Release notes for the gEDA/gaf 20050313 snapshot
Changes
_________________________________________________________________
general
* Lots and lots and lots of code cleanup, refactoring, and bug
fixing by Patrick Bernaud, Stuart Brorson, Carlos Nieves Onega,
Werner Hoch, and Dan McMahill. This applies to all parts of
gEDA/gaf. The amount of cleanup is quite staggering, so please
look at the various ChangeLogs for more info. Many thanks to all
who lent a hand in this rather difficult task!
libgeda
* Shared library version number now at 23.
* Carlos added proper unicode support to libgeda. Schematic and
symbol files can now have unicode characters in them and as long
as there is a font definition file for them, the characters will
appear in gschem. This was the last piece for making the
transition over to gtk+ 2.2.x. Patrick did some misc cleanup on
the unicode support as well.
* Patrick rewrote the logging mechanism to use GLib's message
logging.
* Carlos added picture support to libgeda. This allows users to put
pictures in various formats into schematics. Pictures are not yet
rendered in postscript or png files. This feature will be
completed in a subsequent release.
* Dan added electric fence support to all configure scripts.
* Dan squashed a whole bunch of gcc warnings as well turning on
-Wall by default to further point out developer laziness. :)
* Patrick rewrote the all guile code to use the 1.6.x scm
interfaces. Dan and Carlos did some minor touch up to catch other
missed deprecated guile interfaces.
* Patrick rewrote the component library code to be sane.
* Stuart added code to read in rc files when a schematic file is
loaded from a foreign directory. This allows users to open up
schematics that have local symbols.
* Stuart add code for of a component placeholder for when a
component cannot find its symbol file. This was extended a little
to draw a graphic informing the user which component is missing
its symbol file.
* Fixed the symversion= code handling to deal with the case when no
other attributes are attached to the component. In the past, this
scenario was simply ignored.
* Added code (temporarily till the bug is fixed) which forces
libgeda to output the vector font when rendering multi-line text
items. This behavior can be controlled via the gschem rc keyword:
output-vector-threshold
gschem
* Werner Hoch completely rewrote the Attributes/Autonumber Text...
dialog box. This new dialog boxes fixes some of the past problems
and hopefully will satisfy more users given that it has far more
capability than the last dialog box.
* Patrick completely rewrote the multi attribute dialog box. This is
a significant change which really improves the usability of this
dialog box. Other than just being a major visible improvement,
there are other features: you right click on the attributes
themselves to Delete or Duplicate them and you can enter
multi-line attributes by hitting Control-Enter instead of enter.
* Bert Timmerman contributed an updated Dutch translation.
* Iznogood contributed the first versions of the French translation.
* Carlos added the first versions of the Spanish translation.
* Carlos went through all the code and gave them all stock pretty
stock icons.
* Patrick completely rewrote the page manager to be sane.
* Stuart improved the right mouse button pop up menu to include a
few more commonly used options.
* Handsom Greg supplied a patch to allow gEDA/gaf to build using
gtk+ 2.6.x.
* Patrick removed any limitations on number of files in the
component library code.
* Part of Stuart's work on reading in rc files in different
directories, system-commonrc was renamed to system-gafrc.
* Patrick rewrote most of the code for the line type and fill type
dialog boxes. They can now be used for multiple objects.
gnetlist
* Carlos modified the bom, bom2, drc2, and redac backends to write
to stdout if a "-" is specified using the -o flag.
* Dan added several guile functions to deal with target netlist
refdes requirements which may be more restrictive than
gschem/gnetlist. Dan also updated his futurenet2, pads, and
switcap backends to use these new functions.
* Carlos improved his drc2 backend to check for duplicated
references as well as properly return exit codes to allow gnetlist
to be used in Makefiles easily.
* Carlos added several functions for use in the DRC backend.
gattrib
* Stuart made a bunch of bug fixes and improvements including:
* Added a pop-up window if a component is found with no symbol file.
* Fixed a bug where only one page of design was searched for missing
attribs.
* Fixed bug where pre-existing attribs were deleted instead of being
replaced.
* Added support for slotted components.
gsymcheck
* Carlos added a check of the pintype attribute value.
* No other significant changes except a bunch of code cleanup and
updating.
symbols
* Carlos and Patrick made the necessary changes support unicode
characters in gEDA/gaf. Wojciech Kazubski also contributed Polish
font definitions.
* Stuart added a bunch of SPICE symbols.
* Werner Hoch did a considerable amount of fixing of various broken
symbols. Many thanks.
geda (gManager)
* Applied segfault patch by Werner Hoch.
* Added updated Italian translation by Marco Colombo.
* No other significant changes except a bunch of code cleanup and
updating.
utils
* Stuart added additional printfs to gsch2pcb during directory
search when using the -v -v flags.
* No other significant changes except a bunch of code cleanup and
updating.
docs
* The gsch2pcb tutorial was updated to the latest version.
* Carlos updated the file format document to describe the new
picture object.
examples
* Stuart updated some of the schematics in the RF_Amp example.
