Hi all, pcb-rnd 2.2.2 is available from the download page. Project page: http://pcb-rnd.repo.hu The next development cycle will be a short one again, focusing on some cleanups and infrastructure for our external autorouter, route-rnd that is going to replace the half-working internal autorouter. Release notes for 2.2.2: pcb-rnd 2.2.2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This version is mainly a feature release which extends I/O support and the DRC. There are some smallish features and a lot of bugfixes, please refer to the changelog for detauls. Feature highlight: 1. BXL support: footprints available in the (binary) BXL format can be loaded, imported or used from the library (directy, or using any of the schematics import methods). A BXL file may contain multiple footprints; in the library such a BXL file shows up as a virtual subdirectory. When importing a BXL file name directly, if there are multiple footprints in it pcb-rnd will offer the choice which one to load. 2. query/drc_query: access a list of layers, network segments, net segment lengths, more geometrical and mathematical functions for more powerful DRC rules. 3. Save/load DRC rules: implemented native lihata format and tEDAx format. Importing a tEDAx netlist automatically loads DRC rules, allowing schematics to specify rules. 4. Dedicated GUI and network dialog upgrade for easier network length tracking. 5. Lihata board v7: new native file format version with more powerful text object support, new gfx object support and more. 6. Online help/support: minimalistic IRC client for direct real-time contact to the developers to reach out for yet passive users. 7. Alien format handling: upgrade text object load to a bounding box based algorithm to overcome text alignment and font difference problems 8. librnd (hidlib) separation: rename all public API symbols to start with rnd instead of pcb -- Best regards, Igor2
