*) 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.
Fix an annoying issue about not named nets:
now, these nets are named from the component references and pin names which are connected.
therefore, unless the net or the footprint references are modified, the net name is not modified between 2 netlist calculations.
Pcbnew: better test for allowed layers when creating/editing Dimensions and some other Graphic items
Drc: fix comments and messages for some drc tests.
To do: fix issues in active layer selection when creating a track and layer pair selection dialog
* 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.
*) add hotkey for setting the grid origin as 'S', in board editor, module editor.
*) re-position the function interface for cursor movement from BASE_SCREEN into
class EDA_DRAW_FRAME. This is a prelude to getting rid of BASE_SCREEN or
splitting it up.
* Add footprint library table loading to footprint editor.
* Overload FOOTPRINT_INFO::ReadFootprintFiles() to read footprints from the
footprint library tables.
* Fix a bug in FP_LIB_TABLE::IsEmpty() when the table has a fallback table.
* Add code to FOOTPRINT_EDIT_FRAME to use footprint library tables.
* Add an optional build time version of PCB_EDIT_FRAME::loadFootprints() to
populate netlist footprints from footprint library table.
* Remove adding footprints to board whenever GetModuleLibrary() is called and
move loading locally as required.
* Add missing source file license comments and coding policy fixes.
* Add code for loading, modifying, and saving the global and project
footprint library tables.
* Add code to load MODULE objects using the footprint library table to
the footprint viewer.
* Add static methods to FP_LIB_TABLE to support loading footprint library
tables.
* Fix a bug when full file name and path are passed to FOOTPRINT_INFO::
ReadFootprintFiles() which I created in bug fix lp:593989.
* Fix a wxString debug assertion in EDA_APP::InitEDA_Appl() when the KICAD
environment variable is defined as an empty string.
* Add error dialog when libraries cannot be found in system search path
when loading footprint using the select footprint dialog.
* Add footprint library name column to the EDA_LIST_DIALOG when selecting
footprints from the list.
* Allow reading all columns from the selected row in EDA_LIST_DIALOG.
* Remove redundant sort from EDA_LIST_DIALOG constructor
* Add library name member variable and accessors to FOOTPRINT_INFO.
* Make headers translatable for Eeschema select component from list dialog.
* Add some helper methods to FPID for identifying the FPID type and validity.
* Remove a bunch of trailing whitespace and add missing license comments.
The plan goes like this:
- eeschema still uses int in decidegrees
- all the other things internally use double in decidegrees (or radians
in temporaries)
- in pcbnew UI the unit is *still* int in decidegrees
The idea is to have better precision everywhere while keeping the user with int i
angles. Hopefully, if a fractional angle doesn't come in from the outside, everything
should *look* like an integer angle (unless I forgot something and it broke)
When the time comes, simply updating the UI for allowing doubles from the user should
be enough to get arbitrary angles in pcbnew.
* Create separate NETLIST object to hold contents of netlist files.
* Read entire netlist and footprint link files before making applying
changes to board.
* Add BOARD::ReplaceNetlist() function to eliminate the calls between the
NETLIST_READER, PCB_EDIT_FRAME, and BOARD objects.
* Change placement of new components below the center of the current board
or in the center of the page if the BOARD is empty.
* Add dry run option to netlist dialog to print changes to message control
without making changes.
* Add button to netlist dialog to allow saving contents of message control
to a file.
* Eliminate the need to compile netlist_reader_*.cpp in both CvPcb and Pcbnew.
* Add netlist_reader_*.cpp to the pcbcommon library.
* Remove redundant load component link file code from CvPcb.
* Modify CvPcb new to work with the new NETLIST_READER object.
* Add compare() function and < and == operators to FPID object.
* Add REPORTER class to hide an underlying string writing implementation for
use in low level objects. Thank you Dick for the idea.
* Lots of minor coding policy, Doxygen comment, and missing license fixes.
* 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).
and therefore tracks are now dragged when a end point is inside a pad, not necessary on the pad position.
However, drag functions still need more cleanup.
* Move EDA_TEXT object into separate header and source file.
* Compile EDA_TEXT class separately for BOARD_ITEM and SCH_ITEM units.
* Compile PAGE_INFO class separately for BOARD_ITEM and SCH_ITEM units.
* Minor formatting tweaks to Pcbnew s-expression file.
* Move internal unit formatting functions into BOARD_ITEM and SCH_ITEM.
* EDA_DRAW_FRAME completely encapsulated except for DrawFrame member.
* Moved members specific to Pcbnew from EDA_DRAW_FRAME to PCB_BASE_FRAME
or PCB_EDIT_FRAME as appropriate.
* Replace EDA_TOOLBAR with wxAuiToolBar as EDA_TOOL bar provided no
additional functionality and made code less readable.
* Remove EDA_TOOLBAR class definition from wxstruct.h and delete file
wineda_toolbar.cpp.
* Rename tool bar members to something more descriptive since the
horizontal and vertical references wont mean anything once the
tool bars are movable.
* Lots of dead code removal.
In common.cpp GetTimeStamp is renamed GetNewTimeStamp (a better name).
Pcbnew: prepare work to calculate connections between pads that inteserct and therefore can be connected without any track (composite pads).
* Removed Pcb_Frame argument from BOARD() constructor, since it precludes
having a BOARD being edited by more than one editor, it was a bad design.
And this meant removing m_PcbFrame from BOARD.
* removed BOARD::SetWindowFrame(), and BOARD::m_PcbFrame
* Removed the global BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS which was in class_board.cpp
* added BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS to the BOARD class, a full instance
* a couple dialogs now only change BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS when OK is pressed,
such as dialog_mask_clearance, dialog_drc, etc.
* Removed common/pcbcommon.cpp's int g_CurrentVersionPCB = 1 and replaced it
with build_version.h's #define BOARD_FILE_VERSION, although there may be a
better place for this constant.
* Made the public functions in PARAM_CFG_ARRAY be type const.
void SaveParam(..) const and void ReadParam(..) const
* PARAM_CFG_BASE now has virtual destructor since we have various way of
destroying the derived class and boost::ptr_vector must be told about this.
* Pass const PARAM_CFG_ARRAY& instead of PARAM_CFG_ARRAY so that we can use
an automatic PARAM_CFG_ARRAY which is on the stack.\
* PCB_EDIT_FRAME::GetProjectFileParameters() may no longer cache the array,
since it has to access the current BOARD and the BOARD can change.
Remember BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS are now in the BOARD.
* Made the m_BoundingBox member private, this was a brutally hard task,
and indicative of the lack of commitment to accessors and object oriented
design on the part of KiCad developers. We must do better.
Added BOARD::GetBoundingBox, SetBoundingBox(), ComputeBoundingBox().
* Added PCB_BASE_FRAME::GetBoardBoundingBox() which calls BOARD::ComputeBoundingBox()
* Replace C malloc() and free() functions with C++ new and delete
operators or the appropriate STL container.
* Add option to end mouse capture function to skip executing the end
mouse capture callback.
* Lots of coding policy and Doxygen comment goodness.
* Use version of DateAndTime that returns a wxString and delete the
version that takes a char* as it is no longer required.
* Merge StrNumICmp() and StrLenNumICmp() into StrLenNumCmp() to create a
single function for comparing strings with integers and remove a lot
of duplicate code.
* Remove unused strupper from string.cpp.
* Use wxArrayString for sorting the EDA_LIST_DIALOG contents.
* Modify algorithm to correctly calculate the virtual drawing size and
offset required to place the drawing correctly under all conditions.
* Ignore default wxWidgets scroll keys on Windows in EDA_DRAW_PANEL key
event handler.
Lee algorithm replaced by a Minimun Spanning Tree algo (using Prim's algorithm ).
Tested on a 5350 pads board, it is more than 100 times faster.
Also fix a crash when clicking on tool "delete selected items" (main horizontal toolbar),
and remove this tool (currently, no code in Pcbnew for this tool)
* 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.
