*) 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.
2) Fix passing wxString to common/config_params so lookup keys
can be dynamically generated. This gives ~/.kicad files all the colors.
3) Fix LEGACY_PLUGIN so it loads all layer types and masks properly.
4) Extend the table in router/pns_index.h to 128 from 64.
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.
Removed SetCurrentClassName() (it was not used anywhere and less safe than SetCurrentClass()).
Added BOARD_DESIGN_SETTIGNS::GetDefault() to make some pieces of shorter and clearer.
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.
- SEGVIA becomes VIA
- Drill size moved from TRACK to VIA
- Removed shape from TRACK, becomes ViaType in VIA
- GetTrace becomes GetTrack, for uniformity
- Some minor constification and typo fixes
Renamed BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM::SetNet() -> SetNetCode()
Added BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM::GetNet() for accessing NETINFO_ITEM* of a given item.
Fixed module editor crash when launched to edit a module from a PCB.
Replaced some BOARD::FindNet( item->GetNet() ) calls with BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM::GetNet().
Renamed BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM::SetNet() -> SetNetCode()
Added BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM::GetNet() for accessing NETINFO_ITEM* of a given item.
Fixed module editor crash when launched to edit a module from a PCB.
Replaced some BOARD::FindNet( item->GetNet() ) calls with BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM::GetNet().
Added DIMENSION::SetOrigin(), DIMENSION::SetEnd(), DIMENSION::GetOrigin(), DIMENSION::GetEnd(), DIMENSION::GetHeight().
Fixed flipping for DIMENSION class.
Added an information that helps to understand roles of the points in the DIMENSION class.
Some minor changes to PCB_PAINTER (mainly using const COLOR4D& for taking the result of GetColor() function).
Now, nets are saved with consecutive net codes (both modern & legacy plugins).
Zones are saved together with their nets, without depending on the fact if there are any pads with such net. Therefore validation of zone net names was removed (pcbnew/class_board.cpp).
Performed tests:
- Changed a pad's net name from empty to existent - ok, name was changed.
- Changed a pad's net name from empty to nonexistent - ok, error message is displayed, net name stays empty.
- Changed a pad's net name from existent to empty - ok, net name became empty
- Changed a pad's net name from existent to nonexistent - ok, error message is displayed, net name is not changed.
- Drawn a zone that belongs to a net, then modified schematics so the net does not exist anymore. After reloading the net list, all pads/tracks are updated. Zones still belongs to the net that does not exist in the schematic (but still exists in .kicad_pcb file). After running DRC, the zone becomes not filled.
- Undo & redo affects assignment of a polygon to a specific net (you may change net of a polygon, refill it and undo/redo the changes).
- KiCad s-expr & legacy, Eagle, P-CAD boards seem to load without any problem (they also contain correct net names assigned to the appropriate pads). All types of board file formats were loaded, then saved in sexpr format and reopened with a KiCad built from the master branch (without my modifications).
- A few boards were also saved using the legacy format and were opened with the master KiCad without any issues.
- Change a net name for a pad, restore with undo/redo - ok
- Remove everything, restore with undo - ok
- Remove everything, reload netlist - ok
Differences observed between files saved by the master branch KiCad and this one:
- list of nets are not saved in any particular order, so net codes may differ
- the default net class does not contain the unconnected net
GetNet() refers to the net code stored in the NETINFO_ITEM. SetNet() finds an appropriate NETINFO_ITEM and uses it.
Removing GetNet() & SetNet() (and the whole net code idea) requires too many changes in the code (~250 references to the mentioned functions).
BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEMs by default get a pointer to NETINFO_ITEM that stores unconnected items. This requires for all BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEMs to have a parent (so BOARD* is accessible). The only orphaned item is BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS::m_Pad_Master, but it does not cause any issues so far.
Items that do not have access to a BOARD (do not have set parents) and therefore cannot get net assigned, by default get const static NETINFO_LIST::ORPHANED.
Performed tests:
- loaded .kicad_pcb, KiCad legacy board, Eagle 6.0 board, P-CAD board - all ok
- load a simple project, reload netlist after changing connections in eeschema - ok
- save & reload a board - ok, but still contain empty nets
- remove everything, restore with undo - ok
- remove everything, reload netlist - ok
- changing net names (all possibilites: empty->existing, empty->not existing, existing->empty, existing->not existing) - all ok
- zones: when net is changed to a net that does not have any nodes besides the zone itself, it does not get filled
- ZONE_CONTAINER::m_Netname field
- ZONE_CONTAINER::SetNetName()
- ZONE_CONTAINER::SetNet() [it uses the one in BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM]
- ZONE_CONTAINER::GetNetName() [instead BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM::GetNetname is used]
- ZONE_CONTAINER::SetNetNameFromNetCode()
Performed tests:
- Drawn a zone that belongs to a net, then modified schematics so the net does not exist anymore. After reloading the net list, all pads/tracks are updated. Zones still belongs to the net that does not exist in the schematic (but still exists in .kicad_pcb file). After running DRC, the zone becomes not filled.
- Undo & redo affects assignment of a polygon to a specific net (you may change net of a polygon, refill it and undo/redo the changes).
D_PAD::GetNetname() and D_PAD::GetShortNetname() were moved to BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM. Now they use the net name stored in NETINFO_ITEM.
Moved some one-line functions from class_board_connected_item.cpp to class_board_connected_item.h.
Added a copyright notice, moved Doxygen comments from class_board_connected_item.cpp to class_board_connected_item.h.
I have some doubts if changes introduced pcbnew/dialogs/dialog_pad_properties.cpp do not break anything, but I could not find a test case that breaks the pcbnew.
Performed tests:
- changed pad's net name from empty to existent - ok, name was changed
- changed pad's net name from empty to nonexistent - ok, error message is displayed, net name stays empty
- changed pad's net name from existent to empty - ok, net name became empty
- changed pad's net name from existent to nonexistent - ok, error message is displayed, net name is not changed
- (re)reading netlists, including net changes - fine, changes are applied, but empty nets are still kept
- loaded pcbnew/pcad2kicadpcb_plugin/examples/CK1202_V1.pcb to test P-CAD import plugin - ok, net names are correct
- imported an Eagle 6.0 board (Arduino Uno; http://arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/arduino_Uno_Rev3-02-TH.zip) then saved in .kicad_pcb format and reloaded - ok, net names are correct
- saved demos/video/video.kicad_pcb in legacy format and then loaded it again - ok, net names are correct
NETINFO_ITEM::m_Net and NETINFO_ITEM::m_Netname are const.
Changes to be verified:
- pcbnew/minimun_spanning_tree.cpp: It segfaults is m_Size == 0
- pcbnew/exporters/export_gencad.cpp: I removed the SetNetname() call, as it changes only the unconnected net and in the next line it returns if the net is unconnected. Still, I wonder if name for the unconnected net matters. What about tests that check if a net name is empty to decide if it is unconnected net or not.
* When loading footprint do not retest every footprint in cache. Only test
the footprint being loaded. Fixes long load times on libraries with a lot
of parts.
* Fix footprint name bug where file extension was added to the end of the
footprint name.
* Fix bug in path equivalence test due to Posix path separators in footprint
library table. Convert paths to native separator before comparison.
* Fix a bug in FOOTPRINT_VIEWER_FRAME::OnActivate() which cause the footprint
list to always get reloaded when using footprint library tables.
* Remove some unnecessary debugging messages.
* Add a few Doxygen comments to FP_CACHE in kicad_plugin.cpp.
* Use FPID instead of wxString in MODULE object.
* Use FPID instead of wxString when loading and saving files.
* Use FPID in COMPONENT object.
* Add wxString helper functions and comparison operators to FPID.
* Add fp_lib token to pcb and netlist file formats.
* Add code to load and save FPIDs to pcb file format.
* Fix segfault when deleting invalid footprint library tables in Pcbnew
in non footprint library table build.
* Fix bug when counting the number of mod files in
EDA_APP::SetFootprintLibTablePath();
*) 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.
This is limited to round tripping the lines of commented text in the
loading and saving to disk through PCBIO::Format() and PCBIO::Parse().
No editing of the comments is given.
* Fix a bug when full file name and path are passed to FOOTPRINT_INFO::
ReadFootprintFiles() which I created in bug fix lp:593989.
* Fix a wxString debug assertion in EDA_APP::InitEDA_Appl() when the KICAD
environment variable is defined as an empty string.
* Add error dialog when libraries cannot be found in system search path
when loading footprint using the select footprint dialog.
* Add footprint library name column to the EDA_LIST_DIALOG when selecting
footprints from the list.
* Allow reading all columns from the selected row in EDA_LIST_DIALOG.
* Remove redundant sort from EDA_LIST_DIALOG constructor
* Add library name member variable and accessors to FOOTPRINT_INFO.
