Release notes for the gEDA/gaf 20061020 snapshot
Changes
_________________________________________________________________
libgeda/gschem
libgeda and gschem no longer use libgdgeda (which was a gEDA specific
hack to the libgd library). gEDA/gaf now wants to use the original
GD library. (Wojciech Kazubski and Carlos Nieves Onega with
cleanup by others)
*
* gEDA/gaf now compiles out of the box on cygwin. (Cesar Strauss)
* Fixed bug #1553544: "New pages inadvertently created when adding
nets in gschem" (Peter Clifton)
* New component selection dialog box for gschem. This one is so much
better than the original one. Please test it out and submit
comments to the mailing lists. (Patrick Bernaud)
* The preview window is inside the file selectors again. The preview
window has been refactored and improved. (Patrick Bernaud)
* gschem now places a title block (or any component the user wants)
when a new page/window is created. This solves the common complain
that the initial zoom is way to far out. (Carlos Nieves Onega)
* Improvements to the new print dialog box: Make print settings
sticky for session. (Peter Brett)
* Fixed bug #1527465: Do a zoom extents for all pages when the main
window is maximized. (Carlos Nieves Onega and others)
* Fixed bug #1565433: Added the border in the gdk-pixbuf's image
output. (Carlos Nieves Onega)
* New dialog for user confirmation before closing a page or a
window. This is also a great improvement over the previous exit
confirm dialog box. (Patrick Bernaud)
* Various language translations updated.
* libgeda's shared library version is now 27:0:0.
* Many more bug fixes and code cleanups. (various people)
gnetlist
* Fixed PCB cursor related issues (Peter Clifton and Stuart
Brorson).
* Minor cleanup of gnet-PCB backend. (Thien-Thi Nguyen)
gattrib
* Made gattrib throw up GUI window warning user of no components or
attributes. (Stuart Brorson)
* File browsers in gattrib are now the same ones that gschem uses.
(Patrick Bernaud)

symbols
* linear/lm311-1.sym: Removed the GND false connection of the

Nieves Onega).
* Lots of off grid symbols cleaned up. (Werner Hoch)
gsymcheck
* Adds newline that is missing from the "Found Pintype=..." message
in s_check_pintype() in s_check.c. (Jeff Mallatt and Carlos Nieves
Onega)
* gsymcheck now counts the number of distinct pinnumbers specified
in all slotdef= attributes. Uses that number, plus the number of
net= pins, to compare with the "footprint size" when checking for
that warning. (Jeff Mallatt and Carlos Nieves Onega).
utils
* Applied patches for the cygwin port. Lots of various improvements
to make gschemdoc more Windows friendly (at least under cygwin).
