Subject:	[geda-user] [pcb] Via Mask Aperture Added to Route Styles (File Format Update)

pcb Users-

We've recently added the diameter for via soldermask apertures to the route
styles in the master branch. This will allow you to set whether new vias
are created as tented vias (covered by soldermask) or open vias (not
covered by soldermask) for a given route style. Previously, all vias were
created tented by default, and you had to open the soldermask aperture
manually for each via if you didn't want them tented.

Please be aware that this requires an update to the file format to store
the additional parameter.

If you set the mask aperture of a route style to anything other than 0, the
additional parameter will be stored with the route style when you save your
files. Older versions of pcb will not be able to open these files.

If you leave the mask aperture set to 0, then pcb will save without
including the mask aperture parameter so that the files are backwards
compatible.

Please also note that if you "save as default" a route style that has a
non-zero mask aperture, and then you revert to an older version of pcb that
does not support this parameter, you will need to manually update your
default route styles string in .pcb/preferences to remove the parameter.

Cheers,
--Chad
