This is a very large and potentially disruptive change so this will be an
unusually long and detailed commit message.
The new file formats are now the default in both the schematic and symbol
library editors. Existing symbol libraries will be saved in their current
format until new features are added to library symbols. Once this happens,
both the legacy schematic and symbol file formats will be no longer be
savable and existing libraries will have to be converted. Saving to the
legacy file formats is still available for round robin testing and should
not be used for normal editing.
When loading the legacy schematic file, it is imperative that the schematic
library symbols are rescued and/or remapped to valid library identifiers.
Otherwise, there will be no way to link to the original library symbol and
the user will be required manually set the library identifier. The cached
symbol will be saved in the schematic file so the last library symbol in
the cache will still be used but there will be no way to update it from the
original library.
The next save after loading a legacy schematic file will be converted to
the s-expression file format. Schematics with hierarchical sheets will
automatically have all sheet file name extensions changed to .kicad_sym
and saved to the new format as well.
Appending schematics requires that the schematic to append has already been
converted to the new file format. This is required to ensure that library
symbols are guaranteed to be valid for the appended schematic.
The schematic symbol library symbol link resolution has been moved out of
the SCH_COMPONENT object and move into the SCH_SCREEN object that owns the
symbol. This was done to ensure that there is a single place where the
library symbol links get resolved rather than the dozen or so different
code paths that previously existed. It also removes the necessity of the
SCH_COMPONENT object of requiring any knowledge of the symbol library table
and/or the cache library.
When opening an s-expression schematic, the legacy cache library is not
loaded so any library symbols not rescued cannot be loaded. Broken library
symbol links will have to be manually resolved by adding the cache library
to the symbol library table and changing the links in the schematic symbol.
Now that the library symbols are embedded in the schematic file, the
SCH_SCREEN object maintains the list of library symbols for the schematic
automatically. No external manipulation of this library cache should ever
occur.
ADDED: S-expression schematic and symbol library file formats.
Now only reposition a window if it is completely on a
disconnected display or if only one corner is on screen
and it is within a region close to the screen border.
CHANGED: Window position on startup should be preserved more
For some obscure reason, on Windows, when killing Kicad from the Windows
task manager if a editor frame (schematic, library, board editor, fp editor)
is open and has some edition to save, OnCloseWindow is run twice
*at the same time*, creating race conditions between OnCloseWindow() code.
Fixes#4072https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/4072
Please note that the symbol cache is not embedded in the schematic file
to allow for round robin testing with the existing file format. Once
the parser round robin testing is complete, the symbol cache will be
embedded in the schematic file.
Keeping a pointer to the actual file history inside a special
file history menu led to many cases of use after free crashes,
so instead rework the actual file history to add the menu
items.

This fixes two display issues in the project template selector. The
first captured HTML tags in the template title display and the second
prevented more than one line for showing (at least on GTK) in the

This size should be the last size saved when closing the manager.
However it was frequently clamped to a smaller size by the aui manager that set a "best" size, not the asked size.
It's a bit of a hack because they're statically initialized and

Delete the copy ctor and assignment operator to start with, but
even then the separate apps each have their own statically allocated
copy of the common actions. So we need to update all of them, which
also means having the kicad manager frame's set of actions on hand).
This changelist also adds a Clear Hotkey Assignment function since
the hotkeys set is now likely to be sparse with respect to the
actions.
The fix used in commit 1e4abac57 to build kicad binary does not work for pcb_calculator.
So I used a ugly but basic trick to force linking some undefined functions found in gal lib.
This issue could be msys2 specific.
* Circular gal<->common dependency bites again. Add 'common'
again to the 'kicad' target's link libraries. libgal.a depends
on SHAPE_POLY_SET in common, but common depends on gal. This is
not a real fix, but it unsticks Linux compilations. Fixing the
circular dep is an existing bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1832229
* Missing LEGACY_HK_NAME for ACT_EndTuning: this was probably accidentally
allowed on some other platform due to different wxString constructors.
On Linux/GCC, it breaks.
* Unused include from /kicad in export_vrml.cpp. This is not findable
on Linux, as pcbnew does not include the right dirs for this to be
found. But it's not used, so just remove it.
This is a stop gap fix. It should be possible to use the wxFrame title
string for this but some of the frame windows have appropriated the title
string for configuration file naming purposes which is less than ideal.

This allows us to make the various netlist and pcb update routines
more atomic and less reliant on carefully sequenced asynchronous
messages.
This is also a prelude to adding support for footprint testing
without a netlist.
When creating a new project from a template, we should follow the
same workflow as creating an empty project. Without this, the project
requires the directory to exist and the form doesn't allow creating new
directories (in GTK3 at least).
Wayland is not yet compatible with wxWidgets (or rather the other way
around). Until this happens, we must force the x11 compositor while

GTK3 provides for additional input devices via xinput2. These include
touchscreens and continuous scroll devices. But wxWidgets does not have
specialized handlers for these events, so they double up for some
devices. Until wxWidgets allows us to handle these events, we specify
that the input handler should be the old-style GDK_CORE.
GTK3 does a fade in/fade out routine for scrollbars by default. This
was problematic as it caused a cascade of full-screen repaint events on
each mouse event. Instead of disabling scrollbars (which only helped
the full canvas), we force the old scrollbar behavior is environmental
variables.
Revert "gtk3: Remove scrollbars"
This reverts commit db43bd82a7.
Libpolygon can provide its own includes via target_include_dirs PUBLIC.
This means any linking targets do not need to specifiy them manually.
As common requires polygon, the polygon dep is also now no longer
required downstream of libcommon, as it's transisitvely implied
by libcommon's target_link_libraries.
This resolves a circular dependency previously detected and also
simplifies CMakeLists.
The bitmap definitions (BITMAP_DEF and so on) do not
have any dependencies on other libs, including WX. This
means the bitmaps library can be isolated from the other
dependencies.
Common now depends on bitmaps, and libraries that depend
on common can pick it up from the common target_link_libraries,
as it is PUBLIC. This means a lot of targets no longer
need manual bitmap linkage.
This avoids a circular dependency that was previously reported
by static analysis.
Avoiding pulling in WX and other headers into the include
tree of each bitmap .cpp is a huge speed up (around 10x) in
compilation, and the generated static library is also 10x
smaller (20MB vs 200MB)
Add common as a link library to pnsrouter,connectivity.
THese library do still use common code (including bitmaps,
via base_screen.h) and this allows them to pick up the libcommon
includes correctly.
Use the AddFileExtListToFilter() to also generate the
wildcard for "all files". This is because:
* Users can use AddFileExtListToFilter for the all files WC
with the same interface as for any other extensions.
* Users do not need to worry about wxGetTranslation, as the
_() is applied in the same way as the other *Wildcard() helpers,
and it is a function just like the others, so it is consistent
* There is a testable interface to document the expected result.
The test is added.
The standard DIM() macro was not typesafe as it happily deferred errors
to runtime that can be caught at compile time. Replacing it with a
generic C++11 constexpr allows for typecasting, comparison and compile
time error checking.
The hotkey name "Help (this window)" does not describe what the hotkey
and associated action does. It displays the current hotkey list, so the
action name should reflect that behavior

Primary change is to replace most control/window borders with

chance of being correct.
Add a new KICAD_USER_TEMPLATE_DIR environment variable which clearly
should be the path of the user defined templates. Users most likely
were not even aware of the old default user path unless they read the
fine manual.

After Eagle project import, schematic and board netlists are inconsistent:
footprints do not have sheetpaths assigned, schematics are unannotated.
One can update netlist either by references or timestamps, but timestamps
are empty in pcbnew, and updating by reference must by preceded by
annotation which may lead to broken links between board and schematics
(Eagle does not require references to end with a number, so KiCad annotater
will add numbers in such cases).
To fix the problem, there is a two step netlist update:
- update by reference without the annotation step, to assign
correct sheetpaths to footprints
- update by timestamp, after symbols are annotated, in order to
update references in the board

Now, if not yet opened, the schematic editor frame is created, and shown iconized.
(although iconize it is perhaps not the best option)
It fixes a few (minor) issues (when the schematic editor frame is created, but not shown):
- On OSX the schematic frame is shown as a "ghost" frame.
- If later, the schematic editor is opened from Kicad, a message saying the schematic is already opened is shown.
This is technically true, but unexpected by user.
- If symbols need an annotation, the annotation dialog is opened, can can modify the schematics.
So it could be better to really open the schematic editor frame.
Major cleanup of many icons (started as a simple effort to tweak libedit and modedit icons)
Ref: https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg32860.html
* Each application icon has been updated
* Consolidated icon "modifiers" across many icons
* Replaced confusing arrows with "load" and "save" icons
* Slight code updates to reference correct icons
* Consolidate multiple representations of single icon type(s)
This is meant as a stopgap for 5.0, with plans to add proper scaled
icons in the 6.0 cycle. A function KiScaledBitmap() is added, which
works like KiBitmap() except it scales the bitmap according to the
calling window's font size. Controls have been added to all the main
applications to let the user select scaling manually (these were omitted
from smaller apps that didn't already have a place to put them).
In addition, in eeschema only, the pixel height of the system font is
shown in the options dialog for diagnostics. This is only for collecting
feedback before 5.0 release from users with different displays and will
be removed.
When active project flag is disabled, the application buttons are
disabled in the main launcher window. It usually happens when 'kicad'
runs without any project preloaded.
There is a significant difference in the behavior of wxFileDialog
between Windows and Linux (GTK+). On windows, wxFileDialog will
return the path chosen even if no file is selected. On Linux,
wxFileDialog returns the default path when no file is selected. This
caused the destination path to be the same path as the source which
was causing the issue. Use wxDirDialog instead so the selected path
is returned.

The GTK+ file dialog is case sensitive however it does support regular
expressions. Most of the file dialog wildcards are lower case so only
files with the lower case extensions will show up in the file dialog.
This code adds a method to convert file extensions of any case to the
appropriate (sch -> [sS][cC][hH]) regular expression on GTK+ builds so
all file extension case combinations will show up in the file dialog.
A note to developers: make sure to add a file extension when setting
when setting the default file argument. If you do don't set an
extension, the GTK+ file dialog will happily append the regular
expression as the file extension which is surely not what you want.
There are still a few known places (mostly gerbview) where there are
some complex wildcard code that has not been converted.
