Hello, fellow gEDA users and developers!

I'm pleased to announce "lepton-eda" -- a fork of gEDA/gaf,
our λεπτόν to gEDA and FOSS EDA world.

Site:
  https://github.com/lepton-eda

Issues tracker:
  https://github.com/lepton-eda/lepton-eda/issues

Interface for pull requests:
  https://github.com/lepton-eda/lepton-eda/pulls

Our goals are:
  - stability
  - evolution by means of gradual innovations
  - support of tools being under gEDA umbrella

Our current top priority is a prompt release, so that you can try
out the new features that have been added lepton recently.

Over the coming months, some tools may be renamed to allow lepton
and geda-gaf to be installed side-by-side.  The lepton tools will
be _fully_ backward-compatible with the geda-gaf 1.9.2 tools, and
by default will install symlinks so you don't have to change any
build scripts.

Netlist export and design rule checks will be accessible directly
from gschem with clear reporting and easy navigation to problems
in the gschem user interface.  At the same time, batch and
command-line netlisting capabilities will be improved with better
performance and diagnostics.

In the longer term, the bulk-editing features of gattrib will be
integrated directly into gschem, so there's no need to switch
between tools.

The gschem user interface will become more configurable and
responsive.  gschem should use your screen space efficiently.

lepton will let plugin developers easily extend gschem by
dynamically adding and removing keybindings, toolbar buttons and
menu items.

Some contributed tools will be separated out into their own
repositories for ease of maintenance.

Documentation and examples will be improved to improve user
experience with our tools.

Join us!

  Vladimir
