pcb-rnd - the [flagcomp] patch
Many of the patches in this fork, and in possible future branches/forks
may introduce new pin, pad or element flags. PCB loads and saves flags
by converting the text representation to an in-memory binary format. Any
flag not understood is lost.
This patch adds a linked list of string flags, filled in with the unknown
flags while loading a PCB. On save, these flags are appended to the normal
flag list. This preserves all unknown flags (but not order of flags) in
a load/save cycle.
save/load and compatibility
This patch ensures compatibility in save/load cycles with flags introduced
by later versions of mainline PCB or different branches/forks of PCB by
not removing flags they introduced.
plans
No plans - this feature is fully implemented.
