[Nick Østergaard <oe.nick@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think I found a bug.

I made a test project with two connectors, named the nets like a+ and
a-.  Then I use the Route menu -> Differential Pair, start at one of
my pairs, that is directly south of the original pads... I expected it
to connect, but it does not. I needed to make a "kink" or cornor to
make it connect to the other end of the ratsnest.

>> Dear all,
>>
>> We've just merged the new features of the Interactive Router to the
>> product branch:
>> - Routing differential pairs (in push&shove mode too).
>> - Tuning trace length.
>> - Tuning differential pair length and skew.
>>
>> There's a video tutorial and a demo available on YouTube [1].
>>
>> The merge also includes some improvements to the selection/edit tools
>> that we've developed alongside the new router features:
>> - Snapping to the origin axes when moving (allowing to move an item
>> exactly vertically/horizontally wrt its former position)
>> - Editing footprint pad properties directly on PCB.
>> - Moving pads of a footprint directly on PCB.
>> - Opening the footprint editor for selected footprint on a PCB in GAL mode.
>> - Dragging footprints by origin, pad 1 or pad nearest the cursor.
>> - Guessing the best selection candidate instead of displaying the
>> disambiguation menu every time.
>>
>> We did our best to make sure the branch compiles and runs correctly, and
>> we'll greatly appreciate your feedback - be that bugs, feature requests
>> or suggestions for improvements. Please keep in mind this is the first
>> public release of the Diff Pairs, so some fine tuning may be needed in
>> the future.
>>
>> Many thanks to all developers, funders & users for your help and support!
>>
>> Cheers,
>> Tom & Orson
