Full support for using a 3Dconnexion device in the 3D viewer has been added. Full 3D navigation is available for both the orthographic and perspective projections. Commands are exported and can be assigned to 3D mouse buttons. Any limitations to the functionality are limitations of the installed 3Dconnexion driver for the device and OS.
ADDED: A build option KICAD_USE_3DCONNEXION (default = ON) has been added to the main CMakeLists.txt. The option controls whether the SpaceMouse support is compiled into the solution.
Also fixes a bug where outline fonts weren't being handled for footprint
text in 3D Viewer, and a copy/paste error in stroke font handling for
both PCB and footprint text in 3D Viewer.

On wx3.0, the HTML format #RRGGBBAA cannot handle the alpha channel.
Instead, we route this through a COLOR4D routine when we need to use
these colors

Unused variables in function calls can be commented out. Unused
return variables get a new routine `ignore_unused()` that silences the
warnings with zero overhead.
- Add missing Yellow (.gbrjob predefined color) in list
- silkscreen colors: add .gbrjob predefined colors in list
- Use a default body color (FR4) for dielectric material not in known list
They don't define a KiCad string class, so the header file name was
somewhat misleading. But the fact that they didn't match definitely
made coding more difficult.
Transforming solid areas to polygons can be time-intensive for some
boards. This threads the transformation to all simultaneous builds in
different layers
Building the 3D data is time consuming, so creating the data after the 3D
frame is shown is better, and the build activity is visible, especially on Linux.
Hide transition by ending layer copper withing the annulus of the cylinder. Also always use hole wall thickness and set more realistic solder mask thickness
After commit 9535153f9e there were no more IDs inside the legacy ID
system. Therefore the entire system for dispatching and looking up
the legacy ideas and handling those events can now be removed and
the tool dispatcher simplified (it no longer needs to know about
the ACTIONS class).
You had to set the line width in the SVG export dialog in order to
change the displayed line width in the 3d viewer. The line width did
not affect the SVG export. Removing in favor of the Board design
settings for line widths
Also a rationalization of text polygon generators, with the "standard"
version inherited from BOARD_ITEM now giving the bounding box. This
requires callers who want the (much) more expensive stroke-based one
to call it explicitly (and brings PCB_TEXT in line with the was FP_TEXT
already was.

It shows much more detail. Removes some nag dialogs and places
hypertext links in others.
Also fixes the auto-layer-showing to correctly show Edge.Cuts or
F.CrtYd or B.CrtYd for errors relating to them.

wxWidgets 3.1.5+ on Linux will compile with the Wayland EGL
canvas as the backend instead of the X11 backend. This requires a
version of GLEW compiled with the proper EGL defines and a different
header/code for certain parts that are X11 GLEW specific.
This introduces an in-tree version of GLEW that will be built with the
GLEW_EGL flag then statically linked into the KiCad executables when
EGL support is needed.
- Check that we aren't already painting (return if we are)
- Check that GLEW functions exist before calling them in 3D canvas and throw exception if they are no longer available
- Catch above exceptions in paint routine and show an infobar message to the user

This is a board file format change to account for the new properties.
Also, we now only store the critical information about the dimension's
geometry in the board, rather than storing every drawn line.
The DIMENSION object is now an abstract base, and ALIGNED_DIMENSION
is the implementation that exists today (we will add more dimension
types in the future)
1) For a while now we've been using a calculated seg count from a given
maxError, and a correction factor to push the radius out so that all
the error is outside the arc/circle. However, the second calculation
(which pre-dates the first) is pretty much just the inverse of the first
(and yields nothing more than maxError back). This is particularly
sub-optimal given the cost of trig functions.
2) There are a lot of old optimizations to reduce segcounts in certain
situations, someting that our error-based calculation compensates for
anyway. (Smaller radii need fewer segments to meet the maxError
condition.) But perhaps more importantly we now surface maxError in the
UI and we don't really want to call it "Max deviation except when it's
not".
3) We were also clamping the segCount twice: once in the calculation
routine and once in most of it's callers. Furthermore, the caller
clamping was inconsistent (both in being done and in the clamping
value). We now clamp only in the calculation routine.
4) There's no reason to use the correction factors in the 3Dviewer;
it's just a visualization and whether the polygonization error is
inside or outside the shape isn't really material.
5) The arc-correction-disabling stuff (used for solder mask layer) was
somewhat fragile in that it depended on the caller to turn it back on
afterwards. It's now only exposed as a RAII object which automatically
cleans up when it goes out of scope.
6) There were also bugs in a couple of the polygonization routines where
we'd accumulate round-off error in adding up the segments and end up with
an overly long last segment (which of course would voilate the error
max). This was the cause of the linked bug and also some issues with vias
that we had fudged in the past with extra clearance.

... instead of modifying the argument.
This will make the method usable in python API and will not incur
permormance penalty because named return value optimization (NRVO)
is a thing since C++11.
But even if copy is not elided vector is moved instead of copied.

The use of printf, wxLogDebug, and std::err/std::out causes excessive
debugging output which makes finding specific debugging messages more
difficult than it needs to be.
There is still some debugging output in test code that really needs to
be moved into a unit test.
Add debugging output section to the coding policy regarding debugging
output.
Remove some hacks related to postprocessing (not need now because the
previous postprocessing improvements, light parametrization could be
used for tune or future parameters could be implemented)
This introduces layer handling to a lot of the geometry routines.
Many of them don't do much with it now, but it does help multi-layer
zones and will help when padstacks are implemented.
