Re: [RFC PATCH] Rounded rectangle pads

 

This patch changes the pcb file format.  While I'm not opposed to that,
we really should decide on a set of changes for this development cycle
and implement them in one go.  Otherwise we will have a bunch of
incompatible file formats during this dev cycle which I would like to
avoid.  The other thing that will have to be thoroughly tested is the
new gerber output.  This is extremely critical so someone will have to
pour over that with a fine tooth comb.  I consider errors in gerber
output more serious the segfaults.
