Hi all,

announcing the latest release of pcb-rnd:

1.0.10 is the 4th phase of the large scale cleanup started at 1.0.7.

My focus was on cleaning up or replacing parts of the major core 
infrastructure. This, as a side effect, resulted in a few new features. 
Highlights:

  - lihata instead of menu.res

  - multikey accel keys in both GUI HIDs, using the same code; allow 
multiple differen key combinations (even multikey and singlekey) for the 
same menu/action

  - footprint listing/loading is a plugin;

  - optional extra footprint plugin: gedasymbols.org integration

  - generic footprint library tree (better support for complex libraries)

  - move some more core code into plugins

  - a step toward GUI HID action API unification: GUI HIDs should support 
the same set of actions

  - GUI HIDs and the batch HID are all plugins now; this means even GUIs 
can be made dynamic loadable

Roadmap: two cmore leanup cycles to go. Replace settings and potentially 
any other local-parsed langauges (except the pcb format) in favor of 
lihata. Remove glib from the puller and decide about the toporouter. I 
will also try to reduce code size in core (while keeping the same 
functionality) by using the minilibs more, replacing local list/vector 
implementation where applicable.

NOTE: due to hardware failure, repo.hu autobuild is suspended - current 
versions of pcb-rnd are not available in binary form (i.e. debian 
packages).

Comments, suggestsions, testing are welcome.

Regards,

Igor2
