Evolution of the LayoutEditor


About 5 years ago the LayoutEditor project was started. Few month later the first version was released: a simple viewer for GDSII files. It was published as Open-Source on sourceforge and achieved 44 downloads within the first month. Initial users made many feature requests. A quick implementation resulted in more users with more features request. Soon editing features were added. First versions of the LayoutEditor was published as source code only. Compiled versions for Linux and Windows were added within the first year. The support of more file formats (DXF, CIF, OASIS) followed in the next year. In less than two years the monthly downloads increased to 500. Popularity and features continues to grow. In 2009 juspertor UG was founded to provide an optimal support for users. Last month it achieved 3285 downloads and the features can easily keep up with many high priced tools.
