It can be used instead of the slot (G85) command to create oval holes.
Do not yet activate it.
Oval holes frequently create issues with board houses.
Using a more usual routing (G01) command could solve some issues.
When editing the pcb, Ctrl-Click will highlight a net. This allows
de-highlight with the ESC/cancel action from the selection tool. Inside
the highlight tool, ESC reverts to the selection tool while keeping the
net highlighted.

Clang++ seems to be in left-field here as it processes a stringstream
1.0X1.0 >> double as a hexadecimal floating point ('X' character) and
throws an error rather than converting 1.0 and stopping when it reaches
a non-numeric character. This causes errors when exporting step on Mac,
which uses clang++ by default.
Adding spaces to the string is more explicit and doesn't break gcc. It
will be sufficient until we get rid of kicad2step as an external
utility.

(cherry picked from commit e7a9643b37)
The lock file code would reset the lock file every other time the same
board file was opened in Pcbnew in the stand alone mode. This created
the perfect toggle switch causing the board to be reloaded every other
time the same board was selected.
Please note that wxSingleInstanceChecker is broken on Linux and most
likely MacOS as well due to a bug in wxWidgets. On these platforms,
the already opened file is reopened rather than displaying a warning
that the file is already opened.

This is a boyscouting commit to standardize the threading of zone fills.
We do not need to join threads after their completion, instead we simply
allow them to clean up their memory without blocking the user. This
also sets the maximum number of threads that may be created to the
number of zones being filled. More than this will only leave un-used
threads being created and immediately killed.
We also include the connectivity search as a phase in the fill progress
reporter. This was the case before but did not utilize the correct
maxsize, leading to stalled progress bar.
This commit finishes the removal of OpenMP from the KiCad codebase.
Removed in this commit are the OpenMP calls in 3d-viewer and
qa/polygon_triangulation as well as all references in CMakeLists.txt
std::thread is used instead for multithreaded computation
OpenMP is not available for macos, so moving to a std::threads
implementation brings platforms into shared code.
This also reduces the OpenMP overhead when computing connectivity and
ratsnests.

The CMake scripts calculate the install path for python scripts by
distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib(
plat_specific=0,
standard_lib=0,
prefix=''
)
which generates a string in line with
lib/python2.7/site-packages
This string ends up in the CMake variable PYTHON_DEST and is used by the
install step as destination directory for pcbnew.py.
There has been a hard-coded assumption on the content of that string in
PcbNew which is not compatible with FreeBSD 11.1.
This commit eliminates the hard-coded assumption in PcbNew and reuses
the install path as known by CMake.

Repeating find with the same search string would result in a not found
error for absolute search strings. Don't clear the found item if the
search string did not change from the previous search..
Fix another minor bug where the do not warp mouse pointer option was
always checked when the find dialog was called from one of the gal
canvases.

We like to allow items that are marked SELECTED to remain so during
editing but this does not indicate that there are multiple edits queued,
so do not prevent pushing this into the undo queue.
When designing pads, it can be helpful to not only see the resulting
rounded rectangle radius from a given percentage but also to set it,
constraining the related percentage. This adjusts the dialog to allow
editing the rounded rectangle corner radius. It does not change the
file format as the resulting ratio is saved. Further updates of the pad
size or ratio will modify the radius.

Zones can be explicitly merged even if they do not have the same
parameters. Automatic merging should only occur when all of the zone
parameters are exactly identical to allow for area-specific zone
parameters.

We had been deselecting items after calling edits to be safe in case the
item was deleted/exchanged by the edit. The item pointer itself remains
valid even when deleting as it is assigned to the undo stack. But it
should not remain visible or selected on the schematic if it is removed.
This tests for removed items by checking whether it (in the case of
first-level BOARD_ITEMS) or its parent (in the case of footprint item
components) remain in the view list after editing. If they are still in
the view list, then we re-select them.

Snapping while dragging depends on the current net being assigned during
dragging. This initializes the placer to hold the current net while
performing inline dragging. The placer is reset along with the dragger
in StopRouting(). This fixes the difference in snap between drag and
create new route.

When constraining moves, the cursor snaps to grid but does not
represent the position of the final edited point. The point is rotated
to the nearest snap angle, while the vector length remains unchanged
resulting in a line longer than intended and off-grid.
This adds a grid-snap after the constraint is applied.
