The pcb-rnd plugin for pcb-file i/o is written specifically to
produce/read files from the mainline of pcb. The plugins code is
another matter because pcb-rnd adopted a plugin system for file i/o so
it could support other suites like Eagle's PCB or KiCAD's layout.

Why would the mainline need a plugin to read it's own file format?

It is open to people who want to help. The "deviations" that make it
incompatible are almost all cleanups to the code. Did you know the DRC
system uses long jumps? That has to be a hold over from the days when
the code was on an Amega.

If you want patches to add the file format plugin system to the
mainline it isn't "private" the code is there in SVN. Igor2 can talk
about this but I imagine you can patch it into the mainline.

>> I tend to disagree with merging an incompatible feature into pcb.

The goal of pcb-rnd is to support everything the mainline of pcb does
while supporting both more features and more file formats. This means
that at some point a feature will be added that doesn't fit the format
pcb's mainline uses.

However at some point something will cause an incompatibility with the
format you are using it in. At that point users will get a warning
they are breaking compatibility. If they try to save back in a format
that does not support it they will get a DRC style list of things to
change.

If you want a hand in steering pcb-rnd then join and help test or
better contribute code.
