* Split and rewrite the preview window and canvas.
* Create a new class for handling the board information.
* Adds new render targets: openGL, legacy, and ray tracing.
* Render targets take full advantage of the new 3D plugins system and 3D cache
for a fast 3D model loading.
* Faster board loading.
* New OpenGL render is faster than the old one.
* New ray tracing render target with a post processing shader.
* Use of new 3D plugins (WRL, X3D, STEP and IGES) and 3D model caching.
* Preview of 3D model while browsing the file name.
* 3D preview of the footprint while adding / align 3D shapes.
* Render of 3D models according to attributes: Normal, Normal+Insert, Virtual.
* Pivot rotation centered in one point over the PCB board.
* Shortcuts keys improved for XYZ orientation..
* Animated camera.
It is especially true in some Window Managers like KDE, but can be true in any WM, when initializations are made by TransferDataToWindow() method, called by the default wxInitDialogEvent handler.
* The exchange dialog can be now called from the footprint popup menu.
* It can be (as before) called from the footprint properties menu, but in this case, the footprint properties menu is closed before calling the exchange menu.
* Changes in exchange dialog to avoid truncation of long FPIDs
* Changes in exchange dialog to make some texts translatable (Previously, the same English sentence was used in very different contexts)
3dviewer: back to double (from float) in class S3D_MASTER for 3 members (m_MatScale, m_MatRotation, m_MatPosition) which are used in dialogs and r/w file functions, which expect double.
Using float create minor but unwanted issues in r/w file functions.
S3D_MATERIAL: enable all color options: if a 3d shape has bad color parameters, the shape must be modified, not the 3d rendering.
The rendering now matches what we see in other vrml viewer like FreeCAD.
Some minor coding style fixes.
All: press ctrl+shift key when moving the mouse allows the graphic cursor to be moved outside the grid.
(useful to place graphic objects, texts in any position, regardless the current grid)
* 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.
