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.
* Do not compile dxf old files.
* import gfx, gal mode: make absolute placement working.
* Import gfx in legacy canvas: use it and make interactive placement working
* Take imported line width in account. Ensure DXF line thickness is OK.
* handling empty files in legacy mode.
Spooling up a full PLAYER in the background takes too long.
This also fixes bugs around how the tables are saved, although
that was just missing code rather than anything architectural.

Allow copy of a single cell demarcated by the grid cursor.
Paste of lib_table s-expressions should always start at 0,0.
Let caller or specialized sub-class do auto-sizing; don’t
do it from within the base GRID_TRICKS.
Don’t start GRID_TRICKS menu IDs at -1; wxWidgets doesn’t
like it when you get to 0.
Add column visibility menu.
(cherry picked from commit e5071ed)
As of v5 footprint library reorganization (one repo per library concept
is replaced with a common repo for all libraries), the Footprint Library
Wizard may handle only the old libraries. It has been replaced with
a file browser to select only local files.
Fixes: lp:1772209
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1772209
Derive LIB_TABLE_ROW from boost::noncopyable for use in boost pointer
containers.
Use std::unique_ptr to manage PROPERTIES pointer.
Add clone support for boost pointer containers.
Split common library table code out from FP_LIB_TABLE into base LIB_TABLE
object. The FP_LIB_TABLE object only contains the code specific to
footprint library tables.
Use boost::vector_ptr for storing library table row objects.
Fix move up and down bugs in footprint library table edit dialog.
These settings are now not common to the board editor, because the footprint editor can be run outside the board editor.
download_boost.cmake: ignore .htm* files when installing boost. They are not used, and often have a very very long (and stupid) name which sometimes creates issues.
- DIALOG_DXF_IMPORT works with PCB_BASE_FRAME instead of PCB_EDIT_FRAME
- imported items are not immediately added to a BOARD
- imported items are held in a list, instead of vector
- imported items are instantly visible in GAL view
- added DIALOG_DXF_IMPORT::GetImportedItems()
- code formatting
2) Change from legacy Cu stack to counting down from top=(F_Cu or 0).
The old Cu stack required knowing the count of Cu layers to make
sense of the layer number when converting to many exported file types.
The new Cu stack is more commonly used, although ours still gives
B_Cu a fixed number.
3) Introduce class LSET and enum LAYER_ID.
4) Change *.kicad_pcb file format version to 4 from 3.
5) Change fixed names Inner1_Cu-Inner14_Cu to In1_Cu-In30_Cu and their
meanings are typically flipped.
6) Moved the #define LAYER_N_* stuff into legacy_plugin.cpp where they
can die a quiet death, and switch to enum LAYER_ID symbols throughout.
7) Removed the LEGACY_PLUGIN::Save() and FootprintSave() functions.
You will need to convert to the format immediately, *.kicad_pcb and
*.kicad_mod (=pretty) since legacy format was never going to know
about 32 Cu layers and additional technical layers and the reversed Cu
stack.
*) Move button handlers to LEFT MOUSE CLICK from COMMAND events, so wxGrid focus is not lost.
*) Sketch out the concept of COW support for the GITHUB_PLUGIN in its @todo.
*) Set environment variable KISYSMOD before loading FP_LIB_TABLE so that
FP_LIB_TABLE::ROW::SetFullURI() can do substitution up front.
*) De-emphasize the lib path in some of the footprint frames but keep it
so the footprint editor can export a current library to another.
You can even export a GITHUB library to a pretty library for local
installation.
*) Start the PLUGIN options editor.
*) Enhance cursor positioning in DIALOG_FP_LIB_TABLE.
