Hello fellow geda users,

after more than 1000 svn commits since the last release in late August, 
I'm proud to announce the latest release of pcb-rnd: version 1.1.2.

This release lays the foundations of a new native file format and a more
flexible, attribute based object model development, while also proceeding
with the code cleanup. Highlights:
  - cleanup:
   - the code is now compilable with ANSI/C89 - compiles on IRIX 5.3
   - char * const correctness
  - experimental native lihata file format (not the default yet)
  - property editor dialog in gtk
  - gtk:
   - full screen mode toggle for maximal editor space
   - new grid options that speed up rendering
   - finished preferences window (config's PoV)
   - route style deletion
   - fixed all known bugs (shift-tab, mac related issues)
  - fontmode (the font editor plugin) is usable again
  - separate bom and xy exporters
  - close polygon on double click

(A lot more has happened - for a longer list of fixes please check the 
changelog or for an even more detailed list please refer to the svn log)

Plans/focus for the next development cycle: go on with the new file format 
and make it production quality, supported with a set of automated tests. 
Long term this lets us implement new feature and clean up some internal 
data structures (e.g. layers!) without breaking compatibility with 
mainline. The .pcb format will be kept and maintained for compatibility 
with mainline. Proceed with the attributes, implementing an advanced 
search/select that complements the property editor.
