So, the wxdc GAL is progressing, although I'm a bit stuck now with layer ordering (in OpenGL you have Z-buffer for free, in wxDC it's a bit more tricky to draw stuff in order and avoid sorting). The new version will also support 'flipped' PCB mode (editing a PCB laying upside down - quite useful for placing the component on the bottom side of the board). I'm also simplifying the VIEW_ITEM interface and the making the updates of the view less invasive.
