Notable changes in gEDA/gaf 1.8.2
=================================
Bugfix release.
* [994361] Fixed a libgeda crash bug involving nets inside symbols.
* [1226246] Fixed a gnetlist data corruption bug when using refdes
containing the string "POWER".
* Updates to build system to allow compilation from git on systems
with Automake >= 1.13.0.
Notable changes in gEDA/gaf 1.8.1
=================================
Bugfix release with correct dynamic version information for libgeda.
Notable changes in gEDA/gaf 1.8.0
=================================
* `gschem' and `gnetlist' have updated and rewritten user guides.
* All tools now give more informative error messages if they are
unable to load schematic or symbol files due to syntax errors.
* All tools now correctly handle schematic and symbol files with `\r',
`\n', or `\r\n` line endings, or a mixture.
* Unconnected pin ends and net ends are now all drawn with the same
box marker in `gschem' and printed output.
* Net segments with at least two connections (including indirect
connections via `netname=' attributes) are now drawn with arrowheads
rather than box markers on dangling ends in `gschem' and printed
output.
Notable changes in gEDA/gaf 1.7.2
=================================
* `geda-gaf' now requires GTK+ 2.16.0 or later.
* A greatly expanded Scheme API has been added to gEDA/gaf for use by
extension authors. See the `geda-scheme' Info manual for more
details. Existing extensions may need to be modified to load the
`(geda deprecated)' or `(gschem deprecated)' modules.
* The `component-library-search' function for `gafrc' files now skips
directories without symbols, and searches for libraries recursively.
* `gschem' keybinding improvements:
- Keybindings are now unaffected by Caps Lock.
- Keystrokes are displayed using the same characters as on keycaps
(e.g. `:' instead of `colon').
- Keystrokes may use extended modifiers (Super, Hyper and Meta).
- Key bindings can be modified in any rc file or interactively using
the `global-set-key' function. See notes in `system-gschemrc' for
examples.
* `gschem' now displays help files and component documentation on all
platforms, including Windows. The `locate' tool is no longer used
to search for component documentation files.
* The `schdiff' tool for generating visual diffs of schematics and
symbols has been added. It can be used with most version control
systems. See `man schdiff' for more details.
* The `bom' and `bom2' backends to `gnetlist' now give error messages
if no attribute file can be found. The `-O attrib_file=FILE' and
`-O attribs=ATTRIB,ATTRIB...' options have also been added.
* A new `ewnet' backend has been added to `gnetlist'. This outputs
netlists for use with the National Instruments ULTIboard layout
tool.
* The `verilog' backend to `gnetlist' now supports concatenated net
naming like "{a,b,c[3:0]}".
* `gsch2pcb' no longer supports the `m4_command' parameter in project
files.
* The `--m4-pcbdir' and `--m4-file' arguments to `gsch2pcb' now work
again.
* `gsymfix.pl' has been renamed to `gsymfix'.
* Man pages are now available for all programs installed as part of
gEDA/gaf.
* The undocumented programs `gnet_hier_verilog', `gsymupdate', `gschupdate'
and `sch2eaglepos.sh' are no longer installed to ${prefix}/bin.
Notable changes in gEDA/gaf 1.7.1
=================================
* gEDA is now compatible with Guile 2.0.
* gEDA/gaf applications no longer complain when trying to load an rc
file twice, or when an rc file doesn't exist.
* `gschem' allows objects to be moved by dragging without having to
select them first.
* `gschem' now supports keybindings with more than one modifier key,
and "Deselect" is bound to <Control Shift A> by default.
* `gnetlist' correctly handles multiple renames of the same net. This
resolves some long-standing bugs with multipage schematics.
* The `spice-sdb' backend for `gnetlist' now has built-in support for
`SUBCKT_NMOS' and `SUBCKT_PMOS' devices.
* A new `makedepend' backend has been added to `gnetlist'. It
generates Makefile code for SPICE simulation dependencies.
* Visibility of embedded component attributes are now preserved by
`gattrib'.
* `gsch2pcb' correctly handles footprint names with hyphens (`-').
* `gsch2pcb' project files support quoting and escaping in
`schematics' entries.
* Considerable enhancements to Unicode support when printing
schematics or exporting PostScript.
Notable changes in gEDA/gaf 1.7.0
=================================
* All gEDA/gaf applications now handle configuration files much more
strictly, and provide much more useful feedback when an error
occurs.
* Several changes to `gschem' command-line options:
- The `-t' option is no longer supported.
- Several command-line options now support a long-form alternative.
- The `-s' option can now be used to run multiple Scheme scripts
during `gschem' startup.
- A new `-c' option is available, which runs a Scheme expression
during `gschem' startup.
- A new `-L' option is available, which adds a directory to the
Scheme load path.
- A new `-V' or `--version' option is available, which displays
version information.
* `gschem' now provides a "Select All" function, which is bound to
<Control a> by default, along with a corresponding "Deselect"
function.
* In the `gschem' "Add component" dialog, filtering the component
library will expand matching libraries. If the filter is cancelled,
all libraries are collapsed. Components can now be selected by
double-clicking on them in the component list.
* The `gschem' "Edit Text Properties" dialog now has an easier to use
"Alignment" menu.
* Printed text size now better matches on-screen text size in
`gschem'.
* Special characters, including commas, are now escaped or quoted
appropriately in `gattrib' CSV output.
* Several changes to `gnetlist' command-line options:
- Four command-line options specific to the `spice-sdb' backend have
been removed. They can be replaced with `-O <option>' according
to the following table:
-e, --embedd -O embedd_mode
-I, --include -O include_mode
-n, --nomunge -O nomunge_mode
-s, --sort -O sort_mode
- The list of available backends is now obtained using a new
`--list-backends' option. `-g help' no longer outputs a list of
backends.
- A new `-L' option is available, which adds a directory to the
Scheme load path.
- A new `-V' or `--version' option is available, which displays
version information.
- When run with invalid command-line arguments, `gnetlist' now exits
with non-zero exit status.
* Several `gnetlist' backends have now been fixed so that it should no
longer be necessary to set an expanded Guile stack in gEDA's config
files.
* The `spice-sdb' backend for `gnetlist' now supports probes
(`TESTPOINT' devices).
* The undocumented `mk_verilog_syms' program is no longer installed.
The symbols it creates are still installed to
`${prefix}/share/gEDA/sym/verilog'.
