! 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.
* Move all convert from user to internal units into base_units.cpp.
* Remove internal units parameters from all moved conversion functions.
* Revise all source code that calls the moved conversion functions.
* Remove internal units from all dialog text control helper classes.
* Move all convert from internal to user units functions into separate file.
* Remove internal units parameter from all moved conversion functions.
* Revise all source code that calls the moved conversion functions.
* Compile these conversion routines separately for the appropriate pcb or
schematic internal units.
* Move internal units specific status bar update code into the appropriate
application for updating the status bar.
* Move millimeter user units rounding function to common.cpp.
* Removed Pcb_Frame argument from BOARD() constructor, since it precludes
having a BOARD being edited by more than one editor, it was a bad design.
And this meant removing m_PcbFrame from BOARD.
* removed BOARD::SetWindowFrame(), and BOARD::m_PcbFrame
* Removed the global BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS which was in class_board.cpp
* added BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS to the BOARD class, a full instance
* a couple dialogs now only change BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS when OK is pressed,
such as dialog_mask_clearance, dialog_drc, etc.
* Removed common/pcbcommon.cpp's int g_CurrentVersionPCB = 1 and replaced it
with build_version.h's #define BOARD_FILE_VERSION, although there may be a
better place for this constant.
* Made the public functions in PARAM_CFG_ARRAY be type const.
void SaveParam(..) const and void ReadParam(..) const
* PARAM_CFG_BASE now has virtual destructor since we have various way of
destroying the derived class and boost::ptr_vector must be told about this.
* Pass const PARAM_CFG_ARRAY& instead of PARAM_CFG_ARRAY so that we can use
an automatic PARAM_CFG_ARRAY which is on the stack.\
* PCB_EDIT_FRAME::GetProjectFileParameters() may no longer cache the array,
since it has to access the current BOARD and the BOARD can change.
Remember BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS are now in the BOARD.
* Made the m_BoundingBox member private, this was a brutally hard task,
and indicative of the lack of commitment to accessors and object oriented
design on the part of KiCad developers. We must do better.
Added BOARD::GetBoundingBox, SetBoundingBox(), ComputeBoundingBox().
* Added PCB_BASE_FRAME::GetBoardBoundingBox() which calls BOARD::ComputeBoundingBox()
* All header files used to create the PCB common library now compile as
stand alone code. This prevents the need to define them in a specific
order to make source code compile properly. It should also now be
possible to relocate the source code to build the common PCB library
to a separate folder.
* 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.
* Set default button on all dialogs that do not already have a defined
default button. The only exception is the EESchema net list dialog
which needs converted over to wxFormBuilder and due to it's design makes
setting the default button in any tab other than the default tab
problematic.
* Fix escape key dialog handling bug in EESchema print post script
dialog.
* Fix grid select box update bug on context menu.
* Fix via size and track width select box update bugs.
* Fix layer pair indicator button update bug.
* Fix auto track width tool bar control enable bug.
* Fix via size and track width select status bug in context menu.
* Fix layer select box and layer control widget select bug when current
layer is removed.
* Add virtual function to notify objects derived from EDA_DRAW_FRAME that
the units setting has changed.
* Coding policy class naming fixes.
