-pcb-rnd 2.0.0
+pcb-rnd 2.0.1
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-The major version number bump has two reasons:
- - The old data model got fully removed; from version 2.0.0, internally
-   pcb-rnd speaks only the new, clean data model and export plugins
-   translates forth and back when loading/saving in legacy file formats.
-   This completes an 1.5 years long effort to get rid of legacy and
-   limitations imposed by decades old design decisions.
- - The new, better organized, more new-user-friendly menu and hotkey system;
-   the menu is now the same for lesstif and gtk and it features context
-   popup menu that depends on object type under the mouse cursor. The default
-   mouse button binding is less strange: popup menu on right click.
+Focus of this release is infrastructural cleanups, bugfixes
+and GUI rendering optimization. The new features added in this
+release are all about extending the infrastructure to get the
+flexibility of pcb-rnd to the next level. 
 
-The grid size and offset system got rewritten too. Instead of hardwired
-settings in the menu file, the user can specify a list of grid sizes, units
-and offsets in the config. Being in the config, this allows per user, per
-project or even per board file preferences.
+New feature highlights:
 
-Among with the old data model, the old, local rtree implementation got
-removed too, in favor of genrtree.
+1. Cam exporting interface: a simple, unified interface to tell
+any exporter what layers to export to what file names.
 
-There was a major upgrade on plugins too:
- - the xy exporter got user configurable templates, so it is now possible
-   to define new export file formats (even user or project or board file
-   specific ways) with editing configuration only
- - the ipcd356 plugin got rewritten for the new data model
- - a new ipcd356 import plugin is available
+2. Command line modes: the command line interpreter can be switched
+to interpret syntax different from pcb actions.
 
-Finally, extensive automated and manual testing resulted in collecting
-a long list of bugs. In turn most of the development cycle was spent on
-fixing bugs.
+3. Scripting support upgrade to using fungw (10 scripting languages,
+including awk, python, perl, ruby, javascript, lisp). Support for
+switching the command line into script mode using any of the
+supported scripting languages (the user can enter script one-liners directly).
 
+4. ddraft: angle/length constraint actions and GUI, trim() and split() actions,
+a new command line mode with a syntax designed for 2d drafting. Similar
+to those in mechnical cads, with actions to draw lines perpendicular or
+parallel to existing lines.
+
+5. Command line GUI upgrade: more seamless integration of command line
+editing and mouse actions.
+
+6. New, single-stage, non-modal export dialog with tabs available exporters
+(also available in lesstif).
+
+7. Import plugin: freepcb netlsit - schematics from EasyEDA can be imported
+
+8. Persistent layer colord, saved with the board. Layer colors from the
+configuration are used only as initial color for new layers.
