The DRC also runs per-segment tests, not just segment-segment, so the last
segment needs to be tested as well, with an empty list of segments to test
against.
* When Pcbnew is launched in the stand alone mode with no board file command
line option, the project path is set to the current working directory. The
user may not have write access to the current working directory which would
cause the auto save to generate an error. If the user does not have write
access to the current working directory, set the path to a platform specific
temporary path that the user has write permission.
* When Pcbnew is launched in the stand alone mode with no board file command
line option, the default BOARD object has no file name. Set the file name
to "noname.kicad_pcb" to fix incorrect auto save file name and set the path
to the user's platform specific document folder.
* Delete orphaned auto save files when closing without saving due to broken
auto save file generation logic which prepended the file name with "$" rather
than "_autosave-".
* Fixes: lp:1596382
* Split and rewrite the preview window and canvas.
* Create a new class for handling the board information.
* Adds new render targets: openGL, legacy, and ray tracing.
* Render targets take full advantage of the new 3D plugins system and 3D cache
for a fast 3D model loading.
* Faster board loading.
* New OpenGL render is faster than the old one.
* New ray tracing render target with a post processing shader.
* Use of new 3D plugins (WRL, X3D, STEP and IGES) and 3D model caching.
* Preview of 3D model while browsing the file name.
* 3D preview of the footprint while adding / align 3D shapes.
* Render of 3D models according to attributes: Normal, Normal+Insert, Virtual.
* Pivot rotation centered in one point over the PCB board.
* Shortcuts keys improved for XYZ orientation..
* Animated camera.
* Switched hashtables.h over to std::undordered_map from boost version.
* Added new macros DECL_VEC_FOR_SWIG() and DECL_MAP_FOR_SWIG() in macros.h.
These along with future DECL_HASH_FOR_SWIG() unify the declaration to swig
and C++ so that the resultant type name is common in both languages, and
the types AGREE.
* Fixed swigging of NETINFO_ITEM and NETINFO_LIST via magic.
* Newly exposed (python wrapped) are: D_PADS, TRACKS (was TRACK_PTRS),
NETNAME_MAP, NETCODE_MAP, wxString (without constructor purposely, read
comment in wx.i), MARKERS, ZONE_CONTAINERS, NETCLASSPTR, KICAD_T types.
* std::vector<SOMETHING*> tends to end up named SOMETHINGS in C++ and python.
Having the name consistent between like types is helpful, and between
languages. std::map<> ends up as SOMETHING_MAP.
* NETINFO_LIST::m_netNames and NETINFO_LIST::m_netCodes are now std::map
instead of hashtables, because swig does not yet support std::unordered_map.
* You can now get to any netclass or net info. NETNAMES_MAP and NETCODES_MAP
are traversable basically the same as a python dictionary using a python
string (not wsString) as the key! The wxString typemap converts python
string to wxString before the lookup happens. Iteration also works.
* Factor out PROPERTIES object from the PCB plugin code and move it into
common so it can be used by both the Pcbnew and Eeschema plugins.
* Add schematic I/O plugin manager for loading and saving schematic and
component library files.
* Add initial attempt at a parser for current schematic file format. This
parser will be infinitely more strict than the current parser which is very
forgiving in what it parses.
* Make minor changes to the base bitmap class to support the new parser.
* Add find root sheet support to sheet object to allow fetching the root
sheet from any sheet in the stack.
It is especially true in some Window Managers like KDE, but can be true in any WM, when initializations are made by TransferDataToWindow() method, called by the default wxInitDialogEvent handler.
This revised nginx.conf holds the cache for one week, truly. For some reason there are
two tuning knobs required to make one adjustment (cache duration). Without this fix the
cache was only held for 10 minutes. The most important change is the "inactive=1w" which
as I implied, is the *second* reference to one week. Sorry for this oversight.
Nginx can be run on something as simple as a raspberry PI. I run it on a network file
server attached to my desktop via copper ethernet. By caching the footprint libraries
from github, I can load all github libraries in about 2.5 seconds, making github the
fastest plugin of any kind.
This feature was not reliably available: neither pl_editor nor GAL supported
it. It has been replaced over the past few commits with a new zoom-to-selection
tool available in all applications and modes.
While defining functions in another namespace is technically allowed as
long as the definition can be matched to a declaration, this can lead to
ambiguous resolutions, such as here (GAL vs KIGFX).
This feature cannot work reliably for reasons explained in lp:1463505. Remove
the option on OS X builds and force cursor to the small one.

Coverity: CID 147344 Unchecked dynamic_cast
If a file that parses validly in Parse() but does not return a BOARD is loaded,
no exception will be thrown but the dynamic_cast will return NULL. This NULL
is tested by wxASSERT(), which does not actually halt anything (especially in
release builds), and then we proceed to board->SetFileName().
This can be demonstrated quickly by renaming a .kicad_mod to .kicad_pcb and
trying to load it. pcbnew will crash.
Currently, kicad_pcb files have a (version ...) tag, but it is ignored. This
commit does the following:
1. Parse the version. If it's later than the last supported version, present an
alternative error message suggesting an upgrade if the file does not load
correctly. The version will be interpreted as an integer YYYYMMDD to suggest
a KiCad release date.
2. Accept a (version ...) tag also in kicad_mod files, but do not write them
yet. If no version tag is present in these files, assume the version to be that
of the current format version at the time of this commit.
This is meant to be merged to the 4.x stable series, and preps for KiCad 5
which will start emitting version tags also in footprints - users with what
will then be 'old stable' will not get a parse error when we introduce this for
footprints, and we can safely increment the format version later.
It should help if (or when) the internal angle unit used in kicad will be changed from 0.1 degree (a relic of code written for PCs without fpu) to degree ( a more natural unit).
* Always hide footprint text when the layer that the text resides is disabled
in the layer manager. There is no longer a difference between the value and
reference text compared to other field text.
* The usual smattering of coding policy fixes and general code cleaning.
* Paths defined via pcbnew->Preferences->Configure Paths are now included in
the 3D file browser's drop-down list except for KICAD_PTEMPLATES, KIGITHUB,
KISYSMOD, any paths resembling a URL, and any non-existent paths. When an
absolute path is shortened using one of these path aliases, let's say
'KISYS3DMOD' then the name appears in the pcb file as "${KISYS3DMOD}/blah.wrl".
If a user defines and actual environment variable with the same name, then
that user defined variable will have precedence over the internally defined
variable.
* Paths relative to the current project directory are no longer represented
as "some/path/to/file.wrl". For compatibility with previous KiCad versions
it shall always be stored as ${KIPRJMOD}/some/path/to/file.wrl.
* Various restrictions on alias path values have been removed since the
imposed restrictions could result in corrupted user data as aliases are
silently dropped.
* Overall the patch should improve back-compatibility by providing a ${ENV_VAR}
mechanism for supporting different model root directories and ensuring that
paths relative to KIPRJMOD are expressed in a way that is compatible with
earlier KiCad versions. This allows users more flexibility and the ability
to work in a way that ensures 3D model files can be correctly resolved in
earlier versions of KiCad. Users who do not care about back-compatibility
may prefer to use the newer alias system.
Fixa also a corner case which crashes Pcbnew: if the dialog is opened, and the board was changed (reloaded, cleared), pcbnew crashed because many pointers stored in dialog become invalid. Now the dialog is just closed.
- When the Kicad manager is iconized, all other child frames are iconized (normal wxWidgets behavior)
- For viewer frames in modal mode, there is a more annoying issue: they have the wxFLOAT_ON_PARENT frame style on unix, and wxSTAY_ON_TOP on Windows.
wxFLOAT_ON_PARENT frame style is incorrect (although on most WM it works) because the parent frame (Kicad manager Frame) is not the caller. It is usually a main editor frame.
It does not work on Windows (wx STAY_ON_TOP is used).
* Now each editor frame has a null parent.
Therefore iconizing the Kicad manager frame does not iconize other frames.
* Viewer frames have null parent in normal mode and the caller parent in modal mode (therefore wxFLOAT_ON_PARENT frame style is always and correctly used)
* References to opened/closed main frames are no more managed by the (complicated) kicad code. Instead of, a non critical and more easy to understand code just uses FindWindowByName to know if a main window exists or not.
These changes do not fix all issues about Kicad frames brought to the foreground or the background, but it fixes a few issues, and AFAIK do not add other issues.
The attached patch makes the following changes to import DXF:
1. correctly implements scaling based on DXF $INSUNITS -
at least where INSUNITS is sensible. I ignore units like miles,
gigameters, AU, lightyear, parsec ...
2. correctly implements LWPolylines, adding an ARC segment
rather than a line segment when bulge != 0. A number of users
have been complaining about getting the wrong board shape
(chamfered corners rather than rounded corners) on DXF Import,
now they shouldn't complain.
Following rev 6627 (git 2777182), if a non-duplicatable item was the object of
a Duplicate action, the original item would be picked up, potentially
misleading the user into thinking something was actually duplicated.
Do not assert that the item to be duplicated can be duplicated, just don't
duplicate it. The user can trigger a Duplicate on items that aren't
duplicatable, like field texts - he'll figure out that they can't be duplicated
when they aren't, no need to deliver a scary warning and risk an abort.

TODO: Don't pick up the duplicated selection if none of the items in it were
actually duplicated, it's misleading.
