comment for GITHUB_PLUGIN which should flow into Doxygen output.
*) Rewrote:
PCB_BASE_FRAME::Save_Module_In_Library(): now uses fp-lib-table and PROPERTIES.
PCB_EDIT_FRAME::ArchiveModulesOnBoard(): now can archive to any writable library type.
PCB_BASE_FRAME::SelectLibrary(): is now generic for selecting a library, not just the active library.
*) 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.
* 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.
solution to see that it was not pre-computing constants when used in static initializers.
So we have two use cases, and need two solutions to be optimal, since the compiler
is too stupid to do the right thing.
I think we need something else for compile time computable constants, to be optimal
in both use cases. There is quite a bit of code savings by using a macro for that
situation from my testing. To fully capitalize on this, we need to go back and make
Mm2mils() and what not macros also, or have MACRO versions of them too.
This uses the new LEGACY_PLUGIN, so we can force more usage & testing of it
before ioascii.cpp and item_io.cpp are deleted, along with
BOARD_ITEM::Save() and BOARD_ITEM::ReadDescr() associated functions.
* 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()
* 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.
* PCBNew remembers last net list read during the current editing session
as well as between project editing sessions. Closes bug 576902.
* Separate PCBNew application settings from project file settings and
allocate them dynamically instead of statically to make it easier to
eliminate global variables.
* 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.
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.)
* 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.
