Hello!
This is to announce the release of gerbv-2.3.0! Gerbv is an open source
Gerber file (RS-274X only) viewer for Linux and other unix flavors. Besides
viewing Gerbers, you may also view Excellon drill files as well as XYRS
(pick-place) files. For more information, browse to gerbv's web site:
http://gerbv.gpleda.org/
Gerbv is allied with the gEDA Project, an open-source collaborative
which has produced an end-to-end tool chain for PCB design on Linux and
other unices. The gEDA Project's website is here:
http://gpleda.org/
---- NOTICE ----
As of 12:th of June 2009, gerbv is hosted on the same location as the
rest of the gpleda projects. That means:
* Location of homepage of gerbv is now http://gerbv.gpleda.org/
(please change your bookmarks)
* Source of gerbv project is now under git on http://git.gpleda.org/
The gerbv team will thank Ales Hvezda for making the transistion of the
web site and the source code a smooth ride.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Gerbv release 2.3.0 introduces mostly major bug fixes:
* Fixed a minor arc rendering bug in fast mode.
* Make the svg/pdf/ps export use a 1:1 scale instead of scaling to fit
the page.
* Always require cairo now since we make use of some of the transformation
functions even when using gdk rendering.
* Fix a bug in the vertical scrollbar calculations.
* Fix a bug where apertures < 10 were potentially ignored in
some drill files.
* Fix clipping bug when viewing files with image offsets.
* Fix a bug where clicking on the message tab caused the keyboard
accelerators stop working.
* Improve the macro parser.
* Allow 0 degree rotation
* Fix some drill parser bugs element.
* Fix some additional Excellon export bugs.
* Fix the pkgconfig file to include some needed dependencies.
* Includes a "layer transformation" dialog window and functionality.
Right clicking on a layer in the sidebar and selecting the "modify
layer orientation" menu item brings up a dialog box which allows the
user to translate/scale/rotate/mirror the layer. When re-saving the
layer, all user transformations are saved with the RS-274X file.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Gerbv's homepage is from now on gpleda.org:
http://gerbv.gpleda.org/
There you will find a bug database, a feature request database, the CVS repo
and a commit mailinglist.
To download gerbv-2.3.0, go to
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gerbv/files/
and grab gerbv-2.3.0.tar.gz
To install gerbv do this:
1. tar zxf gerbv-2.3.0.tar.gz
2. cd gerbv-2.3.0
3. ./configure
4. make && make install
Interesting configure options are:
--help : Lists all configure options.
--enable-debug : Program will output lots of debug spew while running
(default = no -> no debug output by default.)
--enable-unit-mm : Set default unit for coordinates in status bar to mm
(default = no -> units = inches by default.)
--enable-efence : Link with ElectricFence for malloc debugging
(default = no -> efence off by default.)
--disable-update-desktop-database
: Update desktop icon database after installation
(default = no -> desktop icon installed by default.)
Thank you for using gerbv-2.3.0!
