Update to version 1.6.0
Besides the changes noted below, a major change in 1.6.0 is that the gEDA/gaf suite
is istributed as a single tarball and uses a single build system as opposed to \
individual
tarballs and builds. In addition to greatly speeding up the build, it is much easier
to maintain. Additionally, it rarely made sense to only install some of the \
components.
Notable changes in gEDA/gaf 1.6.0
=================================
* Fixed the GtkItemEntry code inside of gattrib code so that it builds
using gtk+ > 2.16.x.
* In gschem, rubberband pin to pin connections by adding nets.
* Cleanup of the slot handling code in libgeda.
* Fixes/updates to the MinGW port.
* Updated the shipped documentation from the online wiki.
Notable changes in gEDA/gaf 1.5.3/1.5.4
=======================================
* NOTE: gEDA/gaf 1.5.3 was released with some critical bugs, so
it was withdrawn before it was widely distributed.
* Text rendering using native system fonts:
- The various programs in gEDA/gaf no longer uses its own built-in
line font.
- Native system fonts are used for rendering, giving support for a
wider range of symbols, and better looking schematics.
* Always use PostScript fonts in gschem's PostScript output. The
"output-text", "text-output" and \
"output-vector-threshold" config
functions have been removed.
* Image rendering in 'gschem' uses cairo instead of GDK.
* Numerous build system changes:
- gEDA/gaf is now distributed as a single source archive, called
gEDA-<version>.tar.gz.
- GTK+ 2.10 or newer and Guile 1.8 or newer are now required.
- `intltool' is no longer required.
- Documentation is now installed to ${docdir} (usually
${prefix}/share/doc/gEDA).
* The attribute edit dialog in `gschem' now has completion of most
common attribute names.
* The multi-attribute edit dialog in `gschem' now shows unpromoted
symbol attributes.
* Menu items in `gschem' now have icons and properly aligned key
bindings. They also support accelerator keys.
* The `gschem2pcb' and `PCBboard' netlist backends have been removed.
It is recommended to use `gsch2pcb' instead.
* Check for and reject non-footprint PCB files in 'gsch2pcb'.
* Removed unimplemented "File->Open" feature in 'gattrib'.
* Added --disable-gattrib command line flag to ./configure to disable the
building of 'gattrib'. This is useful if you are building against
gtk+ 2.17.x which breaks 'gattrib'.
* 'gnetlist' does not recommend drc2 every time it runs. The drc2
backend is only useful in certain circumstances.
* Assign shortcuts "vd" and "vl" for changing between color \
schemes
in 'gschem'.
* Fix problem with attached net attribute not being honored in 'gnetlist'.
* Focus the "save" button in the close confirmation dialog in 'gattrib' and
'gschem'.
* Accept empty attributes in the src file in 'tragesym'.
* Cleaned up the slot dialog box in 'gschem'.
* Changed the grip size rendering in 'gschem' to be reasonably sized when
zoomed in a lot.
* Introduction of a new attribute searching API in 'libgeda' and 'gschem'.
* Improvements and cleanup to the 'gnetlist' and 'gsymcheck' test suites.
* Fixed the following bugs:
- 1758673: Combine source tarballs
- 2058707: gschem, gattrib: Dangerous button focus in "Save changes"
dialog at quit
- 2430369: gschem: Deselect invisible attribs with their parent object.
- 2449060: Graphic state left inconsistent cancelling from net mode
- 2460301: libgeda: Make o_complex_promote_attribs() respect keep_invisible
and libgeda: Make o_complex_copy() actually copy.
- 2455061: Gnetlist output changed, and tests fail with recent GLib
- 2655088: autogen.sh: Make sure to exit if autopoint fails.
- 2823703: gnet-pcbpins.scm: Quote pins names if they contain comma
or close parenthesis.
- 2823755: gnetlist: Fix DEBUG builds.
- 2836109: build-sys: Add check for groff html driver.
* Spanish translation were updated.
* Lots of code, infrastructure, and doxygen documentation cleanup and
refactoring.
Notable changes in gEDA/gaf 1.5.2
=================================
* `gschem' now uses Cairo for all rendering. This allows for
everything to be rendered anti-aliased.
* `gschem' now uses a mesh grid instead of dots by default.
* Net junction cues in `gschem' are drawn smaller now.
* Copy and paste now works between different `gschem' instances (using
the X selection).
* Recent files are no longer opened in a new `gschem' window.
* Major, *backwards-incompatible* changes to color handling in
`libgeda' and `gschem'.
- All colors are specified using hexadecimal `#RRGGBB' or
`#RRGGBBAA' syntax.
- The print and display color maps are now separate.
- A new Scheme syntax is used to inspect and modify color maps.
- If you wish to use a light background in `gschem', add the line:
(load (build-path geda-rc-path "gschem-colormap-lightbg"))
to your personal or project gschemrc file.
* Attributes of embedded objects are now shown in the right color.
* Bus pins are now supported by `gschem' and `libgeda', but are *not*
properly supported by the netlister. The pin type can be modified
by selecting a pin, then right-clicking it and selecting `Edit pin
type...'.
* All of the symbols were modified to use overbar markup tags ("like
\_this\_") instead of separate lines.
* Log files are now saved to $HOME/.gEDA/logs rather than being
dropped in the current directory.
Notable changes in gEDA/gaf 1.5.1
=================================
* GTK+ version 2.8.x or later is now required.
* The selection behaviour in `gschem' was changed.
- Lines, unfilled boxes, unfilled circles, arcs, pins, nets, and
buses must be selected by clicking on the drawn path itself.
- Filled boxes, circles, text, and components, may be selected by
clicking anywhere in the bounding box.
- The default mouse click distance required to select an element was
increased to 10 pixels.
- Double-clicking on a net segment selects all connected net
segments.
* The percentage step in or out while zooming the display in `gschem'
is now configurable with the `zoom-gain' gschemrc parameter. The
default value is 20%.
* The size of steps when panning with the mouse wheel or with a
trackpad in `gschem' is now adjustable with the `scrollpan-steps'
gschemrc parameter. The default setting scrolls in steps of 1/8 of
a screen.
* A number of improvements were made to the `gschem' component
selection dialog.
- The dialog now shows a table of top-level attributes in the
selected symbol.
- It is now possible to expand/collapse a library by clicking
anywhere on its row.
* Changes to fill- and line-styles in `gschem' can now be undone.
* Arcs can now be adjusted in `gschem' using an arc angle dialog. It
can be accessed by selecting an arc and selecting Edit->Edit.
* It is now possible to rotate objects while placing them in `gschem'.
* Support for arbitrary filled and unfilled paths, using a subset of
the SVG path syntax. For more information, please see the file
format specification.
<http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:file_format_spec>
- `gschem' does not yet provide a GUI for creating or editing path
elements. However, it does support rendering them. They can also
be printed.
- Some of the symbols in the component library were updated to use
paths.
* A Scheme evaluation prompt was added to `gschem'. It can be
accessed by typing `:'.
* Improved algorithm for drawing hatched fills both on screen and in
PostScript output.
* Color selection dialogs and menus in `gschem' now show the actual
color as well as the description. Color names are now translatable.
* `gattrib' now prompts to save changes.
* All of the unimplemented menu items and pages in `gattrib' were
removed.
* The `always-promote-attributes' gafrc parameter now takes a list of
strings as an argument. The space-delimited string syntax is
deprecated.
* Some optimisations were made to the `gnetlist' connection traversal
algorithm to speed up netlisting large designs.
* A new netlist backend was added to support Liquid PCB.
<http://www.liquidpcb.org/>
* The `bom2' netlist backend now generates a `qty' column.
* Several improvements and fixes were made to the `systemc' backend.
* The `--gnetlist-arg' option to gsch2pcb can now be used to pass
extra `gnetlist' arguments.
* `gsch2pcb' now emits files with the latest `pcb' file format.
* The `gxyrs' pick-and-place tool was added.
Notable changes in gEDA/gaf 1.5.0
=================================
* Magnetic net mode in `gschem'. Magnetic mode lets you draw nets and
automatically connect to valid end points (such as pins and other
nets). The `magnetic-net-mode' gschemrc parameter can be used to
enable/disable this feature.
* Rotating a component while moving it in `gschem' now rotates around
the current mouse location.
* The `verilog' and `vhdl' backends now work again.
* Embedded components can now be mirrored.
* The `pads' netlist backend now uses CRLF line endings.

Log message:
* If PLIST_SRC is explicitly set to an empty value in a package Makefile,
then automatically generate a PLIST that says "${PKGNAME} has no files".
* If PLIST_SRC and GENERATE_PLIST are not set in a package Makefile,
and no PLIST files exist, then fail during the package build with
PKG_FAIL_REASON.
* Remove "intentionally empty" PLISTs again.
Now, the easy way to say that a package installs no files is to just
add the following to the package Makefile:
PLIST_SRC= # empty
