* 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.
* Replace use of wxICON by new icons declaration.
* Remove unused files.
* Fix filenames inconsistencies between old and new icons.

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.
Eeschema:
* Graphic texts ans labels: fix fully broken undo/redo code relative to the way undo/redo command
* handles changes (maintly move) for labels
* Fix minor bug for undo command relative to block rotate
* Remove dead code.
* Add new class BITMAP_BASE, and (for Eeschema) SCH_BITMAP to handle bitmap images in schematic.
Remember plot Bitmaps in not possble with all plotters.
* Rename all ADD_MENUITEM_* functions to AddMenuItem and move them to
wxstruct.h since they are used by the Kicad main frame classes.
* Move SET_BITMAP and SETBITMAPS definitions to wxstruct.h.
* Fix a bug in SET_BITMAPS that prevented enabling menu item images on
OSX.
* Rename MsgItem to EDA_MSG_ITEM.
* Remove redundant includes from modified files.
* Doxygen and coding style policy fixes.
* Warn the user that fields with no value and not it the field template list
will be removed from the component before exiting the edit component in
schematic dialog.
* Add a function to TEMPLATES class to check if template list contains a
field with a given name.
* Move the function to display the edit component in schematic dialog into
the SCH_EDIT_FRAME class.
* Doxygen and coding style policy fixes.
* Add general purpose user write permission test function to base
window class.
* Check user write permissions before saving project, schematic and
library files.
* Remove displaying file dialog every time the project file is saved.
* Display absolute paths for non-root sheet file in title bar.
* Remove redundant command table entry from schematic editor.
* Remove unused variables to fix GCC 4.6 warnings.
* The usual Doxygen comment and coding style policy fixes.
* Disable save library command when user does not have permission to write
the active library.
* Append the active library file name displayed in the title bar with read
only when the user does not have write permission.
* Test the selected folder permissions when user chooses the save library
as command.
* The obligatory coding style policy fixes.
* Add in help menu a direct link to the new doc Getting_Started_in_KiCad.pdf, written by contributors (useful for beginners)
* Fix other very minor issues in CvPcb.
* Update howto doc about translation
* Change the minimum required CMake version to 2.6.4 for all build platforms
except Windows and OSX.
* Move all schematic plot code from plot.cpp into the appropriate schematic
objects.
* Create SCH_SCREEN plot method to plot all objects in the schematic
screen.
* Delete plot.cpp and remove it from the CMakeList file.
* Move code from function ClearProjectDrawList() into SCH_SCREEN object
Clear() method.
* Delete eeschema/delsheet.cpp as none of the code in it is ever called.
* Move global spice and net list command line variables into SCH_EDIT_FRAME
object as priviate members and provide access methods.
* Remove unnecessary header includes from eeschema/sheet.cpp.
* Minor coding policy fixes.
* Fix debug build warning (lp:793373).
* Changed sheet edit restore and undo to use object copy and replace method.
* Add minimum width and height constraints when resizing sheets that have
hierarchical pins.
* Fix drag sheet hot key bug.
* Change Doxygen configuration to extract private methods and members
when creating documentation.
* Fix a bunch of Doxygen comment warnings.
* Add drag context menu entry for junctions that actually form a junction
with wires to EESchema.
* Add function to test for junctions to SCH_COLLECTOR class.
* Create annotate type and sort order enums to eliminate magic numbers
used in annotate code.
* Remove duplicate Doxygen comments from annotate.cpp and improve the
actual Doxygen comments in wxEeschemaStruct.h.
* Remove most (not all) variables that were initialized but never used that
cause GCC 4.6 to generate a warning.
* Fix bug in schematic library editor best zoom calculation.
Pcbnew: refresh issue with dialog designe rules under wxWidgets 2.9.2 under WINDOWS (replace wxChoiceBox by wxComboBox, should not change anything for users)
Eeschema: some issues in libedit (when editing a pin )
* Create library collector class.
* Add clarification menu to library editor when multiple items are found
at the current position.
* Add get clarification menu text to all objects derived from LIB_ITEM.
* Add get menu bitmap for all objects derived from LIB_ITEM.
* Improve LIB_PIN bounding box calculation.
* Rename LIB_ITEM::DoGenCopy to doClone to match behavior defined in base
class EDA_ITEM.
* Minor class renaming for improved code consistency.
* Added less than operator to EDA_ITEM.
Also fix a minor zoom page issue in Libedit.
wxMSW, version 2.8.x must be patched.
Some zoom values smaller than 3 to 5 create artifacts on screen, mainly values < 1.
(corresponding to draw scale factor > 1 )
* see http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/9554
This is fixed in version 2.9.x
Workaround: ( that is not a full fix, but remaining artifacts are acceptable )
edit file edit file <wxWidgets>/src/msw/dc.cpp
>> search for line
static const int VIEWPORT_EXTENT = 1000;
>> and replace by
static const int VIEWPORT_EXTENT = 10000;
