Are there ideas to migrate at some time towards file formats or conventions which are versioned, extensible and still backward compatible? Opening a file/project with an old version can then warn when it finds elements which this version doesn't understand yet and will ignore. Or saving a file/project can warn and exclude elements when saved to an older format. > While I'm not opposed to that, > we really should decide on a set of changes for this development cycle > and implement them in one go.

The patch is RFC only, but I would be glad to keep roundrects in the loop and the patch rebased (simply because I use RRs in my other designs and need them to migrate). I will be glad to do extensive testing of the gerber stuff. And get stuff manufactured with some nice footprints (LT3032EDE) and stencils. ;-) Regards, Clemens > On 1/12/2016 3:29 PM, Mathias Grimmberger wrote: >> >> Hello Clemens, >> >> Clemens Koller <c...@embeon.de> writes: >>> Hi, Mathias! >>> >>> On 2016-01-12 00:06, Mathias Grimmberger wrote: >>>> I refreshed a part of my patch for rounded rectangle pads (minus the >>>> plotting stuff, OpenGL canvas, stuff I probably forgot) so everybody >>>> interested can have a look and play a bit with it, see below. >>> >>> Unfortunately, your patch doesn't apply cleanly [1].
