Should allow Pcbnew code easier to change and Gerbview code more understandable and easier to maintain.
Code cleaning (remove dead code, add comments).
Minor other enhancements.
Eeschema: one string with a bad char (\a, not useable in internationalized strings).
Dialog_page_settings: use not translated strings in code, so strings can be freely translated for the UI.
(Initial code was not working with existing translations)
Update 2 icons.
* make 2 bitmaps more visible.
* fix incorrect screen redraw when rotating a component.
* netlist : the pcbnew advanced format can be now stored (persistant option) in project config.
Pcbnew:
* graphic_item_properties_base.fbp * dialog pad edit: make some strings more easier to translate.
* global pad edition: fix a bug that change pad position instead of pad size (round pas only).
Eeschema:
* fix a bug: new created wires were not alwaes shows until the screen was redrawn.
* Added a dialog to select options: one or 2 files, units (mm or inch), and force INSERT option.
* code cleaning
* Modify corresponding icon in menu to show a footprint, not a schematic component.
note: the Module editor save it with default orientation and layer, but the archive function does not, so some footprints can be not editable.
TODO: modify the Archive Function to use the default layer / orientation.
Fix bug 880132 (Justify not correct)
Note: justifications are now always relative to the text, in libedit (as before) and schematic editor:
if rotated, justification is rotated, because in Pcbnew rotation can have any value.
More about code refactoring in connect.cpp: RecalculateAllTracksNetcode() is 50 times faster with a board using 27000 tracks
Use right icon in pcbnew for load board and new board.
* Move various locate functions into the appropriate board item object.
* Unified best zoom for all frames derived from PCB_BASE_FRAME.
* Remove track.cpp as it is no longer needed.
* Dead code removal.
* Remove scary frame window pointer member from board item objects.
* Add draw bounding box to gerber draw item for debugging purposes.
* Replace use of wxICON by new icons declaration.
* Remove unused files.
* Fix filenames inconsistencies between old and new icons.
* dialog_erc handle variable size icons in erc matrix.
Remove or move old .ico and .pgn files and add new icons (.ico files and .png files) in bitmaps_png/icons and bitmaps_xpm/icons
.png files and .ico are used to build desktop shortcuts
Handle variable size bitmaps in kicad.
