* Create new GEDA PCB plug in.
* Add support for opening GEDA PCB footprints with module editor.
* Make import footprint file dialog remember last selected footprint
type during current session.
* Update module editor file import to use new GEDA PCB plug in.
* Let IO_MGR know about GEDA PCB plug in.
* Create a WHITESPACE_FILTER_READER to simplify parsing GEDA PCB footprint
files.
their type, by using the more abstract PLUGIN::Footprint*() functions.
This is an intermediate phase only, other changes will be necessary as library table support comes in.
Encapsulate usage of library path searching, since that will go away as library table support comes in.
Add FOOTPRINT_EDIT_FRAME::{get,set}LibPath() and FOOTPRINT_EDIT_FRAME::{get,set}LibNickName() functions
to provide this encapsulation.
This required the additional compiler command line option "-std=c++0x".
2) Switch to unique_ptr from auto_ptr which is C++ deprecated.
3) Change to new English layer names per mailing list discussion, see class_board.cpp.
4) When saving to *.kicad_pcb or *.kicad_mod, identify opportunities to use wildcard
layer sets, for pads so far.
5) Switch to two std::string hashtables in pcb_parser.cpp, away from one wxString based one
for layer names and layer sets mapping. One hashtable holds the mask, the other the index.
Layer sets are only in the mask table.
6) Move "LOCALE_IO toggle" into PCB_IO::Format() since it is a public API function and
caller should find it as convenient as possible to use. LOCALE_IO should handle
nesting OK in the case where public Format() is called from one of the Footprint*()
functions.
7) Drop support for "export module to new library". Creating new libraries will have to
be handled in concert with library table entries, and we've talked recently about
creating a better footprint library manager, one that resides in a DLL/DSO. So
this kind of functionality needs to be handled in there in the near future.
8) Change name of exported PCB_IO module/footprint to *.kicad_mod and not *.emp.
can be parsed, since they do not have an overriding layer name map
like a BOARD does.
Avoid doubly looking up hashtable entries in m_layerMap.
Minor code reformatting.
* If this param is set to 0, the previous behavior is used.
* Else the solder mask is plotted as polygon, with shapes near than this min width value are merged.
Pcbnew in nanometer version: fix a serious rounding issue due to the fact dialogs were using 4 digits for mantissa.
* This is not enough for nanometer coordinates ( 8 are needed to display a value in inches),
* so sometimes after closing a dialog, some coordinates were modified, although no new value was entered.
Minor other bug fixed.
* Add footprint methods to PCB_IO.
* Add FP_CACHE and FP_CACHE_ITEM for handling new footprint library design.
* Add code to save legacy libraries in new format.
* Change behavior of BOARD_ITEM::GetLayerName() to return the default layer
name when the item does not have a BOARD as a parent.
* Minor changes to the module output formatter when writing to module library
files (no BOARD as parent).
* Add new (and some that I forgot along the way) CMake flags to
EDA_BASE_FRAME::CopyVersionInfoToClipboard().
* Add -Wno-narrowing to GCC flags to stop GCC 4.7 from complaining about
a conversion from int to unsigned in the Boost polygon library.
* Add INPUT_STREAM_READER to richio.cpp to allow using any object derived
from wxInputStream as a LINE_READER (needs to be validated).
SVG export does not use no more wxWidgets wxDC.
In pcbnew SVG files can be created by plot menu (in B&W) or export SVG menu (B&W or Color).
Export SVG menu is more suitable to create a view of a board, and plot menu is better to create a B&W document of silkscreen layers.
(In the future, the 2 menus could be merged, because they are not very different).
Note: pcbnew plot code is cleaned, mainly in dialog files, but still needs more cleanup.
clean duplicate code.
Simplify HPGL dialog: plot offet removed and replace by only one option (plot origin to center of sheet or not)
This is surely enought.
Mainly to plot drill maps, but can be used to plot boards, for documentation.
The print svg still exists, but the plot SVG has more options (mirroring, holes in pads),
however print svg allows color print, and full board printing, and plot does not.
and therefore tracks are now dragged when a end point is inside a pad, not necessary on the pad position.
However, drag functions still need more cleanup.
therefore tracks which have a end point inside a pad, but not necessaryexactly to the pad position are seen as connected, and are no more removed.
Side effect: reconnect to pads option is removed, because it is useless.
TODO: use this algorithm in drag functions.
Minor other fixes
Kicad manager: shows now svg files in tree files.
Pcbnew: fix incorrect printing (board out of page) when creating drill map in postscript format ( noticeable mainly for small boards)
connection, no matter if it is originating locally or from the outside
of the host. There is no check in place to discard non-local
connections. The only security against a malicious attack would be
provided by a local firewall, which is not guaranteed to be installed on
every workstation kicad is used on.
I tested this, and a host running eeschema accepts connections on TCP
port 4243 from other hosts on the internet.
A patch to remedy this potentially serious security hole is attached. It
creates the listener on localhost instead. A flag is provided to allow
the creation of sockets on 0.0.0.0 instead, if required. localhost is
the default.
This is *a work in progress*, so some features are missing, and/or could be modified.
Mainly keepout zones are not yet exported to autorouters, and pads are not taken in account.
Some code cleanup in polygon.*
* Use index when saving layers to handle translated layer names.
* Add LOCALE_IO switcher when loading s-expression format.
* Make SEGVIA default to through hole to improve file size.
* Don't save default orientation of 0 degrees in TEXTE_MODULE and TEXTE_PCB.
* Don't save default zone configuration parameters.
* Save multiple zone corners on a single line.
* Fixed missing ( check in graphic and module arc parsers.
* Consistency improvements for DRAWSEGMENT and EDGE_MODULE objects.
* Minor tweaks to D_PAD formatting.
* Change save order of drawings to match legacy file format object order.
* Set end point of SEGVIA to start point so the round trip back to legacy
format is the same.
* Fixed bug saving and loading oval pad drill parameters.
* Fixed bug saving and loading rectangular pad deltas.
* Fixed missing layer for PCB_TARGET.
* Fixed EDA_TEXT italic bug. Thanks Dick!
* Remove some left over debug logging statements.
* Apply Dick's patch along with a few minor changes to fix some clashes with
changes in my branch. Thanks Dick!
* Added missing DRAWSEGMENT line angle.
* Fix thru hole pad layer mask issue.
* Add s-expression file parser object and keyword files.
* Fix minor issues with s-expression file formatting.
* Fix a minor bug the zone container fill state parsing in the legacy plugin.
* Move EDA_TEXT visibility definition to eda_text.h.
* Add minor BOARD_ITEM object improvements to support s-expression file
parser.
