When I get a moment, I will rebase my PCB+GL branches against it. (I might do it in a few gentle steps, rather than all 56 commits at once - depending on how brave I feel!). I see a lot of people think this will help with (hiding) the "rotating a square pad" bug. I'm still uneasy about that though. We should perhaps make our next order of business fixing that properly. I guess we should modify / extending the pad definition line to specify an orientation, or allow specification of an overall rotation for a package. I have some ideas about how pad-stacks could be made more general though, so a square pad (like many others) is just a special case of a polygon - which can, of course.. be rotated arbitrarily, either at the pad level, or on the component level. > Please test and let me know how things are working.

Perhaps you can lend me your script to run over my PCB+GL stuff ;) I do manual compile tests for each commit before pushing stuff to git HEAD, but don't always test everything after I rebase. > I have done a few save/load tests.

As soon as I get a chance, I'll try running it on some real production board data to verify things look the same.
