Hi Wayne,

Sounds like a plan! It was already rebased on the master a bit less than
a month ago, so I don't expect huge merging conflicts. I'd suggest
rebasing it first on the top of the current master and then doing the
merge. I also found some minor drawing issues while testing around a
week ago and have no idea of someone else hasn't already fixed them:
- arcs disappear at higher zoom levels,
- 180 degree arcs in certain inductor symbols were not drawn at all,
- hierarchical labels disappear after moving (only become visible at
small zoom).

@Jeff: Would you like to do the rebase or should I do it (I'm a bit busy
this week, so can't promise any dates)?

Cheers,
Tom
