put to rest with this release. Some
parser errors have been fixed (including a few regressions from
0.8.3) and a few new syntaxes added.
- A variety of systhesis bug fixes and enhancements are included in
0.8.4. Currently, synthesis is only actively supported in the 0.8
branch, and the 0.8.4 is the most complete.

Release Notes for gerbv-2.2.0
========================================================================
The following is a summary off the changes which went into gerbv-2.2.0.
For a complete list of changes, refer to ChangeLog.
- libgerbv: fixed a bug in the min/max calculation.
- libgerbv: improved the ability to parse drill files with
user specified formats.
- libgerbv: Compile with -no-undefined to make it easier to build
windows DLL's.
- configure: Improve detection of tools when cross-compiling.
- libgerbv: Improved example programs.
- gerbv: Changed desktop categories to be more consistent with
the rest of gEDA.
- common: Fixed compilation with SunPRO compilers
- libgerbv: Fixed calculation of pick and place bounding box
- gerbv: Added a rendering benchmark
- gerbv: Various rendering speed improvements
- common: Made an install be relocatable. This is always needed
for proper win32 operation and helps in some cases
on other operating systems. As part of this, improve
how init.scm is located at startup.
- gerbv: Improved the project file load/save dialog.

Release Notes for PCB snapshot 20081128
========================================================================
This release represents over 70 commits and as such this summary
clearly is not complete. See the ChangeLog file for the complete list
of changes.
- Minor bug fixes in RS274-X output.
- Bug fixes in postscript output
- DRC checks for annular ring on pads only uses the mininum annular ring
drc setting instead of also checking minimum copper width.
- Fix postscript output for zero length lines.
- Improve the 'save before closing' dialogs.
- Fixed bugs where objects attached to the cursor vanish sometimes.
- Various minor code portability improvements.
- Enabled additional gcc warnings (when using gcc)
- Allow outline layers to have only arcs.
- Added "Ben Mode" png output which provides a simulated "photograph"
of the board. Very nice for publications.
- Fix poly clearance around rotated pads.
- Fix the batch HID which had bit rotted a little.
- Display net names hierarchically.
- Various speed improvements in the GTK HID.
- Various speed improvements in the autorouter.
- Minor improvements to the windows port.
- Other various bug fixes.
Don't call pkg_info to get the installed Emacs version; always use the
version matching EMACS_TYPE set by users. Be DEPENDS to it. This should
address pkg/37146 by Aleksey Cheusov.
While here convert some emacs lisp packages to user-destdir.
* Added ability to select objects, with the option of deleting or viewing
basic properties of the objects
* Split off the core functionality of gerbv into a library (libgerbv) to
allow developers to quickly write software using Gerber
parsing/editing/exporting/rendering functionality. Full DOxygen
documentation has also been created to facilitate developers wishing to use
libgerbv.
* Added export to RS274X and Excellon functionality, allowing gerbv to
translate files between formats. The RS274X export function can also be
used to "clean" troublesome files to a more compatible format.
* Added the ability to override the Excellon format "guessing", allowing
non-standard drill files to be correctly rendered
* Greatly expanded the command line functionality, including the ability to
panelize boards into a single one through the command line
* Added "Aperture usage" tab to Gerber reports. This allows the user to
see how often each aperture is used in all visible layers of his project.
Several notable bugs were squished in release 2.1.0:
* Fixed bug when exporting several layers to SVG/PDF/PS, which caused
corrupted output and/or crashes
* Fixed several Windows-only problems related to parsing and rendering
* Fixed rendering bug when using polygon objects within step and repeat
blocks
* Improved RS-274X export output format to work with certain Gerber viewing
software
patches to add it). Drop pax from the default USE_TOOLS list.
Make bsdtar the default for those places that wanted gtar to extract
long links etc, as bsdtar can be built of the tree.
- assume that Python 2.4 and 2.5 are compatible and allow checking for
fallout.
- remove PYTHON_VERSIONS_COMPATIBLE that are obsoleted by the 2.3+
default. Modify the others to deal with the removals.
Also, do not install calcCAP or calcRL. These two tools seem to give
results of questionable accuracy (see the sourceforge bug tracker
for the upstream sources) and also don't build with gcc-4 anyway.
Bump pkgrevision.
