Eeschema, Pcbnew: quelques bugs supprim<69>s
Am<EFBFBD>rioration des messages d'aides du toolbar d'option (toolbar gauche).
Pcbnew:
Option d'affichage en mode "fort contraste" (toolbar d'option):
seule la couche active est alors affich<63>e normalement,
les autres couches sont affich<63> en gris sombre (utile si plus de 2 couches)

**************************************************************
mise a jour du 18 mai 2004:
fichier de configuration unifi<66> ( commun a tous les logiciels )
<projet>.pro contient toutes les options propres au projet
les anciens fichiers de config .cnf ne sont plus utilis<69>s.
kicad/template contient le fichier common de config par d<>faut kicad.pro
Sous Linux: passage <20> l'utilisation de GTK2

PCBNEW, EESCHEMA:
Quelques bugs supprim<69>s.
- Ajout de la fonction AutoPAN:
lors du trac<61> de fils et pistes,  de placement ou d<>placement de composants
il y a recadrage automatique lorsque le curseur sort du cadre de trac<61>.
- Ajout d'un axe auxiliaire:
Permet de d<>finir l'origine (0,0) des coordonn<6E>es utilis<69>es pour
g<EFBFBD>n<EFBFBD>rer les fichiers de per<65>age et d'insertion automatique des composants

Bug en placement automatiques supprim<69>s.

**************************************************************
mise a jour du 17 fevrier 2004:
EESCHEMA
Ajout d'un outil de placement des alimentations (power)
fait double emploi avec l'outil de placement des composants, mais accl<63>l<EFBFBD>re le placement
des symboles d'alimentation en ouvrant d'office la librairie correspondante (power.lib)
Am<EFBFBD>lioration des outils de placement:
les 2 derniers composants utilis<69>s sont m<>moris<69>s pour une reselection rapide.

mise a jour du 14 janvier 2004:
PCBNEW:
am<EFBFBD>lioration de la gestion de la grille:
le pas de grille utilisateur est maintenant r<>glable en X et en Y et nest pas
arrondi en unit<69>s internes (1/10000 pouce).
l'unit<69> dans laquelle les pas sont sp<73>cifi<66>s est s<>lectionnable (mm ou inch),
ind<EFBFBD>pendemment de l'unit<69> d'affichage;
De ce fait le pas peut etre exact, et quelconque, aussi bien en mm qu'en pouces.
Il n'y a plus d'erreur d'arrondi qui se cummulait comme avant.
la pr<70>cision du trac<61> reste constante ( 1/10000 pouce ou 2,5 microns).
Ceci a <20>t<EFBFBD> rendu n<>cessaire pour cr<63>er et g<>rer des composants au pas m<>trique,
de plus en plus nombreux.

mise a jour du 7 juillet 2003:

LIBRAIRIES:
ajouts divers.

EESCHEMA
les extr<74>mit<69>s de fils et les labels "en l'air" sont maintenant visualis<69>s par un petit carr<72> affich<63> sur le point non connect<63>.
Cela facilite fortement la d<>tection des fils ou labels mal ou non connect<63>s.
Cependant une extr<74>mit<69> de fil peut rester non connect<63>e, sans que cela pose probl<62>me.
C'est le cas de fils connect<63>s par des labels.
Mais les fils chevauchant des pins sans y etre connect<63>s sont maintenant facilement d<>tectables.
