See https://www.gnu.org/software/libredwg/ and
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libredwg.git/tree/NEWS

new API:
  * add dwg_get_OBJECT(dwg) API for all objects in a DWG.
    analog to dwg_get_ENTITY, but including all objects, tables,
    block headers, even if unowned.
  Note that the dwg_api will be revamped from static to dynamic before 1.0.
  field accessors will be by name argument and ... (va_args)
  See the work/dynapi branch #59 (in progress).
  dwg_get_OBJECT(dwg) will be renamed to dwg_getall_OBJECT(dwg),
  dwg_get_ENTITY(blkhdr) to dwg_getall_ENTITY(blkhdr).

API breaking changes:
  * Changed BITCODE_RC from signed to unsigned char (#44)
  * LEADER changes: rename hooklineonxdir to hookline_dir,
    rename unknown_bit_4 to hookline_on,
    endptproj only until r2007. (but still not 100% correct)
  * MULTILEADER changes: rename num_vertex to numpts (analog to LEADER),
    change vertex to points[] (PR #49 Denis Pryt)
  * Fixed dwg_get_ENTITY(hdr): NULL-terminate the result (#60)

Important bugfixes:
  * Fixed all memory leaks and double-free's (#43, #42, PR #58 Denis Pryt)
  * Fixed EED sizes (PR #48, Denis Pryt)
  * Fixed BLOCK_HEADER.num_inserts, esp. with xref's (#44).
    For decode and encode.
  * Fixed LTYPE.dash (#44)
  * Fixup LEADER DXF values and path_type with annot_type mixup.
  * Fixed TABLE.value.data_type with flags kGeneral (#54 Denis Pryt)
  * Fixes VECTOR_CHKCOUNT segfault on unassigned obj->dxfname's
    (esp. for <=R12), and fix overflows (#56)
  * dwglayers: fix for DICTIONARY breaking the list output (#51)
  * dxf: fix dxf_blocks_write for empty paper_space (#52)
  * Fixed example/load_dwg.py allowing non-critical error codes

Other newsworthy changes:
  * Check for RUNNING_ON_VALGRIND and call dwg_free then, even
    if previously skipped.
  * Renamed all remaining API "null malloc" error messages to
    "Out of memory"
  * Harmonized in_dxfb with in_dxf, but still WIP

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

  gpg --verify libredwg-0.7.tar.gz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys B4F63339E65D6414

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.
