Re: 6.0 Zone filling differences

This is another excellent test because it does some pretty weird stuff

Anyway, I’ve pushed bits that make it mostly good now.  There are
still 4 unconnected thermal sinks where it was taking advantage of a
bug which no longer exists (thermal spokes connecting to each other
rather than to the zone).

Hi Jeff-

I have another case for you. Take a look at OLIMEX's A64-OlinuXino[1]. Specifically, the HDMI connector in the top left.

On the thermal spokes issue, I'm not sure that we should consider that pad-pad connection to be a bug. Do you have a sense of the level of difficulty it would be to implement the previous behavior? I checked with a couple other packages (Altium, PADS) and this appears to be standard behavior to connect with zone fills between pads of the same net.

Best-
Seth
