CERN Kicad development roadmap
This page hosts a proposal for work packages, which should improve Kicad to the match the features of proprietary software that are required for design of board of similar complexity to our SPEC/SVEC projects.
1. Unified geometry library
Depends on*: none.
First client*: push and shove router
A one-library-to-rule-them-all for spatial indexing and geometry
operations on 2D shapes.
Specification
2. View component
Depends on*: none
First client*: tool framework
Graphical item view for all Kicad applications, based on the Graphics Abstraction Layer.
