[Pkg-electronics-devel] New gEDA release out (1.6.1)

[Peter Clifton]

Hi guys,

There was a new gEDA release yesterday (not announced yet), but
available here:

http://geda.seul.org/release/v1.6/1.6.1/

Hopefully it won't require a large packaging effort to make this
available, as it is only a minor release - with no SOVERSION bump for
libgeda.

It fixes various bugs, and greatly improves our translation coverage
over 1.6.0.



>From the NEWS file:

Notable changes in gEDA/gaf 1.6.1
=================================

* Added accelerator mnemonics for root menus in gschem

* Lots of updated and new language translations in libgeda, gschem, and
  gattrib.  (Courtesy of language translators and Launchpad) 

* Updated the shipped documentation from the official gEDA wiki

* Fixed the following bugs:

  - 2876373: Fix rendering with zoomed out dashed lines
  - 2901183: Fix for some manpage issues
  - 2904715: Don't update page connectivity from o_place_rotate()
