When pcbnew is built with python support, the env vars defined inside Kicad
(and used mainly in paths) are rewritten for the python environment.
Unfortunately, the values are rewritten as UTF8 string, but in Kicad they are
just expected in utf32 unicode values.
This is now fixed by rewriting the initial values in Kicad env, after the
python environment is initialized.
The performance of live resizing isn't great. Windows can send mouse moves at 1000 Hz which is faster than the complex appearance panel + canvas can paint properly.
The groundwork has now been laid for per sheet instance data. Initially
this only supports sheet page numbers but could be expanded to include
other per sheet instance information.
ADDED: Support for user defined schematic page numbers.
Correctly hide netnames in high contrast mode
Correct highlighting for blind/buried/micro via drills
Repaint vias when needed to support stacked microvias

Two main changes: netclass values need to go through the DRC engine
so they can interact with other rules. They're also now dependent
on the layer being routed as well as the start object.
Also make the controls adjust to each other better. For instance,
copy-track-width needs to turn off when you select a particular
track width, and a particular track width needs to zero out when
you choose copy-track-width.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5951
This will always show 1 unit from each system, with the primary unit
being the current frame unit and the secondary unit being the
most recent unit used from the other system. These are saved in
the settings, so they are saved between runs.
ADDED memberOf() function for DRC rule expressions.
Also fixes a bug in several of the pickers where the event wasn't
being correctly passed.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5647
These objects can now be used in advanced DRC rules and
not just for keeping things out. Also remove the restriction
that at least one of the "basic" keepout rules must be set,
so that these areas can be used for more advanced rules.
OnBoardChanged must run after LoadProjectSettings.
Move the local overrides to PCB_EDIT_FRAME::onBoardLoaded
so that they are run after the panel is initialized.
This may affect other EDA_DRAW_FRAME objects as well but it doesn't seem
to be as noticeable in the symbol, footprint, and worksheet editors.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5248
The variables in the common settings struct are only updated on
save, so Python must use the ones from Pgm to get its values.
This does lead to the observation that Python's changes to the
variables do affect KiCad (they can break resolvers). So apparently
it can mess with us but we can't mess with it easily.
Also, improve the environment variable tracing infrastructure to capture
more changes.
Before this, the environment variables inside Python wouldn't reflect
the updates to them made after the interpreter was started in Pcbnew.
This will call into Python and set the variables when they are changed,
since Python can't synchronize itself when running in an embedded
interpreter.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5071
This isn't truely correct, because it is pointing to the
main KiCad path, but it is more correct than pointing to
the system path. This should really be pointing to the
user path
(see https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/5115)
This is particularly important to keep the user from having to
enter overly verbose statements such as:
A.Type == 'via' && A.Via_Type == 'buried'
when:
A.Via_Type == 'buried'
is perfectly clear.

Per discussion on the developers list, this old system
no longer provides much value and is seen as annoying
by many users. The new save logic should prevent any
cases of file corruption on save, which was a major
reason for the backup file system existing.

Various architecture upgrades to support this.
Creating a BOARD now requires a valid PROJECT, which caused
some (mostly transparent) changes to the Python API internals.

BuildConnectivity updates the ratsnest after it completes. By compiling
the ratsnest before connectivity, we update it twice with the dirty flag
being reset after connectivity updates.
* Consolidate the measure tool into one tool (this gives cvpcb
unit changing and snapping capabilities in its measure tool)
* Transition cvpcb to use actions for the sketch modes
* Replumb how magnetic items settings are stored and used
* Move it to a panel along with the canvas to have a better UI
* Allow the infobar to automatically close after a set time
CHANGED: The eeschema find notifications now use the infobar instead of
a popup window
This widget allows for non-intrusive display of text
above the editing canvas. Currently, this is used
for displaying the read only status of the files.
Migrate COLOR_SETTINGS 0->1 to remove fpedit section
Migrate FOOTPRINT_EDITOR_SETTINGS 0->1 to use new theme if created
Remove COLOR_CONTEXT that is no longer needed
* Push all sizing operations into EDA_BASE_FRAME
* Save the unmaximized window size when maximizing
so that we can then save it in the config if the
window is maximized. Otherwise the config ends up
with the maximized size saved, and weird behavior
occurs when unmaximizing on the next opening.
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
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.
By making it quasimodal, it allows the main KiCad window and Eeschema
to be used still, if it were just modal then it blocks out all other
windows.

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

CHANGED: Settings are now stored in versioned sub-directories
ADDED: First-run dialog for migrating settings from a previous version
CHANGED: Settings are now stored as JSON files instead of wxConfig-style INI files
CHANGED: Color settings are now all stored in a separate settings file
CHANGED: The symbol editor and footprint editor now have their own settings files
CHANGED: Color settings are no longer exposed through BOARD object
CHANGED: Page layout editor now uses Eeschema's color scheme
Settings are now managed through a central SETTINGS_MANAGER held by PGM_BASE.
Existing settings will be migrated from the wxConfig format on first run of each application.
Per-application settings are now stored in one class for each application.
Now that the tool framework gracefully shutdowns the tools, graphics
can be created on the stack inside a tool function.
This reverts commit f6881ce3de.
Create an IsContentModified() function in each frame

The pointer passing for display options is deprecated. This removes the
excess casting as the EDA_FRAME didn't need the base call with no value.
All requests for display options are now returned const and are updated
with a Set() routine after modification.
In Gerbview, this resolves an issue where the display options were not
stored because it was receiving the NULL from EDA_FRAME.
* Make the events generated by the selection of context menu items
have the position where the menu was opened
* Ensure that TC_COMMAND type events have their position set to
be the cursor position where the event originated
In singletop mode, all frames show the "Quit" option in the file menu
and will quit on Ctrl-Q. When launched from the main KiCad interface,
sub-programs show the "Close" option instead and will close with Ctrl-W.
In this mode, Ctrl-Q will instruct the main program to exit.

Also changes the presentation of the string when the checkbox appears
so that the "Changes will be lost" warning isn't hidden by the turndown.
This last part may require conditional compilation as it's undocumented.
Lastly, regularizes the Unsaved Changes strings between the apps.
When exiting pcbnew, we only want to run the sections of ClearPcb that
remove the old pcb data. We do not want to queue events that handle
initializing a new pcb. These were caught after freeing memory in some
cases, leading to segfaults.

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.

It was confusing that the primary frames registered their tools
differently than the other frames. In addition, since the other
frames also added their own tools, foo_actions::RegisterAllTools()
didn't really register all tool but rather those used by the
principal frame (PCB_EDIT_FRAME, SCH_EDIT_FRAME, etc.)
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.
Save/restore default netclass.
Read layers back in with correct syntax ('.' between keyword and layer name).
Write layers to project file.
Read/write layer enablement bits.
Don't set solder paste margin min to 0 (most of them are negative).

Autosave was not working correctly, partly due to different
implementations in eeschema and pcbnew and partly due to a mistaken
refactor at some point during v5 development. This unifies the expected
autosave prefix to _autosave- for both pcbnew and eeschema. It also
unifies the expected suffix for the backup files to -bak.

The config was saving a canvas type EDA_DRAW_FRAME member not always accurately initialized.
And the last canvas opened frame setup was saved, not necessary a frame having a canvas type that can be set by user.
This is a broken feature especially because the footprint viewer has a fixed canvas setting.
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.
Currently, GAL is initialised to NONE (i.e. off). This causes
issues when Legacy canvas is broken (i.e. GTK3).
This changes the default to GAL Cairo, both in PCB_EDIT_FRAME
init, and in the config load.
Now, when the user starts with no config, they are prompted for
a choice: OpenGL or Cairo, and one of them will be set up, with
Cairo as fall back.
Users on platforms that still support legacy can go to it as normal
from the menu, but it will not be the default in any circumstance.

wxChoice centers the selection on GTK. So when switching from a
mid-list item to an item at the top, the list is always cut off for

drop-down that allows easier access to all elements in the box.

Primary change is to replace most control/window borders with
AUI pane borders. We implement our own AUI border drawing
routine which avoids the ugly one-pixel white frames around
dark canvasses.
Also increases the signal-to-noise ratio of all the pane
creation code in the various frames.
This also fixes a bunch of bugs where an error during save would
still close the window (rather than cancelling the close action).

Previously, the dialog was created only once, with the current board setup and the current units selection.
Therefore, after changes in board or units, the dialog was really broken.
Now, the dialog is recreated when the plot command is run.
As of v5 footprint library reorganization (one repo per library concept
is replaced with a common repo for all libraries), the Footprint Library
Wizard may handle only the old libraries. It has been replaced with

FreeRouting installation.
* Refresh the view only when changes are made in the caller frame.
* Allows recreate a new instances when try to open the 3D view from a frame taht is not the initial caller
* Remove duplicate code in kicad frames.
This partially reverts 36d36de and 3bac100, moving the legacy footprint
lock/unlock code from the autorouter (which remains disabled) to

Some changes (enable/disable a layer) set the dirty bit even for empty boards.
So when closing pcbnew, the dialog asking for saving the board was shown, even when no board loaded.
Frame, dialog and config file couldn't agree on whether to use
internal units or not.
Frame now stores internal units, and they're now mapped on the
way in/out of the config file. Dialog was already assuming they
were stored in internal units (though they were previuosly not).
