Detailed Description

Describes the properties of a gEDA schematic/symbol file format version.

The file format version of a gEDA file is described by a line of the form

 v release_version fileformat_version

where release_version is an eight-digit number representing a date and fileformat_version is a low integer (usually 1 or 2). These represent the file format features that are used:

Feature	Release version	File format version
Text alignment attribute	>= February 20th, 2000
Line and fill attributes	> September 4th, 2000
Bus pins, whichend and ripperdir attribute	> August 25th, 2002
Text objects with multiple lines	(October 2003)	>= 1
Path objects	(November 2008)	>= 2

Depending on the version of the file format, the file is parsed differently. The unspecified parameters in the older file formats are set to default values.

In older libgeda file format versions there was no information about the active end of pins.
