I would not be in favor of porting the existing auto router to GAL. If we do port it, please come up with a plugin architecture even if its a build time plugin architecture like we use in the board plugins so it's easy to implement alternate routers. > - microwave tools We should probably keep at least what we have now although I don't know how may users we have who use the microwave tools. You may want to ask around on the user forums. This would be my lowest priority task. > - footprint/local ratsnest Here is one place were I would like to see some improvement beyond what we have now. The current options are not granular enough. I would like to see a net properties dialog that would allow you to set the ratsnest visibility and change the display color of individual nets. > - dragging footprints (i.e. moving footprints while keeping tracks > connected) If it can be implemented in a sane manner, than this would be useful.
