-pcb-rnd 2.1.3
+pcb-rnd 2.1.4
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-This release of pcb-rnd focuses on the hidlib effort. Hidlib is a reusable
-library that contains the HID plugins of pcb-rnd and a few essential
-infrastructural parts of core (the action infra, the tool infra, compatibility
-and safe FS infra, units and pcb-printf).
+This release improves on the infrastructure (installable hidlib, gtk
+internals simplified) and upgrades user scripting support. Beside
+these main targets a lot of bugs got fixed and a several smaller features
+got implemented.
 
-Using the hidlib it will be possible to easily write 3rd party applications
-that share the basic infrastructure and HID plugins with pcb-rnd.
-
 Feature highlight:
 
-1. hidlib: removed all custom dialogs from the gtk HID and reimplemented them
-   in the dialogs plugin.
+1. scripting anywhere: AWK (fawk), BASIC (fbas) and Pascal (fpas) scripting
+   using the libfawk minilib, without any external dependency
 
-2. hidlib: the common-for-all-HIDs lib plugin got split, the PCB-related
-   parts moved out because they are not used in 3rd party applications.
+2. full buffer content save and load (in lihata)
 
-3. hidlib: toolbar generalization; the toolbar is loaded from the menu file
-   and plugins can register new tools with custom toolbar icon and
-   mouse cursor shape.
+3. a new option for saving all buffer subcircuits as a library
 
-4. hidlib: top window of both gtk and lesstif HIDs are built using docked
-   DAD dialogs; this affects the toolbar, the overhead readouts, the layer
-   selector, the rotuing style widget and the bottom status line.
+4. the mark (placed with {a m}) is not changed by pcb-rnd as side effect
+   of drawing operations
 
-4. io_kicad: version 4 files are loaded almost flawlessly; started to load
-   version 5 files, most common features should work without problem.
+5. converted pcblib (both static and parametric footprints) to lihata;
+   new, global parameters: pad_mask_ratio pad_mask_offs, pad_mask_offs,
+   pin_mask_offs, pad_mask_ratio, pin_mask_ratio
 
-5. File selection dialog: per format detailed options on 'save as'.
+6. noexport attribute to inhibit objects from exporting with specific
+   exporters or in general
 
-6. More board data access and manipulation actions, mainly for scripting.
+7. first working windows cross-compiled version
+
+8. export code tuning, menus and documentation for the new assy layers;
+   document all the common doc layer types/purposes (including keepouts)
