- Expand tree and highlight object selected with net highlight tool.
- Expand tree and highlight object that are currently highlighted with the
selection tool.
- Use more descriptive object text rather than menu entry text for tree
strings.
- Rebuild tree on unit changes.
[ADDED]: A panel to the schematic editor that allows quick access to all
of the items connected to the currently highlighted net.
This is an initial swag at implementing a full net navigator feature. For
now it only shows the currently highlighted net nodes. The incremental
net list advanced setting must be enabled in order to use this feature due
to performance reasons. There are still some issues with saving the panel
position which will be addressed in the future.
Initial code for serializing wxAuiPaneInfo settings to and from JSON have
be implemented.
SCH_CONNECTION objects are temporary and can become stale any time the
connectivity is updated. Keeping them around to reference later is a
bad idea. Even if the object pointer is still valid in an SCH_ITEM in
the undo/redo buffers, comparing the pointer against another pointer as
a test to see if they are the same connection is not valid. Saving the
connection name is safe and ensures the connection is the same even if
the pointers differ.
A sheetpath is required to correctly resolve text variables.
Depending on currentSheet is rife with bugs.
There are many places where we do *not* want to be prepending
field names to the field values, such as netlisting,
building PDF hypertext menus, etc.
Also, Find/Replace needs to work on unresolved text, as
that's what we're going to display (and if replace nuked
your variable references you wouldn't be happy).
- Ensure that critical paths (ERC/netlister) are fully-rechecked
- Handle symbol/pin distinction in change markers
- Fully connect hierarchical pins in one pass descending
Previously, almost all connectivity updates were full updates, meaning
that the entire connectivity graph would be rebuilt each time a change
was made to the schematic. This update modifies the update to only
correct the subgraphs that are directly affected by the change.
It uses the existing connection graph to find all affected subgraphs as
well as connections to the changes based on the visible schematic.
These elements are removed from the existing connectivity graph and
marked dirty. They then have a new connectivity graph built only around
their changes. The resulting graph is merged into the original.
Currently, this ability is behind an advanced config flag
`IncrementalConnectivity` while testing.

Don't assume the dialog is mode-less and call Destroy() from within a
dialog method. This will most assuredly crash if the dialog is shown
modally or quasi-modally.
Don't leak memory for mode-less dialogs created on the stack. Make sure
when the parent frame window is closed that all mode-less dialog memory
is cleaned up. Dialogs are not child windows like controls and toolbars
so their memory does not automatically get cleaned up when the parent
window is destroyed.
Do not directly access frame parent window's pointer in dialog destructors.
Apparently the tear down order when destroying mode-less dialogs is not
guaranteed so the parent window may get deleted before the dialog causing
a crash when accessing the parent window pointer from the dialog dtor.
Do not close mode-less dialogs in the parent frame's destructor. This
doesn't guarantee that the dialog(s) will be destroyed before the parent
but it may reduce some careless mode-less dialog event handling in the
future.
(We'll fill them back in if we have data.)
Also improves handling when a plot tab is closed.
Also fixes dirtying of the view for op changes.

SCH_EDIT_FRAME::RecalculateConnections() calls SchematicCleanup and then
resets the connectivity graph and recalculates it. OnModify() also
calls RecalculateConnections(). For long calculation schematics, this
can impact usability
The pressure relief valve was not useful for common work patterns as it
forced the recalculation on many common actions such as bus expansion.
This caused it to actually feel slower than with the pressure relief
valve off.
For most schematics, realtime is now fast enough to not need the valve
and for those that are extremely complex, removing the valve helps this
run more predictably
This will make it possible to maintain sheet instance information when
copying and pasting from any sheet other that the root sheet of a
project.
Setting and getting sheet page numbers must now be performed using a
sheet path. This was done to ensure that the instance paths were not
getting changed unexpectedly from different code paths.
