[eboard-devel] eboard fork focusing on refactoring and bug fixes

[cortexcorepl-eboard <cor...@qu...>]

Hello list,

I have created a fork of eboard (from cvs) because upstream seems dead.  

The fork, which is called currently "eboard2013" on github, focuses on
the following 3 aspects:
1. Refactoring:
In my opinion, this must be done because currently it's rather hard to
get to know eboard's code and the current state makes adding new futures harder.

2. Bug fixes: There some bugs in eboard which must be fixed. 
3. New futures.

The plan also involves to drop deprecated GTK symbols and replace
them with the non-deprecated versions. While we are at it, some parts
of the code should be rewritten to use C++11 futures.

I am aware of other recent forks, but those seem dead too and/or focus
on other aspects...

If upstream at some point wants to resume development, I think ( some of
) the changes can be merged back without any difficulties.

Everybody is welcome to submit pull requests/patches!
