I assumed that the new layer order will + be in place soon. It works fine now, but the layer order is probably + misleading, since it does not reflect the current stackup but rather the + future stackup. I dropped support for a single layer board.

See SPECCTRA_DB::keywords[]. + The reason you want an enum is to give the C++ debugger better type information + so it can show symbolic integer symbols. + * Factored out common richio.cpp and richio.h + which is what DSNLEXER uses. + * Fixed some minor issues with reading circuit descriptor from a *.dsn file. + + +2009-Dec-6 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com> +================================================================================ +++pcbnew & gerbview + * Moved ReturnLayerName() to static BOARD::GetDefaultLayerName() and migrated + to a Specctra DSN compatible default layer naming scheme: + Component becomes Front, Copper becomes Back. + * set_color.h: Cmp becomes Front, Cu becomes Back. + * D_PAD::DisplayInfo() changed to use actual copper layer names. + * more layer setup dialog work, moved all programmatic wxControl instantiation + into the wxFormbuilder environment, but this is fraught with danger: + wxFlexGridSizer used the tallest control to establish the row heights, so + be careful about changing control borders in the scroll panel.
