There has been a long standing (since the beginning of the project?)
issue with sharing schematics between projects. It has been somewhat
supported for complex hierarchies (a sheet shared multiple times in a
single design) but it has not been well supported for simple hierarchies
(the symbol references cannot be changed in the shared schematic). This
issue has been resolved by moving all of the symbol instance sheet paths
from the symbol definitions in the all of the project files and save all
symbol path instances in the root sheet. This ensures that orphaned
symbol instance paths do not accumulate in shared schematic files and
that designs that reuse schematic in simple hierarchies can how have
different references. It also allows the root schematic from one project
to be uses as a sub-sheet in another project.
When legacy schematics are loaded, all sheet and symbol UUIDs are
converted from time stamps to true UUIDs. This is done to ensure there
are no sheet path instance clashes between projects. That being said,
there are no checks for this. It is assumed that the probability of
UUID clashes is so low that it doesn't make sense to test for them.
This moves EESchema DLIST structures to rtree. These changes are more
fundamental than the pcbnew changes from 9163ac543888c01d11d1877d7c1
and 961b22d60 as eeschema operations were more dependent on passing
drawing list references around with SCH_ITEM* objects.
Netlists do not accept any char in netnames (especially spice).
They must use only "/" as root sheet path name.
Especially _( "<root sheet>" ) breaks netlists because:
- there is a space in name, and special chars (< and >)
- it is a translatable name. so the actual name cannot be managed.
- most of netlist code in Kicad expects a "/" as root path.
Bus upgrades: core new connectivity code
Bus upgrades: eeschema integration and modifications
Bus upgrades: eeschema dialogs
Bus upgrades: netlist export
Bus upgrades: file format changes
Simplify some of the library editing code. There have been a few minor
changes in the behavior of the editor. If the current symbol is deleted
from the library, the next symbol in the library is not loaded. The
deleted symbol is cleared and the current symbol is empty.
Change component to symbol to align with the preferred terminology
discussed on the developer's mailing list.
Add separate update UI event for save library as to enable the menu entry
whenever a library is selected.
Change the select symbol list dialog to a single column using the LIB_ID
format LIB_NICKNAME:LIB_ITEM_NAME so that the selection can be parsed by
LIB_ID.
Add method to expand URI to LIB_TABLE_BASE.
Override wxApp::OnExceptionInMainLoop() in debug builds to make debugging
easier when an unhandled exception occurs in a wxUpdateUIEvent handler.
Change SCH_SCREENS::HasNoFullyDefinedLibIds() to return false when the
schematic has no symbols to prevent the remapping dialog from being run.
Use SCH_COMPONENT part reference when creating netlist rather than looking
up the library symbol.
* Derive SCH_SHEET_LIST from std::vector rather than using internal array
management. Change all internal code to use iterators or array operator
in loops.

and printing.
* Clean up print an plot code to take advantage of new SCH_SHEET_LIST behavior.

object on initialization.
* Create const and non-const version of SCH_SHEET_PATH::GetSheet().
* Derive SCH_SHEET_PATH from std::vector< SCH_SHEET* > and remove unnecessary
assignment operator and list management functions.
* Remove function BuildSheetPathInfoFromSheetPathValue() since it was
effectively an assignment operation.
* Replace all calls to BuildSheetPathInfoFromSheetPathValue() with assignment
operator.

* Add sorting option to SCH_SHEET::GetSheets().
* Add const and non-const version of GetRootSheet() to SCH_SHEET.
* Add GetSheetPaths() function to SCH_SHEET which behaves the same way
as SCH_SHEET_LIST except it uses standard C++ containers and is a much
simpler design.
* Add function to get a list pointers to this sheet and all of it's sub-sheets
to SCH_SHEET.
* Remove unused function SetFootprintField() from SCH_SHEET_PATH.
* Add sheet number that is set by schematic file load order. This duplicates
the previous SCH_SHEET_PATH behavior.
* Uncouple SCH_REFERENCE and SCH_REFERENCE_LIST from SCH_SHEET_PATH.
* Add - operator to SCH_SHEET for comparison purposes. This duplicates the
behavior of SCH_SHEET_PATH::Cmp().
* Uncouple SCH_COMPONENT::GetRef() from SCH_SHEET_PATH and use SCH_SHEET
instead.
* Uncouple SCH_COMPONENT::GetUnitSelection() from SCH_SHEET_PATH and use
SCH_SHEET instead.
* Fix all calls to GetRef() and GetUnitSelection() to pass a pointer to the
appropriate SCH_SHEET object instead of an SCH_SHEET_PATH object.
* Add code to test for sheet path recursion to SCH_SHEET_PATH and SCH_SHEET_LIST.
* Add recursion tests to edit sheet code in Eeschema.
* Add recursion tests to block paste code in Eeschema.

get disassociated from their true PROJECT.

a weak pointer.

*) Romove APPEND support from OpenProjectFiles().
*) Make OpenProjectFiles() robust, even for creating new projects.
*) Load EESCHEMA colors in the KIWAY::OnKiwayStart() rather in window open,
and save them in the .eeschema config file, not in the project file.
*) Fix bug with wxDir() while accessing protected dirs in kicad.exe
*) Consolidate template copying into PROJECT class, not in kicad.exe source.
*) Generally untangle eeschema, making its libraries not global but rather
held in the PROJECT.
- Converted the Next/Prev C casts to static casts and removed the type
unsafe ones
- Splitted as virtual the VIA::Flip member instead of using RTTI
- Heavily refactored the 'unconnected track' cleanup routine
- Misc constification

search criteria.

* Fix bug in hierarchical searches using sheet path pointers which are
destroyed on every search. Use human readable path as last sheet found
in test to prevent comparison of deleted pointers.

pins if the search all fields flags was not set.
* Fix a bug in SCH_COMPONENT::Matches() to use the sheet path to perform
the comparison to the correct reference designator and unit number.

Eeschema: cleaning code. Start work to enhance annotation algorithm.

Works fine if deleting existing annotation, but needs work to be used when the existing annotation is kept .
