note: the Module editor save it with default orientation and layer, but the archive function does not, so some footprints can be not editable.
TODO: modify the Archive Function to use the default layer / orientation.
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).
* Factor auto save common code into base frame class so all frame windows
can take advantage of the shiny new auto save goodness.
* Use a timer instead of depending on mouse and keyboard events to trigger
an auto save.
* Check for auto save file when opening a board and ask user if they
wish to use the auto save file or the last saved board file.
* Protect all base frame public members.
* 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.
* Move auto save time global variables into PCB_EDIT_FRAME object.
* Move footprint library name list global variable int PCB_EDIT_FRAME
object.
* Improve library back up and temporary file error message strings and make
them translatable.
* PCBNew string unification.
* Translate French code names and comments.
* Coding style policy and Doxygen comment fixes.
* All header files used to create the PCB common library now compile as
stand alone code. This prevents the need to define them in a specific
order to make source code compile properly. It should also now be
possible to relocate the source code to build the common PCB library
to a separate folder.
* Check user write permissions before saving project, board, and footprint
library files.
* Append read only to file name and path in title bar when the user
does not have write privileges.
* Rename class WinEDA_ModuleEditFrame to FOOTPRINT_EDIT_FRAME.
* Lot's of Doxygen comment and coding style policy fixes.
* Fix grid select box update bug on context menu.
* Fix via size and track width select box update bugs.
* Fix layer pair indicator button update bug.
* Fix auto track width tool bar control enable bug.
* Fix via size and track width select status bug in context menu.
* Fix layer select box and layer control widget select bug when current
layer is removed.
* Add virtual function to notify objects derived from EDA_DRAW_FRAME that
the units setting has changed.
* Coding policy class naming fixes.
* Rename all member variables and methods that reference the cross hair
code in draw panel object from cursor to cross hair to eliminate confusion
between the two concepts.
* Rename cursor capture call backs in draw panel object to improve code
readability.
* Create helper class for turning off the cross hair while drawing.
* Remove redundant block clear code.
* Remove redundant mouse capture call back reset code when end capture
call back is called.
* Remove unused function definitions in base draw frame object.
* Lots of minor coding policy and doxygen comment fixes.
* Move schematic wire and bus break code into schematic screen object.
* Move schematic test for dangling ends into schematic screen object.
* Remove left over debugging output in schematic screen object.
* Remove unused file eeschema/cleanup.cpp.
* Fix bug in schematic line object hit test algorithm.
* Fix a string concatenation compile error added in r2752.
* Rename class WinEDA_BasicFrame to EDA_BASE_FRAME.
* Rename class WinEDA_DrawFrame to EDA_DRAW_FRAME.
* Rename class WinEDA_DrawPanel to EDA_DRAW_PANEL.
* Moved ReturnLayerName() to static BOARD::GetDefaultLayerName() and migrated
to a Specctra DSN compatible default layer naming scheme:
Component becomes Front, Copper becomes Back.
* set_color.h: Cmp becomes Front, Cu becomes Back.
* D_PAD::DisplayInfo() changed to use actual copper layer names.
* more layer setup dialog work, moved all programmatic wxControl instantiation
into the wxFormbuilder environment, but this is fraught with danger:
wxFlexGridSizer used the tallest control to establish the row heights, so
be careful about changing control borders in the scroll panel. The vertical
size can explode since just a couple of pixels times the number of rows
is substantial. Currently I am setting a 5 pixel border only left, top, and right
but not bottom.
* Set copper layer count is back in place as a hack until I can get the enabled
layer bit map fully operational.
* Replace all known instances of (const wxChar*) casts to GetChars() for
wxWidgets 2.9 compatibility.
* Cleaned up get component dialog so last part gets saved on wild card
selections.
* Remove redundant schematic component drawing code.
* Added SCH_COMPONENT constructor to create new component from library
component object.
* Add message panel helpers to WinEDA_DrawFrame and update old message
panel access code.
* Using library viewer to add component to schematic now respects unit
and body style selection.
