Dear pcb-rnd users and contributors,
I'm proud to announce reaching a symbolic mile stone: code change
statistics is at 75.0006% this morning. That means only 1/4 of the code
lines look the same as they did at the fork (many lines of license banner,
{, } and empty lines included).
It was about a year ago when we reached 66.67%. Now we reach 75%. Back
then I've announced parting gEDA. A year later, we are building our own
ecosystem, coralEDA.
However, behind the dry numbers we have significant features.
Big ones, like padstacks, slots, documentation/misc layers and fungw
scripting. And small but significant ones, like cam exporting, the
assembly plugin or having more dialog boxes available for the lesstif HID.
For the event of reaching 75%, I don't have anything major to announce. It
just happened. Changes accumulated, until a routine bugfix ("gtk command
entry blocks program quit") just did it.
Well, maybe there's something small to annouce: I stop doing the code
change stats. It has some administrative overhead and it is getting more
and more inaccurate (shooting below the real value) as the number is
rising. Like a typical progress par, it increases slower and slower as we
get close to 100%. But unlike a typical progress bar, this one will never
reach 100%. So there's a point when it doesn't make sense to calcualte it
any more, and I think 75% is that point.
For more info about how it was calculated, see the pool node:

Let's keep up the good work and find and fix the remaining bugs!
Best regards,
Igor2
