New in Gerbv 2.1.0 (Sep 9, 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
