Hi all,
announcing the latest release of pcb-rnd:
1.0.10 is the 4th phase of the large scale cleanup started at 1.0.7.
My focus was on cleaning up or replacing parts of the major core
infrastructure. This, as a side effect, resulted in a few new features.
Highlights:
- lihata instead of menu.res
- multikey accel keys in both GUI HIDs, using the same code; allow
multiple differen key combinations (even multikey and singlekey) for the
same menu/action
- footprint listing/loading is a plugin;
- optional extra footprint plugin: gedasymbols.org integration
- generic footprint library tree (better support for complex libraries)
- move some more core code into plugins
- a step toward GUI HID action API unification: GUI HIDs should support
the same set of actions
- GUI HIDs and the batch HID are all plugins now; this means even GUIs
can be made dynamic loadable

Roadmap: two cmore leanup cycles to go. Replace settings and potentially
any other local-parsed langauges (except the pcb format) in favor of
lihata. Remove glib from the puller and decide about the toporouter. I
will also try to reduce code size in core (while keeping the same
functionality) by using the minilibs more, replacing local list/vector
implementation where applicable.
NOTE: due to hardware failure, repo.hu autobuild is suspended - current
versions of pcb-rnd are not available in binary form (i.e. debian
packages).
Comments, suggestsions, testing are welcome.
Regards,
Igor2
