Message #31882
Tweaks to about dialog
As mentioned in previous thread, I have made some slight changes to the
About dialog.
1. Wording / link tweaks
2. Removed references to outdated links (now better served from the
kicad-pcb.org site)
3. Removed "artists" tab - very outdated, 3D models are now community
contributed
I have also added myself as a developer credit - if this is an acceptable
indulgence.
Patch attached.
Regards,
From 500378b90d8f91ab25c4a0e1bcbc4e6910f6c6a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
