gEDA-announce: xgsch2pcb 0.1.3 released

[Peter Clifton]

I'm pleased to announce the third official release of xgsch2pcb, 0.1.3.
This release was tagged on 28th September 2009, but I forgot to send an
announcement.

xgsch2pcb provides an intuitive, user-friendly graphical interface to
the gsch2pcb command-line tool which is used to generate and update a
PCB layout. It works with schematics created by gschem, and layouts
created by pcb. xgsch2pcb also features a "template" functionality for
creating new projects.

xgsch2pcb requires a recent version of pcb built with D-Bus support
enabled. (Pass --enable-dbus to pcb's configure script when building).

This release provides a number of improvements and bug fixes:

 * Add translations from Launchpad
 * Handle blank lines in the project file correctly.
 * Pick the correct PCB instance when multiple are open
 * Make double-clicking / activating a schematic open it in gschem
 * Ignore unknown config file options, and re-emit them when saving
 * Rename translations to drop un-needed ISO-3166 country codes.


Enjoy!
