Yes, I'm still working on the autorouter. The algorithms in the 
autorouter I implemented for the summer of code give great solutions to 
some problems, but they really fail on others. So unfortunately, the 
autorouter isn't really usable on real world boards just yet.

To address some of these issues, I'm trying some new algorithms. The 
main problem is the commitment to a certain topology early on, so I'm 
implementing a sort of tentative pre-route to guide the layer assignment 
and net ordering, before the actual routing.

Unforuntately I haven't had much time in the last few weeks as I've been 
catching up with school work, finding a new house, and I've had the 
flu.. =(

Hopefully I should have some results with the new algorithms in the next 
few weeks..

Cheers,
Anthony
