*) When kicad.exe closes a project, close any open KIFACEs so that they cannot
get disassociated from their true PROJECT.
*) Allow loading eeschema library editor from kicad.exe
*) Allow loading pcbnew library editor from kicad.exe
*) Rename LIB_COMPONENT to LIB_PART.
*) Add class PART_LIBS, and PART_LIB.
*) Make PART_LIBS non-global, i.e. PROJECT specific.
*) Implement "data on demand" for PART_LIBS
*) Implement "data on demand" for schematic SEARCH_STACK.
*) Use RSTRINGs to retain eeschema editor's notion of last library and part being edited.
*) Get rid of library search on every SCH_COMPONENT::Draw() call, instead use
a weak pointer.
*) Remove all chdir() calls so projects don't need to be CWD.
*) Romove APPEND support from OpenProjectFiles().
*) Make OpenProjectFiles() robust, even for creating new projects.
*) Load EESCHEMA colors in the KIWAY::OnKiwayStart() rather in window open,
and save them in the .eeschema config file, not in the project file.
*) Fix bug with wxDir() while accessing protected dirs in kicad.exe
*) Consolidate template copying into PROJECT class, not in kicad.exe source.
*) Generally untangle eeschema, making its libraries not global but rather
held in the PROJECT.
Pcbnew: Code cleaning and bug fix in autoplace functions
Dialog exchange footprints has now a separate button to update the .cmp file, only on request.
* 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.
* BLOCK_SELECTOR class is not longer derived from EDA_ITEM.
* Encapsulate BLOCK_SELECTOR class member variables and add access methods.
* Move HandleBlockBegin() function from block_commande.cpp to drawframe.cpp.
* Remove virtual methods from top level derived objects per future
coding policy change.
* Remove Doxygen copydoc statement from objects derived from EDA_ITEM
since the comments are automatically copied to the derived object.
* Removed copy and pasted Doxygen comments from objects derived from
EDA_ITEM.
* All objects derived from EDA_ITEM now have consistent hit test method
definitions.
* Remove double function calls from all classes derived from SCH_ITEM.
* Lots of Doxygen comment fixes.
* Remove unnecessary copy constructors from schematic and component
library objects.
* Add comment to class definitions where the default copy constructor
generated by the compiler was adequate.
* Add assignment operator to EDA_ITEM, SCH_ITEM, and all schematic
objects where the default assignment operator generated by the
compiler would not be adequate.
* Create library collector class.
* Add clarification menu to library editor when multiple items are found
at the current position.
* Add get clarification menu text to all objects derived from LIB_ITEM.
* Add get menu bitmap for all objects derived from LIB_ITEM.
* Improve LIB_PIN bounding box calculation.
* Rename LIB_ITEM::DoGenCopy to doClone to match behavior defined in base
class EDA_ITEM.
* Minor class renaming for improved code consistency.
* Added less than operator to EDA_ITEM.
* Move schematic wire and bus break code into schematic screen object.
* Move schematic test for dangling ends into schematic screen object.
* Remove left over debugging output in schematic screen object.
* Remove unused file eeschema/cleanup.cpp.
* Fix bug in schematic line object hit test algorithm.
* Fix a string concatenation compile error added in r2752.
* Rename class WinEDA_BasicFrame to EDA_BASE_FRAME.
* Rename class WinEDA_DrawFrame to EDA_DRAW_FRAME.
* Rename class WinEDA_DrawPanel to EDA_DRAW_PANEL.
* All library component object editing is now performed with the ojbect
except LIB_PIN (coming soon).
* Added TRANFORM class to handle coordinate transforms.
* Remove old transform matrix functions.
* More file renaming to align them with the other component library
object file names.
* Fix hot key bugs in library editor to disable edit keys while an item
is being edited.
* Fixed bug when cancelling rotation of text and field objects while
being moved.
* Break classes_body_item.cpp(.h) into more reasonable size bites.
* Rename classes_body_item.cpp(.h) to lib_draw_item.cpp(.h)
* Fix some unsatisfied header file dependencies.
* Add stubs to component library draw item base classe to handle editing
internally.
* Lots of code cleaning.
