CHANGED: Derived library symbols will inherit optional fields defined by
their parent symbol and override existing optional fields.
CHANGED: The symbol editor will now only display the fields defined in
derived symbols rather than show mandatory fields inherited from the
parent symbol. Showing fields that cannot be edited would be confusing.
CHANGED: All mandatory fields in derived symbols can be edited. This
not only includes the field value but also all text properties.
Kill the dual datasheet variable storage which caused many datasheet
bugs over the years. The datasheet is now always stored in the data
sheet field.
In order allow the new file format to support derived symbols with
field properties that are different than the parent symbol, the code
that copied the parent field properties to the derive symbol field
properties had to moved out of LIB_PART::SetParent() into the legacy
symbol library plugin and the symbol library editor add new symbol
code to preserve the current behavior and not overwrite derived
symbol field properties.
This lays the ground work for allowing field properties of derived
symbols to be different than their parent symbol.
CHANGED: The symbol library save menu entry is now only enable when the
currently selected library is modified.
CHANGED: The symbol library save all menu entry and tool bar button are
enabled when one or more of the symbol libraries have been modified.
REMOVED: The ability to save symbol libraries in the legacy file format.
Every time SCH_COMPONENT::GetDrawItem() was called, the schematic symbol
pin table was updated. Under certain conditions, this happens inside
loops so the amount of time spent rebuilding the pin table can add up.
Force default settings to be written instead of undefined which mimics
the behavior of the previous file format with the exception of text
objects which requires some more thought. Please note that no new
features are added to the library file format so the file version did
not need to be updated.

You can now choose the behavior of dragging with the
middle and right mouse buttons.
You can also choose which modifier keys to use for
panning and zooming with the scroll wheel or trackpad.
You can also customize the zoom speed, which makes
it possible to have a good zoom experience on a wider
range of input devices.
You can also now zoom by dragging with the right or
middle button if desired.

Note: this is a basic implementation but it could be
improved once we include bus information in the netlist
and pcbnew can natively keep track of buses and nets
instead of just nets.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/4158
As a visual aid, we can peek into the child to see if a pin
represents a bus in the child (in the case of aliases etc
we might not be able to tell by the name of the pin).
Only do this if there isn't anything else driving a connection
onto the sheet pin in the parent sheet.

Apparently at some point in our development history, we allowed aliases
to be saved in the cache library. The rescue code was only looking for
root symbols in the cache library which caused missing symbol rescues.
Flattening the symbols ensures the rescue library will have a unique
symbol for every symbol in the schematic. This bug also was in play
when rescuing from the symbol library table.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/4494
This was causing junctions to not always be added on wire
segments that overlapped component pins, because the pin
might not be part of the component bounding box before
UpdateLocalLibSymbolLinks() is called. When the bbox
was never updated, these symbols weren't collected by
the rtree query for objects overlapping a point.
* Move it to a panel along with the canvas to have a better UI
* Allow the infobar to automatically close after a set time
CHANGED: The eeschema find notifications now use the infobar instead of
a popup window
This widget allows for non-intrusive display of text
above the editing canvas. Currently, this is used
for displaying the read only status of the files.
Set up a new lineage for SCH_ITEMS to get back to the SCHEMATIC
they live on: Items will all be parented to the SCH_SCREEN that
they are added to, and each SCH_SCREEN will point back to the
SCHEMATIC that it is part of. Note that this hierarchy is not
the same as the actual schematic hierarchy, which continues to
be managed through SCH_SHEETs and SCH_SHEET_PATHS.
Add required library symbols to new file formatter and parser when copying
schematic symbols to prevent missing library symbol when pasting into a
different schematic which may not have the same library symbol available.
Fix a minor bug where the default schematic symbol reference was not set
by the parser when loading.

Calling config() gets you whatever APP_SETTINGS_BASE is returned
by the underlying kiface, which is currently going to be an
EESCHEMA_SETTINGS everywhere this is used, but that isn't a
guarantee.
Apparently the < operator was never implemented for SCH_JUNCTION objects
so they were not get sorted which was causing the large diffs between
schematic saves.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/4369
The duplicate sheet code path assigned a SCH_SCREEN object instead of a
SCH_SHEET object as a parent. A recently added assertion to check for
this did it's job.

In order to avoid confusion when loading legacy schematics, updating time
stamp UUIDs is no longer performed. If users where not experiencing issues
with time stamp clashes with shared schematics then this was probably a
case of me being overly cautious.
The original conversion code has be moved to
SCH_EDIT_FRAME::ConvertTimeStampUuids() so the working functionality is
not lost. This function should not be used until a way is found to update
the board from the schematics with the appropriate settings.
Move updating the pin maps from external code to the SCH_COMPONENT object
when changing the symbol body style (DeMorgan). This is a vein attempt
to make the SCH_COMPONENT object self contained so we don't have to depend
on the caller needing to figure out how to keep internal objects synced.
SCH_SCREEN::UpdateSymbolLinks() should only be called when working with
the legacy schematic file format. Add schematic symbol library symbol
links should be set using SCH_COMPONENT::SetLibSymbol() which updates
the symbol link and pin map accordingly.
Change the schematic symbol LIB_ID edit dialog to properly use the new
SCH_COMPONENT::SetLibSymbol() function.
Use flattened (root) library symbols to prevent broken library symbols
in schematic files.
Remove the edited symbol from screen before making changes to the symbol
to prevent potential orphaned symbol libraries being saved in schematic
file.
Add some defensive programming to let developers know that an invalid
library symbol link was used when calling SCH_COMPONENT::SetLibSymbol().
Removed some rogue calls to SCH_SCREEN::UpdateSymbolLinks() which should
only be called the last time the schematic is loaded from the legacy file
format. After that, all symbol library links should be changed using
SCH_COMPONENT::SetLibSymbol() which will prevent the pin maps from ending
up with broken symbol library pin links.

There has been a long standing (since the beginning of the project?)
issue with sharing schematics between projects. It has been somewhat
supported for complex hierarchies (a sheet shared multiple times in a
single design) but it has not been well supported for simple hierarchies
(the symbol references cannot be changed in the shared schematic). This
issue has been resolved by moving all of the symbol instance sheet paths
from the symbol definitions in the all of the project files and save all
symbol path instances in the root sheet. This ensures that orphaned
symbol instance paths do not accumulate in shared schematic files and
that designs that reuse schematic in simple hierarchies can how have
different references. It also allows the root schematic from one project
to be uses as a sub-sheet in another project.
When legacy schematics are loaded, all sheet and symbol UUIDs are
converted from time stamps to true UUIDs. This is done to ensure there
are no sheet path instance clashes between projects. That being said,
there are no checks for this. It is assumed that the probability of
UUID clashes is so low that it doesn't make sense to test for them.
This is a very large and potentially disruptive change so this will be an
unusually long and detailed commit message.
The new file formats are now the default in both the schematic and symbol
library editors. Existing symbol libraries will be saved in their current
format until new features are added to library symbols. Once this happens,
both the legacy schematic and symbol file formats will be no longer be
savable and existing libraries will have to be converted. Saving to the
legacy file formats is still available for round robin testing and should
not be used for normal editing.
When loading the legacy schematic file, it is imperative that the schematic
library symbols are rescued and/or remapped to valid library identifiers.
Otherwise, there will be no way to link to the original library symbol and
the user will be required manually set the library identifier. The cached
symbol will be saved in the schematic file so the last library symbol in
the cache will still be used but there will be no way to update it from the
original library.
The next save after loading a legacy schematic file will be converted to
the s-expression file format. Schematics with hierarchical sheets will
automatically have all sheet file name extensions changed to .kicad_sym
and saved to the new format as well.
Appending schematics requires that the schematic to append has already been
converted to the new file format. This is required to ensure that library
symbols are guaranteed to be valid for the appended schematic.
The schematic symbol library symbol link resolution has been moved out of
the SCH_COMPONENT object and move into the SCH_SCREEN object that owns the
symbol. This was done to ensure that there is a single place where the
library symbol links get resolved rather than the dozen or so different
code paths that previously existed. It also removes the necessity of the
SCH_COMPONENT object of requiring any knowledge of the symbol library table
and/or the cache library.
When opening an s-expression schematic, the legacy cache library is not
loaded so any library symbols not rescued cannot be loaded. Broken library
symbol links will have to be manually resolved by adding the cache library
to the symbol library table and changing the links in the schematic symbol.
Now that the library symbols are embedded in the schematic file, the
SCH_SCREEN object maintains the list of library symbols for the schematic
automatically. No external manipulation of this library cache should ever
occur.
ADDED: S-expression schematic and symbol library file formats.
Some items (tracks and footprint graphic items) when reading were added in reverse order
of the initial file, creating useless differences and breaking source comparisons.
Also fixes a bug where a bunch of eeschema settings weren't getting
loaded because it looked like they were larger than the max value
(which wasn't being scaled from mils to internal units).
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/2089
Also fixes a bug where we were depending on the old deque stuff's
deterministic traversal, which isn't provided by the new RTree stuff.

Once the gal canvas hsad the focus, it was not possible to use arrow keys in library
or symbols or fp lists even after clicking on an item.
This focus issue is now fixed.
Fixes#4292https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/4292
In Eeschema, texts are expected to have the same size X and size Y.
So we cannot set 2 different values for X and Y pin size:
- only size X is saved in file
- 2 different values for X and Y create bad look for pin + associated graphic symbol
Allowing separte values need a file format change *and* a code change.
Texts were drawn with a minimal line thickness = GetDefaultPenWidth().
The default pen width can be to large for small texts.
So the actual text thickness is now always clamped.
Unlike the global labels, the hierarchical label is not inside the graphic symbol.
So the graphic symbol size depends only of the text size, not of the text offset.
* Push all sizing operations into EDA_BASE_FRAME
* Save the unmaximized window size when maximizing
so that we can then save it in the config if the
window is maximized. Otherwise the config ends up
with the maximized size saved, and weird behavior
occurs when unmaximizing on the next opening.
Move the hierarchical sheet loading outside of the try exception block
so that any sheets that were loaded when a schematic file load fails
are loaded rather than skipped. This allows more of the schematic to
be loaded when any parser errors occur.
SCH_SHEET objects can only have another SCH_SHEET object as a parent
or nullptr for the root sheet so overload EDA_ITEM::SetParent() to
prevent the parent from being set to another type of object and add
some checks to the root sheet code just in case someone gets clever
and attempts to bypass the overloaded SetParent() call.
