XXX: the other crafty-book-* packages should be updated to use the
currently available distfiles, but for these we at least have
distfile copies on ftp.netbsd.org.

Placed in the public domain in October, 2001
changes to the buildlink3 framework. The changes ensure that
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES orders packages so that for any element in the
list, the packages to the right do not depend on any packages to the
left of that element.
This is a bugfix-release. It should be compatible with bones files
and savegames all the way back to 3.4.0 (but of course it's safer
to ascend before upgrade).
Assorted fixes (full list in doc/fixes34.3):
* Correct several inconsistencies
* Correct a potentially fatal bug caused by dropping loadstones
* Handle level completely filled with monsters better
* X11 player selection fixes, one of which could be fatal
* Eliminated a gold-in-shop-container cheat
features:
* Rich set of number classes
* Elementary, logical, transcendental functions
* C++ as implementation language brings efficiency, type safety,
and algebraic syntax
* Memory efficiency
* Speed efficiency
* Interoperability
Release notes for the gEDA/gaf 20040111 snapshot
Changes
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
General / Summary
* Lots of changes in most areas. This release contains the largest amount of changes in quite a while.
Expect bugs, crashes, and general instability. If you tell me about them, I might be able to fix them.
* Probably the biggest set of changes were the addition of multi-line text support. The bulk of the work was
done by Carlos. The text add dialog box and the multi attribute add/change dialog box both support the
adding and editing of multi line text items, however, I am going to change these dialog boxes in a
subsequent release to be a little like the old behavior, but still support multi-line text support. Full
multi-line text support requires that you use gtk+ 2.2.x.
* Also part of the above changes was to get rid of some fixed sized buffers within libgeda and gschem.
Hopefully I have hashed out all the bugs in these changes, but I wouldn't be surprised if I missed
something. Please report all crashes. Thanks.
* Changed the file format a little. Changed the way sch/sym files are versioned and added a field to the
text item to support the multi-line text feature addition. I recommend everybody run gsymupdate and
gschupdate (and verify the resulting files!) to get rid of the log warning message. gEDA/gaf will always
write the new file format for all saved schematic/symbols.
* The v flag (the version of the sym/sch file), in the past, was keyed off of a version date, such as
20030901. Starting with 20040111, I am no longer using this date as the version of the sch/sym file, but
rather I added a new field (number) which is the file format version. The new version line looks like:
v 20040111 1
This is nice that I don't have to update all the symbols, schematics, etc... to get rid of a log warning
message. The current version of the file format is 1. All past files are versioned as 0. As an experiment,
I left all the symbol files at v 20031231 1 and nobody should care/notice. I am planning more changes to
the file format in subsequent releases and this version field will make changing it easier.
* The text object has an additional field which is the number of lines (N) the text item contains. The text
item is then followed by N number of lines of text. Example:
T 48400 59900 9 10 1 0 0 0 3
Line1
Line2
Line3
* The component libraries:
vhdl, verilog, new asic, and the new gnetman
are commented OUT in the system-commonrc file. I did this because there are significant symbol name
clashes between these libraries. If you want to use one of these libraries, please place the appropriate
(component-library "...") string in some rc file. This commenting out is temporary, till I fix the
component name clashing bug (jitterbug#9).
* The component-library-search keyword in the system-commonrc file was commented out. If a directory is
specified for the component-library-search keyword, then libgeda/gschem/gnetlist will automatically find
any directories in the specified directory and add them to the component search path. By having this
keyword in place, this would have undone the above commenting out.
If gschem/gnetlist cannot find your custom component libraries after upgrading to 20040111, then either
comment in the component-library-search keyword back into the system-commonrc file or explicitly add the
custom component libraries to an rc file. The latter action is prefered.
This info was added on 02/08/2004.
* Upgraded all packages to use gettext (GNU gettext) 0.12.1. I don't think that anybody who downloads the
source tarballs will need this particular version, but you will certainly need it if you build the CVS
version.
* Partially applied Carlos' UTF-8 patch for gtk+ 2.2.x. I couldn't test the complete patch, so I will keep
working on this. Moving libgeda to use UTF-8 internally is going to be a bit of work, but the sooner it
happens, the better.
* The gEDA Suite setup program has been improved considerably. It now supports the download of the tarballs
automatically using wget. All you need to get from the gEDA website is the toplevel Makefile and type:
make xinstall and the setup program will do the rest. See below in the build section for more information
on using xinstall. Please report any problems with gEDA Suite setup so it can be further improved.
* Much more documentation that gets installed now (almost all of it). I included Bill Wilson's gsch2pcb
tutorial and Russ Dill's tragesym tutorial. I also am installing all READMEs, so please see the
gedadocs.html file for almost all available documentation on gEDA/gaf. You can access this file via
Help/Manual... in gschem (make sure you have a web browser installed).
libgeda
* Shared library version number now at 20.
* In 20030901, libgeda was accidentally being built without optimization. Fixed in this version.
* Applied Carlos Nieves Onega's multi-line text patch. See below in the gschem for more info. This patch
changed and fixed a lot of things in libgeda, so expect some instability.
* Applied a few more patches by Carlos to perfect the multi-line text support in libgeda (mainly dealing
with support for tabs in multi-line text items).
* Added postscript output for mutli-line text items. This support is really new and not 100% perfect. Expect
some problems here, mainly when you start rotating and changing the alignment of many line text items.
Putting tabs into the text strings is not yet supported.
* Fixed a really nasty bug in o_attrib_get_name_value() which was caused by g_strsplit() not behaving the
same between glib 1.2.x and glib 2.2.x. Be careful when using g_strsplit, especially if you use both
versions of glib. Bug caught by Stuart.
gschem
* Added the --with-stroke command line to specify where ./configure can find the libstroke files.
* Changed the behavior of the print dialog box to close when the user presses the Print button.
* Added the ability to generate PNGs from the command line. Look at gschem/scripts/image.scm for the scheme
script. Command line looks like: gschem -o test.png -s image.scm filename.sch
* Added a schem rc keyword: image-size which lets you set the size of the PNG image generated using the
above guile script.
* Applied Carlos Nieves Onega's multi-line text patch. This patch adds multi-line text support to
gschem/libgeda. This patch made some very deep changes to internals which haven't changed in years, so
expect some instability. Multi-line text is properly supported only when using gtk+ 2.2.x. You will be
able to load schematics and edit multi-line text (in a limited fashion) if you use gtk+ 1.2.x
* Part of the above patch was the removal of a bunch of fixed sized buffers. Hopefully Carlos and I have
fixed all issues surrounding these changes, but expect some instability here as well as we work out the
kinks.
* Applied a patch by Carlos to highlight the proper alignment value in the pull down menu in the Edit
Text... dialog box.
* Fixed the visual alignment of the menu items and hotkeys when using gtk+ 2.2.x.
* Improved the appearance of a few of the dialog box, by mainly adding whitespace. A few dialog box got a
few more touch ups, but nothing too drastic.
* Applied a patch by Carlos to add multi-line attribute editing to the multi attribute dialog box. The
changes for this are not complete and will change in the next release.
* Updated the pt_BR.po with Antonio's UTF-8 version.
* Applied Stuart's multi-select open patch. Now you can select multiple schematics to open using the
File/Open... dialog box. Hold down the shift or control key as you click on filenames.
* Part of Carlos' multi-line text patch was to change the quick rendering of text from a line to a
rectangle. Refined and refactored this code a little to properly display attributes.
* Fixed a long standing bug in the File/Open... and File/Close... mechanisms when dealing with multiple
windows. Bug identified by Karel Kulhav.
* Fixed a long standing bug in the preview window (for schematics and components) where there would be
garbage data in the bottom of the window. The bug only manifested itself under very specific conditions
and only when using gtk+ 1.2.x. I'm quite surprised nobody else complained about it (or rather recently).
* Applied a patch by Carlos to support the new Spanish characters.
* Fixed the invalid scrollbars on startup bug.
* Updated the man page a little bit. Added code to the build mechanism to generate an html version of the
man page, which is installed into the documentation directory.
* Bunch of other improvements and bug fixes.
gnetlist
* Upgraded Bill Wilson's gsch2pcb gnetlist backend to the latest (1.4)
* Applied all of Carlos' DRC2 patches.
* Applied all of Stuart's spice-sdb patches. The included spice-sdb backend should be Stuart's absolute
latest version. A bunch of improvements to various parts of gnetlist were included in these patches.
* Applied of Stuart's patch to the partlist backends.
* Updated the man page a little bit. Added code to the build mechanism to generate an html version of the
man page, which is installed into the documentation directory.
* Added the scheme rc keyword: unnamed-netname which lets you control what the unnamed nets should be
called.
* Add the necessary rules to the Makefiles to install all the backend READMEs into the documentation
directory.
* Applied a patch by Christopher K Eveland to fix a condition where gschem2pcb was picking up a pin when it
should not. If somebody could test gschem2pcb on an existing project and make sure it still works as
expect, it would be greatly appreciated.
* Added the Racal Redac format backend by W. Kazubski.
* Added the new RF Cascade and futurenet2 backends by Dan McMahill.
* Applied a bunch of patches by Dan for doing net aliasing/renaming. These patches touched the C files as
well as various backends.
* Applied a few more patches by Dan to fix some m4 quoting issues with the PCB backends.
* Bunch of other minor bug fixes.
gsymcheck
* No significant changes (lots of pending work though).
* Updated the man page a little bit. Added code to the build mechanism to generate an html version of the
man page, which is installed into the documentation directory.
symbols
* Werner Hoch has fixed a whole slew of symbols in various component libraries. Thanks Werner!
* Added a whole bunch of contributed symbols from various people. Thanks.
* Added a bunch of new Spanish characters by Carlos.
* Removed vhdl, verilog, asic, and gnetman from the system-commonrc file.
geda (gManager)
* Piotr Miarecki added a bunch of features and fixed a few bugs in gManager. Give it a try and let him how
gManager works for you. gManager is looking really nice.
* Integrated Antonio's pt_BR translation. This should work now.
* Added a strategic sleep to the mainloop of gManager to reduce the CPU load.
utils
* Updated Bill Wilson's gsch2pcb to version 1.4
* Add the necessary rules to the Makefiles to install all the backend READMEs into the documentation
directory.
* Integrated Stuart's garchive script.
docs
* Applied a whole bunch of patches from Dan McMahill to the symbol creation guide. These patches added/fixed
information related to the footprint= attribute.
* Started using hyperref.sty for all LaTeX generated documentation, which adds hyperlinks to the pdf files.
* Added a bunch of converted txt -> tex documents. The conversions were done by Dan McMahill.
* Added the Dan McMahill's documentation for the RF Cascade gnetlist backend.
* Rewrote the toplevel gedadocs.html index file to link all the new documentation, readmes, man pages, and
tutorials. The gedadocs.html now file contains almost all existing documentation on gEDA/gaf that I'm
aware of.
* Added a couple of tutorials that people have written. Namely Bill Wilson's gsch2pcb and Russ Dill's
tragesym tutorials. Both of these tutorials are accessible from the gedadocs.html file.
* Explicitly stated in the file formats document that all the file formats associated with gEDA/gaf are
covered by the GPL version 2.0.
* Lots of improvements and fixes to various docs.
examples
* No significant changes.
