[Pcb2gcode-devel] pcb2gcode 1.1.0 release, packaging, gui

[Patrick B. <pbi...@us...>]

============
1.1.0 Release
============

As the only major bug with pcb2gcode known to me in the previous
month(s) is it's incapability to deal with guard rings and heat traps
properly (which is not something that can be dealt with very easily),
I propose changing the version number to 1.1.0 and start packaging.
Unless there are further issues to discuss, I will do so by Saturday 22nd.


============
Documentation, GUI
============

Given the ever-growing number of features and parameters, it would be
nice to have some more documentation on some of them on the wiki, esp.
the outline cutting.
Unfortunately the SF mediawiki version requires me to give each user
write permissions separately, so if you want to change anything,
please let me know.

As a python exercise, I'm thinking of programming a simple graphical
"wizard" that creates custom millproject files, with the intent do
reduce the learning curve for new users somewhat. I'll possibly use
AVC [1], pygtk and glade. Any thoughts?


============
Packaging
============

I intend to build a rpm package for Fedora 14 myself (unless someone
volunteers to do that) and leave possible debian-ish packages to
others.
@chrysn: what's your status concerning the debian packages?
