The git history is a litte muddled... When you say it's a little muddled, do you think that if it wasn't rebased constantly that the history would be clearer? I know there are good arguments both for and against rebasing, but I have to say rebasing does make it harder to keep track of history and especially to track down breakage. It also makes it nearly impossible to maintain your own branch based off the pcb+gl branch since it will constantly be diverging. I'm no git expert (I'm a Bazaar guy) but this is my understanding and experience. > Hopefully, this is easy to fix. Let me know, if I can help to locate > the bug.

I am really loving the OpenGL pcb. Thanks, Peter Clifton. The layer translucency support is worth it alone (a very functional feature), but there is more as well. Tip: Enabling antialiasing for pcb+gl. Peter C. helped me get this working and it's really nice. If you have a relatively powerful nVidia graphics card on Linux, go to the nvidia control panel (Ubuntu: System | Administration | NVIDIA X Server Settings) and choose "Antialiasing Settings" under your X screen on the left panel, then choose "Override Application Settings" and crank up the Antialiasing Settings slider to the max, or whatever level you prefer. Pcb is really beautiful with antialiasing+translucency!
