Now only reposition a window if it is completely on a
disconnected display or if only one corner is on screen
and it is within a region close to the screen border.
CHANGED: Window position on startup should be preserved more
Please note that the symbol cache is not embedded in the schematic file
to allow for round robin testing with the existing file format. Once
the parser round robin testing is complete, the symbol cache will be
embedded in the schematic file.
Keeping a pointer to the actual file history inside a special
file history menu led to many cases of use after free crashes,
so instead rework the actual file history to add the menu
items.

CHANGED: Settings are now stored in versioned sub-directories
ADDED: First-run dialog for migrating settings from a previous version
CHANGED: Settings are now stored as JSON files instead of wxConfig-style INI files
CHANGED: Color settings are now all stored in a separate settings file
CHANGED: The symbol editor and footprint editor now have their own settings files
CHANGED: Color settings are no longer exposed through BOARD object
CHANGED: Page layout editor now uses Eeschema's color scheme
Settings are now managed through a central SETTINGS_MANAGER held by PGM_BASE.
Existing settings will be migrated from the wxConfig format on first run of each application.
Per-application settings are now stored in one class for each application.
If the point editor is active and a change is made, the tool was shut down after
deleting the board data, in the frame Dtor.
Therefore a crash happened because a call to GetScreen()->SetModify(); using a null pointer,
and after the test for modifications was done.
Now tools are stopped when closing the window, before any test for modifications.
This moves EESchema DLIST structures to rtree. These changes are more
fundamental than the pcbnew changes from 9163ac543888c01d11d1877d7c1
and 961b22d60 as eeschema operations were more dependent on passing
drawing list references around with SCH_ITEM* objects.
and switch to the paren sheet from the context menu.
Mainly, change the way the dialog is managed from the sch_edit_frame:
the pointer to find the created dialog is replaced by a call to wxWidows::FindWindowByName().
Using a pointer set and cleared by events is a recipe for crashes.
ADD: User can now decide to keep the hierarchy navigator open while working
on a schematic.
This behavior can be configured in eeschema->preferences->eeschema->Editing options.
Create an IsContentModified() function in each frame
that provides if the content has been modified, and
use that instead of always copying the checks.
ADDED: a config option to select (when clicking on a pin) the parent symbol
or only the pin.
Previously, when cliking on a pin, the parent symbol was selected.
Allowing the pin selection is mandatory in cross probing, and to display the pin
characteristics in some cases, for instance if a pin is flagged by the ERC tooL.
Add missing check for root sheet when searching sheet hierarchies for
already loaded schematics. This prevents the root sheet from being
omitted when adding new sheets using the root sheet file name.
CHANGED: Make file name tests case sensitive so that schematic sheet
file names on non-Windows systems can be uses as expected.
Warn users when attempting to use schematic file names that only vary
by case sensitivity that doing so will result in a project that is not
portable to Windows.

CHANGED: No longer call schematics noname.sch in standalone mode,
instead don't given them any name so the user can choose on save.

We have different requirements than sheet paths for netlists,
so going through that code and then doing a lot of conversions
just ends up with a mess.
We now generate the path directly from the SCH_SHEET_PATH.

The new connectivity algorithm had a tendency to cleanup
globally, but that could insert undo records from other sheets
into the current screen's undo stack. Needless to say, this
was a recipie for segfaults.

While it's tempting to look at the changed flag that TestDanglingEnds
returns, it's insuficient as the connectivity algorithm might have
already updated it (and ignored the changed flag).

Check for symbol libraries that somehow ended up in the project file
after remapping occurred and remove all of them to prevent potentially
broken symbol library links.
Add nagware dialog to warn the user and a checkbox to never show the
dialog again.

Also rewrites the PCBNew Find dialog to make use of the above, including:
1) searching in user-defined footprint fields
2) searching in pcb text
3) a history list in the search popup
4) case sensitive searching
5) word sensitive searching
6) the ability to turn wildcard searching on/off
7) better placement of the result when the dialog obscures part of the
window

Previously, for instance after modifying preferences or language,
they were rebuilt but the tools state was not set due to a missing call to SyncToolbars() after rebuilding.
In singletop mode, all frames show the "Quit" option in the file menu
and will quit on Ctrl-Q. When launched from the main KiCad interface,
sub-programs show the "Close" option instead and will close with Ctrl-W.
In this mode, Ctrl-Q will instruct the main program to exit.

EEschema optimizes wires by merging colinear segments. If a schematic opened without a valid
cache library or missing installed libraries and later saved, this optimization can cause connectivity
errors. In order to fix that we check each pin-wire connection and junctions if necessary.
Netlists do not accept any char in netnames (especially spice).
They must use only "/" as root sheet path name.
Especially _( "<root sheet>" ) breaks netlists because:
- there is a space in name, and special chars (< and >)
- it is a translatable name. so the actual name cannot be managed.
- most of netlist code in Kicad expects a "/" as root path.
