Use now English layers names to build filenames in plot functions (for techical layers), because translated names create sometimes problems in filenames.
(should do not change anything for English users)
* Move all convert from user to internal units into base_units.cpp.
* Remove internal units parameters from all moved conversion functions.
* Revise all source code that calls the moved conversion functions.
* Remove internal units from all dialog text control helper classes.
* Move all convert from internal to user units functions into separate file.
* Remove internal units parameter from all moved conversion functions.
* Revise all source code that calls the moved conversion functions.
* Compile these conversion routines separately for the appropriate pcb or
schematic internal units.
* Move internal units specific status bar update code into the appropriate
application for updating the status bar.
* Move millimeter user units rounding function to common.cpp.
This feature is very useful for electronics hobbyists who use DIY PCB technology
(both toner transfer and photoresist methods).
Also width correction may be useful for PCB designers who take care of track width etching.
This patch also fixes some minor PS plotting issues.
* EDA_DRAW_FRAME completely encapsulated except for DrawFrame member.
* Moved members specific to Pcbnew from EDA_DRAW_FRAME to PCB_BASE_FRAME
or PCB_EDIT_FRAME as appropriate.
* Replace EDA_TOOLBAR with wxAuiToolBar as EDA_TOOL bar provided no
additional functionality and made code less readable.
* Remove EDA_TOOLBAR class definition from wxstruct.h and delete file
wineda_toolbar.cpp.
* Rename tool bar members to something more descriptive since the
horizontal and vertical references wont mean anything once the
tool bars are movable.
* Lots of dead code removal.
* Correct all user strings and comments for the correct capitalization of
application names according to JP. They are KiCad, Pcbnew, CvPcb,
Eeschema, and GerbView.
* Add a note the the user interface policy about the correct capitalization.
* All header files used to create the PCB common library now compile as
stand alone code. This prevents the need to define them in a specific
order to make source code compile properly. It should also now be
possible to relocate the source code to build the common PCB library
to a separate folder.
* Fix grid select box update bug on context menu.
* Fix via size and track width select box update bugs.
* Fix layer pair indicator button update bug.
* Fix auto track width tool bar control enable bug.
* Fix via size and track width select status bug in context menu.
* Fix layer select box and layer control widget select bug when current
layer is removed.
* Add virtual function to notify objects derived from EDA_DRAW_FRAME that
the units setting has changed.
* Coding policy class naming fixes.
* Encapsulate file name member of base screen object.
* Encapsulate associated screen member of schematic sheet object.
* Create add screen method to schematic sheet object to simplify setting
the associated screen.
* Move the change file name code in the schematic sheet object to the edit
sheet method in the schematic editor frame object to eliminate message
dialogs.
* Improve reference counting in schematic screen object.
* Add helper type definitions for changing schematic object storage to C++
containers.
soldermask. Nevertheless, it would be nice to have proper gerbers to
begin with, i.e., gerbers with no silkscreen in soldermaskless areas.
Of course, most of the problem can be taken care of by drawing the
footprints properly. However, sometimes the silkscreen of one
footprint ends up on the pads of another one (think components under a
so-dimm card, for example). The attached patch adds an option to
subtract the soldermask from the silkscreen when doing gerber output.

pcbnew and directs gerber/hpgl etc. output into that directory.
There's a browse button that opens a dialog for browsing. If the
directory does not exist, it is created. Tested in linux, not in
windows. Wxwidgets methods are used for file (name) manipulations, so
things are probably ok in windows, too.

inches and mm, the industry is crazy enough to force us with mixed
design. For example I routinely use imperial units for track size and
clearance, but drilling is strictly a metric issue...
So I added a little parser to recognize a suffix specification in the
unit text boxes... so you can put in things like:
1in (1 inch)
1" (idem)
25th (25 thou)
25mi (25 mils, the same)
6mm (6 mm, obviously)
The rules are: spaces between the number and the unit are accepted, only
the first two letters are significant.
As a bonus, it also recognize the period (.) as a decimal point
substituting it with the correct locale character (there was a wishlist
for it, IIRC). Most useful for number pad fans :D
* Split out application specific command IDs to prevent unnecessary rebuilding.
* Eliminate duplicate menu and tool bar command IDs.
* Split component library editor and viewer definitions to separate header files.
* More component library and document file merge code.
* A bunch of minor string readability and consistency fixes.
* All: remove all remaining occurrences of g_DialogFont and dialog font menu handers.
* All: remove all remaining non-standard fonts and button text colors from common dialogs.
* PCBNew: remove all non-standard fonts and button text colors from dialogs.
* PCBNew: update project library and path dialog to match changes to CVPCB version.
* EESchema: update project library and path dialog to match changes to CVPCB version.
* EESchema: save vertical/horizontal line direction setting between sessions.
