2) Change from legacy Cu stack to counting down from top=(F_Cu or 0).
The old Cu stack required knowing the count of Cu layers to make
sense of the layer number when converting to many exported file types.
The new Cu stack is more commonly used, although ours still gives
B_Cu a fixed number.
3) Introduce class LSET and enum LAYER_ID.
4) Change *.kicad_pcb file format version to 4 from 3.
5) Change fixed names Inner1_Cu-Inner14_Cu to In1_Cu-In30_Cu and their
meanings are typically flipped.
6) Moved the #define LAYER_N_* stuff into legacy_plugin.cpp where they
can die a quiet death, and switch to enum LAYER_ID symbols throughout.
7) Removed the LEGACY_PLUGIN::Save() and FootprintSave() functions.
You will need to convert to the format immediately, *.kicad_pcb and
*.kicad_mod (=pretty) since legacy format was never going to know
about 32 Cu layers and additional technical layers and the reversed Cu
stack.
*) Eeschema can now show the footprint editor.
*) Eeschema can now invoke the footprint picker from the library part field editor.
*) KIWAY_PLAYER::ShowModal() takes aResultantFocusWindow that tells what window
to give the focus to. Required since frames are often near the top of the
hierarchy and they are invoked by a peer, not a parent.
*) Rework the set language support, simplify it by using KIWAY. Now any major
frame with a "change language" menu can change the language for all KIWAY_PLAYERs
in the whole KIWAY. Multiple KIWAYs are not supported yet.
*) Simplify "modal wxFrame" support, and add that support exclusively to
KIWAY_PLAYER where it is inherited by all derivatives. The function
KIWAY_PLAYER::ShowModal() is in the vtable and so is cross module capable.
*) Remove the requirements and assumptions that the wxFrame hierarchy always
had PCB_EDIT_FRAME and SCH_EDIT_FRAME as immediate parents of their viewers
and editors. This is no longer the case, nor required.
*) Use KIWAY::Player() everywhere to make KIWAY_PLAYERs, this registers the
KIWAY_PLAYER within the KIWAY and makes it very easy to find an open frame
quickly. It also gives control to the KIWAY as to frame hierarchical
relationships.
*) Change single_top to use the KIWAY for loading a KIFACE and instantiating
the single KIWAY_PLAYER, see bullet immediately above.
*) Add KIWAY::OnKiwayEnd() and call it from PGM_BASE at program termination, this
gives the KIFACEs a chance to save their final configuration dope to disk.
*) Add dedicated FRAME_T's for the modal frames, so m_Ident can be tested and
these modal frames are distinctly different than their non-modal equivalents.
KIWAY_PLAYER::IsModal() is !not! a valid test during the wxFrame's constructor,
so this is another important reason for having a dedicated FRAME_T for each
modal wxFrame.
On balance, more lines were deleted than were added to achieve all this.
! The initial testing of this commit should be done using a Debug build so that
all the wxASSERT()s are enabled. Also, be sure and keep enabled the
USE_KIWAY_DLLs option. The tree won't likely build without it. Turning it
off is senseless anyways. If you want stable code, go back to a prior version,
the one tagged with "stable".
* Relocate all functionality out of the wxApp derivative into more finely
targeted purposes:
a) DLL/DSO specific
b) PROJECT specific
c) EXE or process specific
d) configuration file specific data
e) configuration file manipulations functions.
All of this functionality was blended into an extremely large wxApp derivative
and that was incompatible with the desire to support multiple concurrently
loaded DLL/DSO's ("KIFACE")s and multiple concurrently open projects.
An amazing amount of organization come from simply sorting each bit of
functionality into the proper box.
* Switch to wxConfigBase from wxConfig everywhere except instantiation.
* Add classes KIWAY, KIFACE, KIFACE_I, SEARCH_STACK, PGM_BASE, PGM_KICAD,
PGM_SINGLE_TOP,
* Remove "Return" prefix on many function names.
* Remove obvious comments from CMakeLists.txt files, and from else() and endif()s.
* Fix building boost for use in a DSO on linux.
* Remove some of the assumptions in the CMakeLists.txt files that windows had
to be the host platform when building windows binaries.
* Reduce the number of wxStrings being constructed at program load time via
static construction.
* Pass wxConfigBase* to all SaveSettings() and LoadSettings() functions so that
these functions are useful even when the wxConfigBase comes from another
source, as is the case in the KICAD_MANAGER_FRAME.
* Move the setting of the KIPRJMOD environment variable into class PROJECT,
so that it can be moved into a project variable soon, and out of FP_LIB_TABLE.
* Add the KIWAY_PLAYER which is associated with a particular PROJECT, and all
its child wxFrames and wxDialogs now have a Kiway() member function which
returns a KIWAY& that that window tree branch is in support of. This is like
wxWindows DNA in that child windows get this member with proper value at time
of construction.
* Anticipate some of the needs for milestones B) and C) and make code
adjustments now in an effort to reduce work in those milestones.
* No testing has been done for python scripting, since milestone C) has that
being largely reworked and re-thought-out.
* Allow to select units in components that have more than one right in the
component chooser dialog.
* Keep chosen unit in history.
* Show preview of current component unit as thumbnail image next to the
description box.
* Fixes lp:1280567
* Fix replace bug to handle case sensitivity properly.
* Fix replace bug where the item index was getting updated incorrectly.
* Fix replace infinite loop bug on replace all.
* Make find/replace view update code a separate function.
* Rearrange find/replace trace string to add tracing to EDA_ITEM::Replace().
* Add IsComplexHierarchy method to SCH_SHEET_LIST for future find/replace
improvements.
* Merge HandleBlockEnd() and HandleBlockEndByPopUp() into as single block
end function HandleBlockEnd().
* Replace all instances of HandleBlockEndByPopUp() with HandleBlockEnd().
* Change block hot keys to send command events instead of directly calling
end block handler.
was simply a pointer to an object on the display list. At times this object
would disappear from the display list, in the test case because of a concatonation
of two wires, and if you then tried to clone the non-existent object you'd get a
crash. This was not merely a bug, but a naive design choice. IMO.
Now the item to repeat is cloned, so will never also be on the display list.
and various DIALOG classes called from top frames. See comments in
{eeschema,pcbnew}/invoke_a_dialog.h.
*) Move some dialog classes into *.cpp files from *.h files.
*) void SCH_EDIT_FRAME::OnErc( wxCommandEvent& event ) was opening the modeless
ERC dialog more than once if icon was clicked more than once.
*) Remove BOM stuff.
Pcbnew: in netlist dialog: The user now can choose between the netlist and the .cmp file to import footprints names.
Therfore no need to delete the .cmp file when exists to use only the netlist.
This is useful for users who use CvPcb only once to fill footprints fields in schematic, and after edit/modify the footprints fields in schematic outside CvPcb.
clean duplicate code.
Simplify HPGL dialog: plot offet removed and replace by only one option (plot origin to center of sheet or not)
This is surely enought.
* make 2 bitmaps more visible.
* fix incorrect screen redraw when rotating a component.
* netlist : the pcbnew advanced format can be now stored (persistant option) in project config.
Eeschema: Viewlib is now accessible from Libedit (to browse libs or load a component to edit)
Libedit: uses now the same dialog as the schematic editor to load a component
Some code cleaning.
* Eeschema can generate this netlist format.
* Pcbnew can use (automatic identification) the current format or the new format.
* Cvpcb does not use yet the new format.
* Move SCH_ITEM::Place() code into SCH_EDIT_FRAME so schematic item
objects no longer have any knowledge of the schematic frame window
or undo/redo containers.
