CHANGELOG.md

@@ -14,6 +14,7 @@ CHANGELOG for FlatCAM beta
 - minor issue in Paint Tool
 - added a new feature for Gerber parsing: if the NO buffering is chosen in the Gerber Advanced Preferences there is now a checkbox to activate delayed buffering which will do the buffering in background allowing the user to work in between. I hope that this can be useful in case of large Gerber files.
 - made the delayed Gerber buffering to use multiprocessing but I see not much performance increase
