Re: [PATCH] new feature: adding rounded rect pads

 

Hello, Jean-Pierre and Mathias!

Thank you a lot for this feature, which I need to move
on with migrating my work over to Kicad.
I can and will take care of testing this on Linux.
Unfortunately, I am quite busy till next monday...

On which bzr/git tag is your patch supposed to apply?

Then Heads-Up:
I just realized that my editor complains that the patch
contains non-UTF-8 characters. (ISO-8859-14 seems to work
somehow) What source-code encoding do we ideally want to use?

Regards,

Clemens
