* Fix compil issue about automatically created pcb_plot_params.h :
pcb_plot_params.* moved from pcbnew to common because item_io.cpp (using this file) is compiled in common.
In common.cpp GetTimeStamp is renamed GetNewTimeStamp (a better name).
Pcbnew: prepare work to calculate connections between pads that inteserct and therefore can be connected without any track (composite pads).
* Removed Pcb_Frame argument from BOARD() constructor, since it precludes
having a BOARD being edited by more than one editor, it was a bad design.
And this meant removing m_PcbFrame from BOARD.
* removed BOARD::SetWindowFrame(), since BOARD::m_PcbFrame gone.
* Removed the global BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS which was in class_board.cpp
* Added BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS to the BOARD class, a full instance
* A couple of dialogs now only change BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS when OK is pressed,
such as dialog_mask_clearance, dialog_drc, etc.
* Removed common/pcbcommon.cpp's int g_CurrentVersionPCB = 1 and replaced it
with build_version.h's #define BOARD_FILE_VERSION, although there may be a
better place for this constant.
* Made the public functions in PARAM_CFG_ARRAY be type const.
void SaveParam(..) const and void ReadParam(..) const
* PARAM_CFG_BASE now has virtual destructor since we have various ways of
destroying the derived classes and boost::ptr_vector must be told about this.
* Pass const PARAM_CFG_ARRAY& instead of PARAM_CFG_ARRAY so that we can use
an automatic PARAM_CFG_ARRAY which is on the stack.
* PCB_EDIT_FRAME::GetProjectFileParameters() may no longer cache the array,
since it has to access the current BOARD and the BOARD can change.
Remember BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS are now in the BOARD.
* Made the m_BoundingBox member private, this was a brutally hard task,
and indicative of the lack of commitment to accessors and object oriented
design on the part of KiCad developers. We must do better.
Added BOARD::GetBoundingBox, SetBoundingBox(), ComputeBoundingBox().
* Added PCB_BASE_FRAME::GetBoardBoundingBox() which calls BOARD::ComputeBoundingBox()
* Removed Pcb_Frame argument from BOARD() constructor, since it precludes
having a BOARD being edited by more than one editor, it was a bad design.
And this meant removing m_PcbFrame from BOARD.
* removed BOARD::SetWindowFrame(), and BOARD::m_PcbFrame

Enhanced algorithms to calculate board connections:
Previously, a track was seen connected to a pad only if the track end is
exactly on the pad position.
Now a track is seen connected to a pad if the track end is inside the pad shape.
Algorithm to calculate pads connections to track is still very fast.
However some other functions (drag pads, track len calculation ...)
still need the track end exactly on the pad position.
Dead code removal.
* Replace Eeschema find code with a collector based implementation.
* Fixed a search bug when all subsequent searches of an item would ignore
the remaining valid child items when an item had more than one child
item that matched the search criteria.
* Add SCH_FIND_COLLECTOR class to find all items that meet the specified
search criteria.
* Add SCH_FIND_COLLECT0R_DATA to keep track of information for all matching
items.
* Use collector to iterate over the list of items that match the search
criteria rather than trying to start at the last matched item.
* Remove unused searching methods from sheet path and sheet path list
objects.
* Add replace and replace all functionality to Eeschema find dialog.
* Push matching methods down to EDA_ITEM class so they can be used by
other derived objects.
* Add method to EDA_ITEM to test if item supports replacing.
* Add flag to find/replace data to support replace feature.
* Disable wild card matching check box when dialog is in replace mode as
wild card replacement is not supported at this time.
* The usual Doxygen comment and coding policy fixes.
the GetPosition() and SetPosition() changes. It also starts towards making m_Orientation
and m_Thickness fields private with accessors, but does not complete this latter goal.
* Fix bug in hierarchical searches using sheet path pointers which are
destroyed on every search. Use human readable path as last sheet found
in test to prevent comparison of deleted pointers.
* Fix a bug in SCH_COMPONENT::Matches() that would prevent searching for
pins if the search all fields flags was not set.
* Fix a bug in SCH_COMPONENT::Matches() to use the sheet path to perform
the comparison to the correct reference designator and unit number.
* Fix wrapping in sheet path and sheet path list MatchNextItem methods.
* Push search methods down to EDA_ITEM object so advanced searching can
be performed on all items derived from EDA_ITEM.
* Add virtual method to EDA_ITEM object to test if item supports replacing
text.
* Replace switch statement magic numbers in Eeschema socket connection code
with Pcbnew for improved readability.
* Move the component library save file creation and write error dialogs
into the appropriate frame object.
* Change the save component library and document definitions take an
OUTPUTFORMATTER object instead of a file name.
* Change the component alias save document definition function to take
an OUTPUTFORMATTER object instead of a file handle.
* Replace C malloc() and free() functions with C++ new and delete
operators or the appropriate STL container.
* Add option to end mouse capture function to skip executing the end
mouse capture callback.
* Lots of coding policy and Doxygen comment goodness.
Added configuartion option KICAD_NANOMETRIC for this.
* With option set to false: *
- it should work and compile as usual
- some values are saved with decimal point (which should be backward/forward compatible as old versions should just drop fractional part)
* With option set to true: *
- lengths in Global Design Rules should be settable 1nm steps.
FROM/TO_LEGACY_LU(_DBL) macros introduced for easy interconnection between old and new units.
* Use version of DateAndTime that returns a wxString and delete the
version that takes a char* as it is no longer required.
* Merge StrNumICmp() and StrLenNumICmp() into StrLenNumCmp() to create a
single function for comparing strings with integers and remove a lot
of duplicate code.
* Remove unused strupper from string.cpp.
* Use wxArrayString for sorting the EDA_LIST_DIALOG contents.
* Modify algorithm to correctly calculate the virtual drawing size and
offset required to place the drawing correctly under all conditions.
* Ignore default wxWidgets scroll keys on Windows in EDA_DRAW_PANEL key
event handler.
Lee algorithm replaced by a Minimun Spanning Tree algo (using Prim's algorithm ).
Tested on a 5350 pads board, it is more than 100 times faster.
Also fix a crash when clicking on tool "delete selected items" (main horizontal toolbar),
and remove this tool (currently, no code in Pcbnew for this tool)
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.
* Create command event handler for orienting schematic items and block.
* Remove redundant orient item and block command handler code and IDs.
* Remove redundant cancel current command event table entry.
* Remove unnecessary schematic bitmap object virtual functions.
* Set path when saving schematic sheet files to prevent assertion in
updated path and file write permission test function.
* Restore directory and file name write permission test function to it's
previous behavior to prevent unexpected save results.
* Add an assertion to verify the path is not empty to directory and file
write permission test function.
* Improve documentation for path and file write permission test function.
* Fix Doxygen link warnings.
* Create command event handler for draggining all schematic items.
* Remove redundant delete item command handler code.
* Remove unused close current tool command ID from process special
functions event handler.
* Add a rotate event handler to schematic frame object.
* Remove unique rotate item command IDs.
* Use process event instead of post event to eliminate the need to clean
up the command event client object from the heap.
* Unify find next item and next DRC error hot key commands.
* Unify move and rotate hot keys commands.
* Remove external dependency for adding suffix to reference designator
fields.
* Make schematic field get and set position methods transform coordinates
relative to the parent component object that owns them.
* Make base text class get text method virtual so derived classes can
change the base string according to their individual requirements.
* Fix a problem with default place schematic item add in last commit.
* Tweak move item to support moving schematic sheet pin objects.
* Change schematic sheet pin set position to constrain position within
the parent sheet.
* Schematic sheet pin moving now handled by unified move code.
* Remove old schematic sheet pin move code.
* Add custom client data object for passing hot key information to
command event handlers.
