[Bert Timmerman <bert.timmerman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Users and Contributors,

This is a hot fix and bugfixes release (no pcb file format change).

This release is required as the User Manual didn't build with
ghostscript versions newer than 9.27, as these newer versions require an
additional argument:

  --permit-file-read

for input files.

pcb-4.2.2 can be downloaded from:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/pcb/files/pcb/pcb-4.2.2/

Kind regards,

The pcb development team.
