+## [Unreleased]
+### Added
+- Options to better control the rotation filter (#60 and #67):
+  - invert_bottom: bottom angles are inverted.
+  - skip_top: top components aren't rotated.
+  - skip_bottom: bottom components aren't rotated.

-- `negative_bottom`: [boolean=true] Rotation for bottom components is computed substracting. Note that this should be coherent with the `bottom_negative_x` of the position output.

+- `invert_bottom`: [boolean=false] Rotation for bottom components is negated, resulting in either: `(- component rot - angle)` or when combined with `negative_bottom`, `(angle - component rot)`.
+- `rotations`: [list(list(string))] A list of pairs regular expression/rotation. Components matching the regular expression will be rotated the indicated angle. Special names `_top` and `_bottom` will match all components on that side of the board.
 
 In order to add a new rotation or just change an existing one you just need to use the `rotations` option.
 As an example: the internal list of rotations rotates QFN packages by 270 degrees, no suppose you want to rotate them just 90 degrees.
