When pcbnew is built with python support, the env vars defined inside Kicad
(and used mainly in paths) are rewritten for the python environment.
Unfortunately, the values are rewritten as UTF8 string, but in Kicad they are
just expected in utf32 unicode values.
This is now fixed by rewriting the initial values in Kicad env, after the
python environment is initialized.
The performance of live resizing isn't great. Windows can send mouse moves at 1000 Hz which is faster than the complex appearance panel + canvas can paint properly.
The groundwork has now been laid for per sheet instance data. Initially
this only supports sheet page numbers but could be expanded to include
other per sheet instance information.
ADDED: Support for user defined schematic page numbers.
Correctly hide netnames in high contrast mode
Correct highlighting for blind/buried/micro via drills
Repaint vias when needed to support stacked microvias

Two main changes: netclass values need to go through the DRC engine
so they can interact with other rules. They're also now dependent
on the layer being routed as well as the start object.
Also make the controls adjust to each other better. For instance,
copy-track-width needs to turn off when you select a particular
track width, and a particular track width needs to zero out when
you choose copy-track-width.

This will always show 1 unit from each system, with the primary unit
being the current frame unit and the secondary unit being the
most recent unit used from the other system. These are saved in
the settings, so they are saved between runs.
ADDED memberOf() function for DRC rule expressions.
Also fixes a bug in several of the pickers where the event wasn't
being correctly passed.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5647
These objects can now be used in advanced DRC rules and
not just for keeping things out. Also remove the restriction
that at least one of the "basic" keepout rules must be set,
so that these areas can be used for more advanced rules.
OnBoardChanged must run after LoadProjectSettings.
Move the local overrides to PCB_EDIT_FRAME::onBoardLoaded
so that they are run after the panel is initialized.
This may affect other EDA_DRAW_FRAME objects as well but it doesn't seem
to be as noticeable in the symbol, footprint, and worksheet editors.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5248
The variables in the common settings struct are only updated on
save, so Python must use the ones from Pgm to get its values.
This does lead to the observation that Python's changes to the
variables do affect KiCad (they can break resolvers). So apparently
it can mess with us but we can't mess with it easily.
Also, improve the environment variable tracing infrastructure to capture
more changes.
Before this, the environment variables inside Python wouldn't reflect
the updates to them made after the interpreter was started in Pcbnew.
This will call into Python and set the variables when they are changed,
since Python can't synchronize itself when running in an embedded
interpreter.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5071
This isn't truely correct, because it is pointing to the
main KiCad path, but it is more correct than pointing to
the system path. This should really be pointing to the
user path
(see https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/5115)
This is particularly important to keep the user from having to
enter overly verbose statements such as:
A.Type == 'via' && A.Via_Type == 'buried'
when:
A.Via_Type == 'buried'
is perfectly clear.
- convert expression string tokens to single-quote-delimited
- fix bug where netclass assignments weren't getting updated after
board setup dialog
- move property manager rebuild to lazy evaluation
- improve performance with wider use of const&
- retire DRC_SELECTOR stuff
- use wxString for GUI stuff (particularly translated stuff)
- fix EqualTo() to return false instead of asserting when op types
don't match
- fix buffer overruns with fixed-size string buffers
- make expression function calls case-insensitive
- integrate expression errors into rule parser
- produce more and better error messages
- keep BOARD_ITEM ptrs const as long as possible
- fix a couple of uninitialized variables
List of hidden nets stored in project local settings
Hide/Show actions in context menu only for now, will
add them to some more GUI places soon.

Per discussion on the developers list, this old system
no longer provides much value and is seen as annoying
by many users. The new save logic should prevent any
cases of file corruption on save, which was a major
reason for the backup file system existing.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/2012
Various architecture upgrades to support this.
Creating a BOARD now requires a valid PROJECT, which caused
some (mostly transparent) changes to the Python API internals.
ADDED: Project local settings file
CHANGED: Board design settings are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Net classes are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Importing board settings now reads boards, not just projects

BuildConnectivity updates the ratsnest after it completes. By compiling
the ratsnest before connectivity, we update it twice with the dirty flag
being reset after connectivity updates.
* Consolidate the measure tool into one tool (this gives cvpcb
unit changing and snapping capabilities in its measure tool)
* Transition cvpcb to use actions for the sketch modes
* Replumb how magnetic items settings are stored and used
* Move it to a panel along with the canvas to have a better UI
* Allow the infobar to automatically close after a set time
CHANGED: The eeschema find notifications now use the infobar instead of
a popup window
This widget allows for non-intrusive display of text
above the editing canvas. Currently, this is used
for displaying the read only status of the files.
Migrate COLOR_SETTINGS 0->1 to remove fpedit section
Migrate FOOTPRINT_EDITOR_SETTINGS 0->1 to use new theme if created
Remove COLOR_CONTEXT that is no longer needed
* Push all sizing operations into EDA_BASE_FRAME
* Save the unmaximized window size when maximizing
so that we can then save it in the config if the
window is maximized. Otherwise the config ends up
with the maximized size saved, and weird behavior
occurs when unmaximizing on the next opening.
Now only reposition a window if it is completely on a
disconnected display or if only one corner is on screen
and it is within a region close to the screen border.
CHANGED: Window position on startup should be preserved more
Please note that the symbol cache is not embedded in the schematic file
to allow for round robin testing with the existing file format. Once
the parser round robin testing is complete, the symbol cache will be
embedded in the schematic file.
By making it quasimodal, it allows the main KiCad window and Eeschema
to be used still, if it were just modal then it blocks out all other
windows.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/4023
Keeping a pointer to the actual file history inside a special
file history menu led to many cases of use after free crashes,
so instead rework the actual file history to add the menu
items.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/3741
CHANGED: Settings are now stored in versioned sub-directories
ADDED: First-run dialog for migrating settings from a previous version
CHANGED: Settings are now stored as JSON files instead of wxConfig-style INI files
CHANGED: Color settings are now all stored in a separate settings file
CHANGED: The symbol editor and footprint editor now have their own settings files
CHANGED: Color settings are no longer exposed through BOARD object
CHANGED: Page layout editor now uses Eeschema's color scheme
Settings are now managed through a central SETTINGS_MANAGER held by PGM_BASE.
Existing settings will be migrated from the wxConfig format on first run of each application.
Per-application settings are now stored in one class for each application.
