-pcb-rnd 1.0.10
+pcb-rnd 1.1.0
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-1.0.10 is the fourth phase of the large scale cleanup started at 1.0.7. This
-release focuses on getting on with modularization, replacing the resource
-infrastructure and replacing the MenuEntry code for libraries.
 
-In modularization, more code moved from core to plugins, including all
-HIDs, shorthand comands and the report action. The whole footprint
-listing and loading has been outsourced into a plugin, fp_fs. An
-alternative footprint plugin, fp_wget implements gedasymbols.org
-integration.
+Fifth phase of the large scale cleanup, featuring a full rewrite of the
+configuration setting system: there's no separate settings, preferences,
+color files, every runtime configuration is part of a structured,
+orthogonal system. This introduces a few features, like per .pcb
+color map, saving and restoring window layout per user or even per design.
 
-Resource files have been replaced with lihata files. This removes a
-custom, domain-specific minilanguage from pcb code in favor of a more
-generic, still small container format. As a side effect it is now
-possible to use multi-key hotkeys in gtk and bind multiple hotkeys to
-the same menu item. By the time the new version provided the same
-functionality plus multikey in gtk, it was more than 300 lines smaller
-than the original version.
+Beside the conf rewrite, the new release features a lot of dead-code removal,
+compiler warnign cleanup and code simplification all over the place.
 
-The library code rewrite allows footprint libraries to be generic trees
-of arbitrary depth (the original code allowed only 2 levels). This is
-essential for displaying more complex library structuers (such
-gedasymbols.org) but also helped cleaning up special cases from the
-code.
+The build system and portability got some care too, pcb-rnd should compile
+on Mac OS X out of the box. On Linux, pcb-rnd builds succesfully with Motif
+installed instead of lesstif. Build dependencies are relaxed: no m4,
+no bison and no yacc required.
 
-Changing HIDs on the fly alreayd works partially: it's possible to switch
-between gtk and lesstif once in a session. The limitation comes from
-gtk's broken design and will be worked around in a later release.
+The library can be rescanned without restarting pcb-rnd.
+
+The file format is moved into a plugin called io_pcb; alternative
+native file format plugins are possible now.
+
+There's no artificial restriction on the number of styles; styles
+can be created on the fly. All styles are saved and loaded properly.
