Hi all,

I am doing a major cleanup on pcb-rnd. While doing so, I started to wonder 
if any pcb user/developer actually use the following features in pcb.

Please reply if you have used any of these in the past few years or you 
plan to use them in the near future. A simple "yes" is enough but 
comments/details/use cases are also welcome.

1a. Do you ever use the toporouter?

1b. More generally, any of pcb's built-in autorouter?

1c. Alternatively, any external autorouter with pcb?


2. Do you use libstroke? (Gesture recognition lib)


3. Do you use dmalloc? (Dynamic allocation debug library)


4a. Do you use the renumber() action? (It should rename all elements on 
the current pcb and optionally save a file that should be usable for back 
annotation)

4b. If you use renumber(), do you also do the back annotation part?


5a. Do you build pcb's texi documentation?

5b. Do you edit (contribute to) pcb's texi documentation?

TIA,

Igor2


*** Disclaimer ***

My mail has nothing to do with gschem or geda/gaf, file formats, 
programming languages, toolkit-vs-integration.

I do not propose any change in mainline pcb.

I do remember I already had the libstroke question in the past (but noone 
replied so I decided to ask again before I remove it from pcb-rnd).
