Now the heirarchical sheet selection feature includes tracks that belong
to a net spanning multiple sheets, but only by doing a logical connection
from the pads of the modules. This is to be able to select connections
between components on the same sheet. For example if the sheet contains a
star power connection or something similar, then most of the sheet local
connections will now also be included.
- support for background color setting
- removed several global config settings (such as g_Drc_On)
- wrapped most of global config settings in PCB_GENERAL_SETTINGS class
- reorganized PCB general options dialog to clearly mark which options concern only the legacy canvas
- new GAL feature for legacy users: double-click (or E) to change track width available as an option.

The incorrect method ZONE_CONTAINER::AppendCorner() is also fixed:
It was expecting the corner must be added to the main outline, but this is a false expectation:
it can be added to a hole inside the zone outline.
BOARD::GetBoundingBox() now directly calls BOARD::ComputeBoundingBox()
and there is a new method BOARD::GetBoardEdgesBoundingBox() used for
call sites that needed to use ComputeBoundingBox( true ) in the past.
This allows COMMON_TOOLS to implement ZoomFitScreen without knowledge
of the BOARD class.
eeschema now supports arbitrary colors for all object types, and
pcbnew does in GAL canvas. When switching from GAL to legacy canvas,
pcbnew will convert colors to the nearest legacy color.
Add some consts to "getters" in this class.
Remove const from return type of static return-by-value getter - this
has no effect on the caller except disabling move operations and forcing
copy operations.
fix incorrect calculation when a small segment at the end of the track was inside a pad: it was not taken in account.
Fix also the len die values not always taken in account (references to pads at end of track not always stored)
This is a partial fix of bug 1628585.
*) Extend SWIG support deeper into the BOARD class.
*) Move swig *.i files into a directory identified for SWIG, in preparation
for a parallel universe involving Phoenix's SIP.
*) Move swig files which will be common to both eeschema and pcbnew into
common/swig.
*) Sketch out a "common" python module, and plan on dovetailing that into a
libkicad_shared.{dll,so}
*) Add common/swig/ki_exceptions.i and define a macro HANDLE_EXCEPTIONS()
which is to be applied to any function which needs C++ to python
exception translation.
*) Move the test for SWIG tool into top level CMakeLists.txt file for use
in all python modules beyond pcbnew, i.e. eeschema and common.
*) Add SWIG_MODULE_pcbnew_EXTRA_DEPS which generates a better Makefile, one
which rebuilds the swig generated *.cxx file when one of its dependencies
change.
*) Re-architect the board.i file so that it can be split into multiple *.i
files easily.
*) Make some KIWAY from python progress, in preparation for Modular KiCad
phase III.
* Switched hashtables.h over to std::undordered_map from boost version.
* Added new macros DECL_VEC_FOR_SWIG() and DECL_MAP_FOR_SWIG() in macros.h.
These along with future DECL_HASH_FOR_SWIG() unify the declaration to swig
and C++ so that the resultant type name is common in both languages, and
the types AGREE.
* Fixed swigging of NETINFO_ITEM and NETINFO_LIST via magic.
* Newly exposed (python wrapped) are: D_PADS, TRACKS (was TRACK_PTRS),
NETNAME_MAP, NETCODE_MAP, wxString (without constructor purposely, read
comment in wx.i), MARKERS, ZONE_CONTAINERS, NETCLASSPTR, KICAD_T types.
* std::vector<SOMETHING*> tends to end up named SOMETHINGS in C++ and python.
Having the name consistent between like types is helpful, and between
languages. std::map<> ends up as SOMETHING_MAP.
* NETINFO_LIST::m_netNames and NETINFO_LIST::m_netCodes are now std::map
instead of hashtables, because swig does not yet support std::unordered_map.
* You can now get to any netclass or net info. NETNAMES_MAP and NETCODES_MAP
are traversable basically the same as a python dictionary using a python
string (not wsString) as the key! The wxString typemap converts python
string to wxString before the lookup happens. Iteration also works.
This method is added for scripting purposes, to be able to query
specific board layer names thru a board object.
If no board specific layer name is found, it will fallback to
standard layer names.
Text arrays can now use "%s" as a placeholder to be substituted with the array index.
Also expand menu options for move exact, arrays and duplicate.
Minor fixes for arrays - use proper unit parsing, add numbering start for circular arrays
Add circle radius indicator to array dialogue
