Hello! This is to announce the release of gerbv-2.0.1! Gerbv is an open source Gerber file (RS-274X only) viewer for Linux and other unix flavors. Besides viewing Gerbers, you may also view Excellon drill files as well as XYRS (pick-place) files. For more information, browse to gerbv's web site:
http://gerbv.sourceforge.net/ Gerbv is allied with the gEDA Project, an open-source collaborative which has produced an end-to-end tool chain for PCB design on Linux and other unices. The gEDA Project's website is here: http://geda.seul.org/ Gerbv release 2.0.1 is a bugfix release. It fixes a couple of bugs discovered in the 2.0.0 release. A couple of new features were also added in preparation for the 2.1.X releases. Here is a list of changes: * Fixed bug with #define DRAW_H. This bug manifested itself on Mac OSX platforms, but in principle would also cause problems on other architectures as well. * Added ability to re-export Gerber files from the command line. * Cleaned up the output from --help. * Incorporated code to enable Windows builds. * Program icons are hooked up for installation. Gerbv's homepage is on SourceForge: http://gerbv.sourceforge.net/. There you will find a bug database, a feature request database, the CVS repo and a commit mailinglist.
