# pcb-rnd - the [io_*] patches

Mainline PCB core was coupled with the file format; the [io] patch set is an effort to decouple any file design I/O from core. The original file format (plain text .pcb and .fp) lives on as plugin called io_pcb.

TODO

## save/load and compatibility

Not affected when io_pcb is used and .pcb or .fp files are loaded or saved.

Using other io_* implementations will obviously result in files that are incompatible with mainline pcb (unless mainline pcb learns how to load those formats).

## plans

The project is still in an early phase.
