* Fix unitialized variable in MSG_PANEL_ITEM default ctor.
* Fix a bunch of uncaught exception issues.
* Fix a memory leak in the NETLIST_READER::GetNetlistReader() when an
an attempt to read an invalid net list file occurs.
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.
* Correct all user strings and comments for the correct capitalization of
application names according to JP. They are KiCad, Pcbnew, CvPcb,
Eeschema, and GerbView.
* Add a note the the user interface policy about the correct capitalization.
* All header files used to create the PCB common library now compile as
stand alone code. This prevents the need to define them in a specific
order to make source code compile properly. It should also now be
possible to relocate the source code to build the common PCB library
to a separate folder.
* macros.h now has TO_UTF8() and FROM_UTF8() which are working converters
to and from UTF-8 encoding for any wxWidgets build mode. We can switch to
them at any time. I am using them now for specctra conversions and
elsewhere where I wanted gauranteed UTF8 encoding.
* added OUTPUTFORMATTER::Quoted( const wxString& ) to simplify converting
to UTF8 encoded s-expression atoms. The recommended technique is now simply:
out->Quoted( wxString ).c_str()
* DSNLEXER::NextTok() now uses two separate modes to parse quoted strings.
This gives us the freedom to control our own destiny separate from the
constraints put on us by the Specctra DSN spec.
* Added Documentation/s-expressions.txt to explain all this.
* Enhanced our quoting protocol by moving away from doubling up double quotes
to a C line escape mechanism.
* Now support multi-line strings, which when properly escaped, can still be
read in as a token originating on a single line.
* TokenList2DsnLexer.cmake now supports comments, which start with a leading
# character, and may be either on their own line or on a line after a token.
* DSNLEXER::PopReader() now pops even the last LINE_READER* and returns it.
++pcbnew:
* SPECCTRA_DB now inherits from new class SPECCTRA_LEXER, which led to a great
deal of simplification and code factoring.
* Moved specctra keywords into specctra.keywords.
