Hello pcb-rnd community,
 
pcb-rnd has reached a symbolic milestone: we are beyond 66.667% in the code 
change statistics, which means more then 2/3 of the C source code lines are 
either new or got a relevant change since the fork.
 
(Indentation or moving the code around is considered irrelevant; for more 
details on how/why this rate is calculated, please see 
http://repo.hu/projects/pcb-rnd/devlog/20171117_chgstat.html )
 
To celebrate the symbolic event, I've implemented an "invoke external editor" 
action. This makes it possible to click on a subcircuit and get a second 
pcb-rnd (or a text editor) started up, the object edited, saved, and 
auto-replaced on the original board with the edited version. Sort of in-place 
footprint instance edition, without copy to buffer, save buffer, breakup, 
rebuild, etc. I think this could make a lot of user's life easier - this is my 
way to say thank you to the pcb-rnd community.
 
66.667% is just a number, it is not significant in itself. What is important is 
all the new features and _major_ refactoring/cleanup behind the numbers, which 
often resulted in fixing decade old bugs or misfeatures. I believe the last 1 
year of pcb-rnd was among the top 3 most productive years in project history, 
including PCB, back to the mid 90's!
 
Thank you all for joining the effort!
 
Regards,
 
Igor2
