Eeschema, Pcbnew, and Cvpcb all run under the same process now,
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME!
*) Added KIWAY::PlayerCreate(), PlayerClose(), and PlayersClose().
*) Factored FRAME_T into <frame_type.h> from ID_DRAWFRAME_TYPE.
*) Found that the following command line is helpful for collecting all the *.kiface
files into the <build>/kicad/ directory so that kicad can find them.
$ cp `find . -name '*.kiface'` kicad/
Maybe somebody will want to rework how the CMake files are organized so all
the binaries can go into the same place. See python-a-mingw-us.
*) This might fix the problem on the Mac where child process windows were not
coming to the front. See ->Raise() in kicad/mainframe.cpp.
*) You can set USE_KIFACE to 0 in kicad/mainframe.cpp to chain load child exes
instead of using the KIFACE modules directly, i.e. revert.
if it is running under single_top.cpp or under a project manager.
*) Test Kiface().IsSingle() when adding menus, some operations are not permitted
when running under a project manager and the KIWAY_PLAYER is pegged to a
specific project.
*) Implemented KIWAY::KiFACE() so it loads *.kiface files. They still have to be
in the same directory as the main *.exe launcher, so this presents some difficulty
when the binaries are not yet installed but rather the *.kiface files are still
in their original build directories. For today, I simply copied _pcbnew.kiface
to build/kicad/.
*) Add a test case to kicad/mainframe.cpp just to get an early peek at loading
_pcbnew.kiface under the C++ project manager. Got that working for one
specific invocation just for proof of concept. Surprise, it works.
! The initial testing of this commit should be done using a Debug build so that
all the wxASSERT()s are enabled. Also, be sure and keep enabled the
USE_KIWAY_DLLs option. The tree won't likely build without it. Turning it
off is senseless anyways. If you want stable code, go back to a prior version,
the one tagged with "stable".
* Relocate all functionality out of the wxApp derivative into more finely
targeted purposes:
a) DLL/DSO specific
b) PROJECT specific
c) EXE or process specific
d) configuration file specific data
e) configuration file manipulations functions.
All of this functionality was blended into an extremely large wxApp derivative
and that was incompatible with the desire to support multiple concurrently
loaded DLL/DSO's ("KIFACE")s and multiple concurrently open projects.
An amazing amount of organization come from simply sorting each bit of
functionality into the proper box.
* Switch to wxConfigBase from wxConfig everywhere except instantiation.
* Add classes KIWAY, KIFACE, KIFACE_I, SEARCH_STACK, PGM_BASE, PGM_KICAD,
PGM_SINGLE_TOP,
* Remove "Return" prefix on many function names.
* Remove obvious comments from CMakeLists.txt files, and from else() and endif()s.
* Fix building boost for use in a DSO on linux.
* Remove some of the assumptions in the CMakeLists.txt files that windows had
to be the host platform when building windows binaries.
* Reduce the number of wxStrings being constructed at program load time via
static construction.
* Pass wxConfigBase* to all SaveSettings() and LoadSettings() functions so that
these functions are useful even when the wxConfigBase comes from another
source, as is the case in the KICAD_MANAGER_FRAME.
* Move the setting of the KIPRJMOD environment variable into class PROJECT,
so that it can be moved into a project variable soon, and out of FP_LIB_TABLE.
* Add the KIWAY_PLAYER which is associated with a particular PROJECT, and all
its child wxFrames and wxDialogs now have a Kiway() member function which
returns a KIWAY& that that window tree branch is in support of. This is like
wxWindows DNA in that child windows get this member with proper value at time
of construction.
* Anticipate some of the needs for milestones B) and C) and make code
adjustments now in an effort to reduce work in those milestones.
* No testing has been done for python scripting, since milestone C) has that
being largely reworked and re-thought-out.
Add missing calls to Show( false ) to some main frames (Kicad, eeschema, gerbview), to force config saving when closing these windows.
Code cleanup and minor coding style fixes in footprint_wizard_frame
* Create a generic yes/no/cancel dialog from DIALOG_EXIT.
* Make DIALOG_EXIT return wxID_YES instead of wxID_OK so it is consistent
with the standard message dialogs.
* Add missing license to confirm.h and confirm.cpp.
* Change Eeschema message dialog when loading a schematic if the current
schematic is modified to be more consistent with the exit dialog.
* Change Pcbnew message dialog when loading a board if the current board
is modified to be more consistent with the exit dialog.
* Remove some Eeschema block debug logging code left over from my last
commit.
was simply a pointer to an object on the display list. At times this object
would disappear from the display list, in the test case because of a concatonation
of two wires, and if you then tried to clone the non-existent object you'd get a
crash. This was not merely a bug, but a naive design choice. IMO.
Now the item to repeat is cloned, so will never also be on the display list.
*) 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.
and various DIALOG classes called from top frames. See comments in
{eeschema,pcbnew}/invoke_a_dialog.h.
*) Move some dialog classes into *.cpp files from *.h files.
*) void SCH_EDIT_FRAME::OnErc( wxCommandEvent& event ) was opening the modeless
ERC dialog more than once if icon was clicked more than once.
*) Remove BOM stuff.
In most case the assignment to null was not necessary since it was easily provable that the (local) variable wouldn't have referenced after that anyway.
Pcbnew: in netlist dialog: The user now can choose between the netlist and the .cmp file to import footprints names.
Therfore no need to delete the .cmp file when exists to use only the netlist.
This is useful for users who use CvPcb only once to fill footprints fields in schematic, and after edit/modify the footprints fields in schematic outside CvPcb.
* Improve MSG_PANEL_ITEM to handle message panel information.
* Create containers for passing message panel items between objects and
the message panel.
* Rename EDA_ITEM::DisplayInfo to EDA_ITEM::GetMsgPanelInfo.
* Remove all direct manipulation of EDA_DRAW_FRAME from all objects derived
from EDA_ITEM.
Pcbnew: Drc dialog: fix a old very minor bug.
Added: single click on an item in marker list moves the board graphic cursor on the corresponding marker location on the board
Double clicking is not modified.
clean duplicate code.
Simplify HPGL dialog: plot offet removed and replace by only one option (plot origin to center of sheet or not)
This is surely enought.
Eeschema (also Libedit and Libview) starts always to the default grid (50 mils)
Gerbview starts with the last selected grid, but the validity is tested.
In Pcbnew the grid value is always displayed, so it should always be good.
Other scaling factors (MILS_TO_IU_SCALING_FACTOR and DECIMILS_TO_IU_SCALING_FACTOR)
also defined only in convert_to_biu.h.
Allows different scaling value for Gerbview.
Needs more tests.

horizontal and vertical references wont mean anything once the
tool bars are movable.

the remaining valid child items when an item had more than one child
item that matched the search criteria.
* Add SCH_FIND_COLLECTOR class to find all items that meet the specified
search criteria.
* Add SCH_FIND_COLLECT0R_DATA to keep track of information for all matching
items.
* Use collector to iterate over the list of items that match the search
criteria rather than trying to start at the last matched item.
* Remove unused searching methods from sheet path and sheet path list
objects.

* Fix bug in hierarchical searches using sheet path pointers which are
destroyed on every search. Use human readable path as last sheet found
in test to prevent comparison of deleted pointers.

pins if the search all fields flags was not set.
* Fix a bug in SCH_COMPONENT::Matches() to use the sheet path to perform
the comparison to the correct reference designator and unit number.
* Fix wrapping in sheet path and sheet path list MatchNextItem methods.

* Unify move and rotate hot keys commands.
* Remove external dependency for adding suffix to reference designator
fields.
* Make schematic field get and set position methods transform coordinates
