Release notes for the gEDA/gaf 20070526 snapshot
Changes
_________________________________________________________________
libgeda/gschem
* libgeda's shared library version is now 29:0:0.
* Added "recently used files" File menu option. Now you can open up
files you used recently (and if you have a gafrc your components
should be found too) and open those files up in a new gschem
window. (Ivan Stankovic)
* Merge of the noscreen branch (many changes). This branch removed
all cached screen coordinates. Now all calculations are done in
world coordinates and should yield some drawing improvements. End
users should not notice any difference (other than the slight
speed up). (Peter Clifton)
* Many improvements to the "Write image..." dialog box in gschem.
gschem can now export any image that gtk+ (gdk-pixbuf
specifically) can write (png, jpg, ico, bmp, etc...). Libgd is no
longer an optional dependency and cannot be used with
libgeda/gschem. (Carlos Nieves Onega)
* Improved the auto placing mechanism. One improvement (amongst
others) is in the cases of: if the attribute overlap with pins
(including pinnumbers), or the pin connection direction where a
net is supposed to be drawn, then the attributes are moved
automatically. (Carlos Nieves Onega)
* A few improvements to the component place selector including
adding ok button to hide the component insert dialog box).
(Various)
* Added items (links to the wiki and FAQ) to the gschem help menu.
(Peter Brett)
* Fixed a nasty bug that was causing random crashes with keymaps
that did not have a valid keyval/keysym. (Peter Clifton)
* Fixed the drawing of dotted arcs/circles when the dot spacing is
too small to render. (Peter Clifton)
* Fixed component selector filter to be case insensitive. (Carlos
Nieves Onega)
* Added PageUp and PageDown hotkeys to change pages in gschem.
(Peter Brett)
* Fixed the ordering of buttons in all gtk dialog boxes to be
correct (based on what gtk+/gnome/desktop conventions). (Carlos

* Various improvements to the spice-sdb backend including the
treatment of slotted parts (so that pins are emitted in pinseq
order). (Stuart Brorson)
