Setting the environment variable KICAD_ENABLE_WXTRACE now enables wx
trace logging on all platforms. MSW still requires its original
environment variables to be set to get the console displayed.
This is purely loading in the background based and has no artificial delay.
Will be more useful once kicad.exe ends up loading more on launch immediately ;)
Right now the splash is probably visible the longest launching pcbnew standalone.
The actual splash image can be considered a placeholder
When editing or viewing library symbols, the files are watched for
underlying changes. If any occur, the user is either prompted to reload
(if reloading would overwrite their current edits) or the file is
silently updated to the current version on disk.
This also sets a custom assertion handler to avoid unneeded crashes when
recieving invalid SAMBA packets and turns off assertions entirely when
running in release (non-debug) mode
We block events when a modal window is active. But detecting when the
modal window is closed is harder on GTK than just counting modal closes
because the modal flag can sometimes be unset before the wxEVT_SHOW
event fires. Instead, we track the stack of modal windows opened and
close the window and subsequent windows when the object pointer matches

The first phase is for the environment before the OS
apps are created, and the second phase is for after
the OS app is created but before all of our processing.

So the new steals-focus protection stuff works well when there's a
focused control, but not as well when there's a modal dialog up which
happens not to have a focused control (or worse, a focusable control).
This adds a second mechanism for also checking to see if a modal dialog
is up (something that wxWidgets, true to form, makes very difficult).

Before this, the environment variables inside Python wouldn't reflect
the updates to them made after the interpreter was started in Pcbnew.
This will call into Python and set the variables when they are changed,
since Python can't synchronize itself when running in an embedded
interpreter.

Remove translation mark for strings used in debug, or strings
that cannot be translated (for instance because they are char strings
instead of wide char strings)
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.
Wayland is not yet compatible with wxWidgets (or rather the other way
around). Until this happens, we must force the x11 compositor while
running. Under wayland, this will map to the wayland-x11 compatibility
layer.
