Greetings,

I made a copy of a = 40-pin header symbol from the gEDA-distributed symbol library = (Connectors (generic)/header40-2.sym) for editing and while editing it, = discovered a couple of attributes I am not familiar with:

pins=3D40

class=3DIO

The Allegro back end uses them. I also use pins=3D in = the pincount checking code at https://github.com/noqsi/noqsi-lepton-addons. Might get = back to working on that someday.


Are these new attributes that I should keep, or are they = deprecated old attributes I can safely remove without breaking a gEDA = tool?

They are not listed anywhere in the = current Master Attribute document on the wiki, not even the "Obsolete = Attributes" list:

Thanks.
