* default file ext is now .gbr (the "official extension")
* some outdated commands remoded.
* mainly use mm and 4.5 format instead of inches and 3.4 format. this is mandatory,
because the 3.4 format (comming from old pcbned internal units) creates truncations in coordinates.
(with serious issues in polygons which can appear self-intersecting afer truncation)
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.
They are now member of EDA_DRAW_FRAME.
This change could fix Bug #1330781 (Background color change in Eeschema affects background color in Pcbnew)
Show page limits has meaning only for the schematic editor, the board editor and the page layout editor.
Draw background color selection exists only in eeschema and page layout editor.
In pcbnew, only a black background is allowed.
A side effect is now the user should set the background color in schematic editor, and the library editor (2 different options).
The default is still the white color.
- Refactored the common part of cursor key movement and crosshair update
in the various GeneralControl
- Add x10 movement with the keyboard (CTRL modifier)
- Avoid fixup of the cursor position by dummy mouse movements generated
by cursor warping (original analysis and idea Chris Gibson)
- Do key handling in a way to permit sub-pixel cursor movement
Change class PROJECT to use a generalized wxString in place of the
RETAINED_PATH items, so that new session and project specific strings
of any purpose can be saved there, for the life of a session.
Do not pay attention to add/remove files - it seems there may be a bug in git-bzr-ng plugin. I have checked them, they stayed exactly the same as before.
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.
Fix ( workaround only) crash (Windows only) when a quasi modal frame (like footprint viewer) was called from a dialog (like the component properties dialog in schematic editor).
Very minor other fixes.
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.
