This directory hosts the pcb-rnd's new footprint library. To avoid confusion with "newlib", which is in use in mainline, this one was called pcblib - and got renamed to footprint/ for 3.0.0. Some footprints are dynamically generated by scripts; they are called parametric footprints and are in parametric/. Other footprints are plain old data file footprints (static footpritns) in all the other directories.
