pcb-rnd - the [io_*] patches
Mainline PCB core was coupled with the file format; the [io] patch set is
an effort to decouple any file design I/O from core. The original file format
(plain text .pcb and .fp) lives on as plugin called io_pcb.
TODO
save/load and compatibility
Not affected when io_pcb is used and .pcb or .fp files are loaded or saved.
Using other io_* implementations will obviously result in files that are
incompatible with mainline pcb (unless mainline pcb learns how to load those
formats).
plans
The project is still in an early phase.
