 +====== ​ Release Notes for gsch2pcb Tutorial ======
 +These are the release notes to the [[gsch2pcb_tutorial|gsch2pcb tutorial]].
 +
 +  *  Starting with the PCB-20050609 snapshot, PCB has a new Gtk user interface which replaces the old Xaw interface and this tutorial will describe using the Gtk interface. ​ If you are still using the Xaw PCB, you can search the older version of this tutorial in your distribution,​ which is very likely also not up to date with info on the gEDA gafrc files.
 +
 +  * If you have a gschem version less than 20030525 these tutorial examples may not work as expected.
 +
 +  * If you have gEDA version 20030901 installed such that you are using its included gsch2pcb 0.9 and you are getting an error:<​code>​ERROR:​ Unbound variable: open-output-pipe</​code>​ then the problem is syntax in //​gnet-gsch2pcb.scm//​ that worked in guile 1.4 but does not work in guile 1.6.  You'll need to upgrade to using at least gsch2pcb 1.0.1 to solve this problem.
 +
 +  * As of about 1/9/2004 CVS PCB versions changed to using a hi resolution output file format which will require using at least gsch2pcb-1.4.
 +
 +  * ** Mini Changelog**
 +    *  5/16/2007 Imported into wiki.  We'll see if it's worth keeping this Changelog up to date after this.
 +    *  6/23/2005 Added gafrc file info to setup section. ​ Updated the tutorial to use the Gtk PCB.
 +    *  1/10/2004 Corrected my sloppy PCB file elements which had silkscreen lines overlapping solder pads.
 +    *  12/23/2003 Added comments about new CVS PCB versions which have the m4 and newlib directories default installed under /usr/share or /​usr/​local/​share.
