eeschema now supports arbitrary colors for all object types, and
pcbnew does in GAL canvas. When switching from GAL to legacy canvas,
pcbnew will convert colors to the nearest legacy color.
This plugin mechanism is enabled only if option -DKICAD_SCRIPTING_ACTION_MENU=ON (it is off by default)
It imply -DKICAD_SCRIPTING=0N
This is currently for testing purposes only for developers, not yet for users.
Rename FPID to LIB_ID as is now used as a generic library identifier and
is no longer specific to footprints.
Remove all mention of footprint from the new LIB_ID doxygen comments and
code.
Rename files fpid.h and fpid.cpp to lib_id.h and lib_id.cpp.
Rename fp_lib_table.keywords file to lib_table.keywords and adjust CMake
build dependencies accordingly.
Update all source files effected by the code and file name changes.
Update .gitignore for file name changes.
*) Extend SWIG support deeper into the BOARD class.
*) Move swig *.i files into a directory identified for SWIG, in preparation
for a parallel universe involving Phoenix's SIP.
*) Move swig files which will be common to both eeschema and pcbnew into
common/swig.
*) Sketch out a "common" python module, and plan on dovetailing that into a
libkicad_shared.{dll,so}
*) Add common/swig/ki_exceptions.i and define a macro HANDLE_EXCEPTIONS()
which is to be applied to any function which needs C++ to python
exception translation.
*) Move the test for SWIG tool into top level CMakeLists.txt file for use
in all python modules beyond pcbnew, i.e. eeschema and common.
*) Add SWIG_MODULE_pcbnew_EXTRA_DEPS which generates a better Makefile, one
which rebuilds the swig generated *.cxx file when one of its dependencies
change.
*) Re-architect the board.i file so that it can be split into multiple *.i
files easily.
*) Make some KIWAY from python progress, in preparation for Modular KiCad
phase III.
