This allows for the tool framework to keep track of a universal
set of conditions for the UI state (enabled/checked/shown) for
controls of actions. It removes the need for the main menubar
menus to be CONDITIONAL_MENUs and be rebuilt on each open,
and instead makes the updates of the check and enabling of
items handled in the native wxWidgets way.

There were a lot of plotters, exporters, etc. that were rolling their
own implementations.
This also introduces a lazily-built set of SHAPE objects for doing
collision detection and some forms of rendering (and later DRC).
Dragging filled zones in OpenGL was extremely slow due to the
invalidated triangulation cache. Moving the zone should also move the
triangles and keep the cache valid.
It's currently only supported in the Footprint Editor. It could be
easily added to the board editor (all the code is there), but the board
editor is a little short on room in the drawing tools toolbar.
A note to developers, please do not set the minimum and/or size of bitmap
buttons. It causes bitmaps to get clipped using GTK on Linux. If the
bitmap button size is not acceptable, then supply an appropriately sized
bitmap rather than attempt to force the wxWidgets sizing mechanism to do
what you want. This almost always causes platform differences that do
not work well.
You can now choose the behavior of dragging with the
middle and right mouse buttons.
You can also choose which modifier keys to use for
panning and zooming with the scroll wheel or trackpad.
You can also customize the zoom speed, which makes
it possible to have a good zoom experience on a wider
range of input devices.
You can also now zoom by dragging with the right or
middle button if desired.

The 3d viewer is the last component to not use the action framework, so

The floor render in raytracing creates interesting shadow effects but
significantly increasing the processing time for renders and has the
side effect of making the bottom of the board very dark if you simply
flip it over. Making this option off by default, we allow power users

raytrace and preventing new user confusion.
Given that we compare the dot product (square of length) to s_min_dot,

This corrects an issue with fill segments-per-circle and moves the error

Provide a toolkit-agnostic interface for "busy indicators", which
allows the 3D viewer to show a busy cursor, without the canvases

The motivation here is to decouple the 3D renderers from the WX

active window (e.g. for offscreen rendering).
Otherwise, attempting to use a wxBusyCursor without a GUI
available is an instant segfault.

The 3D viewer also uses OpenGL, so it also needs to

Currently, the plugindir in the plugin manager is constructed as

bitmaps.h was included in nearly every file in the project due to it

Only about 130 files actually use the XPM definitions defined there, and

This commit moves the bitmap-related types like BITMAT_DEF out to a new
header, which is still included by base_struct.h, which is less
avoidable for now, it's it's used in the interface.
The icon list is still in bitmaps.h. This has the side effect that's
it's now easier to automatically generate this file.

KISYSMOD, any paths resembling a URL, and any non-existent paths. When an
absolute path is shortened using one of these path aliases, let's say
'KISYS3DMOD' then the name appears in the pcb file as "${KISYS3DMOD}/blah.wrl".
If a user defines and actual environment variable with the same name, then
that user defined variable will have precedence over the internally defined
variable.
* Paths relative to the current project directory are no longer represented
as "some/path/to/file.wrl". For compatibility with previous KiCad versions
it shall always be stored as ${KIPRJMOD}/some/path/to/file.wrl.
* Various restrictions on alias path values have been removed since the
imposed restrictions could result in corrupted user data as aliases are
silently dropped.
* Overall the patch should improve back-compatibility by providing a ${ENV_VAR}
mechanism for supporting different model root directories and ensuring that
paths relative to KIPRJMOD are expressed in a way that is compatible with
earlier KiCad versions. This allows users more flexibility and the ability
to work in a way that ensures 3D model files can be correctly resolved in
earlier versions of KiCad. Users who do not care about back-compatibility
may prefer to use the newer alias system.
The attached patch fixes a segfault due to a race condition.
If a user starts eeschema with an empty sheet and clicks
the 'cvpcb' button, memory is corrupted and the program
segfaults. The issue appears to arise from multiple threads
accessing the 3D cache and resolver. This patch makes
relevant code thread-safe by using a wxCriticalSection.
(In this case the schematic frame exists, but some members are not initialized as expected, and a crash happens when calling the schematic editor dtor)
Minor other fix: avoid multiple very similar strings to translate in 3d_filename_resolver.cpp
The attached patch ensures the S3D_MASTER class does not cause
a segfault in pcbnew when used from Python scripting.
The issue is due to an "extern KIWAY* TheKiway" which was exposed
to allow S3D_MASTER to use the new resolver to handle 3D filenames.
Unfortunately TheKiway cannot be assigned a value until a window is
created which implements Kiway. The change introduced by this
patch should not alter the behavior of S3D_MASTER compared to
the behavior before the 3D merge.
The extern variable is only there to support S3D_MASTER which in
turn is there to support the current 3DViewer. In the planned software
structure the rather complex S3D_MASTER class is replaced with
a simple struct which only holds the model name and position/
orientation/scale data as stored in the PCB file; since the replacement
does not perform filename resolution there is no need to expose the
Kiway. For example in Mario's branch we removed the extern and
S3D_MASTER class many months ago.
