* Enhance class PLUGIN's comments to improve their value as instructional.
* Switch #includes from "file.h" to <file.h>, and fiddle with search paths
by using include_directories(BEFORE ...)
* dialog_page_settings did not have symmetrical space on its right border.
And it now remembers it last position and size within a program session.
* base_screen.cpp is now compiled twice, once for {pcbnew,cvpcb} and once
for eeschema, in preparation for "compile time" support of internal units
rather than "runtime" support.
* Enable replace toolbar button and menu entry.
* Improve find replace logging granularity.
* Fix find and replace dialog control hiding and disabling.
* Minor improvements to the SCH_FIND_REPLACE_DATA object.
* Move find collector list iterator into the collector object.
* Add visibility override flag to EDA_ITEM to temporarily show items that
are hidden during find and replace.
* Replace Eeschema find code with a collector based implementation.
* Fixed a search bug when all subsequent searches of an item would ignore
the remaining valid child items when an item had more than one child
item that matched the search criteria.
* Add SCH_FIND_COLLECTOR class to find all items that meet the specified
search criteria.
* Add SCH_FIND_COLLECT0R_DATA to keep track of information for all matching
items.
* Use collector to iterate over the list of items that match the search
criteria rather than trying to start at the last matched item.
* Remove unused searching methods from sheet path and sheet path list
objects.
* Add replace and replace all functionality to Eeschema find dialog.
* Push matching methods down to EDA_ITEM class so they can be used by
other derived objects.
* Add method to EDA_ITEM to test if item supports replacing.
* Add flag to find/replace data to support replace feature.
* Disable wild card matching check box when dialog is in replace mode as
wild card replacement is not supported at this time.
* The usual Doxygen comment and coding policy fixes.
* Fixed bug on Windows that prevented the menu short cuts from working
properly.
* Fix duplicate menu short cut keys in KiCad, Pcbnew, and Eeschema.
* Add menu short cuts for all possible menu entries.
* Correct all user strings and comments for the correct capitalization of
application names according to JP. They are KiCad, Pcbnew, CvPcb,
Eeschema, and GerbView.
* Add a note the the user interface policy about the correct capitalization.
* Rename all ADD_MENUITEM_* functions to AddMenuItem and move them to
wxstruct.h since they are used by the Kicad main frame classes.
* Move SET_BITMAP and SETBITMAPS definitions to wxstruct.h.
* Fix a bug in SET_BITMAPS that prevented enabling menu item images on
OSX.
* Rename MsgItem to EDA_MSG_ITEM.
* Remove redundant includes from modified files.
* Doxygen and coding style policy fixes.
* Add in help menu a direct link to the new doc Getting_Started_in_KiCad.pdf, written by contributors (useful for beginners)
* Fix other very minor issues in CvPcb.
* Update howto doc about translation
Also fix a minor zoom page issue in Libedit.
wxMSW, version 2.8.x must be patched.
Some zoom values smaller than 3 to 5 create artifacts on screen, mainly values < 1.
(corresponding to draw scale factor > 1 )
* see http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/9554
This is fixed in version 2.9.x
Workaround: ( that is not a full fix, but remaining artifacts are acceptable )
edit file edit file <wxWidgets>/src/msw/dc.cpp

* Change all code references to pin sheet and sheet label to sheet pin to
more closely match the sheet pin object for improved code readability.
* Change menu and tool bar text from pin sheet to sheet pin for improved
user readability.
* Moved sheet pin place method to sheet pin object source file.
* Move last sheet pin stored state information into schematic frame object.
* Add Doxygen comments for the sheet pin editing methods.
* Old control state handling code completely removed in all applications.
* Factor common control state handlers into EDA_DRAW_FRAME.
* Replaced EDA_ITEM test for newness with IsNew() method.
* Factor vertical right toolbar command handlers out of giant edit command
switch statement in EESchema and PCBNew.
* Component library objects renamed for improved readability.
* Fields now move when selected in library editor.
* Add copy constructor to all library draw and library component objects.
* Added copy constructor to EDA_BaseStruct.
* Delete base screen in WinEDA_DrawFrame destructor to prevent potential memory leak.
* Fixed memory access bug when replacing and adding a component to library.
* Moved library component block manipulation code into component object.
* Removed all of the global variables used by the library editor main window object.
* The usual code cleaning and refactoring.
* Split out application specific command IDs to prevent unnecessary rebuilding.
* Eliminate duplicate menu and tool bar command IDs.
* Split component library editor and viewer definitions to separate header files.
* More component library and document file merge code.
* A bunch of minor string readability and consistency fixes.
* All - add wxList implementation for dynamic declaration of application settings.
* EESchema: remove non-standard fonts and dialog button text colors from all UI controls.
* EESchema: update project file and application settings from static to dynamic method.
* EESchema: save and restore show hidden pins state between sessions.
* EESchema: global variable reductions.
* EESchema: use EVT_UPDATE_UI instead of SetToolbars() to set control states.
* EESchema: remove unused DialogBlocks BOM dialog project file.
* GerbView: remove non-standard fonts and dialog button text colors from all UI controls.
* GerbView: fix infinite loop when parsing RS274X aperture definitions with whitespace.
* GerbView: add file name to export to PCBNew select layer dialog.
* crash when creating a sheet that does not yet have a sch file
* when loading schematic file v 1 annotations are applied to all sheets independent of path in hierarchy
* component reference is drawn by default upon placing a new libary comp.
================================================================================
+eeschema
* commiting my changes to allow multiple instances of a given schematic file within
a hierarchy:
** internally, m_currentScreen has been replaced with m_currentSheet,
which is a list or 'path' of screens. The path of screens is used to
generate
a series of timestamps, which is converted to flat component reference via
a look-up
table in the schematic files.
** this means that m_currentScreen is no longer used -- use GetScreen().
** GetScreen is virtual, as some of the dialogs keep around a WinEDA_BaseScreen
pointer.
** all sub-sheets in a given schematic must have different names to generate a
meaningful netlist.
