How and when do your latest gcode patches get merged into the main branch?

The outline layer is working fine now, when I draw a rectangle with

That makes a lot of sense. Very clearly explained!

Thanks guys. I built gd-2.0.35RC5 from source with no problems, and then
pcb compiled. I also tried 'sudo apt-get build-dep pcb'. I didn't know
about the 'build-dep' option. I like that, so I did it and there were
four or five programs that got installed.

The g-code exporter looks great! Right now I am looking at EMC2 simulate
the milling of a pcb design!!
I like that the gound plane outline is machined. The circular pads could
use some more lines to round them out. Have you thought about
programming g-code arcs (G02, G03) for them?
At 2000 dpi the curved traces look great on EMC2/Axis!

I do think a dxf exporter can attract thousands of people to geda tools.
The cnczone.com site alone is huge. And cnc machines need a lot of

make a 'signal opto-isolator board' and a 'photo-interrupter limit
