September 25th, 2009· gerbv: fixed a minor arc rendering bug in fast mode
· gerbv: Make the svg/pdf/ps export use a 1:1 scale instead of scaling to fit the page.
· configure: Always require cairo now since we make use of some of the transformation functions even when using gdk rendering.
· gerbv: Fix a bug in the vertical scrollbar calculations.
· libgerbv: Fix a bug where apertures < 10 were potentially ignored in some drill files
· gerbv: Fix clipping bug when viewing files with image offsets
· gerbv: Fix a bug whereclicking on the message tab caused the keyboard accelerators stop working
· gerbv: Use a reasonable return code when doing command line processing.
· libgerbv: Improve the macro parser.
· libgerbv: Allow 0 degree rotation
· libgerbv: Fix some drill parser bugs
· libgerbv: Support the Excellon "R" (repeat) command
· testsuite: Add some tests for drill files
· libgerbv: Fix a bug in the Excellon export which sometimes dropped the first element.
· libgerbv: Fix some additional Excellon export bugs.
· gerbv: Add the ability to rotate/translate layers
· libgerbv: Fix the pkgconfig file to include some needed dependencies.
September 9th, 2008· Added ability to select objects, with the option of deleting or viewing basic properties of the objects
· Split off the core functionality of gerbv into a library (libgerbv) to allow developers to quickly write software using Gerber parsing/editing/exporting/rendering functionality. Full DOxygen documentation has also been created to facilitate developers wishing to use libgerbv.
· Added export to RS274X and Excellon functionality, allowing gerbv to translate files between formats. The RS274X export function can also beused to "clean" troublesome files to a more compatible format.
· Added the ability to override the Excellon format "guessing", allowing non-standard drill files to be correctly rendered
· Greatly expanded the command line functionality, including the ability to panelize boards into a single one through the command line
· Added "Aperture usage" tab to Gerber reports. This allows the user to see how often each aperture is used in all visible layers of his project.
· Fixed bug when exporting several layers to SVG/PDF/PS, which caused corrupted output and/or crashes
· Fixed several Windows-only problems related to parsing and rendering
· Fixed rendering bug when using polygon objects within step and repeat blocks
· Improved RS-274X export output format to work with certain Gerber viewing software
