On the master branch in my repo (https://git.launchpad.net/~jeyjey/kicad/tree/ <https://git.launchpad.net/~jeyjey/kicad/tree/>) I have pushed the new zone algorithm, new solder mask shape generation, and new pad painting (which now is the same as the plot code).
These changes address: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/602176 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/602176> (Anti-pad area should not exclude spokes) https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1563744 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1563744> (Zone vs. Soldermask clearance collisions at corners) https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1782957 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1782957> (Pcbnew: Zone clearance inconsistency on rounded rectangle pads) If folks could test it out on some of their boards that would be great.
