This represents many many improvements and bug fixes. A few items to
note are that the attributes used by the symbol library have been
greately cleaned up and unified. You may want to run gsymupdate and gschemupdate
if migrating from older versions of the tools.
files. In addition sinclude the files 'site-config.inc',
'user-config.inc', and 'proj-config.inc' to allow for per-site, per-user,
and per-project configuration instead of only per-site configuration.

Add a new USE_LIBTOOL definition that uses the libtool package instead of

Changes include:
* New dialog boxes by Matt Ettus:
- A much improved attribute edit dialog box
- A multiple attribute edit dialog box
* Improved Hierarchy Support:
- Hierarchy/Down Schematic
- Hierarchy/Down Symbol
- Hierarchy/Up
* Text alignment.
* Attributes are now required to have no spaces besides
the equals sign on each side. This shouldn't cause
any problems for anybody.
* Bunch of updates to the various gnetlist backends
(basically all submitted changes have been integrated).
Integration of JM Routoure's PCB backend work (Thanks!).
Bug fixes and improvements by Matt Ettus, Stefan
Petersen and Bas Gieltjes.
* Added a bunch of contributed symbols. Thanks to
all that have contributed! There are now 566 symbols
in the library.
* Documentation. There are the beginnings of docs now.
Here's the current list:
attributes.txt -- Master attribute list
fileformats.html -- gEDA file formats
gschem.txt -- The start of a serious user's
guide keymapping.html -- Stefan's keymapping
document netattrib.txt -- A HOWTO on the net=
attribute symbols.html -- The ever useful symbol
creation guide
* Bug fixes and improvements to some of the utils.
* Lots and lots of bug fixes (and bug introductions).
