pcb
pcb has been updated from 0.20100929 to 0.20110918. In addition to numerous bug fixes, the following list some of the significant changes:
- Internal coordinate space is now metric. This should fix the "trace nubs on metric grids" issue. Also, units are allowed on pretty much every "coordinate" that PCB accepts. Example: 5.4in, 10cm, 0.55mm.
- New configure option --enable-coord64 to force (slower?) 64-bit type for coordinates on 32-bit systems (if you need a board bigger than 1 meter across). The internal precision is 1 nanometer,
- New GTK layer view/choose widget and other GUI enhancements.
- GTK HID warns if the *.pcb file has changed on disk.
- Enhanced grid snapping logic.
- Select/report nets by name.
- Auto-pan has been removed.
- Zoom can zoom out beyond the edge of the board's workspace.
- Personally identifiable information is no longer stored in the PCB.
- Toggling vias from hole to plated is reversible.
- Gerber exporter has options for including outlines on other layers.
- Edited footprint files are saved as footprints, not pcbs.
- Autorouter has a progress dialog.
- PCB will no longer let you delete the last top/bottom layer.
- Via copper may overlap.
