1) Edit Symbol gets similar fix as Place Symbol
2) progress dialog updating reduced to once every 50ms
3) SearchText gets lazy normalization
4) TypeNames get lazy translation
5) default fieldNames get translated a single time per language change
These fixes reduce first-load-time of both Edit Symbol and Place Symbol
by about 2/3, and second-load-time of Edit Symbol to near-instantaneous.
eeschema now supports arbitrary colors for all object types, and
pcbnew does in GAL canvas. When switching from GAL to legacy canvas,
pcbnew will convert colors to the nearest legacy color.
Move items rework: enhancements: for some items (sheets, components, bus entries) the mouse cursor is no more wrapped to the anchor. For large symbols, this is better: they are more easy to place.
There is also a change when starting a move item command: the full screen is redraw, and therefore there is no artifact due to the XOR draw mode.
Some other minor coverity fixes (uninitialized members).
*) When kicad.exe closes a project, close any open KIFACEs so that they cannot
get disassociated from their true PROJECT.
*) Allow loading eeschema library editor from kicad.exe
*) Allow loading pcbnew library editor from kicad.exe
*) Rename LIB_COMPONENT to LIB_PART.
*) Add class PART_LIBS, and PART_LIB.
*) Make PART_LIBS non-global, i.e. PROJECT specific.
*) Implement "data on demand" for PART_LIBS
*) Implement "data on demand" for schematic SEARCH_STACK.
*) Use RSTRINGs to retain eeschema editor's notion of last library and part being edited.
*) Get rid of library search on every SCH_COMPONENT::Draw() call, instead use
a weak pointer.
*) Remove all chdir() calls so projects don't need to be CWD.
*) Romove APPEND support from OpenProjectFiles().
*) Make OpenProjectFiles() robust, even for creating new projects.
*) Load EESCHEMA colors in the KIWAY::OnKiwayStart() rather in window open,
and save them in the .eeschema config file, not in the project file.
*) Fix bug with wxDir() while accessing protected dirs in kicad.exe
*) Consolidate template copying into PROJECT class, not in kicad.exe source.
*) Generally untangle eeschema, making its libraries not global but rather
held in the PROJECT.
In particular the new mechanism for handling extended color palettes is in place,
included renaming the ini keys and saving the color name instead of its index; this means better forward compatibility with palette changes.
Since ini keys are changed, colors will be reset
* Improve MSG_PANEL_ITEM to handle message panel information.
* Create containers for passing message panel items between objects and
the message panel.
* Rename EDA_ITEM::DisplayInfo to EDA_ITEM::GetMsgPanelInfo.
* Remove all direct manipulation of EDA_DRAW_FRAME from all objects derived
from EDA_ITEM.
* Remove unnecessary copy constructors from schematic and component
library objects.
* Add comment to class definitions where the default copy constructor
generated by the compiler was adequate.
* Add assignment operator to EDA_ITEM, SCH_ITEM, and all schematic
objects where the default assignment operator generated by the
compiler would not be adequate.
* EDA_DRAW_PANEL completely encapsulated.
* Moved OSX m_overlay member from EDA_DRAW_PANEL to EDA_DRAW_FRAME where
it is used.
* Doxygen comment warning fixes.
* Create library collector class.
* Add clarification menu to library editor when multiple items are found
at the current position.
* Add get clarification menu text to all objects derived from LIB_ITEM.
* Add get menu bitmap for all objects derived from LIB_ITEM.
* Improve LIB_PIN bounding box calculation.
* Rename LIB_ITEM::DoGenCopy to doClone to match behavior defined in base
class EDA_ITEM.
* Minor class renaming for improved code consistency.
* Added less than operator to EDA_ITEM.
* Move schematic wire and bus break code into schematic screen object.
* Move schematic test for dangling ends into schematic screen object.
* Remove left over debugging output in schematic screen object.
* Remove unused file eeschema/cleanup.cpp.
* Fix bug in schematic line object hit test algorithm.
* Fix a string concatenation compile error added in r2752.
* Rename class WinEDA_BasicFrame to EDA_BASE_FRAME.
* Rename class WinEDA_DrawFrame to EDA_DRAW_FRAME.
* Rename class WinEDA_DrawPanel to EDA_DRAW_PANEL.
* All library component object editing is now performed with the ojbect
except LIB_PIN (coming soon).
* Added TRANFORM class to handle coordinate transforms.
* Remove old transform matrix functions.
* More file renaming to align them with the other component library
object file names.
* Fix hot key bugs in library editor to disable edit keys while an item
is being edited.
* Fixed bug when cancelling rotation of text and field objects while
being moved.
* Break classes_body_item.cpp(.h) into more reasonable size bites.
* Rename classes_body_item.cpp(.h) to lib_draw_item.cpp(.h)
* Fix some unsatisfied header file dependencies.
* Add stubs to component library draw item base classe to handle editing
internally.
* Lots of code cleaning.
