Question for me is what happens to eeschema?
For pcbnew it is maybe just adding some missing things and polishing some other, but eeschema currently has nothing in that direction.
Anybody already working on that?
Implementing GAL and the new tool framework in Eeschema is coming as
part of the current dev cycle. It wont start until after I finish up
with the Eeschema refactor. Trust me when I tell you, to do so would
not be a good idea.

Are we even still going to have legacy pcbnew at the next release?
What's the schedule for fully deprecating it?
It will not be deprecated until we have one for one feature parity
between the canvases and we can get by without it on all supported
platforms. AFAIK, Tom is working on a wxDC gal implementation which
should eliminate the second part. If this happens before the next
release, then there is no reason to continue to support the legacy canvas.
Hi,
So, the wxdc GAL is progressing, although I'm a bit stuck now with layer
ordering (in OpenGL you have Z-buffer for free, in wxDC it's a bit more
tricky to draw stuff in order and avoid sorting).
The new version will also support 'flipped' PCB mode (editing a PCB
laying upside down - quite useful for placing the component on the
bottom side of the board). I'm also simplifying the VIEW_ITEM interface
and the making the updates of the view less invasive.
Cheers,
Tom
