Linux SDL/ImGui edition software for viewing .brd files, intended as a drop-in replacement for the "Test_Link" software and "Landrex".
- Annotations (per board database file)
- Part and pin sizes better represented
- Better outlining of irregular objects (such as connectors)
- Drag and drop
- Recently used file history
- Non-orthagonally orientated caps/resistors/diodes now drawn more realistically
- Adjustable DPI (for working on 2K/4K screens)
- Works with multiple concurrent instances
- Decode more board formats
- Compound project/file format
