inches and mm, the industry is crazy enough to force us with mixed
design. For example I routinely use imperial units for track size and
clearance, but drilling is strictly a metric issue...
So I added a little parser to recognize a suffix specification in the
unit text boxes... so you can put in things like:
1in (1 inch)
1" (idem)
25th (25 thou)
25mi (25 mils, the same)
6mm (6 mm, obviously)
The rules are: spaces between the number and the unit are accepted, only
the first two letters are significant.
As a bonus, it also recognize the period (.) as a decimal point
substituting it with the correct locale character (there was a wishlist
for it, IIRC). Most useful for number pad fans :D
* PCBNew remembers last net list read during the current editing session
as well as between project editing sessions. Closes bug 576902.
* Separate PCBNew application settings from project file settings and
allocate them dynamically instead of statically to make it easier to
eliminate global variables.
* All: remove all remaining occurrences of g_DialogFont and dialog font menu handers.
* All: remove all remaining non-standard fonts and button text colors from common dialogs.
* PCBNew: remove all non-standard fonts and button text colors from dialogs.
* PCBNew: update project library and path dialog to match changes to CVPCB version.
* EESchema: update project library and path dialog to match changes to CVPCB version.
* EESchema: save vertical/horizontal line direction setting between sessions.
