soldermask. Nevertheless, it would be nice to have proper gerbers to
begin with, i.e., gerbers with no silkscreen in soldermaskless areas.
Of course, most of the problem can be taken care of by drawing the
footprints properly. However, sometimes the silkscreen of one
footprint ends up on the pads of another one (think components under a
so-dimm card, for example). The attached patch adds an option to
subtract the soldermask from the silkscreen when doing gerber output.

* Changed wxPenStyle which is not define in wxWidgets 2.8 to int and
renamed GRRect to prevent duplicate function definition in gr_basic.
* Add missing wxT() macros to strings in rs274x.cpp.
* Use C++ map in component library instead of boost::ptr_vector.
* Drop Boost pointer containers for standard C++ containers.
* Moved duplicate name user interface elements from library object to
library editor.
* Added code to support direct addition and replacement of component
alias objects into libraries.
* Removed temporary strings used to add and remove alias objects.
* Libraries only store alias objects, components now accessed thru alias.
* Simplify library API for adding, removing, and replacing components.
* Updated edit component in library dialog and library editor to reflect
component library object changes.
* Fixed bug in library viewer when displaying alias name.
* Made a few header files compile stand alone per the new coding policy.
* Remove some dead code and the usual code formatting fixes.
Added hotkeys editor from David Turner, with a lot of enhancements and fixes
Added pins connections info in intermediate netlist for each compoment. This is redundant, but some netlist formats (ORCADPCB, PSPICE) are very easy to create with this redundant info.
Revise TokenList2DsnLexer.cmake to take outCppFile and outHeaderFile optinally
and enum mandatorily. Standardize the script's invocation technique within
all the CMakeLists.txt files.
inches and mm, the industry is crazy enough to force us with mixed
design. For example I routinely use imperial units for track size and
clearance, but drilling is strictly a metric issue...
So I added a little parser to recognize a suffix specification in the
unit text boxes... so you can put in things like:
1in (1 inch)
1" (idem)
25th (25 thou)
25mi (25 mils, the same)
6mm (6 mm, obviously)
The rules are: spaces between the number and the unit are accepted, only
the first two letters are significant.
As a bonus, it also recognize the period (.) as a decimal point
substituting it with the correct locale character (there was a wishlist
for it, IIRC). Most useful for number pad fans :D
* Fix a minor problem with wxFileDialog to open a file that no longer
exists in PCBNew.
* Make GerbView open file behavior the same as PCBNew.
* Remove redundant PCB file wild card definition.
* Add open file refactor task to the todo list.
* Fix some minor code formatting issues.
* Add CMake script to generate DSN token header and source file from
token list file.
* Add preliminary component library DSN token list and lexer file to
test script and prepare for new component library file lexer.
* EESchema: right click on ERC check mark displays error in message panel.
* Remove PCBNew header file dependency from common DSN lexer source.
* Minor code clean ups.
Pcbnew: Fixed an issue in GERBER file creation, under Vista and W7 only for non administrator users
Plot files were 0 byte length.
This was due to use of function tmpfile() in a GERBER function to create a temporary file that seems not working using mingw.
Replaced by more usual files functions.
* Some bugs fixed
* Starting enhancements in Libedit: menubar and commands to "plot" current component in PNG or SVF file (SVG file not fully working, must be refined)
* Replaced find dialog with wxFormBuilder version.
* New find dialog is modeless, supports more advanced search features,
remembers it's last position, size, search history, and search settings,
and implements initial support for replacing.
* Added Shift+F5 hot key to search for next DRC marker. F5 now just
repeats previous search.
* Minor cosmetic enhancements to label edit dialog.
* Remove tab from grid size text printf to fix toolbar grid combobox
display in wxGTK.
* Updated my TODO list items.
* DSNLEXER now owns an abstract LINE_READER by pointer so that polymorphism
can be used in alternative LINE_READERS.
* Write FILE_LINE_READER and STRING_LINE_READER. The latter can be used
to parse text coming from the clipboard or other string source.
This paves the way for other kinds of LINE_READERs, such as one which reads from a
multiline string which comes from the clipboard.
Will still need to:
1) add new additional DSN_LEXER constructor,
2) virtualize the LINE_READER's ReadLine() function
3) create derived class from LINE_READER.
* Make USE_WX_ZOOM clipping routine actually clip rather than just test
if line needs drawn.
* Clean up as many USE_WX_ZOOM #ifdefs as possible.
* Minor coordinate rounding improvements.
* Minor scrolling and panning improvements.
* Remove unused KicadGraphicContext object code.
1) nested quotes. This is in anticipation of broader usage of the
file type/syntax. A string like this in the file:
"my ""favorate"" string"
can be returned as
my "favorite" string
2) CommentsAsTokens is implemented, so you can ask the lexer to return
comments as tokens, so they can be preserved. The default is to ignore
them. A comment is defined as any line that has # as its first
non-blank character. (This means comments cannot follow anything else
on a line.)
* Changed line clipping function in gr_basic.cpp when USE_WX_ZOOM is
enabled.
* Set wxDC clipping region to client size when drawing outside of paint
event handler.
* Updated kicad and eeschema CMake files as the common library now
requires linking to the polygon library.
* Fixed clipping bug when USE_WX_ZOOM is enabled that causes rats nest
to be drawn incorrectly.
* Fix ambiguous function error in trigo.cpp when building with MSVS.
* Add instructions for building wxWidgets with graphics context
enabled (GDI+) using MinGW/MSYS to COMPILING.txt.
* Initial EESchema find dialog work.
* Set modified flag when using PCBNew global deletion dialog to prevent
closing without warning user of changes.
* Implement code to allow wxDC to handle coordinate conversions between
device and drawing units.
* Add build settings to enable wxGCDC for wxGraphicsContext testing.
* Remove wxAUI conditional build cruft as it is now required to build
Kicad.
* Fix scroll increment size regression to prevent jumping around the
zoom center position.
* Add find GDI+ cmake module for building on WXMSW when wxGraphicsContext
is enabled.
* Remove redundant background redrawing RedrawActiveWindow.
* Remove redundant managed cursor callback in RedrawActiveWindow.
* Use refresh to redraw instead of directly calling RedrawActiveWindow.
* Remove unused SetDrawBgColor for drawframe.cpp.
* Fix compiler warning in cvpcb/cvframe.cpp.
* Fix menu spelling and syntax errors in pcbnew.
* Rename Trace_Curseur to DrawCursor in common/drawpanel.cpp.
constructor takes a keyword table, so it can be used for arbitrary DSN
syntax files of your own chosing. Simply create an enum {} with all your
unique tokens in it. Then create a KEYWORD table. See SPECCTRA_DB::keywords[].
The reason you want an enum is to give the C++ debugger better type information
so it can show symbolic integer symbols.
* Factored out common richio.cpp and richio.h
which is what DSNLEXER uses.
* Fixed some minor issues with reading circuit descriptor from a *.dsn file.
* Moved ReturnLayerName() to static BOARD::GetDefaultLayerName() and migrated
to a Specctra DSN compatible default layer naming scheme:
Component becomes Front, Copper becomes Back.
* set_color.h: Cmp becomes Front, Cu becomes Back.
* D_PAD::DisplayInfo() changed to use actual copper layer names.
* more layer setup dialog work, moved all programmatic wxControl instantiation
into the wxFormbuilder environment, but this is fraught with danger:
wxFlexGridSizer used the tallest control to establish the row heights, so
be careful about changing control borders in the scroll panel. The vertical
size can explode since just a couple of pixels times the number of rows
is substantial. Currently I am setting a 5 pixel border only left, top, and right
but not bottom.
* Set copper layer count is back in place as a hack until I can get the enabled
layer bit map fully operational.
* Replaced library pin properties dialog with wxFormBuilder version.
* Remove DialogBlocks version of pin properties dialog.
* Add pin properties dialog support code to pin object.
* Create single event handler for displaying pin properties dialog.
* Remove left over DialogBlocks project file for annotate dialog.
* Fixed escape key bug in library editor new component dialog.
* Add GetUnitsLabel() to get human readable units for dialog labels.
* Translate French comments in all modified files.
* Some minor clean up of Doxygen comments.
* Replace all known instances of (const wxChar*) casts to GetChars() for
wxWidgets 2.9 compatibility.
* Cleaned up get component dialog so last part gets saved on wild card
selections.
* Remove redundant schematic component drawing code.
* Added SCH_COMPONENT constructor to create new component from library
component object.
* Add message panel helpers to WinEDA_DrawFrame and update old message
panel access code.
* Using library viewer to add component to schematic now respects unit
and body style selection.
* Create single event handler for grid size events.
* Fix all frame windows to use new grid size event handler.
* Use offset relative to ID instead of ComboBox index to save last grid size.
* Move last grid size load/save setting into WinEDA_DrawFrame.
* Add equality and assignment operators the GRID_TYPE.
* Add current grid helper methods to BASE_SCREEN.
* Add GetPins helper to LIB_COMPONENT to replace GetNextPin where applicable.
* Add AppendMsgPanel helper to WinEDA_DrawFrame.
* Improve rounding for display of coordinates when millimeter units are selected.
* Component library objects renamed for improved readability.
* Fields now move when selected in library editor.
* Add copy constructor to all library draw and library component objects.
* Added copy constructor to EDA_BaseStruct.
* Delete base screen in WinEDA_DrawFrame destructor to prevent potential memory leak.
* Fixed memory access bug when replacing and adding a component to library.
* Moved library component block manipulation code into component object.
* Removed all of the global variables used by the library editor main window object.
* The usual code cleaning and refactoring.
* Split out application specific command IDs to prevent unnecessary rebuilding.
* Eliminate duplicate menu and tool bar command IDs.
* Split component library editor and viewer definitions to separate header files.
* More component library and document file merge code.
* A bunch of minor string readability and consistency fixes.
* Create static component library methods to manage library list.
* Rename component library, component, and alias objects to more readable name.
* Use pointer to component instead of root name to prevent redundant library searches.
* Add append message helper to message panel that calculates string length.
* Initial ground work for merging library and library document files.
* Improved component library file load error checking.
* Minor component library editor improvements.
