Hi all, I'm proud to announce pcb-rnd release 2.1.0. After finishing the bulk work of the data model rewrite earlier this year, 2.1.0 introduces only smallish, trivial extensions to it (documentation layers, proper plated/unplated mechanical layers and slots in padstacks, more flexible text object). Besides the few minor features there were a lot of bugfixes/cleanups. Next development cycle will follow this path with more bugfixes and cleanups with no major change to the existing infrastrcture; we will remove gpmi scripting support in favor of fungw scripting support (we keep support for ~10 scripting languages). Project page: http://repo.hu/projects/pcb-rnd/ SVN: svn://repo.hu/pcb-rnd/trunk Tarballs: http://repo.hu/projects/pcb-rnd/releases/ Chat with us: http://repo.hu/projects/pcb-rnd/irc.html Full changelog for this release: http://repo.hu/projects/pcb-rnd/releases/changelog-2.1.0.txt Release notes: pcb-rnd 2.1.0 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The main focus was introducing mech/doc/misc layers and proper slot support in padstacks. New feature highlights: 1. layer model upgrade: mechanical layers for boundary and cuts and slots; remove layer stack assumption for a single outline layer 2. layer model upgrade: optional custom documentation layers 3. padstacks: support for plated and unplated slots of arbitrary shape 4. padstacks: hshadow (clearance around the hole, without copper) and UI support for "no shape" (no copper) thermal type for per layer control 5. arbitrary angle text rotation 6. optional: user specified text object thickness, per text 7. ScaleBuffer() action that can resize (scale up/down) the buffer 8. trdraw: generic rendering transformations, such as object bloat/shrink while rendering for any output; accessible from the cam plugin 9. new dialog boxes: padstack browser with preview; undo dialog; fungw scripts 10. new io plugin: full board load from the DSN format 11. Major documentation extensions: resurrect action docs, add a lot of dev doc -- Best regards, Igor2
