Comment 8 for bug 1744832

Hi Bert

Thank you for that.  Hopefully, the file format is backward compatible.
   I have a lot of python code invested in generating boards with large
arrays of sensors and amplifiers.

I have been working with the version that is provided by Fedora and
included in their collection of electronics CAD software. That they use
a version that it so wildly out of date, suggests that one of the
problems is that Fedora does not have somebody to maintain this properly
in their repositories.

So, I have to study the issue a little bit to determine how to bring in
the current version without causing a code maintenance burden with
subsequent system updates and upgrades.

Regards

Dr Mitch
