A bunch of work/changes to get "make distcheck" to work correctly (run all the

[geda-gaf/whiteaudio.git] / gnetlist / ChangeLog

2007-04-21 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/gnetlist.c: Move the "-l" command line scheme loading code to
        be *before* schematics are loaded (instead of after).

        * examples/stack_1.sch, examples/Makefile.am: Added stack example 
        schematic.

        * tests/Makefile.am, tests/runtest.sh, tests/singlenet.protel,
        tests/singlenet.protelII, tests/stack.geda, tests/stack_1.geda,
        tests/drc2/Makefile.am, tests/hierarchy/Makefile.am,
        tests/hierarchy/gnetlistrc, tests/hierarchy/gnetlistrc.hierarchy:
        Fixed the gnetlist regressions tests to work with make distcheck.

        * tests/spice-sdb/run_tests.sh: Added -I "gnetlist -g" to the 
        golden file diff to ignore the embedded command line information
        in the spice-sdb golden files.

2007-04-21 Stuart Brorson   <sdb@cloud9.net>
        * tests/spice-sdb/*  Added new spice-sdb test directory.  Then
        created test environment similar to Dan's regression tests for
        refdes_renum.
        
2007-02-20 Carlos Nieves Onega <cnieves@iespana.es>

        * scheme/gnet-allegro.scm: Fix bug #1663729.
          When writing the device files, check if 'devfiles' directory 
          exists and create it if needed.

2007-02-16 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * tests/multiequal.spice-sdb: Updated golden file to be current.

        * tests/Makefile.am, tests/drc2/Makefile.am,
        tests/hierarchy/Makefile.am: Temporarily disabled make check to
        get past make distcheck.  The rules in make tests are probably
        missing a variable specifying the source of the input files.
        make check should enabled once we figure out what is missing.

        * tests/amp.spice-sdb, tests/darlington.spice-sdb: Updated golden       
        files to be current.

2007-02-11 (later) Stuart Brorson   <sdb@cloud9.net>
        * scheme/gnet-spice-sdb.scm, scheme/gnetlist.scm: Changed 
        string-pad-right to safe-string-head per suggestion from Jeff
        Mallatt.  Added safe-string-head to gnetlist.scm.
        
2007-02-11 Stuart Brorson   <sdb@cloud9.net>
        * scheme/gnet-spice-sdb.scm: Incorporated patch from Jeff Mallatt
        enabling SPICE netlisting of slotted parts.
        
2007-02-10 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * docs/gnetlist.1, src/gnetlist.c, src/parsecmd.c: Applied patch by
        Tomaz Solc [ 1593644 ] gnetlist: use "-g help" to list available
        backends. Thanks!

        * tests/.cvsignore: Added rule to ignore all the newly generated 
        files.

        * scheme/gnet-bom.scm, scheme/gnet-bom2.scm: Applied patch to
        change "package" to "refdes" [ 1656822 ] BOM/BOM2 should use
        refdes in title line

        * tests/hierarchy/hierarchy.geda: Updated golden file due to ordering
        of output changing. 

        * src/globals.c: Removed quit_func since it is completely unused.

        * docs/gnetlist.1: Updated the man page a little for bug:
        [ 1556064 ] man page version out of date

        * tests/*.spice-sdb: Updated golden files to be current due to 
        version number update.
        
        * configure.ac: Bumped package version to 20070216.

2007-02-10 Carlos Nieves Onega <cnieves@iespana.es>

        * tests/Makefile.am, tests/drc2/Makefile.am, 
          tests/hierarchy/Makefile.am:
          When running "make check", run "make tests" too.

        * tests/drc2/Makefile.am:
          Added a pass/failed line after each test.

        * tests/drc2/.cvsignore: Added this new file.
        
        * configure.ac, tests/Makefile.am, tests/drc2/Makefile.am,
          tests/drc2/*.sch, tests/drc2/*.drc2:
          Added new regression test suite for the drc2 backend.

        * scheme/gnet-drc2.scm: Changed a (begin) to a (let ()) due to
          guile 1.8 problems. Thanks to Stuart Brorson por reporting, and
          Dean Ferreyra for pointing out the fix.

2007-02-08 19:24  Dan McMahill <danmc>

        * configure.ac, scheme/Makefile.am, scheme/gnet-gsch2pcb.scm.in: 1)
           add a new option to gsch2pcb "use-m4" for the project file or
          "--use-m4" for the command line.  By default now, gsch2pcb will
          not try to run m4 at all.  If you want the old behaviour of
          running m4, you'll have to use this option.  It seems that this
          is what most users want (no m4 involved at run time).

          2) rather than hard coding a number of paths like /usr/X11R6/lib
          and /usr/local/share into the code for places to look for PCB
          footprints, use a single default directory which is based on
          ${datadir}.  If the user wants to, they can override that with
          --with-pcb-datadir=/opt/pcb-20070204/share for example.

          3)  when searching for newlib footprints with, for example, a
          name like footprint=MY1206, match either "MY1206" or "MY1206.fp"
          so we can start having extensions on footprint files without
          needing to explicitly add the ".fp" part in the footprint=
          attribute.  All of the footprints in the pcb distribution which
          came from the m4 libraries have .fp extensions now.

          4)  add some example schematic files in the gsch2pcb example
          directory

2007-01-15 Stuart Brorson <sdb@cloud9./net>
        
        * scheme/gnet-bom.scm, scheme/gnet-bom2.scm: Added
        (use-modules (ice-9 rdelim)) fix guile-1.8 problem.

2007-01-16 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * scheme/gnet-switcap.scm: Added added (use-modules (ice-9 rdelim)) 
        to get read-line included and working.

2007-01-15 Stuart Brorson <sdb@cloud9./net>
        * scheme/gnet-spice-sdb.scm: Changed escaping for parens to fix 
        guile-1.8 bug.  Also added (use-modules (ice-9 rdelim)) to enable 
        read-line.

2007-01-07 Stuart Brorson <sdb@cloud9./net>
        * scheme/gnet-spice-sdb.scm: Added SPICE-NPN and SPICE-PNP
        to dispatch to cover cases where people had munged the transistor
        symbols.
        
2006-11-21 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * configure.ac: Fixed libgeda detection/find error message when
        the wrong libgeda version is found. (Bug reported by Karel Kulhavy;
        thanks)

2006-10-20 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * configure.ac: Bumped package version to 20061020.

        * scheme/gnet-PCB.scm: Applied patch (#1453908) by Thien-Thi Nguyen
        that cleans up / simplifies some scheme code.

2006-09-27 Carlos Nieves Onega <cnieves@iespana.es>

        * configure.ac : Applied patch #1564796 by Cesar Strauss, 
        enabling Cygwin's compilation. Thanks.
        
2006-09-24 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * AUTHORS: Updated file pointing people at gschem's AUTHOR file 
        as the complete list of authors.  Merged all listed files in this
        file into gschem's file.

2006-09-07 SDB sdb@cloud9.net>
        * scheme/gnet-gsch2pcb.scm.in:  Applied cursor patch
        from Peter Clifton. 
        
2006-09-06 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * configure.ac: Updated program version to 20060906.
        
        * src/gnetlist.c: Added CUSTOM_VERSION to all
        printfs/output/dialog boxes where VERSION is used so that it is
        easier to create custom version of gEDA/gaf.

2006-09-03 Carlos Nieves Onega <cnieves@iespana.es>

        * scheme/gnet-drc2.scm: Applied patch #1551415 from Tomas Solc.
          Some part of an error message was written in standard output 
          instead of the the output file. Thanks.
        
2006-08-31 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * configure.ac: Updated gtk+ tests to look for 2.4.x or greater.

        * src/gnetlist.c: Removed obsolete code fragment

2006-08-29 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * scheme/gnet-gsch2pcb.scm.in: Applied patch by Jeff Mallatt to
        fix gnet-gsch2pcb.scm fix m4 params bug/limit of 3.  Patch#1542726.
        Thanks.

2006-08-22 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>
        
        * scheme/Makefile.am: Added a couple files to the distclean and
        maintainerclean rules to make distcheck happy.

2006-08-21 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * README: Updated the README a little to be ready for the next
        release.

2006-08-19 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * configure.ac: Bumped version number to 20060821 in prep for the
        next gEDA/gaf release.

2006-07-04 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * tests/multiequal.spice-sdb: Updated golden file to take into
        account case change of .end

        * tests/amp.spice-sdb, tests/darlington.spice-sdb: Updated golden
        file to take into account case change of .end

        * tests/powersupply.sch, powersupply.allegro, powersupply.protelII
        powersupply.tango: Fixed invalid attribute in schematic and updated
        some golden regression files.

        * src/g_netlist.c, src/g_rc.c, src/gnetlist.c, src/i_vars.c,
        src/parsecmd.c, src/s_cpinlist.c, src/s_hierarchy.c, src/s_net.c,
        src/s_netattrib.c, src/s_netlist.c, src/s_rename.c, src/s_traverse.c,
        src/vams_misc.c: Converted all malloc/free calls to g_malloc/g_free

2006-04-22 Carlos Nieves Onega <cnieves@iespana.es>
        
        * include/globals.h, include/prototype.h, src/g_netlist.c, 
          src/g_register.c, src/globals.c, s_netlist.c, s_traverse.c:
          Build a netlist of graphical objects. This feature enables
          using directives in the schematic.
        
        * scheme/gnet-drc2.scm: 
            - Added support for NoConnection and DontCheckPintypes directives.
            - Changed the drc connection matrix. Now an unknown pin doesn't 
              generate an error, and it can drive a net.
            - Added report for pins without the 'pintype' attribute.
            - Display the pins when reporting a net with only one connection.
        
2006-04-11 Carlos Nieves Onega <cnieves@iespana.es>

        * scheme/gnet-spice-sdb.scm: Changed .END and .ENDS cards to lowercase.
        This fixes bug 1442912.

2006-04-05 Carlos Nieves Onega <cnieves@iespana.es>

        * scheme/gnet-drc2.scm: Fixed parenthesis mismatch in 
        function drc2:check-slots. 
        Thanks to David Logan for reporting the bug.

2006-03-12 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * lib/system-gnetlistrc.in: Removed load for the system-gafrc file,
        since it is loaded by libgeda first.

2006-03-10 Stuart Brorson <sdb [AT] cloud9 [DOT] net>
        * scheme/gnet-spice-sdb.scm: Added "m" attribute to PMOS and NMOS
        transistors per request of Peter Kaiser. 
        
2006-03-06 Carlos Nieves Onega <cnieves@iespana.es>

        * src/g_netlist.c: Return 'pwr' when getting pintype of a hidden
        pin. Thanks to Holger Oehm for providing the patch.
        
2006-03-03 Stuart Brorson <sdb [AT] cloud9 [DOT] net>
        * configure.ac, parsecmd.c: introduced getopt_long to enable
        parsing of long command line flags.  Had to change configure.ac
        to support looking for getopt.h instead of unistd.h.
        
2006-03-02 Carlos Nieves Onega <cnieves@iespana.es>

        * scheme/gnet-drc2.scm: Don't check pintypes of net "NoConnection".
        Thanks to Holger Oehm for reporting the bug and providing a patch.     
        
2006-02-28 Carlos Nieves Onega <cnieves@iespana.es>

        * scheme/gnet-drc2.scm: Added netname in the output message 
        when checking pintype connections. 
        Thanks to Holger Oehm for providing the patch. 
        
2006-02-05 Werner Hoch  <werner.ho@gmx.de>
        * scheme/gnet-spice.scm: cccs, ccvs, vccs and vcvs replacement uses
        a dash "-" in the name of vsens replacement, ngspice doesn't like that

2006-01-22 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * autogen.sh, m4/guile.m4, src/Makefile.am: Removed m4 files since 
        they are installation specifc.  Also, all required libraries should be
        coming from LIBGEDA_LDFLAGS.

        * tests/*: Updated some of the spice regression tests to have the
        correct spice-sdb version

2006-01-16 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * configure.ac: Bumped package version to 20060123

        * README: Updated for the new year and release.

2006-01-15 Carlos Nieves Onega <cnieves@iespana.es>
        * scheme/gnet-drc2.scm: Changed error message to be more 
        self-explaining.
        
2006-01-07 Carlos Nieves Onega <cnieves@iespana.es>
        * scheme/gnet-drc2.scm: Added missing 'passive' in the 
        pintype-full-names list, and changed the pintype error/warning 
        message to something more self-explaining.
        
2006-01-07 Stuart Brorson <sdb AT cloud9 DOT net>
        *  configure.ac, src/Makefile.am:  Changed automake stuff
        to explicitly look for guile, and then link to it.

        *  autogen.sh, m4/guile.m4:  Added local guile macros.
        
2006-01-04 Stuart Brorson <sdb@cloud9.net>
        *  src/g_netlist.c, src/s_net.c, scheme/gnet-drc2.scm
        scheme/gnetlist.scm, scheme/gnet-systemc.scm, 
        scheme/gnet-vams.scm, scheme/gnet-verilog.scm
        scheme/gnet-vhdl.scm:  Modified code to emit
        "unconnected_pin-<number>" to fix bug noticed by John Doty.
        Besides modifying s_net.c to achieve this, I had to change
        the strcmp fcn in many files to a strncmp fcn to compare only
        the first 15 chars against "unconnected_pin".  Added strncmp?
        to scheme/gnetlist.scm to do this for Scheme backends.

        *  scheme/gnet-spice-sdb.scm:  Fix bug discovered by John Doty: 
        spice-IO pins with refdes greater than P9 were sorted 
        incorrectly (as strings).  Now they are sorted as numbers.
        
2005-12-28 Carlos Nieves Onega <cnieves@iespana.es>
        * src/g_netlist: Dereferenced return value of scm_c_module_lookup,
        which is passed to scm_sort_list_x.
        Fixed long standing bug that produces a "Wrong type argument in
        position 1: #<variable 8059240 binding: #<primitive-procedure <=>>" 
        error when running gnetlist.
        Thanks to Neal Baer and James Cotton for the bug report, and also
        to Patrick Bernaud for the solution.    

2005-11-27 Carlos Nieves Onega <cnieves@iespana.es>
        * src/globals.c: Added setting of load_newer_backup_func to NULL.
        It is needed now libgeda checks for autosave backup files when
        opening a schematic.
        
2005-09-27 18:44  Dan McMahill <danmc>

        * configure.ac: check for strings.h for rindex

2005-09-27 18:43  Dan McMahill <danmc>

        * src/s_hierarchy.c: remove various compiler warnings

2005-09-11 Stuart Brorson <sdb@cloud9.net>

        * gnet-spice-sdb.scm: Incorporated patch from Paul Bunyk enabling
        netlisting of Josephson junctions and other magnetic devices.

2005-08-19 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * configure.ac: Bumped the package version to 20050820 which will be
        a real snapshot.

2005-08-16 22:54  Dan McMahill <danmc>

        * configure.ac, scheme/Makefile.am, scheme/gnet-PCBboard.scm,
          scheme/gnet-PCBboard.scm.in, scheme/gnet-gsch2pcb.scm,
          scheme/gnet-gsch2pcb.scm.in: - use the M4 program discovered at
          configure time as the default for m4 in the PCB backends.

          - use the PCB directories from configure time as the defaults in
          the PCB backends.  These can still be changed with
          --with-pcbm4dir and --with-pcbconfdir.  As usual, they can be
          changed at runtime with the gsch2pcb project file, but hopefully
          this gets things nominally right by default.

2005-08-15 10:12  Dan McMahill <danmc>

        * configure.ac: Search for a m4 to use.  Will be used by the pcb
          netlisters.

2005-08-14 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/gnetlist.c: Applied patch by Carlos Azevedo which moves the
        chdir after s_traverse since it might change the directory as well.

        * src/s_rename.c: Applied patch by Carlos Azevedo which 
        re-implements the rename structures to be completely dynamic.

        * tests/*: Re-copied golden test files to be current with sdb
        version changes.

        * configure.ac: Updated package version to 20050814.  This is a 
        temporary version and not a real release number.

        * scheme/gnet-gsch2pcb.scm: Oops accidentally removed an id tag.

2005-08-02 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * scheme/gnet-gsch2pcb.scm: Update to Bill Wilson's gsch2pcb version
        1.5.

2005-06-12 Stuart Brorson <sdb@cloud9.net>
        * scheme/gnet-spice-sdb.scm: Changed order of writing out 
        netlist and .model/.subckt cards to facilitate use of 
        numparam with ngspice.
        
2005-05-16 Stuart Brorson <sdb@cloud9.net>

        * include/globals.h, src/globals.c, src/parsecmd.c:
        Incorporated new -e command line flag which forces embedding
        of .include file's contents into SPICE netlist.

2005-05-16 Stuart Brorson <sdb@cloud9.net>

        * scheme/gnet-spice-sdb.scm: Modified so that .include
        doesn't embedd the included file's contents in the SPICE
        netlist by default.

2005-03-16 Stuart Brorson <sdb@cloud9.net>

        * scheme/gnet-spice-sdb.scm: fix typo in CCCS.  Now usage of 
        Vsense is harmonized.

2005-03-13 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * configure.ac: Removed all tests for gtk+ 1.2.x and fixed error 
        message if gtk+ 2.2.x is not found.

2005-03-08 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * configure.ac: Bumped version to 20050313

2005-03-06 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/gnetlist.c: Fixed code to allow user to specify absolute 
        filenames on the command line again.

        * tests/*: Updated more golden regression files to take into
        account the package reordering changes.

2005-02-23 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * tests/*, examples/switcap/example.scn: Updated regression golden
        files to take into account the package reordering that has
        occurred because the various guile/gnetlist routines were either
        replaced or rewritten.  No netlist errors detected, just some
        of the packages were showing up in a different order in the various
        netlist formats.

2005-02-22  Carlos Nieves Onega <cnieves@iespana.es>

        * configure.ac, src/gnetlist.c: Removed call to gtk_init().
          GDK is now initialized in libgeda if it's a non-graphical app.

2005-02-21 03:09  Dan McMahill <danmc>

        * src/gnetlist.c: fix some format string/type mismatch bugs

2005-02-20 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * scheme/gnet-spice.scm: Removed string by request from the original
        author.

2005-02-20  Patrick Bernaud  <b-patrick@wanadoo.fr>

        * src/gnetlist.c (main_prog): Adapted for new logging system.

2005-02-19  Carlos Nieves Onega <cnieves@iespana.es>

        * src/globals.c: Added definition of picture_draw_func after 
        adding picture support to libgeda.
        
        * configure.ac, src/gnetlist.c: Added call to gtk_init() 
          since gdk-pixbuf needs it if called.    

2005-02-16 Carlos Nieves Onega <cnieves@iespana.es>

        * scheme/gnet-bom.scm, scheme/gnet-bom2.scm, scheme/gnet-redac.scm:
          Use stdout if the output filename is "-".

2005-02-14  Patrick Bernaud  <b-patrick@wanadoo.fr>

        * src/g_netlist.c (g_get_packages): Added two lines missing after 
        yesterday rewrite.

2005-02-13  Patrick Bernaud  <b-patrick@wanadoo.fr>

        * src/g_netlist.c (g_get_packages): Rewritten to use a GLib hash 
        table instead of the libgeda s_scratch code.
        (g_get_non_unique_packages): Cleaned up.

2005-02-12 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/gnetlist.c: Added a chdir back to the starting directory
        after all the rc files and schematics are loaded.  This is done
        so that the output files from gnetlist go into the expected
        directory instead of some other schematic directory.  This allows
        "make tests" in gnetlist/tests to work again.

        * src/gnetlist.c: Changed the size of the cwd directory to be
        MAXPATHLEN (the correct size).

2005-02-11 Carlos Nieves Onega <cnieves@iespana.es>

        * scheme/gnet-drc2.scm: Use stdout if the output filename is "-".
          Updated documentation showing this behaviour.

2005-02-11  Patrick Bernaud  <b-patrick@wanadoo.fr>

        * src/gnetlist.c (main_prog): Adapted for new toplevel and page APIs
        in libgeda.
        
2005-02-08 Carlos Nieves Onega <cnieves@iespana.es>

        * scheme/gnet-drc2.scm:
          Use a parameter instead of the quiet mode of gnetlist so 
          gnetlist doesn't return a non-zero value when there are only
          warnings. This parameter is 'ignore-warnings-in-return-value'.
        
2005-02-08 Carlos Nieves Onega <cnieves@iespana.es>

        * include/globals.h, src/globals.c, src/g_netlist.c, 
          src/parsecmd.c, src/gnetlist.c: 
          Added '-O' option allowing to pass parameters to the backend.
        
2005-02-04 23:14  danmc

        * configure.ac, src/g_netlist.c, src/g_rc.c, src/g_register.c,
          src/globals.c, src/gnetlist.c, src/i_vars.c, src/parsecmd.c,

          src/s_traverse.c, src/vams_misc.c, utils/mk_verilog_syms.c: add
          support for Electric Fence debugging, enabled by --enable-efence,
          and dmalloc debugging, enabled by --enable-dmalloc.  Both are off
          by default.

2005-02-04  Patrick Bernaud  <b-patrick@wanadoo.fr>

        * src/g_netlist.c, src/gnetlist.c, src/i_vars.c:
        * src/parsecmd.c, src/s_hierarchy.c, src/s_netattrib.c:
        * src/s_netlist.c, src/s_traverse.c: Replaced u_basic_strdup() and 
        u_basic_strdup_multiple() by GLib functions.
        
        * src/gnetlist.c: Made it use GLib's G_DIR_SEPARATOR* instead of 
        libgeda's *_SEPARATER_*.

2005-02-03 12:49  danmc

        * scheme/: gnet-PCB.scm, gnet-PCBboard.scm, gnet-allegro.scm,

2005-02-01  Patrick Bernaud  <b-patrick@wanadoo.fr>

        * src/g_netlist.c: Switched to the new scm interface of guile.

2005-01-29  Patrick Bernaud  <b-patrick@wanadoo.fr>

        * src/gnetlist.c (gnetlist_quit): Adapted for new component library
        code.

2005-01-28 Dan McMahill <dan at mcmahill dot net>

        * scheme/: gnet-futurenet2.scm, gnet-pads.scm, gnet-switcap.scm:
          use the new gnetlist:build-refdes-aliases and
          gnetlist:alias-refdes functionality to do a better job of
          restricting reference designators in the output netlist to ones
          which are valid for this netlist type.

2005-01-28 Dan McMahill <dan at mcmahill dot net>

        * scheme/gnetlist.scm: Add gnetlist:build-refdes-aliases,
          gnetlist:alias-refdes, and gnetlist:unalias-refdes functions.
          These are used to deal with target netlist refdes requirements
          which may be more restrictive than gschem/gnetlist.  A backend
          uses these by calling gnetlist:build-refdes-aliases at the
          beginning of netlisting and then gnetlist:alias-refdes whenever
          printing out the refdes.

          While here add missing RCS Id.

2005-01-27 Stuart Brorson   <sdb@cloud9.net>

        * src/gnetlist.c: Changes made to enable correct opening
        of schematics in foreign directories.  Changes detailed in libgeda
        ChangeLog.
        
2005-01-23 Carlos Nieves Onega <cnieves@iespana.es>

2005-01-22 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/s_traverse.c: Added a output message if a component is missing
        its symbol file.

2005-01-22 Carlos Nieves Onega <cnieves@iespana.es>

        * src/g_register.c, src/g_netlist.c, include/prototype.h: 
        Added function g_get_non_unique_packages so backends 
        can get a non-unique list of packages. Useful for DRC checking.

        * src/g_netlist.c: g_get_slots and g_get_unique_slots functions: 
        If a package has no slots attribute, then assume it's using slot 1.

        * src/gnetlist.c: Remind the user to check the schematic
        has no errors using drc2 backend. 

        (above patch applied by Stuart Brorson)
        
2004-12-28 Stuart Brorson   <sdb@cloud9.net>

        * lib/system-gnetlistrc: Changed to refer to system-gafrc instead
        of system-commonrc

        * docs/gnetlist.1: Added information on -s (from the usage of 
        gnetlist)

        * tests/*.spice-sdb: Update various regression files with the new
        output from spice-sdb

2004-12-27 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * configure.ac: Updated version to 20041228

2004-08-23 SDB   <sdb@cloud9.net>

        * Added fcns to pass the invoking command line to the Scheme backend
        as a string.  This allows the invoking command to be placed into
        a SPICE netlist in the first line.  Affected files:
        src/g_register.c, parsecmd.c, globals.c, g_netlist.c, gnetlist.c
        include/globals.h prototype.h

2004-08-17 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * scripts/Makefile.am: Removed gschem2pcb from bin_SCRIPTS, as
        gsch2pcb is now the prefered tool.

2004-07-07 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * scheme/gnet-spice-sdb.scm: Added Stuart's latest backend
        
        * tests/*: Updated some of the golden files to take into account
        version change string in new spice-sdb backend.

2004-07-03 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * include/i_vars.h, prototype.h, src/g_rc.c, g_register.c,
        gnetlist.c, i_vars.c: Removed a whole bunch of rc related code.
        The removed code was moved into libgeda.

        * configure.ac: Updated version to 20040710
        
2004-02-08 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/s_traverse.c: Fixed a broken comment (broken by indent)

        his new net aliasing (modification) code.

        * docs/gnetlist.1: Spent a little time updating the man page with
        at least the current list of backends and all the new command line
        flags.

        * tests/gnetlistrc.vhdl, tests/Makefile.am: Added vhdl only
        gnetlistrc.  This was required because the vhdl library was
        removed from system-commonrc, so this rc file has to put it back.
        The gnetlistrc.vhdl file is copied to gnetlistrc before any vhdl
        test is run and then the gnetlistrc file is removed.

2004-01-03 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * scheme/gnet-gsch2pcb.scm: Upgraded to Bill Wilson's latest

        use the new net name modification scheme functions.

        * tests/powersupply.pads, tests/singlenet.pads: Updated golden files
        to be current (take into the changes Dan's patches made to the 
        PADS backend)

        backend is for driving RF Cascade (http://rfcascade.sourceforge.net)
        Thanks!

        * scheme/gnet-redac.scm: Added Racal Redac format backend by 
        W. Kazubski.  This format is also used by Cadstar PCB software
        (at least up to version 4.30 for DOS  Thanks!

        * scripts/gschem2pcb: Applied a patch by Christopher K Eveland to
        fix a condition where gschem2pcb was picking up a pin when it 
        should not.  I don't know if this fix is correct, but somebody 
        will complain if it breaks gschem2pcb.  Thanks for the bug fix!

2004-01-01 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * configure.ac: Added --with-docdir command line flag as well all

        into the documentation directory.  Also added commands to
        generate an html version of the man page.  This html man page
        gets installed into the documentation directory.

        * docs/vams/Makefile.am: Added code to install all the text files
        for the VAMS backend into the documentation directory.

        * src/Makefile.am, docs/gnetlist.1: Moved man page from the src
        directory into the docs directory.

        * docs/gnetlist.1: Minor updates and fixes.

2003-12-31 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * scheme/gnet-spice-sdb.scm: Updated this backend to version
        12.29.2003.c

        * tests/amp.spice-sdb, darlington.spice-sdb: Updated golden files
        to the new spice-sdb backend version (version and spaces at the end
        of certain lines).  

        * tests/multiequal.sch, multiequal.spice-sdb: Added tests
        to make sure that attributes that have multiple equal signs netlist

        * src/g_netlist.c: Integrated new file from Stuart.  This file 
        improved some slot related error reporting and added
        "include_mode" to g_get_calling_flags().

        * src/globals.c, parsecmd.c, include/globals.h: Integrated changes 
        from Stuart.  Added the -I command line flag.

        * scheme/gnetlist.scm: Integrated changes from Stuart.  This
        included a whole bunch of useful scheme functions for dealing with

        * configure.ac: Added checks for gtk+ 2.2.x and 1.2.x.  This was
        needed since the HAS_GTK22 will start to be used in libgeda includes.

2003-11-20 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * include/i_vars.h, src/g_rc.c, src/i_vars.c, src/g_register.c,

        gnet-partslist2.scm, gnet-partslist3.scm: Applied Stuart's 
        changes to these files.  Stuart just added the footprint attribute
        to the output.

        * src/s_netattrib.c: Per a user's complaint, fixed the 
        "Got an invalid net= attribute" to be a little more verbose.

2003-10-22 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/gnetlist.1: Fixed wrong command line option (-r is not a 
        valid option).  Pointed out by Stuart.

        * tests/hierarchy/*.sch *.sym: Updated to the latest sch/sym file
        format.

2003-10-19 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/vams_misc.c: Fixed up a call to o_attrib_get_name_value to
        use the new function signature.

        * examples/*.sch, tests/*.sch: Updated schematic files to 20030901

        * scheme/Makefile.am, scheme/gnet-gsch2pcb.scm: Added new PCB helper
        backend written by Bill Wilson 

2003-08-24 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * scripts/gschem2pcb: Moved script into this directory from src/

        * configure.ac: Bunch of cleanup to start using pkg-config for all
        libraries.  Unfortunately, gnetlist now links against libgtk*.  I 
        might fix that in the future.

        drc2 backend.  Thanks.

        * src/g_netlist.c: Renamed the newly added guile functions a little.
        (removed the "*used-of-package" string; just for consistancy with
         the other guile functions).

2003-06-14 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * include/globals.h, src/globals.c, src/gnetlist.c,
        src/parsecmd.c: Applied Carlos Nieves Onega's -l load scheme

        * configure.in, docs/Makefile.am, docs/README.switcap, 
        examples/Makefile.am, examples/switchcap/, scheme/Makefile.am,
        scheme/gnet-switchcap, scripts/Makefile.am, scripts/sw2asc.in: 
        Integrated Dan McMahill's switcap backend

        * scheme/Makefile.am, scheme/gnet-spice-sdb.scm, src/gnetlist.c:
        Integrated Stuart Brorson's advanced spice backend.

        * tests/: added some regression tests for the new backends

        Fixed a "footprint" which really should have stayed at "pattern".

        * configure.in: Changed -fnative-struct to -mms-bitfields for 
        gcc 3.2 mingw compiler (older mingw compilers are no longer 
        supported)

        * Makefile.am: Fixed the distclean-local target.

2002-12-29 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * scripts/annotate.sh, unannotate.sh: Oops, forgot to change a bunch
        of uref= attributes to refdes=.  These scripts now work.

2002-11-30 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * lib/system-gnetlistrc.in: Changed the variable names which hold
        the paths to the data and rc directories.

        * scheme/gnet-partslist[1|2|3].scm: Fixed another bug reported by
        Koichi Nagashima (via debian bugs) where the common partslist scm
        file wasn't being found if --with-rcdir was specified (as the 
        debian packages do).

        * examples/vams/*.sym|sch: Ran gsymupdate/gschupdate on all vams
        example files

        within gschem to work.

2002-11-23 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * scheme/gnet-partslist[1,2,3].scm: Fixed bug reported by Koichi
        Nagashima (via Debian bugs).  There was a load in the file which

2002-09-22 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * configure.in: Bumped version to 20020922, which is NOT a release.

2002-09-16 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/Makefile.am: Removed s_project.c from the list of source
        files.  This functionality is now provided by libgeda

        * tests/*: Updated test output to take into account the changes
        that Werner Hoch has been making to the symbol library.

        * src/i_var.c: header comment update

        * src/s_project.c: Obsoleted file.  This file is no longer in use.

        used by libgeda and gnetlist.
        
2002-09-11 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * scheme/gnet-bom.scm, gnet-bom2.scm, gnet-drc.scm,  
          gnet-partslist1.scm, gnet-partslist2.scm,
          gnet-partslist3.scm: Added a missing `close-output-port' to
          each of these backends.  Output would not be written to the port

        * src/s_traverse.c, s_net.c: Added back some code to search for 
        the label= attribute.  Users should not use the label= attribute 
        anymore.  Also, gnetlist prints out a warning message if it finds
        an old label= attribute.

        * src/g_netlist.c: Removed an obsolete function.

        * src/s_traverse.c, s_net.c, utils/mk_verilog_syms.c: Changed all 
        user visible references of uref to refdes

        script a lot more portable (replacing long options with short ones,
        gawk->awk, bash->sh)

        * src/s_project.c: Disabled all the draw events as gnetlist doesn't
        do any drawing

        * examples/*.sch, tests/*.sch: Updated sch to use the new netname= 
        attribute instead of label= (which is now obsolete)

        * lib/system-gschemrc.in, src/g_rc.c: Changed
        net-naming-priority parameters to start moving away from label= and
        instead start using netname=

        * src/g_netlist.c, g_register.c: Renamed
        gnetlist:get-pin-attribute to gnetlist:get-attribute-by-pinseq
        
        * src/g_netlist.c, g_register.c: Renamed
        gnetlist:get-pin-attribute2 to gnetlist:get-attribute-by-pinnumber

        * scheme/gnet-gossip.scm, gnet-spice.scm, gnet-vams.scm, 
        gnet-vhdl.scm, gnet-vipec.scm: Updated based on above renames

        * src/s_traverse.c, s_net.c: Renamed all instances of label= 
        to netname=

2002-07-06 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>
        
        * configure.in, Makefile.am: Upgraded to automake 1.6.2

2002-07-05 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * lib/system-gnetlistrc.in: Fixed the load of the commonrc file to 
        work with --with-rcdir again.

        * src/g_netlist.c, g_register.c: Renamed gnetlist:get-pin-attribute
        to gnetlist:get-pin-attribute2

        * src/g_netlist.c, g_register.c: Renamed 
        gnetlist:get-pin-attribute-seq to gnetlist:get-pin-attribute

        * scheme/gnet-gossip.scm, gnet-spice.scm, gnet-vams.scm,
        gnet-vhdl.scm, gnet-vipec.scm: Update code to reflect above renames

2002-06-21 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/s_hierarchy.c: Updated all u_basic_breakup_string calls

2002-06-20 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/s_rename.c: Added patch by Bryce Denney to fix an infinite loop
        caused by changing a for index inside of the loop (not a good idea).
        Patch also added a check to make sure we don't exceed a fixed limit
        of rename pairs. Thanks for the patch!

        * src/s_net.c, s_traverse.c: Replaced the
        o_attribute_search_name_partial nonsense with the new scheme.  
        gnetlist now builds again.

        * src/g_netlist.c, g_register.c: Added g_get_pin_attribute_seq
        scheme function.  This function takes a uref, a pin seq number, and
        a desired attribute and returns the value of the desired attribute
        (if it is found), else returns "unknown".

        * scheme/gnet-spice.scm: Started the cleanup in getting the spice
        backend to use the new slot/pin numbering attributes.  Initial
        tests seem to indicate that it does work for very basic
        schematics.

        * scheme/gnet-vipec.scm: Minor work on getting this working too.
        
2002-06-09 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        bitmap-directory keyword

        * src/Makefile.am: Added proto target (for making prototype.h)

        * src/g_rc.c: A few more fixes for the mingw32 port.

2002-04-08 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/g_rc.c: Missed a few hardcoded /'s, fixed.

        * configure.in: Changed the function which is search for libpng.
        This was needed for the win32 port.

2002-04-03 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * configure.in and friends: More work on getting the upgrade of 
        autoconf, automake, and libtool to behave correctly.

        * configure.in: Added PATHSEP variable which holds the proper path
        separater depending on the platform.

        * lib/system-*.in: Work on getting rc files to use above variable.

2002-04-01 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * configure.in: Added -liberty for the Mingw32 port

        * src/g_rc.c: Used new path separater #defines in a few
        sprintf/u_strdup_multiple

        * configure.in and friends: Upgraded to autoconf 2.53, libtool 1.5,
        and automake 1.5.  Lots of changes in various places for this upgrade.

2002-02-24 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * configure.in, config.h.in: Added a few checks for some
        non-portable #includes
        
        * configure.in: Added checks for mingw32 and disabled the
        cygwin port
        
2002-02-18 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/Makefile.am utils/Makefile.am: Andrew Dyer found a GUILE_* bug. 
        Fixed.

        * configure.in: Removed all trace of GUILE_LIB and GUILE_INCLUDE

2002-02-09 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/s_project.c: Made sure to init show_hidden_text to 0.
        
2002-01-27 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>
        
        * scheme/gnet-PCBboard.scm: put in the fix from Rich Walker about
          pcb not finding certain components.  Also seems to fix the space
          problem in the footprint attribute.

2002-01-08 Stefan Petersen   <spe@geda.seul.org>

        * scheme/gnet-pads.scm, scheme/gnet-PCB.scm : 
          display-connections functions rewritten to non-recursive since
          it caused guile stack overflow when the schematics grew very big.

2002-01-07 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * scheme/gnet-maxascii.scm:  Checked in new backed by Dave Lawrence

2001-07-26 Stefan Petersen   <spe@geda.seul.org>

        * scheme/gnetlist.scm, scheme/gnet-pads.scm, scheme/gnet-PCB.scm:
          gnetlist:wrap now accepts character(s) to terminate line with.
          Suggested by Roger Williams <roger@coelacanth.com> since PADS
          didn't like lines ending with \.
        
2001-07-22 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * configure.in, src/gnetlist.c, src/g_rc.c: Cleanup and added the
          ability to have the rc files in a different location using
          --with-rcdir (was broken recently, now fixed)

        * configure.in: Fixed all the LDFLAGS to be correct (and only link
          the libraries once)

        * configure.in: Bumped up version to 20010722

        * configure.in: More updates to get cygwin to build right

        * src/Makefile.am: Changed the order in which things are linked
          (guile last)

2001-03-17 Ales Hvezda   <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>
        
        * Got make dist and make distcheck working (means all files which are
          in CVS are in some Makefile)

        * configure.in, acconfig.h: unfortunately libgdgeda and stroke are
          required for linking, so they MUST be inside these files

        * configure.in: Added DATADIR instead of PACKAGE

2001-03-06  Stefan Petersen  <spe@geda.seul.org>

        * configure.in, acconfig.h: In the spirit of yesterday I removed
          every trace of stroke and libgdgeda.

          gesym-config are the right version

2001-03-01  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/*.c: Misc -Wall warnings cleaned up
          Part of this cleanup found some warnings which could have lead
          to core dumper bugs.

        * tests/Makefile.am: Fixed location of my test schematics

        * tests/amp_1.spice: Updated regression test to take into account
          Bas' latest spice backend changes
        
2001-02-25  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/s_netattrib.c: Added some if (... == NULL) checks to prevent
          some core dumps (original bug pointed out by Wolfgang Buesser)

        * scheme/gnet-spice.scm: Integrated Bas Gieltjes' latest changes
          to his netlist backend

2001-02-23  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/s_hierarchy.c: Fixed the nasty bug which was caused by my
          replacing the rc system to be like gschem.  Basically schematics
          were being loaded so that there was only ONE copy in memory at 
          all times.  This is not how gnetlist works.  Each hierarchical
          schematic must be uniq in memory.  Fixed it by changing
          libgeda's s_hierarchy_down_schematic_single to take a normal
          or force flag.
        
2001-02-17  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/s_traverse.c: Got all the traverse functions to use the new
          connection system

        * src/g_rc.c, i_vars.c: Replaced rc system to be almost exactly
          the same as gschem's

        * lib/system-gnetlistrc.in: Updates to this file to take into
          account about changes

        * include/i_vars.h: Updated file to take into account above
          changes
        
2001-01-30  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/s_traverse.c: Fixed the graphical=1 test so that the 
          outside of the component is also looked at for this attribute

2001-01-27  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/s_rename.c: Due to a bug in how the s_rename_* routines are
          being used, you cannot get the renamed names, added code to properly
          mux several sets of rename pairs.

        * src/s_hierarchy.c: Changed the s_rename_destroy to use 
          s_rename_next_set (instead of destroying, go to the next set)

        * src/gnetlist.c: Changed s_rename_destroy to s_rename_destroy_all

        * tests/netattrib_1*: Added a test schematic and valid netlist to 
          the tests

2001-01-26  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/s_net.c, s_rename.c: More work on getting the rename of two
          same named nets working.

2001-01-25  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/s_net.c: Added some code which will rename nets which are
          named twice.  This code needs to be examined again to make sure
          this is the right way of doing this.

2001-01-17  Stefan Petersen  <spe@geda.seul.org>

        * scheme/gnet-bom.scm, scheme/gnet-bom2.scm: Improved the
          parseconfig procedure. More stable(?) and more PC.
        
2001-01-15  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/s_cpinlist.c: Fixed core dumper when pin doesn't have
          the required pin#=# attributed. (Pointed out by Matt, fixed by
          Stefan)

2000-12-22  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * scheme/gnet-vams.scm: Fixed a minor bug which was uncovered by
          Stefan's stricter error checking in g_netlist.c

2000-12-14  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * tests/*: removed some tests since they put version information
          into the files which caues the tests to fail.

        * tests/*: Added some more very simple tests (using singlenet_1.sch)

2000-12-17  Stefan Petersen  <spe@geda.seul.org>

        * src/gnetlist.c: Changed the repl to Guile built in one. Better
          error handling, work like Guile and so on.

        * src/g_netlist.c, src/vams_misc.c: Added inparameter check on all 
          Guile routines (SCM_ASSERT(...)).
        
2000-12-14  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * examples/vams/gschemrc: Added one line suggested by Stefan to get
          the keymapping stuff working 100% with keymap redefinition.

2000-12-13  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * configure.in: Added -lregex for CYGWIN32 build

2000-12-12  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * scheme/gnet-vams.scm: Finally found the time to finish getting this
          backend working with guile 1.4 (using the fixes Eduard provided)

        * src/s_traverse.c: Renamed all o_nethash functions to s_nethash
          (in accordance to the changes made in libgeda)

2000-11-12  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/*.c: Fixed the misspelling of separator (pointed out by Stefan)

2000-11-04  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * scheme/gnet-vhdl.scm: Renamed this file to gnet-vhdlold.scm

        * scheme/gnet-vhdl.scm: Put this file back as gnet-vhdl.scm (undid
          above)

          files into this directory

        * docs/vams: Created directory, added vams documentation

        * examples/vams/: Created directory, moved the example vams design
          into this directory (written by Eduard Moser and Martin Lehmann)

          (written by Eduard Moser and Martin Lehmann)

        * src/g_register.c: Added register call for 
          gnetlist:vams-get-package-attributes

        * src/vams_misc.c: Added file to support vams backend (updated 
          Makefile.am) (written by Eduard Moser and Martin Lehmann)

        * examples/vams/*: Misc updates to the example files

        * docs/gnetlist.txt: Moved file into docs directory

        * src/s_hierarchy.c: Fixed a minor bug in hierarchy-uref-order and
          prepend mode: had to unmangle names using this flag as a parameter
          (so that the right uref basename was used).

2000-11-03  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/gnetlist.1: Updated manual with all the various backend formats

2000-11-02  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/s_netlist.c: Added another call to a post process routine

           rc keyword)

        * src/s_hierarchy.c: Added s_hierarchy_remove_uref_mangling

        * src/s_hierarchy.c: Got hierarchy_uref_rename working right.

        * src/*.c: Renamed "rename" to "mangle" (mainly keyword and variable
          changes)

        * src/g_rc.c and friends: Added the following keywords:
                hierarchy-netname-seperator
                hierarchy-uref-seperator
                hierarchy-netattrib-seperator
                hierarchy-uref-order
                hierarchy-netname-order
                hierarchy-netattrib-order

        * src/*.c: Wrote the code to use the above new keywords

        * src/g_rc.c: Finally migrated a change from the gschem/src/g_rc.c
          which fixes a core dump if you mess up a value for a keyword.
          (pass true size of the lookup table in RETURN_G_RC_MODE)

        * src/s_hierarchy.c: Put some verbose print in for the uref
          demangling code

2000-11-02  Stefan Petersen  <spe@geda.seul.org>

        * scheme/gnet-pads.scm: Wrapper function applied after request
          from Roger Williams.

        * scheme/gnet-*.scm: Updated copyright.
         
2000-10-31  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/gnetlist.c: Change the if(f_open...) calls to properly deal with 
          returned value from f_open

        * src/s_hierarchy.c: Divided up s_hierarchy_create_name into
          s_hierarchy_create_netname, s_hierarchy_create_uref, and
          s_hierarchy_create_netattrib functions

        * src/*.c: Removed all calls to s_hierarchy_create_name and
          started using the new name

        * src/g_rc.c and friends: Added several keywords:
                hierarchy-traversal, 
                hierarchy-uref-rename,
                hierarchy-netname-rename,
                hierarchy-netattrib-rename

        * src/*.c: Removed some old #if 0 code  

        * src/*.c: Unfortunately some functions needed the pr_current pointer,
          so had to change all instances to pass this pointer in

2000-10-31  Stefan Petersen  <spe@geda.seul.org>

        * scheme/gnetlist.scm: Cleaned up and renamed split
          gnetlist:wrap.

2000-10-29  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/s_netattrib.c: Got net= attribute to use the hierarchy tag
          when a net= is found in some underlying schematic.

        * src/s_hierarchy.c: Created s_hierarchy_create_name which creates
          properly structured hierarchy named things 
        
        * src/s_traverse.c and others: All the places where hierarchy
          names are created now use above new function
        
2000-10-23  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/s_rename.c: Was freeing some memory which was being used else
          where, oops, created a memory leak by not freeing memory.

        * src/s_traverse.c: Move hierarchy traverse code into s_hierarchy

        * src/s_misc.c: New file, currently contains verbose_* functions

        * src/s_netlist.c, s_traverse.c: Used some of the above newly created
          functions from s_misc.c

        * src/s_netlist.c: Reformated file to with indent

        * src/s_rename.c: Properly reset the rename_counter to be zero.

        * src/s_rename.c: Modified s_rename_add to properly deal with the case
          where you might have mutiple overlapping renames (which occurs when
          you have more than one level of hierarchy)

        * src/s_rename.c: Ran file through indent

2000-10-22  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/gnetlist.c: Removed extra compare to f_open calls so it
          works with the changes Stefan made in libgeda

        * src/create_proto: Updated it the the latest version

        * src/s_traverse.c: Removed a lot of redundant code (made possible
          by the recent libgeda structure changes) 

        * src/s_hierarchy.c: Added new file which contains post processing
          for hierarchy support 

        * src/*.c: Extensive work to get hierarchy support, modified almost
          every file 

        * src/s_traverse.c s_hierarchy.c: Started using indent (gnu mode)

2000-10-12  Stefan Petersen  <spe@geda.seul.org>

        * src/gnetlist.c: Fixed a screw up that made gnetlist fail
          compiling.
        
2000-10-10  Stefan Petersen  <spe@geda.seul.org>

        * src/gnetlist.c: Honours the error code returned from f_open
          from now on and tells invoker it didn't find the file.

2000-10-07  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * configure.in: Removed an old GTK+ test which is no longer used
        
2000-10-06  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/s_traverse.c: Changed the code which reports if a uref is
          missing or not.  Should be a little better, but might falsely
          report missing urefs

        * src/gnetlist.c: Changed CYGWIN32 warning message

2000-10-04  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/s_net.c: Fixed a lame error message to be a little more 
          descripting (when you forget uref or pin number attributes)

2000-08-21  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/*.c: Got gnetlist to build with all the libgeda modifications

2000-07-12  Matt Ettus  <matt@ettus.com>

        * Fixed autoconf/automake stuff to install protel and bae backends

          for value, label, and device text in that order

        * scheme/gnet-allegro.scm:  Use the above function

2000-07-06  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * configure.in: Bumped version up to 20000704a so people know they 
          have applied the 20000704a patch correctly.

2000-07-05  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * scheme/gnet-bae.scm, scheme/gnet-pads.scm, scheme/gnet-protelII.scm:
          These files still referenced the "physical" attribute, when instead
          it should be "footprint"

        * src/s_traverse.c: Because of my overloading of the "label=" attribute
          it was possible for a pin to supply a label to net, which is a big
          no-no (bug). Fixed by checking to make sure object is not a pin.

2000-07-04  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/*.c: Updated copyright info in each file

        * src/*.c: Changed all GNU to GPL in the appropriate places

        * configure.in: Bumped version up to 20000704
        
        * src/g_rc.c: Added an #if around #include <dirent.h> to make   
          Cygwin builds work

        * src/s_project.c: Added init of some important variables which 
          libgeda uses when promoting attributes.  The attribute promotion

          Mike's header addition

        * scheme/gnet-verilog.scm: Added a missing newline in netlist header

2000-04-26  Stefan Petersen  <spe@geda.seul.org>

        * Added gnet-protelII.scm (for Protel2) and gnet-bae.scm (for
          Bartels Autoengineer) to the ever increasing list of contributed
          backends for gnetlist. Contributed by Rolf Fiedler 
          <Rolf.Fiedler@Ferrari.DE>
        
2000-04-21  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

          Bardsley

2000-04-15  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * src/g_netlist.c: Added g_get_pin_attribute which given a uref,
          a pin number, and a wanted attribute returns the value.

        * src/create_proto: Updated prototype.h creation script to use gtk/glib
          paths from my machine (installed in /usr/local ...)

        * src/g_register.c: Added entry for g_get_pin_attribute

        * tests/*.verilog *.vhdl: Updated stored output to be current
          (so that the tests pass)

        * src/gnetlist.c: Minor type change (so that it work on PPC)
          Thanks to njh for pointing this out.

2000-02-07  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * scheme/gnet-spice.scm: Updated file with Bas' patch to allow the
          use of the uref=include... mechanism, see for more info: 
          http://www.geda.seul.org/mailinglist/geda-dev25/msg00113.html

2000-02-04  Stefan Petersen  <spe@geda.seul.org>

        * scheme/gnet-PCBboard.scm: Fixed (hopefully) guile version 
          incompatibilities in module popen (didn't exist before 1.3.2)
        
2000-01-25  Matt Ettus   <matt@ettus.com>

        * scheme/gnet-PCBboard.scm:  Added JM's code

        * autoconf and automake stuff updated for the above.

          directly, soon.

        * README.pcb:  Info on usage for above

        * src/g_netlist.c: Fixed g_get_packages to properly return ALL packages
          of ALL loaded schematics (basically switch to an previous attempt, 
          and folding in any improvements the new version had)

1999-10-19  Matt Ettus   <matt@ettus.com>

        * scheme/gnet-vipec.scm: Fixed ground node handling, some code cleaning.

1999-10-09  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * examples/test.sch: Renamed (replaced) test_verilog.sch

        * examples/test_verilog.sch: Translated it away from borders

        * examples/7447.sch: Translated it away from borders

1999-10-06  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * scheme/gnetlist.scm: Fixed a dangling reference to bom:strip1 
          (changed to strip1)

1999-10-06  Matthew Ettus   <matt@ettus.com>

        * scheme/gnet-vipec.scm:  New file, not functional yet.

        * scheme/gnet-PCB.scm:  Cleaned up functions, moved common ones to
        main gnetlist.scm file. 

        * scheme/gnet-allegro.scm:  Clean up, remove dead code

        * scheme/gnet-bom.scm:  Clean up, remove dead code

1999-10-04  Magnus Danielson  <cfmd@swipnet.se>

        * scheme/gnet-vhdl.scm: Finally fixed the write-port-clause stuff.
        This is now splitted into three routines which forms a much better
        basis for further development and also fixes the bugs which occurs if
        any or more of the in, out and inout sublists happends to be empty.
        Stuck in support for signal type.

1999-10-03  Ales Hvezda  <ahvezda@geda.seul.org>

        * In all *.c included define.h before struct.h

1999-09-28  Magnus Danielson  <cfmd@swipnet.se>

        * scheme/gnet-vhdl.scm: Fixed bug with no ports to entity.

9/25/99 Integrated Magnus's latest VHDL backend .scm code

9/23/99 Split up gnetlist.scm into seperate files.  The basic functions will
        live gnetlist.scm while the individual backends will be in gnet-*.scm
        
        Made some changes to the code so that the right backend *.scm code
        is loaded when appropriate

        Integrated Magnus Danielson's VHDL backend

9/19/99 Make sure gnetlist runs with guile-1.3.2a
        
        Fixed all warnings

9/17/99 Fixed that really nasty bug/problem that dealt with loading up 
        multiple sheets (see below).  The postprocess was happening too
        early and was for some odd reason nuking previously post processed
        nets.

9/16/99 Finally integrated Bas Gieltjes's latest spice netlist (sorry about
        the delay)  (this basically consisted of adding the code to 
        gnetlist.scm)  I'm not 100% this still works with the current 
        gnetlist, especially the new net= attribute

        Added code in gnetlist.c to only load up schematics which haven't
        been loaded already

        Found a NASTY bug/problem when you try to load up more than one
        schematic sheet with gnetlist.  Added a line in s_traverse_start
        which should have helped, but problem/bug still exists

9/14/99 Integrated Matt Ettus's Allegro and PCB gnetlist backends.  Thanks!

        Updated man page to reflect the backends

9/12/99 Fixed a netlist print function to that it doesn't try to print
        valid null strings

        Fixed up s_net_name_search so that it tells the user if a multiple 
        named net is found

        Implemented the concept of net name priority (net_name_has_priority)
        which controls which name has the highest priority.

        Added net-naming-priority keyword which controls which attribute
        (either net= or label= ) has priority when both are attached to a net

        Added i_vars.c which containes the rc mode init funcs which are 
        used by Kazu's rc mode functions

        More work on getting net= attribute to override previously defined
        pins (all controlled through net-naming-priority)

        Removed some obsolete #if 0'd out code from s_net.c

        Added s_rename.c which contains all the code to handle the renaming
        (aliasing) of net names.

        Integrated s_rename functions into the code

        Fixed a bug in s_netattrib_net_search where the outside of the 
        component wasn't being search for overriding net= attributes

        Fixed s_netlist_post_process, (the net naming), to only name
        nets of components which have a uref.  Components which don't
        have a uref are power/gnd/special components

        Updated verbose legend to include the R (rename of nets)

        Added gnetlist:get-renamed-nets which takes a dummy parameter and
        returns a list of lists (which contain src -> destination net 
        renaming pairs)

        Updated the geda netlist backend to output the above renaming
        list pairs into the netlist file as a new section

9/11/99 Created s_netattrib.c which contains all the code to handle the net=
        attribute

9/7/99  Start work on getting the net= attribute to work 

9/5/99  Moved test_verilog.sch into the examples directory (from 
        gschem/examples)

9/3/99  Fixed a nasty stupid bug in the nethash datastructure creation,
        used a constant instead of the pound define

8/31/99 Renamed ntext to text (finally)
        
        Fixed g_rc.c to work on WinNT

8/30/99 Renamed all ales to conn and ALES to CONN

8/27/99 Set the program version to 19990829 to force Ales to release
        on the 29th :)
        
        Updated all *.c and *.h files to have the right address for the
        FSF in the copyright/licence header

8/19/99 Updated Matt Ettus's BOM backend with thi's formatting changes

8/17/99 Added some bus related globals.

8/11/99 Added the real code to implement gnetlist:get-toplevel-attribute

        Integrated Matt Ettus's bill of material code (cool stuff!)

8/8/99  Moved mk_verilog_syms to utils (created utils and Makefile.am)

        Minor updates to example schematics since I renamed some of the
        verilog symbols to have the -1 prefix.

8/5/99  Added some stuff to configure.in for win32 builds

8/3/99  Updated libtool to 1.3.3

        Integrated Mike Jarabek latest verilog backend
                - Patched g_netlist.c
                - Patched g_register.c
                - Patched gnetlist.scm
                - Added examples/sch/*.sch to examples
                - Added mk_verilog_syms to src
                - Added symbols to ../symbols

8/2/99  Added g_netlist_get_attribute, which allows you go find any toplevel
        attributes (not yet functional)

7/21/99 Removed all trace of s_passing.h

7/15/99 Added support for libgdgeda 1.6 (mainly means searching for libpng)

7/6/99  Changed configure and Makefiles to cut down on the number of 
        libraries which are linked

        Didn't really disable libgdgeda when using --disable-gdgeda
        Now fixed.

7/5/99  Verified that gnetlist works with alphanumeric slotting

        Fixed all warnings 

        Renamed s_netlist_post_resolve to s_netlist_post_process

        Put Manu's configure.in changes into gnetlist as well
        
        Got configure.in to be almost identical to gnetlist/configure.in

        Updated man page slightly

7/4/99  Integrated latest verilog backend from Mike 

        Changed Mike's all-nets function to use get-all-unique-nets 
        (equate same named nets together)

        Added some improved feedback when doing the net traversal with
        verbose mode on

7/3/99  Removed almost all executing traces of connected_to_[1|2] (these
        was replaced by connected_to)

        Added gnetlist:get-all-unique-nets which returns all the unique
        nets in the design

        Added gnetlist:get-all-connections which returns all connections
        which are associated with the argument netname 

        Worked on gnetlist.scm to use above functions.

        Got geda netlist format to use above functions correctly.

        Got tango netlist format to use above functions correctly.
        (all others are okay)

        Reformated the tango backend scheme code to be more scheme like
        Reformated the gEDA backend scheme code to be more scheme like

        Went through all the code removing old obsolete variables from
        the internal representation.

        As of the today gnetlisting works again :-)

7/2/99  Fixed the ./configure stuff dealing with libgdgeda so that it works
        when libgdgeda isn't installed in a system directory

7/1/99  Got support for gdgeda in configure.in (required because you
        are linking against libgeda)

6/29/99 Got the core of nethash working with the rest of gnetlist

        Things seem to be working better now.  Core traversal of nets
        works now as well as the naming of nets.

6/25/99 Added support to configure to look for optarg and friends otherwise
        include the right externs...

6/17/99 Finally put all the changes in to make gnetlist work with the 
        new connection system 

6/8/99  Integrated old gnetlist into the current development dist scheme


--------------- new devel stuff starts here ----------------------------


5/14/99 Updated manual page a bit 

5/13/99 Integrated Mike Jarabek's verilog netlister 

4/11/99 Added some more debugging information when reading in the scm file

4/9/99  Fixed Makefile.am so that gnetlist.1 is installed

3/26/99 Added some newlines in a few places in gnetlist.scm

3/20/99 Got spice backend guile functions to follow the new 
        backend:function_name naming convention

3/19/99 Updated g_rc to print more diag message to the log file when
        it can't find an rc file (like gschem)

3/18/99 Updated g_rc to use new macros for finding system-*rc files

3/11/99 Added back the original implementation of the write-net-name-... 
        guile code for the spice netlist.  It works right for transistors.
        Mine did not.  Bummer.  Spice netlist doesn't support slotting for
        now.

3/10/99 Fixed a coredump when you pass in an "unknown" for the pin number
        in get-nets.  Return a list which is ("ERROR"). (pointed out by
        Bas Gieltjes)

        Changed ales-netlist format to geda-netlist format.  Changed
        gnetlist.scm appropriately      

        Renamed all C guile functions to be called gnetlist:<whatever>
        This makes it clear where functions come from 

        Added code to set netlist_mode which enables/disables certain
        netlist features.  Each backend should call this with something
        even if it's the default mode: gEDA

        Added gnetlist:set-netlist-mode to g_register and g_netlist which 
        sets the above mode

        Integrated tango netlist backend by Nuno Sucena (thanks)

        Changed the highest level function in all backends to take a 
        parameter which is the netlist output filename.  This is a required
        parameter

        Added -o flag which specifies output filename (for above), if you
        don't specify an output filename the default is output.net

        Integrated spice backend by Bas Gieltjes

        Had to add a kludge to gnetlist.c which sets netlist_mode based
        on the guile_proc string (for spice mode which needs to be set
        before the .sch files are read in)

        Changed the default unnamed_counter to be one instead of zero

        Fixed the incorrect behavior when you have slotted components and
        the spice backend.  

        Played a bit with the way power connections show up in the netlists
        (s_net.c and the POWER string code)  Not completely happy with 
        any of this.

3/9/99  Fixed a few variables which were uninitialized (width, height,
        snap_size)

1/24/99 Removed some // comments (shouldn't use those in C code)

12/3/98 Added thi's small gnetlist patch

11/8/98 Changed the ales-netlist slightly (less newlines)

        Started adding code to resolve same net names

        Found a really nasty bug, wasn't initalizing net_name in cpinlist!

        Found several really nasty bugs, where something was initalized
        incorrectly (strings = 0 ?!?) (s_net.c in add function)

        Found another missing init (object_ptr) in s_netlist.c (add function)

        Found another missing init (original) in s_cpinlist.c (add function)

        All of the above bugs were apparently the cause of the mysterious
        guile 1.3 problem.  Further testing is needed

10/25/98 Cleaned up all warnings 

10/24/98 Discovered that gnetlist doesn't like guile 1.3

         Fixed a memory overrite in s_net_name, also added a return(NULL)

         Fixed a place where I was freeing a null pointer in g_get_packages

         Found/fixed another "trying to free null data"

         Updated gnetlist.scm with display-connections (output.net looks 
         better)

10/20/98 Fixed a bug which prevented gnetlist to work with guile 1.3

         Change rc file guile primative version to gnetlist-version

10/18/98 Changed o_attrib_search_name_single to pass a null in for the last
         argument

10/12/98 Added guile code to handle unconnected pins (gnetlist.scm)

         Found a place where U? wasn't being set.

10/11/98 Added parsecmd.c (commandline argument parsing)

         Simplified the loading of schematic sheets and intergrated above

         Added the actual command line options (-v for verbose mode) and
         (-i for guile interactive mode)  Default for both of these is
         off

         Added usage() function (which exits when called)

         Added quiet_mode to the command line arguments, to shut off all
         messages

         Removed all warnings

         Worked on gnetlist.scm to get some guile code to drive some of 
         the new netlist code
        
         Added and registered g_get_package_attribute guile function which
         returns the wanted attribute from the specified package uref

         Added command line option -g guile_proc so you can execute guile
         scripts from the command line 

         Added code to support above

         More work into gnetlist.scm to get some sort of netlist writer 
         going
                

10/10/98 Added file s_traverse.c which creates flat netlist datastructure

         Serious work on getting netlist code to work!

         Add s_net.c (functions that deal with the net structure) 

         Add s_netlist.c (functions that deal with the netlist struct)

         Add s_cpinlist.c (functions that deal with the cpinlist struct)

         Completely preliminary code for netlist generation (first cut,
         highly inefficient, but works! :)

         Updated g_get_packages to use the new available structures (much
         faster)

         Updated g_get_pins to use the new available structures (much
         faster)

         Added (exit) and (quit) guile functions

         Found a condition where my attempt to speed up the netlist post
         processing, but it found a nasty bug, so now we have a 3 pass
         post process. 
        

0.0.5
-------

9/19/98 Improved the input gathering code for the guile shell a bit.

9/13/98 Changed netlist.scm to gnetlist.scm

        Fixed g_rc_scheme_directory to store the string in the structure 

9/4/98  Made then necessary changes to have gnetlist use libgeda

        Fixed a few minor tidbits related to above
        
8/30/98 Added embedded component support from gschem to gnetlist
 
8/29/98 Added complex_parent pointer to object structure

        Added code to fill above pointer 

        Added s_netlist.c and added it to Makefile.am

        Added first cut of GUILE netlist routines       
                g_get_packages

        Added s_scratch.c (misc scratch buffer routines)

        Made some changes to the attribute handling, head attrib node 
        points to the object where the attributes belong to.  Be sure   
        to propegate this change back to gschem (done)

        Made sure that text_string is only set when it should be by 
        setting p_text_string[0] = '\0'.  Be sure to propegate this change
        back to gschem (done)

        Added a bunch of attribute search routines to support all this
        Be sure to propagate these attribute routines back go gschem

        Wrote some test scheme code which is in ../bin/netlist.scm

8/25/98 Added code into the repository and devel tree

        Fixed logging mechanism

        Added appropriate lines in all the upper makefiles to build this code

        Code doesn't do anything other then read in the schematics
