Dear Stefan, > My GitHub user name is spe-ciellt, it's me and my company. You may add me, >but I am not sure that I can do any major work, I still feel a bit too busy. I have invited you to the GitHub organization. No pressure to do any actual work. Having you on board signals external parties that the organization is blessed by the original developers and not a hostile fork :-) > I incidentally looked at some ChangeLog files and it seems that tomorrow >(31st of August) it is exactly 20 years since the first entry in that >ChangeLog. oh we should do an anniversary release this year than! My milestones for a release are a polished Windows build (including DXF) and integrating the most obvious patches from Source Forge (especially the Altium FILE_FORMAT heuristics, since I’m bitten by that myself ^^). But this is of cause open for discussion.
