I had originally thought that was the idea with the 4.x series, but I might be wrong. On Wed, May 04, 2016 at 11:10:46AM -0600, Duane Johnson wrote: > Might it be worth making a specific (intermediate) release whose purpose is > to make it the last support for "legacy" canvas? > > On Wed, May 4,

Might it be worth making a specific (intermediate) release whose purpose is to make it the last support for "legacy" canvas? On Wed, May 4, 2016 at 9:19 AM, Chris Pavlina wrote: > While I understand your point, and I think I agree with it (though I'm > almost > on the

Re: [Kicad-developers] Preferences rework - pcbnew

While I understand your point, and I think I agree with it (though I'm almost on the fence), I wonder if I should explain - I think the argument for removing legacy sooner rather than later is that by removing the crutch of "eh, we can just use legacy for that for now", we will encourage

Re: [Kicad-developers] Preferences rework - pcbnew

Removing the legacy canvas cannot be done until there is an acceptable solution for users who do not have usable opengl on their systems. The Cairo canvas is not usable even on the fastest system I've have access to. Until either Cairo gets a significant speed boost, opengl becomes usable on all

Re: [Kicad-developers] Preferences rework - pcbnew

What about simply removing the legacy canvas preemptively from the development branch? gal-only is pretty usable by now and it might reduce development workload for new features. On Tue, May 3, 2016 at 7:52 AM, Wayne Stambaugh wrote: > On 5/2/2016 4:54 PM, Chris Pavlina

Re: [Kicad-developers] Preferences rework - pcbnew

I can imagine it, but I thought it was necessary to mention the idea. This task would be easier if we could just get rid of the legacy canvas. But that probably can't happen immediately, as we all know. 2016-05-03 17:13 GMT+02:00 Chris Pavlina : > Oh god no. Can you

Oh god no. Can you imagine the bug reports from people who can't find settings? http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/727/910/577.gif On Tue, May 03, 2016 at 04:41:20PM +0200, Nick Østergaard wrote: > Maybe just show or enable the settings if the appropriate canvas is active? > >

Maybe just show or enable the settings if the appropriate canvas is active? 2016-05-03 14:52 GMT+02:00 Wayne Stambaugh : > On 5/2/2016 4:54 PM, Chris Pavlina wrote: >> I'd like to start having a look at how I can organize the preferences for >> pcbnew, having mostly finished

[Kicad-developers] Preferences rework - pcbnew

I'd like to start having a look at how I can organize the preferences for pcbnew, having mostly finished in eeschema. (A few things remain to be tweaked and will probably be done at the same time as pcbnew, to keep things in sync). The problem of legacy preferences vs GAL preferences needs to be
