pass into an HTML rendering panel and otherwise look goofey.
*) Implement BOARD::Move() can call it from EAGLE_PLUGIN::Load().
*) When USE_FP_LIB_TABLE, tolerate blank nicknames in FPIDs coming from eeschema.
See the switch for this in pcbnew/netlist.cpp as ALLOW_PARTIAL_FPID.
*) Add an assert and a try catch block to figure out that View does not
like some eagle pcb board. bitset::set() is getting a -1 value and firing
an exception.
* Add code to CvPcb to handle assigning component footprints from the
footprint library table instead of the search path method.
* Add code to CvPcb to allow editing of the footprint library table.
* CvPcb footprint and component panes display fully qualified FPID names.
* Make CvPcb library pane display footprint library table nicknames instead
of library file names.
* Add code to FP_LIB_TABLE object to test the paths in the table against the
list of libraries loaded from the project file.
* Add code to FP_LIB_TABLE to convert assigned footprints in a NETLIST from
legacy format to footprint library table format.
* Split out COMPONENT_NET, COMPONENT, and NETLIST objects from netlist_reader
files and create new pcb_netlist files.
* Fix minor wxListView scroll bar sizing issues.
* Add new token and code to save and load FPID nickname in board file.
* Add new token and code to save and load FPID nickname in s-expression net
list file.
* Add WX_STRING_REPORT object to dump strings to a wxString object.
* Use FPID instead of wxString in MODULE object.
* Use FPID instead of wxString when loading and saving files.
* Use FPID in COMPONENT object.
* Add wxString helper functions and comparison operators to FPID.
* Add fp_lib token to pcb and netlist file formats.
* Add code to load and save FPIDs to pcb file format.
* Fix segfault when deleting invalid footprint library tables in Pcbnew
in non footprint library table build.
* Fix bug when counting the number of mod files in
EDA_APP::SetFootprintLibTablePath();
When a non existent footprint is used by many components, this footprint was previoulsy searched in libs for each component, which is very time consumming.
Netlist dialog: add option to report only most important messages. Useful for large boards.
class REPORTER: add features to allow a basic message filtering (flags to report all/warning/error messages)
Fix Bug #1214599 ( tools are deselected on Move command )
* Add footprint library table loading to footprint editor.
* Overload FOOTPRINT_INFO::ReadFootprintFiles() to read footprints from the
footprint library tables.
* Fix a bug in FP_LIB_TABLE::IsEmpty() when the table has a fallback table.
* Add code to FOOTPRINT_EDIT_FRAME to use footprint library tables.
* Add an optional build time version of PCB_EDIT_FRAME::loadFootprints() to
populate netlist footprints from footprint library table.
* Remove adding footprints to board whenever GetModuleLibrary() is called and
move loading locally as required.
* Add missing source file license comments and coding policy fixes.
* Fixed a bug in PCB_EDIT_FRAME::loadFootprints when no footprint libraries
are found when attempting to load footprints.
* Add a warning to PCB_EDIT_FRAME::loadFootprints to inform the user when
a footprint library file cannot be found in any of the standard library
search paths.
* Changed FOOTPRINT_INFO::m_padCount to unsigned to prevent signed/unsigned
comparison compiler warnings.
* Put NestedSpace() function in netlist_reader.cpp inside conditional debug
build statement to prevent warning in release builds.
* Fix both legacy and s-expression netlist readers when footprints are
assigned in the netlist.
* Add some helper functions to NETLIST for detecting when footprints are set
or not set and when they have been changed while loading the .cmp file.
* Rename a few functions to improve their readability.
* Tweak the NETLIST_READER code to allow for component footprint names that
are not found in any library to generate a warning instead of an error and
update the board accordingly.
* Don't display undo warning in netlist dialog when dry run option selected.
* Rename netlist_reader_common.cpp to netlist_reader.cpp
* Rename netlist_reader_firstformat.cpp to legacy_netlist_reader.cpp
* Rename netlist_reader_kicad.cpp to kicad_netlist_reader.cpp
* Remove cvpcb/read_write_cmpfile.cpp and move the single function it
contained into cvframe.cpp

class_DisplayFootprintsFrame.cpp.
* Remove cvpcb/readschematicnetlist.cpp and move the single function it
contained into cvframe.cpp.

the appropriate source file.
* Create separate NETLIST object to hold contents of netlist files.
* Read entire netlist and footprint link files before making applying
changes to board.
* Add BOARD::ReplaceNetlist() function to eliminate the calls between the
NETLIST_READER, PCB_EDIT_FRAME, and BOARD objects.
* Change placement of new components below the center of the current board
or in the center of the page if the BOARD is empty.
* Add dry run option to netlist dialog to print changes to message control
without making changes.
* Add button to netlist dialog to allow saving contents of message control
to a file.
* Eliminate the need to compile netlist_reader_*.cpp in both CvPcb and Pcbnew.
* Add netlist_reader_*.cpp to the pcbcommon library.
* Remove redundant load component link file code from CvPcb.
* Modify CvPcb new to work with the new NETLIST_READER object.
* Add compare() function and < and == operators to FPID object.
* Add REPORTER class to hide an underlying string writing implementation for
use in low level objects. Thank you Dick for the idea.
* Lots of minor coding policy, Doxygen comment, and missing license fixes.
* Encapsulate most of the MODULE class.
* Start encapsulating the DIMENSION class.
* Lay some groundwork for EDA_TEXT encapsulation.
* Move cleverly hidden MODULE functions into class_module.cpp.
* Use std::swap to exchange TEXTE_PCB values for undo/redo.
* Remove unused members from MODULE class.
* The usual coding policy and documentation fixes.
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.
Design rules: increase number of vias and tracks sizes
Pcbnew: netlist reader: change from my recent commits to keep netnames in pads for footprints not in netlist
(allow an user to place some footprints by hand, set pads netnames and do not lost these netnames when loading a netlsit)
Fix other very minor issues.
* Eeschema can generate this netlist format.
* Pcbnew can use (automatic identification) the current format or the new format.
* Cvpcb does not use yet the new format.
* Remove unnecessary copy constructors from board and module library
objects.
* Add doClone() method to board and library objects.
* Add comment to class definitions where the default copy constructor
generated by the compiler was adequate.
* Replace copy method with clone method where applicable.
* Remove DuplicateStruct() function.
* Remove track object copy function.
In common.cpp GetTimeStamp is renamed GetNewTimeStamp (a better name).
Pcbnew: prepare work to calculate connections between pads that inteserct and therefore can be connected without any track (composite pads).
* 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()
* Correct all user strings and comments for the correct capitalization of
application names according to JP. They are KiCad, Pcbnew, CvPcb,
Eeschema, and GerbView.
* Add a note the the user interface policy about the correct capitalization.
* 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.
* Fix debug build warning (lp:793373).
* Changed sheet edit restore and undo to use object copy and replace method.
* Add minimum width and height constraints when resizing sheets that have
hierarchical pins.
* Fix drag sheet hot key bug.
* Change Doxygen configuration to extract private methods and members
when creating documentation.
* Fix a bunch of Doxygen comment warnings.
* Remove most (not all) variables that were initialized but never used that
cause GCC 4.6 to generate a warning.
* Fix bug in schematic library editor best zoom calculation.
Pcbnew: refresh issue with dialog designe rules under wxWidgets 2.9.2 under WINDOWS (replace wxChoiceBox by wxComboBox, should not change anything for users)
Eeschema: some issues in libedit (when editing a pin )
(WxWidgets 2.9.1 seems call setlocale( LC_NUMERIC, "" ) when wxConfig read doubles stored in config, but forget to back to current locale.)
Note: perhaps there are some dialogs that need this call to SetLocaleTo_Default() ).
* Minor code cleanup in pcbnew/netlist.cpp
