No. It is the soon to be, fancy, state-of-the-art autorouter that will put 
pcb well ahead of the crowd of low-end layout tools. It was designed and 
coded by Anthony Blake during Google Summer of Code 2008. Although primary 
results are impressive (*), the router is not quite ready for production 
use. For example, until this very week it choked on existing tracks, it does 
not introduce vias, it ignores power planes, etc.

As you may have seen in the router update thread, we are constantly pushing 
Anthony to remove the last road blocks before general usefulness.
