* Split and rewrite the preview window and canvas.
* Create a new class for handling the board information.
* Adds new render targets: openGL, legacy, and ray tracing.
* Render targets take full advantage of the new 3D plugins system and 3D cache
for a fast 3D model loading.
* Faster board loading.
* New OpenGL render is faster than the old one.
* New ray tracing render target with a post processing shader.
* Use of new 3D plugins (WRL, X3D, STEP and IGES) and 3D model caching.
* Preview of 3D model while browsing the file name.
* 3D preview of the footprint while adding / align 3D shapes.
* Render of 3D models according to attributes: Normal, Normal+Insert, Virtual.
* Pivot rotation centered in one point over the PCB board.
* Shortcuts keys improved for XYZ orientation..
* Animated camera.
It is especially true in some Window Managers like KDE, but can be true in any WM, when initializations are made by TransferDataToWindow() method, called by the default wxInitDialogEvent handler.
3dviewer: back to double (from float) in class S3D_MASTER for 3 members (m_MatScale, m_MatRotation, m_MatPosition) which are used in dialogs and r/w file functions, which expect double.
Using float create minor but unwanted issues in r/w file functions.
S3D_MATERIAL: enable all color options: if a 3d shape has bad color parameters, the shape must be modified, not the 3d rendering.
The rendering now matches what we see in other vrml viewer like FreeCAD.
Some minor coding style fixes.
All: press ctrl+shift key when moving the mouse allows the graphic cursor to be moved outside the grid.
(useful to place graphic objects, texts in any position, regardless the current grid)
* 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.
