We are pleased to announce a new *unstable* 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.

gEDA/gaf version 1.9.0 is a development preview release, and contains
many new and relatively untested features.  Use at your own risk, and
read the release notes (below)!

Release Highlights
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Major changes to printing & exporting to image files, including PS and
PDF.

* A new renderer library called `libgedacairo' has been added, and all
  tools have been updated to use it.

* A new `gaf' command-line utility has been added. It includes a `gaf
  export' subcommand for creating PNG, SVG, PDF, PS and EPS from
  schematics.

* gschem now generates PDF, not Postscript.  Please, check your
  Makefiles, batch scripts, etc.  If you still require PS output, use
  `gaf export' instead.  For example:

    %.ps: %.sch
            gaf export --output=3D$@ -- $<
