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).
* Move the component library save file creation and write error dialogs
into the appropriate frame object.
* Change the save component library and document definitions take an
OUTPUTFORMATTER object instead of a file name.
* Change the component alias save document definition function to take
an OUTPUTFORMATTER object instead of a file handle.
* Use version of DateAndTime that returns a wxString and delete the
version that takes a char* as it is no longer required.

single function for comparing strings with integers and remove a lot
of duplicate code.

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.
* Fix bug that prevented component from being replaced in library when
the component root name was changed.
* Fix drawing bug when changing text or field item string while move in
progress.
* Fix drawing bug when rotating text item while move in progress.

* Fix assert bug when replacing component in library when the component
root name was changed.

prevented any field from being changed.

objects.

scheme.

* Drop Boost pointer containers for standard C++ containers.
* Moved duplicate name user interface elements from library object to
library editor.
* Added code to support direct addition and replacement of component
alias objects into libraries.
* Removed temporary strings used to add and remove alias objects.
* Libraries only store alias objects, components now accessed thru alias.
* Simplify library API for adding, removing, and replacing components.
* Updated edit component in library dialog and library editor to reflect
component library object changes.
* Fixed bug in library viewer when displaying alias name.
* Made a few header files compile stand alone per the new coding policy.
* Remove some dead code and the usual code formatting fixes.
* Replaced find dialog with wxFormBuilder version.
* New find dialog is modeless, supports more advanced search features,
remembers it's last position, size, search history, and search settings,
and implements initial support for replacing.
* Added Shift+F5 hot key to search for next DRC marker. F5 now just
repeats previous search.
* Minor cosmetic enhancements to label edit dialog.
* Remove tab from grid size text printf to fix toolbar grid combobox
display in wxGTK.
* Updated my TODO list items.
* Replace EESchema sheet properties dialog with wxFormBuilder version.
* Editing an existing sheet now marks schematic as modified.
* Code style updates for some of my previous work.
* Improvements to the CMP_LIB_ENTRY object.
* Replaced symbol edit export fprintf code with wxFFile implementation.
* GCC compiler warning fix in pcbnew/drc.cpp.
* Use single list for component library draw item and fields to simplify
component library object.
* Add field manipulation helper methods to component library object.
* Make component library draw item edit dialog sizable.
* 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.
* Replace component library editor new component dialog using wxFormBuilder.
* Rename component library draw items to conform to current coding standards.
* Add GetWidth() method to component library draw objects.
* Add regular expression key word search capability to component library object.
* Component library objects renamed for improved readability.
* Fields now move when selected in library editor.
* Add copy constructor to all library draw and library component objects.
* Added copy constructor to EDA_BaseStruct.
* Delete base screen in WinEDA_DrawFrame destructor to prevent potential memory leak.
* Fixed memory access bug when replacing and adding a component to library.
* Moved library component block manipulation code into component object.
* Removed all of the global variables used by the library editor main window object.
* The usual code cleaning and refactoring.
* Split out application specific command IDs to prevent unnecessary rebuilding.
* Eliminate duplicate menu and tool bar command IDs.
* Split component library editor and viewer definitions to separate header files.
* More component library and document file merge code.
* A bunch of minor string readability and consistency fixes.
* Create static component library methods to manage library list.
* Rename component library, component, and alias objects to more readable name.
