added the example gen_gerber_and_drill_files_board.py in demos, which shows how to do that.
Fix a Printf format issue (shown in Debug mode) in Libedit (%d used for a size_t, changed in %zu)
legacy plugin: better compatibility with old brd files (current track width and current vias size, stored in SETUP section, were not read from file and incorrectly set)
* if the current select plugin is the github plugin, one can select some of these libraries and add them to the table
* if the current select plugin is the kicad plugin, one can select some of these libraries and download them to make alocal copy.
They can added to the table after they are downloaded.
* Improve VRML export dialog lay out.
* Make the OK button the default action in the export dialog.
* Make 3D model export work correctly and avoid redundant file copies.
* Fix embedded path separators in wrl files on windows.
* Fix absolute model file path creation in wrl files.
* Clean up VRML export code.
- Removed the friends MODULE and FOOTPRINT_EDIT_FRAME from TEXTE_MODULE
(as in the @todo comment)
- Refactored the Rotate/Flip/Mirror for text in modules into the
TEXTE_MODULE class itself (members RotateWithModule, FlipWithModule,
MirrorWithModule)
- New behaviour in coloring text on screen: reference and value still
take the color from the MOD_TEXT_FR_VISIBLE and MOD_TEXT_BK_VISIBLE
visibles; other text takes the color of the layer containing it
(except when hidden, obviously) but still get its visibility
controlled by those visibles (probably the most intuitive and useful
behaviour)
- Still need to decide: should text on a layer be hidden when the layer
is? Probably yes (still to be implemented);
- Some comment fixed and many cast converted to static_cast
*) When kicad.exe closes a project, close any open KIFACEs so that they cannot
get disassociated from their true PROJECT.
*) Allow loading eeschema library editor from kicad.exe
*) Allow loading pcbnew library editor from kicad.exe
*) Rename LIB_COMPONENT to LIB_PART.
*) Add class PART_LIBS, and PART_LIB.
*) Make PART_LIBS non-global, i.e. PROJECT specific.
*) Implement "data on demand" for PART_LIBS
*) Implement "data on demand" for schematic SEARCH_STACK.
*) Use RSTRINGs to retain eeschema editor's notion of last library and part being edited.
*) Get rid of library search on every SCH_COMPONENT::Draw() call, instead use
a weak pointer.
*) Remove all chdir() calls so projects don't need to be CWD.
*) 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.
2) Change from legacy Cu stack to counting down from top=(F_Cu or 0).
The old Cu stack required knowing the count of Cu layers to make
sense of the layer number when converting to many exported file types.
The new Cu stack is more commonly used, although ours still gives
B_Cu a fixed number.
3) Introduce class LSET and enum LAYER_ID.
4) Change *.kicad_pcb file format version to 4 from 3.
5) Change fixed names Inner1_Cu-Inner14_Cu to In1_Cu-In30_Cu and their
meanings are typically flipped.
6) Moved the #define LAYER_N_* stuff into legacy_plugin.cpp where they
can die a quiet death, and switch to enum LAYER_ID symbols throughout.
7) Removed the LEGACY_PLUGIN::Save() and FootprintSave() functions.
You will need to convert to the format immediately, *.kicad_pcb and
*.kicad_mod (=pretty) since legacy format was never going to know
about 32 Cu layers and additional technical layers and the reversed Cu
stack.
