Ok.

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.

Ahh yes, I remember that conversation now. But I am not quite sure
what the issue Adam was talking about in linux was. I mean, if it does
not change the behaivour of the default (current) behaivour it should
not be an issue IMO.

> 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.
