gEDA-user: PCB panner control

2011-09-06 Thread Vladimir Zhbanov
Hello. I read the main pcb doc and found the section Panner Control. After searching in the last pcb sources I found no mention of this widget. It seems to be excluded from the code during transition from Xaw interface to GTK HID in 2005. So could anyone improve the doc? BTW: there also is the sec

gEDA-user: time for a pcb release cycle?

With Andrew's nanometers work done, I think it's time for another PCB release cycle. My two blockers were the nanometer patch and a windows build, and we have both of those. All "next bug release" LP bugs are fixed, as are all "next feature release" and most of the "future bug release" ones. As
