* Convert user interface guidelines to markdown and add to the documentation
created by Doxygen.
* Remove HOW_TO_CONTRIBUTE.txt. This information is covered elsewhere.
* Remove wxWidgets_patch_notes.txt.
* Paths defined via pcbnew->Preferences->Configure Paths are now included in
the 3D file browser's drop-down list except for KICAD_PTEMPLATES, KIGITHUB,
KISYSMOD, any paths resembling a URL, and any non-existent paths. When an
absolute path is shortened using one of these path aliases, let's say
'KISYS3DMOD' then the name appears in the pcb file as "${KISYS3DMOD}/blah.wrl".
If a user defines and actual environment variable with the same name, then
that user defined variable will have precedence over the internally defined
variable.
* Paths relative to the current project directory are no longer represented
as "some/path/to/file.wrl". For compatibility with previous KiCad versions
it shall always be stored as ${KIPRJMOD}/some/path/to/file.wrl.
* Various restrictions on alias path values have been removed since the
imposed restrictions could result in corrupted user data as aliases are
silently dropped.
* Overall the patch should improve back-compatibility by providing a ${ENV_VAR}
mechanism for supporting different model root directories and ensuring that
paths relative to KIPRJMOD are expressed in a way that is compatible with
earlier KiCad versions. This allows users more flexibility and the ability
to work in a way that ensures 3D model files can be correctly resolved in
earlier versions of KiCad. Users who do not care about back-compatibility
may prefer to use the newer alias system.
Fixa also a corner case which crashes Pcbnew: if the dialog is opened, and the board was changed (reloaded, cleared), pcbnew crashed because many pointers stored in dialog become invalid. Now the dialog is just closed.
* Add event handler to check all button clicks for default command event
IDs and handle them appropriately by either calling EndQuasiModal() or
passing the event up the event handler chain to allow the default dialog
handlers to perform their magic.
* Add event handler to handle the close window event properly.
* Add scope brackets so the wxBusyCursor will stop being displayed when
the footprint library loading is complete in CvPcb.
The attached patch fixes a segfault due to a race condition.
If a user starts eeschema with an empty sheet and clicks
the 'cvpcb' button, memory is corrupted and the program
segfaults. The issue appears to arise from multiple threads
accessing the 3D cache and resolver. This patch makes
relevant code thread-safe by using a wxCriticalSection.
* Remove the artificial footprint library read error limit to prevent
potentially readable libraries from being loaded after the error limit
is reached.
* Change error message dialog to an HTML dialog so that potentially large
error messages can be displayed with scrolling and the ability to copy
and paste the error message for bug reporting purposes.
* Add busy cursor when loading the footprint libraries so the user has some
idea that something is happening while the footprint libraries are being
loaded.
* wxFileDialog ctor was setting the file name using the most recently used
path which was incorrect. Set the file path parameter to the most recently
used path and the file name parameter to an empty string.
* Remove last used import path and use the application wide most recently
path instead.
* Remove last used export path and use the application wide most recently
path instead.
(In this case the schematic frame exists, but some members are not initialized as expected, and a crash happens when calling the schematic editor dtor)
Minor other fix: avoid multiple very similar strings to translate in 3d_filename_resolver.cpp
The attached patch ensures the S3D_MASTER class does not cause
a segfault in pcbnew when used from Python scripting.
The issue is due to an "extern KIWAY* TheKiway" which was exposed
to allow S3D_MASTER to use the new resolver to handle 3D filenames.
Unfortunately TheKiway cannot be assigned a value until a window is
created which implements Kiway. The change introduced by this
patch should not alter the behavior of S3D_MASTER compared to
the behavior before the 3D merge.
The extern variable is only there to support S3D_MASTER which in
turn is there to support the current 3DViewer. In the planned software
structure the rather complex S3D_MASTER class is replaced with
a simple struct which only holds the model name and position/
orientation/scale data as stored in the PCB file; since the replacement
does not perform filename resolution there is no need to expose the
Kiway. For example in Mario's branch we removed the extern and
S3D_MASTER class many months ago.
* Prevent power component warning from being shown when edit normal component
fields.
* Make text edit dialog size itself instead of using a fixed size.
* Improve the alignment and spacing in the text edit dialog.
* Refactor edit one field dialogs to use validators and transfer data to and
from window functions.
* Add code to DIALOG_SHIM to handle validation and transfer functions since
the base dialog class code is not called by EndQuasiModal().
* Add custom validator class for filtering field text control characters.
* Add new field validator to edit schematic component dialog field text
control.
* Add new field validator to edit fields in library editor dialog field
text control.
* Make a few LIB_PART member functions const.
