gEDA: [Ann] gerbv 0.13 released

[Stefan Petersen <spe-at-NOSPAMstacken_dot_kth_dot_se>]

Hello everyone out there!

Time for the thirteenth release of the Free Gerber Viewer, aka gerbv,
the "good-luck-charm" release.

It wasn't long time ago I made a release. This is a minor bugfix release.
The bugs squashed are:
* You cannot compile with backend anymore, switch is removed. In last
  release this caused compilation error due to bit rot.
* Drawing of arcs is a constant headache. Mark Whitis found another
  case that I had missed out. Clockwise arcs all of a sudden started
  to be drawn as counter-clockwise.
* Arcs with very small angle differences could either be a complete
  circle or a very small part of an arc. Calculating the angles with
  integers wasn't sufficient, anyhow. They are now doubles all the way.
* Aperture macro primitive 1 was a _filled_ circle.
* Image rotate used to cause warnings that it wasn't implemented. Now
  if the file has an image rotate on zero degrees there is no warning
  (yes I've seen it).
* Dan McMahill discovered that if you tried to swap with an unused layer
  gerbv segfaulted.
* Peter Monta submitted patch for incremental coordinates.
* No traces of Guile left...

Thanks to all patchers and error reporters.

Comments, patches and suggestions are, as always, very welcome. We use
the bug database and feature request database available through sourceforge.
Have a look there if you curious what's going on or if you have any idea
that you think should be implemented in gerbv.

Homepage for gerbv is still http://gerbv.sourceforge.net/ where a bug database,
a feature request database, the CVS and a commit mailinglist is available.

To download gerbv goto
        http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gerbv/
and grab gerbv-0.13.tar.gz

To install the program do
1. gzip -dc gerbv-0.13.tar.gz | tar xf -
2. cd gerbv-0.13
3. ./configure
4. make install

Interesting configure options are:
--help              : Lists all options
--disable-exportpng : Disable compilation of export of PNGs
--prefix=<dir>      : Install from dir <prefix>
--with-maxfiles     : Set maximal number of files (default 20).
--enable-unit-mm    : Change default unit in status bar to mm from inch.


Best regards,
