*) Add scripts/library-repos-install.sh for downloading *.pretty libraries and possibly using them.
*) Remove template/fp-* files, they are now at https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-library/template/*
so they can be maintained by the library team. However note that it is possible to break
kicad-install.sh with uncoordinated changes to that github repo.
It is best to delete your ~/kicad_sources/kicad-lib.bzr directory before running kicad-install.sh
at this or any newer version relative to an older library repo.
This response file is not expanded under mingw3 2 (mingw/gcc bug?), and the list of include paths, found in this file, is not taken in account.
Now, under mingw32+msys, when not cross-compiling, the response file is disabled.
Cvpcb, Pcbnew: fix a list of libs which should be added only when cross-compiling:
Previously, they were always added, which creates an issue with mingw/msy/ gcc 2.8.
Now they are added only when cross-compiling (this issue was noticeable only with msys+mingw version 2.8)
Mingw, all: remove static link of libgcc, which can create issues when using dll version of wxWidgets.
Therefore libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll should be in the paths for executables.
*) Set environment variable KISYSMOD before loading FP_LIB_TABLE so that
FP_LIB_TABLE::ROW::SetFullURI() can do substitution up front.
*) De-emphasize the lib path in some of the footprint frames but keep it
so the footprint editor can export a current library to another.
You can even export a GITHUB library to a pretty library for local
installation.
*) Start the PLUGIN options editor.
*) Enhance cursor positioning in DIALOG_FP_LIB_TABLE.
* Add save table and set project path environment variable code to
FP_LIB_TABLE object.
* Add code to Pcbnew and CvPcb to set project path environment variable.
* Create empty footprint table in Pcbnew when new board created.
* Save current project specific footprint library table to path on file save
as or empty project path.
* Fix a bug in Pcbnew in file save function that would silently overwrite
an existing board file.
* Disable selecting the current library in the module editor when there are
no libraries defined.
* Catch exceptions and report errors when writing footprint library tables.
* Fix Boost build CMakeFile to fix bug when bootstrapping a Boost build in
MSys.
Remove KICAD_GOST option because it is now useless: the 2 GOST options are now selectable at run time and are:
* specific page layouts (now user definable, and the GOST page layouts are available in template folder)
* notation for multiple parts per package (made in eeschema, preference menu)
* Pre-built binaries for OpenSSL can be used from the LuaDist project: https://github.com/LuaDist/openssl/releases
* Building of Boost libraries fixed for Mingw-w64 for github plugin
Enhance IO_MGR::GuessPluginTypeFromLibPath() to support the GITHUB plugin.
Build boost with -fPIC on Linux unconditionally, in preparation for
DLL/DSO build of kicad.
Add python script to test back to back reads of GITHUB plugin.
* Remove defined CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX for Windows from main CMakeList.txt.
* Move footprint library path detection code from pcbnew.cpp to EDA_APP
object.
* Add CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to config.h.cmake.
* Simplify and fix search path list code.
* Add CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to the list of search paths in case KiCad was
installed using `make install`.
* Add default global footprint library table to CMake install.
* Add method to set footprint library table to PCB_BASE_FRAME object.
* Remove unused function EDA_APP::GetLibraryFile().
* Minor FP_LIB_TABLE object improvements.
must be defined if that is the build type wanted. This only affects a text string
anyways, is not particularly important other than telling user from which code
branch the source came.
2) Change name of "testing" to "product" in that same description within
common/build_version.cpp. "testing" made it sound frightenly unusable.
New classes:
- VIEW - represents view that is seen by user, takes care of layer ordering & visibility and how it is displayed (which location, how much zoomed, etc.)
- VIEW_ITEM - Base class for every item that can be displayed on VIEW (the biggest change is that now it may be necessary to override ViewBBox & ViewGetLayers method for derived classes).
- EDA_DRAW_PANEL_GAL - Inherits after EDA_DRAW_PANEL, displays VIEW output, right now it is not editable (in opposite to usual EDA_DRAW_PANEL).
- GAL/OPENGL_GAL/CAIRO_GAL - Base Graphics Abstraction Layer class + two different flavours (Cairo is not fully supported yet), that offers methods to draw primitives using different libraries.
- WX_VIEW_CONTROLS - Controller for VIEW, handles user events, allows zooming, panning, etc.
- PAINTER/PCB_PAINTER - Classes that uses GAL interface to draw items (as you may have already guessed - PCB_PAINTER is a class for drawing PCB specific object, PAINTER is an abstract class). Its methods are invoked by VIEW, when an item has to be drawn. To display a new type of item - you need to implement draw(ITEM_TYPE*) method that draws it using GAL methods.
- STROKE_FONT - Implements stroke font drawing using GAL methods.
Most important changes to Kicad original code:
* EDA_ITEM now inherits from VIEW_ITEM, which is a base class for all drawable objects.
* EDA_DRAW_FRAME contains both usual EDA_DRAW_PANEL and new EDA_DRAW_PANEL_GAL, that can be switched anytime.
* There are some new layers for displaying multilayer pads, vias & pads holes (these are not shown yet on the right sidebar in pcbnew)
* Display order of layers is different than in previous versions (if you are curious - you may check m_galLayerOrder@pcbnew/basepcbframe.cpp). Preserving usual order would result in not very natural display, such as showing silkscreen texts on the bottom.
* Introduced new hotkey (Alt+F12) and new menu option (View->Switch canvas) for switching canvas during runtime.
* Some of classes (mostly derived from BOARD_ITEM) now includes ViewBBox & ViewGetLayers methods.
* Removed tools/class_painter.h, as now it is extended and included in source code.
Build changes:
* GAL-based rendering option is turned on by a new compilation CMake option KICAD_GAL.
* When compiling with CMake option KICAD_GAL=ON, GLEW and Cairo libraries are required.
* GAL-related code is compiled into a static library (common/libgal).
* Build with KICAD_GAL=OFF should not need any new libraries and should come out as a standard version of Kicad
Currently most of items in pcbnew can be displayed using OpenGL (to be done are DIMENSIONS and MARKERS).
More details about GAL can be found in: http://www.ohwr.org/attachments/1884/view-spec.pdf
include/vector2d.h: Removed old version
include/math/math_util.h: rescale() for VECTOR2
include/math/vector2d.h: New version of VECTOR2
include/math/box2.h: New version of BOX2
common/drawframe.cpp: Refactorization of code, so it is compatible with new classes
include/plot_common.h, pcbnew/basepcbframe.cpp: Changed header inclusion path
CMakeLists.txt: Added definition to turn on WX_COMPATIBILITY for replacement classes
* Improve the stable and testing build version option logic.
* Use CMake FindPythonInterp to configure the Python interpreter.
* Use Python interpreter to determine the system Python module install
path if not already defined on the command line.
* Add header symbol checks for asinh(), acosh(), and atanh().
* Add test source to check for isinf() which can be defined as a C++template.
* Replace conditional compile on windows systems for aXXXh() with CMake
configuration tests.
* A few minor MSVC compile fixes.
* Fix incorrect python environment string in fixswigimports.py
* Create a separate document for KiCad CMake build options.
* Create a separate how to compile KiCad on Windows document.
their type, by using the more abstract PLUGIN::Footprint*() functions.
This is an intermediate phase only, other changes will be necessary as library table support comes in.
Encapsulate usage of library path searching, since that will go away as library table support comes in.
Add FOOTPRINT_EDIT_FRAME::{get,set}LibPath() and FOOTPRINT_EDIT_FRAME::{get,set}LibNickName() functions
to provide this encapsulation.
some functions used in wxWidgets ( like _strdup and few other) are not defined when this option is set.
but the equivalent option -std=gnu++0x works fine so it is used under mingw instead of -std=c++0x.
(Under Linux/OSX the option -std=c++0x is used)
This required the additional compiler command line option "-std=c++0x".
2) Switch to unique_ptr from auto_ptr which is C++ deprecated.
3) Change to new English layer names per mailing list discussion, see class_board.cpp.
4) When saving to *.kicad_pcb or *.kicad_mod, identify opportunities to use wildcard
layer sets, for pads so far.
5) Switch to two std::string hashtables in pcb_parser.cpp, away from one wxString based one
for layer names and layer sets mapping. One hashtable holds the mask, the other the index.
Layer sets are only in the mask table.
6) Move "LOCALE_IO toggle" into PCB_IO::Format() since it is a public API function and
caller should find it as convenient as possible to use. LOCALE_IO should handle
nesting OK in the case where public Format() is called from one of the Footprint*()
functions.
7) Drop support for "export module to new library". Creating new libraries will have to
be handled in concert with library table entries, and we've talked recently about
creating a better footprint library manager, one that resides in a DLL/DSO. So
this kind of functionality needs to be handled in there in the near future.
8) Change name of exported PCB_IO module/footprint to *.kicad_mod and not *.emp.
* Add footprint methods to PCB_IO.
* Add FP_CACHE and FP_CACHE_ITEM for handling new footprint library design.
* Add code to save legacy libraries in new format.
* Change behavior of BOARD_ITEM::GetLayerName() to return the default layer
name when the item does not have a BOARD as a parent.
* Minor changes to the module output formatter when writing to module library
files (no BOARD as parent).
* Add new (and some that I forgot along the way) CMake flags to
EDA_BASE_FRAME::CopyVersionInfoToClipboard().
* Add -Wno-narrowing to GCC flags to stop GCC 4.7 from complaining about
a conversion from int to unsigned in the Boost polygon library.
* Add INPUT_STREAM_READER to richio.cpp to allow using any object derived
from wxInputStream as a LINE_READER (needs to be validated).
* Apply Dick's patch along with a few minor changes to fix some clashes with
changes in my branch. Thanks Dick!
* Added missing DRAWSEGMENT line angle.
* Fix thru hole pad layer mask issue.
Delete LEGACY_PLUGIN cache after deleting library of same name.
Remove automatically generted freerouter help header.
Add Normalize() to BOX2.
Clamp some values in the virtual space of drawframe.cpp
* Save dialog now supports saving boards to new file format.
* Add CMake option to build s-expression file save.
* Add check to main CMakeList.txt file to make sure nanometers are
enables when the new file format is built.
* Minor tweaks to object format functions for improved output.
* Rename kicad_plugin.h/cpp to legacy_plugin.h/cpp.
This uses the new LEGACY_PLUGIN, so we can force more usage & testing of it
before ioascii.cpp and item_io.cpp are deleted, along with
BOARD_ITEM::Save() and BOARD_ITEM::ReadDescr() associated functions.
* Add s-expression Format() function to all objects derived from
BOARD_ITEM.
* Add s-expression Format() function to base objects as required.
* Add functions to convert coordinates from base internal units
(nanometers) to millimeter string for writing to s-expression
file.
* Add temporary dummy conversion functions to prevent link errors
until schematic and board object and action code can be separated
into DSO/DLL.
* Add CMake build option to build Pcbnew with nanometer internal
units.
Added configuartion option KICAD_NANOMETRIC for this.
* With option set to false: *
- it should work and compile as usual
- some values are saved with decimal point (which should be backward/forward compatible as old versions should just drop fractional part)
* With option set to true: *
- lengths in Global Design Rules should be settable 1nm steps.
FROM/TO_LEGACY_LU(_DBL) macros introduced for easy interconnection between old and new units.
* Move the hierarchical label connected test into the NETLIST_OBJECT class.
* ERC pin type strings can now be translated.
* Remove unused EDA_DRAW_PANEL attribute from all ERC test functions.
* Add get marker count method to SCH_SCREENS object.
* Redundant header removal.
* Lots of coding style policy fixes.
* Add KiCad build option states to copy version information to clipboard
function.
* Add a note to the main CMakeList.txt file to let developers know that
new option states should be added to the copy version information to
clipboard function.
Remove or move old .ico and .pgn files and add new icons (.ico files and .png files) in bitmaps_png/icons and bitmaps_xpm/icons
.png files and .ico are used to build desktop shortcuts
Handle variable size bitmaps in kicad.
* Add USE_IMAGES_IN_MENUS definition to override the default platform
behavior for adding images to menu items.
* Update COMPILING.txt to document how to use USE_IMAGES_IN_MENUS.
* Fix Windows segfault when creating language selection submenu introduced
by new bitmap code in r3087.
* Changed per email from JP from CVPcb to CvPcb because I'm getting old and
blind and misread the email.
* Lot's of Doxygen comment and coding style policy fixes.
* Change the minimum required CMake version to 2.6.4 for all build platforms
except Windows and OSX.
* Move all schematic plot code from plot.cpp into the appropriate schematic
objects.
* Create SCH_SCREEN plot method to plot all objects in the schematic
screen.
* Delete plot.cpp and remove it from the CMakeList file.
CMake: add definition KICAD_TESTING_VERSION and KICAD_STABLE_VERSION.
One of these 2 options *must* be now defined (i.e. run cmake with option -DKICAD_STABLE_VERSION or -DKICAD_TESTING_VERSION
Stable and testing branches should be more easier to maintain.
* Merged CMake 2.8.4 version of FindwxWidgets.cmake with local copy.
* Merged CMake 2.8.4 version of UsewxWidgets.cmake with local copy.
* Bump required version of CMake to 2.8.0.
* Delete commented out include from eeschema/protos.h that I forgot on my
last commit.
* Remove all occurrences if #ifdef USE_WX_ZOOM and all associated code within
the #else/#endif block ( old zoom code ).
* Removed the build option for USE_WX_ZOOM from CMakeList.txt and config.h.in.
* Removed all scaling code in base screen object.
* Fixed buffered paint and buffered client DC on Windows. Buffering works
properly on Linux and Windows.
* Modified kicad_device_context.h to automatically uses buffering on platforms
where double buffering is supported natively.
* Remove all of the scaled versions of the drawing functions in gr_basic.cpp
and any support code.
* Removed all traces of ActiveScreen global variable from eeschema and
gerbview.

* Fix Doxygen waring in help_common_strings.h
It follows the CMake wiki
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ#Can_I_do_.22make_uninstall.22_with_CMake.3F
and it should work if one
compiles from the build directory (building all kicad).
You can use it running the following commands from the kicad source
tree root:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make
(using root) make install
(using root) make uninstall
* Now link with XML support within wxWidgets.
* Start of export the generic netlist in XML. Still need to rework the chain
loaded netlist plugin.
* OBJ_CMP_TO_LIST class now uses a std::string to hold the 8 bit string m_Ref,
but hides this behind accessors which provide for both Unicode and 8 bit
set and get functions.
* build_BOM.cpp retains the selected filename on subsequent runs as a default.
* Code cleaning, especially in build_BOM.cpp.
* Implement code to allow wxDC to handle coordinate conversions between
device and drawing units.
* Add build settings to enable wxGCDC for wxGraphicsContext testing.
* Remove wxAUI conditional build cruft as it is now required to build
Kicad.
* Fix scroll increment size regression to prevent jumping around the

+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.
Note that this isn't implemented in the minizip CMakeLists.txt, but at the higher level (kicad) that includes the minizip subdirectory, so that the whole minizip directory can be dropped from the shipped source tree if it isn't needed on your distro. This makes the source package a fraction smaller and removes possible complications of having a different license on the minizip code to the rest of kicad.
