I downloaded and built pcb (2006* release) from pcb.sourceforge.net on my FreeBSD system. I was using the pre2005 release for a few years now
WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES?
Kudos and much props to the developers. The interface on this new release is easier to navigate and I dont feel like the controls (mouse) sticks and clings to the screen.
Ill be testing this out more, now that I have a new board to work on. Also generating output in anything other than png is a great addition (not that I complained before) and having the zoom in/out feature readily accessible is another plus.
I am sure theres more, but I havent had a chance to dig into it more. Again thanks to the developers (you know who you are) for your efforts in this project.
