We are pleased to announce a new stable release of the 'gschem and 
Friends' Electronic Design Suite, part of the GPL Electronic Design 
Automation project.  The gEDA/gaf suite (this package) provides schematic 
capture, netlisting, bill of materials generation, and many other 
features.

Release Highlights
==================

* Tool windows in gschem can now be docked to the main window, and
   toolbar and context menu can be configured.  The main menus have
   been completely revamped and new tools added.

* New symbol semantics have been introduced: power symbols can use a
   netname=NET attribute instead of net=NET:1; I/O port symbols can use
   portname=PORT instead of a refdes=PORT; and subschematic components
   can define variables via `param=NAME=VALUE' which can be accessed as
   `$(NAME)' from within the subschematic.

* gnetlist has been completely refactored and shows warnings and
   errors in many cases where it used to silently create a bad netlist.
   Backends can now be written in Python as well as Scheme.  If invoked
   with the new option `--report-gui' or via PCB, gnetlist shows the
   messages in a GUI dialog instead of stderr.

* The new library "xornstorage", the Python package "gaf", and the
   accompanying command-line tool "xorn" have been added.  These are
   intended to give a (currently quite minimal) way to access gEDA/gaf
   functionality from outside of gschem.

* The command-line option "--control-fd=stdin|FD" has been added which
   allows remote-controlling gschem via a plain-text protocol.

* gschem supports back-annotation from pcb-rnd.

* gschem can optionally use FAM or Gamin to display a notification if
   a file has changed on disk.  Support for mouse gestures is now built
   into gschem, the dependency on libstroke has been dropped.
