* All items shapes are converted to polygons.
* Polygons are merged layer by layer (for calculation time reasons,zones are not merged)
* for copper layers, vias and pads holes are substracted from polygons (but, for calculation time reasons, not inside zones areas).
* the look is better, mainly when displaying the copper thickness
* solder and paste layers are now shown in 3D viewer.
* the code was seriously cleaned (but still needs to be enhanced).
* Note this is a work in progress which needs refinements.
- Removed spurious int casts (these are truncated anyway and will break
doubles)
- Applied the Distance, GetLineLength, EuclideanNorm, DEG2RAD, RAD2DEG
ArcTangente and NORMALIZE* functions where possible
- ArcTangente now returns double and handles the 0,0 case like atan2, so
it's no longer necessary to check for it before calling
- Small functions in trigo moved as inline
* Fixed a bug in PCB_EDIT_FRAME::loadFootprints when no footprint libraries
are found when attempting to load footprints.
* Add a warning to PCB_EDIT_FRAME::loadFootprints to inform the user when
a footprint library file cannot be found in any of the standard library
search paths.
* Changed FOOTPRINT_INFO::m_padCount to unsigned to prevent signed/unsigned
comparison compiler warnings.
* Put NestedSpace() function in netlist_reader.cpp inside conditional debug
build statement to prevent warning in release builds.
In most case the assignment to null was not necessary since it was easily provable that the (local) variable wouldn't have referenced after that anyway.
* Create separate NETLIST object to hold contents of netlist files.
* Read entire netlist and footprint link files before making applying
changes to board.
* Add BOARD::ReplaceNetlist() function to eliminate the calls between the
NETLIST_READER, PCB_EDIT_FRAME, and BOARD objects.
* Change placement of new components below the center of the current board
or in the center of the page if the BOARD is empty.
* Add dry run option to netlist dialog to print changes to message control
without making changes.
* Add button to netlist dialog to allow saving contents of message control
to a file.
* Eliminate the need to compile netlist_reader_*.cpp in both CvPcb and Pcbnew.
* Add netlist_reader_*.cpp to the pcbcommon library.
* Remove redundant load component link file code from CvPcb.
* Modify CvPcb new to work with the new NETLIST_READER object.
* Add compare() function and < and == operators to FPID object.
* Add REPORTER class to hide an underlying string writing implementation for
use in low level objects. Thank you Dick for the idea.
* Lots of minor coding policy, Doxygen comment, and missing license fixes.
Pcbnew: load footprint from modview: Because modview allows user to choose the footprint library, the selected library is forced when the footprint is loaded.
I am not sure this is 100% better, but this new behavior has some advantages, mainly in the footprint editor (you can load a footprint outside the selected library)
bit string version of property_tree. The ram resident structure of the ptree is
mostly compatible with one created using the xml_parser from
boost::property_tree, with slight differences in the way atoms are stored. The
result is you can use Format() to convert from xml to s-expression, but not the
other way around. You can write a simple s-expression beautifier in just a few
lines of code.
The main value however is the s-expression parser, i.e. Scan(), which is an
alternative to crafting a custom recursive descent parser for a particular
grammar. The tipping point depends on whether you want to read only a small
portion of a much larger document. If so, then using the ptree will likely be a
"faster to code" route. Documentation on how to navigate a ptree can be found on
the boost website and there are a number of examples in the
pcbnew/eagle_plugin.cpp file in this project. Powerful path navigation support
makes it easy to extract a subset of a ptree.
the spurious warning about stuff that couldn't be seen when changing
colours.
NOTE that the 'net name' layer is present and configurable but non used
anywhere!
Pcbnew, layer manager: add option (popup menu) to always keep copper layers not visible but the active layer, even when the active layer is changed.
Usefull for multilayer ( more than 4 layers) PCBs.
In particular the new mechanism for handling extended color palettes is in place,
included renaming the ini keys and saving the color name instead of its index; this means better forward compatibility with palette changes.
Since ini keys are changed, colors will be reset
* Complete encapsulation of the MODULE class.
* Complete encapsulation of the EDA_TEXT class.
* Encapsulate most of the ZONE_CONTAINER class.
* Add pcbcommon library as a dependency for reSWIGging the scripting
support. This should cover most dependency cases.
* Encapsulate most of the MODULE class.
* Start encapsulating the DIMENSION class.
* Lay some groundwork for EDA_TEXT encapsulation.
* Move cleverly hidden MODULE functions into class_module.cpp.
* Use std::swap to exchange TEXTE_PCB values for undo/redo.
* Remove unused members from MODULE class.
* The usual coding policy and documentation fixes.
* Make Pcbnew net list dialog honor escape key on Linux.
* Make Pcbnew swap layers dialog honor escape key on Linux.
* Layout and UI policy fixes for Pcbnew swap layer and net list dialogs.
* Layout and UI policy fixes for Eeschema plot dialog.
* Rename fpip.h to fpid.h.
* Fix FPID class compiler errors.
* Restore fpid.cpp to Pcbnew static library source list.
the crosshair after zooming.
This method is only used when the ALT key is held while using the mousewheel or
if it's permanently enabled in the options dialog next to the middle mouse
button panning option.
Pcbnew: in netlist dialog: The user now can choose between the netlist and the .cmp file to import footprints names.
Therfore no need to delete the .cmp file when exists to use only the netlist.
This is useful for users who use CvPcb only once to fill footprints fields in schematic, and after edit/modify the footprints fields in schematic outside CvPcb.
Segment Hit Test: enhanced detection near segment ends (noticeable for instance when clicking on short tracks in Pcbnew.
Remove duplicate code about segment hit test.
remove unused file.
Still try to find a better fix for Bug #1100876, however I am thinking the bug is not in Kicad:
looks like a buggy version of wxWidgets is used, which sends sometimes an unwanted wxCommandEvent event,
when an event::Check() is called inside a function called by a wxUpdateUIEvent event.
* Improve MSG_PANEL_ITEM to handle message panel information.
* Create containers for passing message panel items between objects and
the message panel.
* Rename EDA_ITEM::DisplayInfo to EDA_ITEM::GetMsgPanelInfo.
* Remove all direct manipulation of EDA_DRAW_FRAME from all objects derived
from EDA_ITEM.
Use wxFormBuilder to create EDA_LIST_DIALOG_BASE, like other dialogs.
Minor code cleanup (remove unused functions and coding style fixes) and minor bug fixes.
* 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.
Because now there are 2 formats, board backup files extensions are .brd-bak or .kicad_pcb-bak instead of the old .000 extension, depending on the initial file format.
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.
some functions used in wxWidgets ( like _strdup and few other) are not defined when this option is set.
but the equivalent option -std=gnu++0x works fine so it is used under mingw instead of -std=c++0x.
(Under Linux/OSX the option -std=c++0x is used)
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.
* 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.
