    gschem: Don't crop the png output [3100660] [3100680]

    Gschem sometimes crops the image exported to bitmap file (png,
    bmp... but not eps). This appears in certain range of picture
    proportions, landscape but close to square.

    This patch alters the algorithm that adjusts the image proportions to
    remove this problem.

    utils: Don't use string exceptions in Python code. [3014181]

    utils/scripts/garchive.py uses string exceptions which have been deprecated in
    Python 2.5, and has been removed in Python 2.6. The attached patch fixes this
    issue.

    gnetlist: Handle hierarchy refdes correctly in partslist*. [3044478]

    When producing a part list with the partslist[1-3] backend the refdes
    values output to the file do not contain the prepended refdeses of the
    parent component.

    E.g.

    Master schematic with symbol 'S1' (representing sub-schematic) and a
    resistor 'R1' Sub-schematic containing resistor 'R1'

    The geda backend produces a netlist containing two resistors 'R1' and
    'S1/R1', they're unique and everything is fine and dandy. The
    partslist[1-3] backends contain two components with the refdes 'R1'
    which then causes problems when processing this file further.

    This is caused by the partslist[1-3] backends adding the value of the
    refdes attribute to the file rather than the value returned by the
    'packages' function.

    The supplied patch alters the backends to use the value from the
    packages function directly, rather than looking up the refdes
    attribute of the component.

Date: Tue Jan 4 15:37:47 2011 +0000

    Use @builddir@ instead of $(builddir) because versions of automake
    before 1.10 didn't define it. Should fix build problems noted by
    Stuart Brorson and John Griessen.

    build-sys: Build desktop-i18n locale data correctly with DESTDIR set.

    When doing an out-of-tree build with DESTDIR set, desktop-i18n's
    temporary locale data tree was getting put in the wrong place. Fix
    this by clearing DESTDIR and forcing prefix and localedir to the
    correct values.

    gschem: Exit any current event state before switching pages

    If we don't do this, state from an operation on one page can cause
    corruption and genereral chaos. This was reproducable by moving
    some objects (em), then switching pages with a key-binding.

    Fix hiding the command prompt window on Win32 builds with -mwindows

    There was a mistake in gschem and gattrib's Makefile.am, where it
    included the non-existant MINGW_GUI_CFLAGS rather than pulling in
    MINGW_GUI_LDFLAGS where the required -mwindows was set.

    Cherry-picked from: e5f32954a1fb23534309d6fa06d887859afbc664
