2. Whole bunch of pointless casts removed
3. Unused variables removed
4. Fix bug caused by JP on April 25, 2015 where strings were adjusted for translation and the hotkeys section table accidentally swapped the footprint editor title with tag, resulting in "footprint editor" being exported instead of "[footprinteditor]"
No functional changes besides #4, technically it'll "break" imports hotkeys files but April 25 broke imports as well.
* Assuming: a project exists in /a/b/project.pro, and /a/b is symlinked to
/a/c
1. Load /a/b/project.pro
2. Load /a/c/project.pro
Expectation: file name switches to /a/c/project.pro (even though they are
the same file, a user would expect the path to reflect the file selection
they just made)
Reality: file name does not switch
This is because PROJECT::SetProjectFullName() does not do anything if the
path is not changed, and it uses wxFileName::SameAs() to check this. For
some bizarre reason, wxFileName::SameAs compares filesystem inodes rather
than actual paths.
This patch instead creates a second wxFileName from the candidate name in
order to normalize the path, and then compares paths directly. This should
be much more in line with what a user would expect.
* Removed outdated package maker information, the pmdoc is generated and does
not belong in the KiCad tree, it is also highly specific as seen due to the
references to /Users/marco. This is not used in normal builds nor in the
packaging for KiCad OSX nightly builds.
* Updated identifiers in package marker docs to remove references to sourceforge
and to follow other identifiers.
gen_gerber_and_drill_files_board.py:
* fix to make it compatible with rev 6280.
* allow this script to create files in the current plot folder defined from the board forder, no more only in current working directory.
reasons:
* This option is called "bad practice" in gerber files format specifications and is even forbidden in gerber drill files.
* Generates problems with some board makers because these holes are not identified in a single NC file.
* No one was able to explain us how to identified them in a single NC file.
* Recent change in drill file generation is not compatible with merged holes (minor reason)
Drill report: serious enhancements.
Plot files names for copper layers: build from the user layer name, like in bzr 4022 stable version. no change for other layers.
Pcbnew: Plot files: for copper layers, create suffix from user copper layer names instead of default copper layer names, like in last stable Kicad version (bzr 4022), to build the plot files filenames.
Better test of illegal chars in plot filename, both in plot dialog and functions aclled by Python scripts.
Fix a Plotcontroller issue to make SetUseGerberExtensions() work as expected from Python scripts ( from Henner Zeller'patch with a fix to be sure it works properly from a Python script)
Note also using Protel Gerber Extensions is now a bad practice, because the official Gerber extension is .gbr since X2 Gerber version. But some users still use them)
* The board ratsnest visibility state was being saved in both the board file
and the Pcbnew configuration files causing visibility state issues. Use the
board file to save the board ratsnest visibility state.
* Remove all of the board ratsnest save visibility state to configuration file
code.
* Add code to set the board modified property when layer visibility states
change to give the user a chance to save the state in the board file.
* Some minor code cleaning and coding policy fixes.
* Recognize values with units in more recent gEDA footprint files and scale accordingly.
* Join both parseInt() implementations. This should reduce rounding errors as well as
code duplication.
* Fix missing link to MinGW website.
* Add link to library dependency section in introduction.
* Add "Known Issues" section to document known build issues.
