Hi Martin,
You are right. The said pull request is from another developer.
Another way to understand LibreCAD source code, to go through our bug/feature request trackers. if you find something interesting, have a look at how we fixed/implemented stuff. We usually keep commit numbers within tracker comment.
Thanks,
Dongxu

Please note that the pull request you sent is for an old "ellipse" branch
instead of "master" branch of my repository, and it may explain why the
pull request can not be applied cleanly.
Huh? Are you sure that said request is from me? I did not issue a pull request,
at least not intentionally (my working copy does not know about any other
upstream repositories yet, so this is improbable). Thanks for your patient
Git support, though!

I tend to actively adapt to C++11. The reason: Qt5 will be C++11, and we
have no intention to hold back everything for Windows compiler, as windows
version of Qt-creator can be used for windows.
It seems that Qt 4.8 is already moving into that direction.

If LibreCAD switches to Qt5 and thus doesn't support some compilers, that
would be fine with me. I _do_ know that VC 7.1 is somewhat outdated :-)
That would be a good time and reason to scrap MS and move over to BSD
and gcc (or llvm) ...
Greetings
Martin
