* Split and rewrite the preview window and canvas.
* Create a new class for handling the board information.
* Adds new render targets: openGL, legacy, and ray tracing.
* Render targets take full advantage of the new 3D plugins system and 3D cache
for a fast 3D model loading.
* Faster board loading.
* New OpenGL render is faster than the old one.
* New ray tracing render target with a post processing shader.
* Use of new 3D plugins (WRL, X3D, STEP and IGES) and 3D model caching.
* Preview of 3D model while browsing the file name.
* 3D preview of the footprint while adding / align 3D shapes.
* Render of 3D models according to attributes: Normal, Normal+Insert, Virtual.
* Pivot rotation centered in one point over the PCB board.
* Shortcuts keys improved for XYZ orientation..
* Animated camera.
* Add SCH_PLUGIN::Save() for current file format and code for saving all
SCH_XXX objects.
* Add function to SCH_FIELD to get the position of the field in the component
not the position added to the component position which is what GetPosition()
does. This was required because saving the component field expects position
of the field sans the position of the component.
* Remove public members from BITMAP_BASE object and fix all associated
code.
* Fix the never ending coding policy violations found making these changes.
* Factor out PROPERTIES object from the PCB plugin code and move it into
common so it can be used by both the Pcbnew and Eeschema plugins.
* Add schematic I/O plugin manager for loading and saving schematic and
component library files.
* Add initial attempt at a parser for current schematic file format. This
parser will be infinitely more strict than the current parser which is very
forgiving in what it parses.
* Make minor changes to the base bitmap class to support the new parser.
* Add find root sheet support to sheet object to allow fetching the root
sheet from any sheet in the stack.
It is especially true in some Window Managers like KDE, but can be true in any WM, when initializations are made by TransferDataToWindow() method, called by the default wxInitDialogEvent handler.
This feature was not reliably available: neither pl_editor nor GAL supported
it. It has been replaced over the past few commits with a new zoom-to-selection
tool available in all applications and modes.
* An assumption was made that wxDynamicLibrary.Load() would always result in
a wxLogSystemError on failure which was not always true. The code now throws
an exception which is caught by KiCad and an error message is displayed. In
the case where the wxLogSystemError is shown, there will be an annoying two
error messages but that is better than a crash.
Commit BZR 6703 introduced a minor horizontal adjustment for stroke
text rendering in GAL, but the Translate() call was done before
calling Save(). So, when this function was called multiple times a
residual offset carried over to each subsequent line.
bzr 6703 = git 67982a4
* move gerber_file_image_list class to a separate file
* better BestZoom calculation, and fix incorrect size of wxTextCtrl showing info about gerber file format.
* remove useless file and dead code. Remove not used parameters in some classes (mainly in class_gerber_draw_item)
This feature cannot work reliably for reasons explained in lp:1463505. Remove
the option on OS X builds and force cursor to the small one.

Currently, kicad_pcb files have a (version ...) tag, but it is ignored. This
commit does the following:
1. Parse the version. If it's later than the last supported version, present an
alternative error message suggesting an upgrade if the file does not load
correctly. The version will be interpreted as an integer YYYYMMDD to suggest
a KiCad release date.
2. Accept a (version ...) tag also in kicad_mod files, but do not write them
yet. If no version tag is present in these files, assume the version to be that
of the current format version at the time of this commit.
This is meant to be merged to the 4.x stable series, and preps for KiCad 5
which will start emitting version tags also in footprints - users with what
will then be 'old stable' will not get a parse error when we introduce this for
footprints, and we can safely increment the format version later.
Fix erroneous optimization in VECTOR2<T>::Rotate (which was made for angles in degrees): Angles are in radians, and only 0 rd rotation is skipped ( case very frequent, especially in eeschema)
* Add event handler to check all button clicks for default command event
IDs and handle them appropriately by either calling EndQuasiModal() or
passing the event up the event handler chain to allow the default dialog
handlers to perform their magic.
* Add event handler to handle the close window event properly.
* Add scope brackets so the wxBusyCursor will stop being displayed when
the footprint library loading is complete in CvPcb.
* Remove the artificial footprint library read error limit to prevent
potentially readable libraries from being loaded after the error limit
is reached.
* Change error message dialog to an HTML dialog so that potentially large
error messages can be displayed with scrolling and the ability to copy
and paste the error message for bug reporting purposes.
* Add busy cursor when loading the footprint libraries so the user has some
idea that something is happening while the footprint libraries are being
loaded.
(In this case the schematic frame exists, but some members are not initialized as expected, and a crash happens when calling the schematic editor dtor)
Minor other fix: avoid multiple very similar strings to translate in 3d_filename_resolver.cpp
* Refactor edit one field dialogs to use validators and transfer data to and
from window functions.
* Add code to DIALOG_SHIM to handle validation and transfer functions since
the base dialog class code is not called by EndQuasiModal().
* Add custom validator class for filtering field text control characters.
* Add new field validator to edit schematic component dialog field text
control.
* Add new field validator to edit fields in library editor dialog field
text control.
* Make a few LIB_PART member functions const.
The new (eeschema, so far) hotkeys editor uses the right-click menu for the
reset command, so the reset-to-default function that was added in 6652
(git:0cd7476) was not accessible from eeschema.
* remove duplicate code between draw functions and STROKE_FONT used in GAL. Use only STROKE_FONT methods in draw, plot and test DRC function for texts. It remove slightly different shapes between GAL and other calculations.
* fix incorrect bounding box for texts with overbar. Especially noticeable for texts with overbar inside a copper zone in Pcbnew.
* fix a few minor other bugs related to graphic texts.
- When the Kicad manager is iconized, all other child frames are iconized (normal wxWidgets behavior)
- For viewer frames in modal mode, there is a more annoying issue: they have the wxFLOAT_ON_PARENT frame style on unix, and wxSTAY_ON_TOP on Windows.
wxFLOAT_ON_PARENT frame style is incorrect (although on most WM it works) because the parent frame (Kicad manager Frame) is not the caller. It is usually a main editor frame.
It does not work on Windows (wx STAY_ON_TOP is used).
* Now each editor frame has a null parent.
Therefore iconizing the Kicad manager frame does not iconize other frames.
* Viewer frames have null parent in normal mode and the caller parent in modal mode (therefore wxFLOAT_ON_PARENT frame style is always and correctly used)
* References to opened/closed main frames are no more managed by the (complicated) kicad code. Instead of, a non critical and more easy to understand code just uses FindWindowByName to know if a main window exists or not.
These changes do not fix all issues about Kicad frames brought to the foreground or the background, but it fixes a few issues, and AFAIK do not add other issues.
The functions involved in the problem were PGM_BASE::GetEditorName and
EDA_BASE_FRAME::OnSelectPreferredEditor:
1) OnSelectPreferredEditor showed a dialog to allow the user selecting the
editor, but before that called GetEditorName to get the name of the current
editor (to show as a default in the choose file dialog).
2) The problem was when there was no editor, GetEditorName showed its own
dialog.
3) So the user was seeing first the dialog from (2) and then the dialog from
(1).
4) As GetEditorName is used in many other places the solution I did was to add
to it an optional parameter that tells it what to do if no editor is set. To
avoid modifying other code that relies on the current behaviour, this parameter
has a default value that causes to show the dialog. But now when
OnSelectPreferredEditor calls it, it passes the parameter that causes it to
return an empty string if no editor was set.
5) Also, I found a second bug while doing it which allowed in the first dialog
to select an unexistent file (the dialog was missing the wxFD_FILE_MUST_EXIST
flag).
6) Lastly, to avoid having duplicated code (the one that showed the same dialog
and that configured the wildcard was in two methods) I created a single
function that now both functions call: PGM_BASE::AskUserForPreferredEditor.
This way we also will have consistency in the behaviour of both dialogs and
there is a single place where it needs to be modified.
I tried to merge some constants used both in legacy mode and gal mode (which were, before this patch, separate constants).
There is still a serious work to avoid different calculation code for the same text in draw and plot functions.
Work in progress to merge these calculation functions.
* Dialog copper zones: Always enable thermal shape settings, because even with no thermal, some pads can use thermal option in local pad settings.
* GAL mode: shows page limits in gray color, like in legacy mode, and according to comments in sources.
The standard library requires iterators passed to functions that modify the
container to be mutable iterators, but GCC's implementation accepts
const_iterator in some places where these are only used to mark a place,
but the actual modification happens through a different parameter.
As this breaks implementations that use the passed iterator to modify the
container (e.g. because they use a different data organization), this is
not portable; because we already have a non-const reference to the
container anyway, this is trivially fixed as well.
In the C++ standard, this function is only defined for floating point
types, and integers cannot be implicitly converted. Using explicit
conversions avoids a GCC specific extension to the standard library.
* Dick Hollenbeck also contributed commit r6440. I inadvertently forgot to set
the Bazaar author tag before I committed it. My apologies.
* Switch to static linking of libcurl and on linux and windows and also
statically link in only required portions of openssl.
* Add the required thread locks which openssl needs.
* Remove the get curl version call from BASEFRAME since it pulls in curl and
openssl into every derived wxFrame class link image.
* Remove curl function from PGM_BASE, switch to atexit() instead. Anything in
PGM_BASE made the singletops bigger.
* Tested on Linux, Windows, and OSX.
* Prevent libcurl from inadvertently being initialized twice.
* Dynamically load libcurl only when required.
* Reduce the number of worker threads when loading footprint libraries to
prevent issues with the GitHub plugin.
* Replace the wxListCtrl with a wxTreeListCtrl, allowing expandable categories
in a future change.
* Clean up the code to make HOTKEY_LIST_CTRL function a bit better on its own.
* Migrate the hotkey dialog to TransferData{To,From}Window, use matching
TransferData{To,From}Control methods on HOTKEY_LIST_CTRL so it is easy to
embed.
