dropping files to Kicad manager :
*.kicad_pro, *.pro -> open project;
gerber and job files -> open in Gerbview editor;
Eagle and Cadstar files -> open project.
dropping file to schematic editor -> append schematic;
dropping library file to Symbol editor -> add library;
dropping board file to PCB editor -> append board;
dropping library or footprint file to Footprint editor -> add library or import footprint;
dropping ZIP file or gerber files to Gerbview editor -> open files;
dropping sheet file to Drawing Sheet editor -> open sheet.

No longer used by modern PCB processes.
Only the code to add the target to the board has been removed. Parsing
code for existing designs with targets is left in place.
Fixes: https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/10006
The condition that the board must have elements on it before allowing
the rotate command is invalid as we allow rotating new elements before
placement
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/10581
(cherry picked from commit c1dcfdffb1)
This is for the out-of-box experience for novice users. It is presumed
that folks with larger more complicated boards will turn it off.

The 3D mouse support is moved from PCB_EDIT_FRAME to PCB_BASE_FRAME.
This allows all PCB_BASE_FRAME derived windows to have 3D mouse enabled
2D navigation support.
Fix violations of 4.2.2 Function Definitions and 4.2.3 Control
Statements.
Set the minimum CMake version required to build to 3.1.
Removed the Visual Studio solution and project files.
Added full support for using a 3Dconnexion device in PCB_EDIT_FRAME. Commands are exported and can be assigned to 3D mouse buttons. Any limitations to the functionality are limitations of the installed 3Dconnexion driver for the device and OS.
Use build option KICAD_USE_3DCONNEXION (default = ON) to control whether the SpaceMouse support is compiled into the solution.
Also fixes a bug where zones meeting at a point would get merged
resulting in a self-intersecting zone.
Also fixes a bug where undo would not be handled correctly when zones
could not be merged.

The value of this rotation was store in 2 places: the config and the editor frame.
So after changing the rotation angle from the preferences, the value in editor
frames were not updated, and the rotation angle not modified.
Now only the config value is used.
We cannot resolve the Canvas type without the canvas being initialized.
But saving settings sometimes requests canvas access. This protects the
calls against failure by checking for canvas before saving
canvas-specific settings
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/9729
Also removes the message bar display of assigned netclass for
buses and bus-to-bus entries.
Also fixes a bug where assigning a netclass via the canvas only
looked at the first level of bus members (and not any nested
members).
Also fixes a bug where the bus name validator tried to validate
a vector bus first -- which doesn't work as a vector bus may be
nested in a group bus.
Also fixes a bug where we were failing to check for illegal
chars in bus definitions which otherwise passed the bus parsers.
See additional comments in the bug report.

This assigns the "Tab" key to a general pcbnew 45° limitation. Limit
can be enabled/disabled using context menu as well.
Removed the user preference for 45° limitation on graphic lines as that
is overlapping with the general limitation, which is not an editing
preference so much as a temporary adjustment to tool action.

Moves all of the find dialog control out of the selection tool similar
to the schematic editor. Dialog is also non-modal now to match the
schematic editor.

1) Don't wait for UpdateUserInterface to build the (global) list of
layer names.
2) Report clearance resolution between a silk layer and a mask layer.
3) When writing DRC reports, include info about the violating rule.
4) Report "no relevant layers" if we fail to find anything to write
a clearance resolution report about.

MacOS wxWidgets implementation of wxPrintf/Format suffers from some
issues when mixing string types. We avoid this by manually formatting
the string ourselves.
