+ pcb-rnd - the [fp_wget] patch
+
+Since version 1.0.10, pcb-rnd implements a new footprint mechanism (see
+[fp_fs] and [library_t]).
+The new code allows footprint backend plugins to get library from anywhere.
+The [fp_wget] plugin is an implementation that:
+
+ - downloads a library list from the web on startup into a local cache
+
- donwloads footprints from the web on-demand into a local cache
+
+
+This is all transparent, the user experience is that the remote library is
+like a read-only local library reachable from the library window.
+
+A web site used as a library should be able to:
+
+ - generate a plain text list of all footprints available
+
- return the raw footprint file by name
+
+
+The plugin uses external program wget to communicate on the web.
+
save/load and compatibility
+Not affected.
+
+ plans
+Better feedback on progress, explicit user requested refresh, refresh in
+the background.
