[Kicad-developers] PATCH: Add two finer zoom levels in eeschema/libedit

Hi, eeschema and libedit don't have enough zoom levels. The finest grid is 1mil, but at the finest zoom level, there are barely two pixels for each grid point, making it bloody impossible to *use* these fine grid settings. Fine grid is particularly useful in libedit when you want to carefully t

I agree with Cirillo, an unique file called AUTHORS (or AUTHORS.txt for Windows users) is preferable, as it can be referenced in the About dialog with a link, so you have the best of both world, and only one place to update when there are any changes. Also, you can change the list of contributor

It sounds like this is going to break the existing behavior so I would rather wait until after the stable release unless we can guarantee that it will continue to work on existing installs. Moving forward, it probably makes more sense to install the 3D models along side the library and module path

Hi Wayne,   very good news. Maybe it makes sense to add the GPL font exception to the KiCad license too, although the font license is now CC0 the newstroke-font will be part of the KiCad-binary (and thus GPL3+). You can find a template here:   https://www.gnu.org/software/freefont/license.htm

Hi Jean-Samuel Thank your for your work. :) But I noticed that some packages are called *-pkg, I was wondering about this and thought it was a strange "meta-naming"... and now I see your announcement description where you don't use that, so is this a naming error in the package names in the repo?
