This release is primarily a bug fix release. A number of corner cases are handled more smoothly now. RS-274X and RS-274D support has been improved, with better conformance to the specifications. Several bugs and regressions in FAST mode have also been addressed.
This release include patches collected over one and a half years. The step-and-repeat command now works. An endless loop bug when gerbv encountered an unknown % code was fixed. Better support was provided for small drill files and window size handling was improved when the screen is bigger than the display. Maintainership has broadened to include several more members of the gEDA project.
The updates include removal of GTK1 support, a
GCC4 bugfix, a major overhaul to remove a SEGV
that popped up since the last release, a simpler
build on Darwin, and other bugfixes to make gerbv
more stable. No new features were added.
