Hi, Nick

There were a couple of things that prevented me from requesting a merge.  The first was simply that it had little to no testing on other than OS X, and I wanted to get more flight time on other platforms and pointing devices to make sure it behaves well.

The other thing that I can recall is that there is some work needed on the preference for the 3d viewer and pl_editor.  If I recall correctly, there was no straightforward way to propagate the mouse preferences from pcbnew to the 3d_canvas, and there was no place at all to hang the preferences for pl_editor.  Orson and I had a very brief conversation on-list about where these prefs belong, but it wasn’t more than a passing thought.  I’m sure it these are solvable without too much drama, but it was about this time that I was pulled away from kicad by an increased workload at work and some family issues.

Since then I’ve tried to merge the product branch about once a week, but I haven’t done much more than that.  I hadn’t thought about requesting a merge simply because I wasn’t sure I’d have the time to work on it.  I can try to make some more time for this if folks think it’s important, but I can’t reliably predict the outcome.  As it stands now it should be pretty usable on OS X unless one or more of my merges went badly.  I’m using it in my builds and haven’t noticed anything, but I haven’t been exercising it as much as I’d like.
