CHANGED: Settings are now stored in versioned sub-directories
ADDED: First-run dialog for migrating settings from a previous version
CHANGED: Settings are now stored as JSON files instead of wxConfig-style INI files
CHANGED: Color settings are now all stored in a separate settings file
CHANGED: The symbol editor and footprint editor now have their own settings files
CHANGED: Color settings are no longer exposed through BOARD object
CHANGED: Page layout editor now uses Eeschema's color scheme
Settings are now managed through a central SETTINGS_MANAGER held by PGM_BASE.
Existing settings will be migrated from the wxConfig format on first run of each application.
Per-application settings are now stored in one class for each application.
Property is a pad info used mainly for fabrication or test.
Currently, supported properties are:
BGA property (variant of SMD pad)
Fiducial (global to the board or local to the footprint)
Test Point
Heat sink
Castellated.
And are used in Gerber files (copper layers and drill files)
Increment BOARD_FILE_VERSION to 20200104
Mainly because it creates a new keyword a new keyword in *.kicad_pcb files,
and needs some tests, this is currently a advanced feature.
Enable it by adding "UsePinFunction=1" in "kicad_advanced" config file.
Note also "UsePinFunction=1" only enable saving this info in *.kicad_pcb
and kicad_mod files.
The pin name defined in Eeschema is now available as pad info.
Useful for the board designer (the pin function is displayed in the message panel).
Needed for the Gerber P&P files.
The parenthesis depth is 2 when the polygon isn't closed. This
shouldn't happen but we have the fall-through to handle odd cases

(cherry picked from commit d862cdaa72)
This places the arc approximation setting in the kicad_pcb file and uses
it for all parts of the board rendering where arcs are converted to
segments. This allows the user to customize their speed vs. accuracy
tradeoff. The default setting of maximum error of 0.005mm is acceptable
for small boards on moderate systems.
Give the user the option of cancelling a file open if there are
segment zones; otherwise they're converted to polygon fills.

the filled areas can use a hatch pattern (crossing lines) using square holes.
The zone filler removes too small holes (truncated holes) from hatch pattern.
It avoid to create small holes when a hole pattern is truncated by the filled area base shape.
Allows 0 to 4 chamfered corners, not only one.
A custom shape allow this kind of shape. However because it is a primitive,
it is easier to edit and it support thermal reliefs.
The standard DIM() macro was not typesafe as it happily deferred errors
to runtime that can be caught at compile time. Replacing it with a
generic C++11 constexpr allows for typecasting, comparison and compile
time error checking.
Be more intelligent about sorting lib tree items. (Footprint
entries, for instance, come out of an already-sorted list.)
Don't recreate menus twice when laoding Footprint Editor.
More pervasive use of WX_FILENAME to avoid expensive calls to
wxFileName::SplitPath() and string concatenation.
For POSIX kernels do all the work on the file-system side so we
don't have to keep converting back and forth between encodings.
Cache the footprint info on disk (in the project).
Move timestamp-generation (and checking) to the filesystem so the
above will be bullet-proof.
Rewrite some wxWidgets classes for performance (see common.h).
This removes the existing constructors so that all parsing must
be explicit and callers are made aware that they need to think
about illegal characters, malformed ids, etc.

... and GetMsgPanelInfo.
Step 4 in the g_UserUnit eradication effort.
Also removes a couple of conversion routines that were close
enough to extinction.
(cherry picked from commit c75da51)
When saving a library, check and report on libraries that do not exist
as well as those that exist but are read-only.

The roundrect_rratio token was missing a leading space which made the
file formatting different from all other formatting when using rounded
rectangle pads.
Fixes lp:1768355
https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1768355
If a polygon has fewer than 3 points, it is invalid. We need to
register this as failure, otherwise we save the formatting/closing
s-expr for the polygon without the actual polygon points. This breaks
the footprint and board.
Don't re-save all files in a library when editing a single footprint.
This creates issues with formatting in version control systems where
unmodified files are re-written without being explicitly changed by the
user.
Fixes: lp:1752991
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1752991
We do not modify the underlying board when saving. Previously only the
visible layers were saved. This created a discrepancy between the board
that the user was editing and the board that was saved to disk.

It's too expensive to fetch the timestamps when the github
server is busy. See Dick Hollenbeck's comments at the top of
github_plugin.cpp for more info.
Also adds some safety to the other caching algorithms after
seeing github_plugin's wild-west usage of the kicad_plugin.
Fixes: lp:1753143
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1753143
Too many external applications fail to touch the parent directory.
Also removes FP_CACHE_ITEM lastMod times and dirty flags as we've
always loaded libraries atomically anyway.
Claws back some of the performance lost by being more efficient
with cache management for sequential calls to Enumerate and then
Load.
Fixes: lp:1750936
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1750936
Smartens the cache freshness checking, and adds checksums of
constituent-directory last-mod-dates to the footprint info
list.
Also inserts the dataPtrs into the list at the same time as
the text to keep wxWidgets from measuring the width of the
text twice (yes, really). And converts the list to default-
column widths in case the wxWidgets patch is present to
greatly speed list creation (by not measuring all that text).
On my machine drops the first-load time from 4s to 2.5s and
the subsequent-load times from 2.5s to < 1s. With the
wxWidgets patch subsequent-loads become near-instantaneous.
Check the footprint library path modification against the last load
time and reload the cache if the path modification time has changed
when a new file is added to the footprint library path.

Rename GetPolyPoint() to BuildPolyPointsList(), because GetPolyPoint() looks like an accessor, but it is not an accessor.
(Using it as accessor can creates a *very long calculation time* for very basic access to polygon vertices)

- Reverts behaviour of 3e71ed2421
- 3D model offset now explicitly written in mm, using "offset" tag
- Any read "at" tag is converted from inches to mm
- This will not break any 3D model offset when reading files
- It will however render files incompatible with old versions
- renamed connectivity.[h|cpp] to connectivity_data [.h|.cpp] so that the file name matches the main class name.
- GetNetItems() now returns a vector instead of a list
Make all trace environment variable strings upper case and prefix with
KICAD_TRACE_ for consistency.
Add Doxygen group for the trace environment variable strings.
