* File import: use case insensitive comparison to choose import plugin, from the file extension (It is not always in lower cases, especially on Windows.)
* onleftclick.cpp: fis a minor issue, which happens after switching form GAL to Legacy canvas: sometimes a board item is left selected from GAL, and creates false warning message in legacy.
- Removed the friends MODULE and FOOTPRINT_EDIT_FRAME from TEXTE_MODULE
(as in the @todo comment)
- Refactored the Rotate/Flip/Mirror for text in modules into the
TEXTE_MODULE class itself (members RotateWithModule, FlipWithModule,
MirrorWithModule)
- New behaviour in coloring text on screen: reference and value still
take the color from the MOD_TEXT_FR_VISIBLE and MOD_TEXT_BK_VISIBLE
visibles; other text takes the color of the layer containing it
(except when hidden, obviously) but still get its visibility
controlled by those visibles (probably the most intuitive and useful
behaviour)
- Still need to decide: should text on a layer be hidden when the layer
is? Probably yes (still to be implemented);
- Some comment fixed and many cast converted to static_cast
2) Change from legacy Cu stack to counting down from top=(F_Cu or 0).
The old Cu stack required knowing the count of Cu layers to make
sense of the layer number when converting to many exported file types.
The new Cu stack is more commonly used, although ours still gives
B_Cu a fixed number.
3) Introduce class LSET and enum LAYER_ID.
4) Change *.kicad_pcb file format version to 4 from 3.
5) Change fixed names Inner1_Cu-Inner14_Cu to In1_Cu-In30_Cu and their
meanings are typically flipped.
6) Moved the #define LAYER_N_* stuff into legacy_plugin.cpp where they
can die a quiet death, and switch to enum LAYER_ID symbols throughout.
7) Removed the LEGACY_PLUGIN::Save() and FootprintSave() functions.
You will need to convert to the format immediately, *.kicad_pcb and
*.kicad_mod (=pretty) since legacy format was never going to know
about 32 Cu layers and additional technical layers and the reversed Cu
stack.
Most of the changes are just adding GetDesignSettings() before every occurence of m_NetClasses.
More complex changes:
class_netclass.cpp - NETCLASS does not store the pointer to the parent BOARD anymore. Added function SetParams( BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS& ).
class_netclass.h - Removed GetTrackMinWidth(), GetViaMinDiameter(), GetViaMinDrill(), GetuViaMinDiameter(), GetuViaMinDrill() as they were refering to BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS anyway (they are not net class specific).
kicad_plugin.cpp - filters out empty nets (that are anyway not saved) when storing net class information. Previously it was done in NETCLASS::Format() function.
*) Implement a framework for "Data Load On Demand".
*) Implement FP_LIB_TABLE* PROJECT::PcbFootprintLibs(), which is the first
prototype.
This allows the project specific footprint tables to be part of the Module Editor
when invoked from Eeschema.
! The initial testing of this commit should be done using a Debug build so that
all the wxASSERT()s are enabled. Also, be sure and keep enabled the
USE_KIWAY_DLLs option. The tree won't likely build without it. Turning it
off is senseless anyways. If you want stable code, go back to a prior version,
the one tagged with "stable".
* Relocate all functionality out of the wxApp derivative into more finely
targeted purposes:
a) DLL/DSO specific
b) PROJECT specific
c) EXE or process specific
d) configuration file specific data
e) configuration file manipulations functions.
All of this functionality was blended into an extremely large wxApp derivative
and that was incompatible with the desire to support multiple concurrently
loaded DLL/DSO's ("KIFACE")s and multiple concurrently open projects.
An amazing amount of organization come from simply sorting each bit of
functionality into the proper box.
* Switch to wxConfigBase from wxConfig everywhere except instantiation.
* Add classes KIWAY, KIFACE, KIFACE_I, SEARCH_STACK, PGM_BASE, PGM_KICAD,
PGM_SINGLE_TOP,
* Remove "Return" prefix on many function names.
* Remove obvious comments from CMakeLists.txt files, and from else() and endif()s.
* Fix building boost for use in a DSO on linux.
* Remove some of the assumptions in the CMakeLists.txt files that windows had
to be the host platform when building windows binaries.
* Reduce the number of wxStrings being constructed at program load time via
static construction.
* Pass wxConfigBase* to all SaveSettings() and LoadSettings() functions so that
these functions are useful even when the wxConfigBase comes from another
source, as is the case in the KICAD_MANAGER_FRAME.
* Move the setting of the KIPRJMOD environment variable into class PROJECT,
so that it can be moved into a project variable soon, and out of FP_LIB_TABLE.
* Add the KIWAY_PLAYER which is associated with a particular PROJECT, and all
its child wxFrames and wxDialogs now have a Kiway() member function which
returns a KIWAY& that that window tree branch is in support of. This is like
wxWindows DNA in that child windows get this member with proper value at time
of construction.
* Anticipate some of the needs for milestones B) and C) and make code
adjustments now in an effort to reduce work in those milestones.
* No testing has been done for python scripting, since milestone C) has that
being largely reworked and re-thought-out.
Pcbnew: better test for allowed layers when creating/editing Dimensions and some other Graphic items
Drc: fix comments and messages for some drc tests.
To do: fix issues in active layer selection when creating a track and layer pair selection dialog
*) add hotkey for setting the grid origin as 'S', in board editor, module editor.
*) re-position the function interface for cursor movement from BASE_SCREEN into
class EDA_DRAW_FRAME. This is a prelude to getting rid of BASE_SCREEN or
splitting it up.
* Add code for loading, modifying, and saving the global and project
footprint library tables.
* Add code to load MODULE objects using the footprint library table to
the footprint viewer.
* Add static methods to FP_LIB_TABLE to support loading footprint library
tables.
* Improve MSG_PANEL_ITEM to handle message panel information.
* Create containers for passing message panel items between objects and
the message panel.
* Rename EDA_ITEM::DisplayInfo to EDA_ITEM::GetMsgPanelInfo.
* Remove all direct manipulation of EDA_DRAW_FRAME from all objects derived
from EDA_ITEM.
and therefore tracks are now dragged when a end point is inside a pad, not necessary on the pad position.
However, drag functions still need more cleanup.
This is *a work in progress*, so some features are missing, and/or could be modified.
Mainly keepout zones are not yet exported to autorouters, and pads are not taken in account.
Some code cleanup in polygon.*
* EDA_DRAW_PANEL completely encapsulated.
* Moved OSX m_overlay member from EDA_DRAW_PANEL to EDA_DRAW_FRAME where
it is used.
* Doxygen comment warning fixes.
* Grammar and spelling fixes in Eeschema, CvPcb, and Pcbnew path and
library dialog tool tips.
* Translate the French file name subrill.cpp to highlight.cpp.
* Lots of coding style policy fixes.
* All header files used to create the PCB common library now compile as
stand alone code. This prevents the need to define them in a specific
order to make source code compile properly. It should also now be
possible to relocate the source code to build the common PCB library
to a separate folder.
* Changed <wx-2.8/xml/xml.h> to "xnode.h" in pcbnew_config.cpp to fix bug
when building against wxWidgets 2.9 and above.
* Convert broken wxXmlNode code to use XNODE.
* Overloaded XNODE constructor for creating child nodes.
* Translate French naming conventions.
* Translate French comments.
* Remove tabs from several source files.
* Coding style policy and Doxygen comment fixes.
* Remove clearance and net class name read only text boxes from PCBNew
auxiliary tool bar.
* Display full net class information in message panel when an object that
supports net classes is selected.
* Move coordinate string conversion function to EDA_DRAW_FRAME object and
made it more versatile.
* Refresh message panel text when units change.
* Fix grid select box update bug on context menu.
* Fix via size and track width select box update bugs.
* Fix layer pair indicator button update bug.
* Fix auto track width tool bar control enable bug.
* Fix via size and track width select status bug in context menu.
* Fix layer select box and layer control widget select bug when current
layer is removed.
* Add virtual function to notify objects derived from EDA_DRAW_FRAME that
the units setting has changed.
* Coding policy class naming fixes.
* Make EDA_DRAW_FRAME current tool ID member variable private.
* Added global no tool selected ID to replace application specific no
tool selected IDs.
* Change SetToolID to prevent setting the tool ID to anything less than
the new global no tool selected ID and assert on debug builds.
* Change command and update user interface command event handlers to use
new global no tool selected ID.
* Fixed schematic library editor add pin hot key handler.
