They are used for chamfered round rect pads, and can be used for custom shaped pads.
No actual change currently, but the shape rotation of custom pads and chamfered rr pads
can be now used in gerber plots.
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.
Setting a line thickness = 0 for graphic objects (circle, rect, line) is
allowed but creates issues for circles that were plotted a non filled shapes
but having a outline thickness = 0.
plotter.h contains now only a header common to all plotters.
The code does not actually change, but it allows modifying a specific plotter
without recompiling most of kicad files.
- Clear object attributes before and after plotting a zone.
It avoid using previously defined object attributes when plotting the next zone,
and using therefore incorrect attributes.
- Add aperture attribute to filled zone solid polygons (regions in Gerber)
Add missing plot and print changes for the new bus entry properties.
ADDED: Junction properties diameter and color can now be edited.

Previously, the region was a usual polygon with arc approximated by segment.
Using a region with arcs is a better way because it allows CAM tools to
identify this region as a round-rect pad.
A side effect is a better shape and smaller files, however not really noticeable in fact.
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.
Standard apertures are circle, rect, oblong and polygon (regular polygonal shapes with 3 to 12 vertices)
The support of the standard aperture type polygon was missing in Gerber plotter.
This corrects an issue with fill segments-per-circle and moves the error
to segmetns calculation down in a number of functions to expose the
single value for approximation
Uses existing grouping in SVG output. Sets schematic components as a
grouped element in SVG as well as pcbnew elements per layer.
