The apply settings and push settings options now take account of the

not.
Global pad push now requires a source pad and doesn't push from the

This allows the user to set a thicker grid line without causing the

to preference.
The term "density" is modified to "minimum grid spacing", which is
the pixel spacing between adjacent grid lines.
The spacing settings now comes in along, with other GAL display settings,
as part of GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS observer functionality. To this end, the
setter in GAL interface is removed, as an external user should be
setting this parameter via the GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS interface.
This adds a user-settable control for the grid line thickness on GAL

This class, INCREMENTAL_TEXT_CTRL, is used to provide a frameworks for
classes that want to control a text control that can be incremented
according to some scheme.
Also provided is a wxWidgets implementation with spin buttons for
control, as well as mousewheel support.
The mappings from enums to control settings can be done in static
functions, which makes the set/retreive functions more concise, and also
puts the mapping functions in a clearly delineated place.
This puts the graphical/display options with the other similar options
in that dialog, rather than with the dimension options found in the Set
Grid dialog, which is in the Dimensions menu.
Also place the option itself in the GAL Display Options structure, so it
can be updated using the observer mechanism there.
The setter for the style in the GAL interface is removed, as the public
interface for setting this option is now to modify the
GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS structure and notify the GAL when done.
The GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS member of EDA_DRAW_FRAME is a private member and
is used in only a couple of places in the class. The real use of this
member is by a by-ref interface, GetGalDisplayOptions.
Because te GAL options are used by a very select few users of
EDA_DRAW_FRAME, it makes little sense to force all the (many) files
including draw_frame.h to also include gal_display_options.h, when the
vast majority have no need for it.
This massively speeds up compilation of the project when
gal_display_options.h is changed.
More isolation could be acheived by separating the GAL config types (eg
OpenGL antialias modes and grid style) from the options header, as,
although the GAL class uses them, not many includers of the GAL header
need the options struct as well.
This commit brings several changes:
- Add a footprint preview pane to the eeschema component selector
- Upgrade component list to wxTreeListCtrl
- Factor out wxTreeListCtrl subclass TWO_COLUMN_TREE_LIST which
patches a column size bug
- Linkify datasheet URL in info pane
This patch fixes a problem with GAL where zones are ignored in ratsnest
calculation.
The problem is that calling RN_DATA::Update on a zone with no polygons
(an unfilled zone) will remove the zone successfully, but then
RN_DATA::Add is a no-op.
From this point on, because ::Update refuses to work on items that have
not been ::Add'ed, the zone is removed entirely from ratsnest
calculation and will only be reconsidered once it is explicitly ::Add'ed
again.
The fix is to explicitly create an empty RN_ZONE_DATA object for every
zone that is ::Add'ed.
A second problem is that the point editor forgot to call
RN_DATA::Recalculate after calling Fill_Zone.

When attempting to read a pcad file exported from Altium, kicad was
segfaulting because it was trying to access an empty array. This patch
fixes that.
The reason the array was empty was the the board outline in the pcad
file was composed of only arcs and the plugin only processes lines in
the board outline. Adding this functionality is for another patch I
suppose.

Modifies the selection menu to be adaptive and disable selection options
that are not possible.
Adds a new selection option that is only available when selecting
modules, this tool will select all footprints on the same sheet level or
belonging to subsheets. It will also search for nets that are only
connecting between modules on the same sheet or lower and select every
segment and via belonging to it.
This action launches the normal interactive zone tool, but re-uses the
settings from an existing zone, based on a flag passed to the main zone
function.
Break a chunk of the new zone tool out into a separate function to keep
the code clear. When zone cutouts and similar zone tools are added,
they'll get the settings from existing zones.
This commit now used std::unique_ptr for the temporary zone item, which
simplifies handling of the ownership of that item.
This commit wires up the as-yet-unused "remove alternate" tool action
and uses it to select copper connections (normally 'U') before deleting
segments.
THis also reverses the sense of Delete and Backspace (Delete used to be
'remove' and Backpace was 'remove alt', now it is reversed). This means
that backspace is the key that removes a segment and Delete removes the
track. This is the same as legacy behaviour. Other delete actions are,
for now, the same between Delete and Backspace.

The attached patch fixes a minor bug where opening the 'View' menu
will sometimes revert the canvas to the default canvas. The problem is
that wxMenuItem::Check will cause a menu event when the status is changed even
if the checkmark is being *unset*. The workaround is to only call Check with
a true argument. This works because the menu items are radio buttons.
This makes "rotate" into two separate TOOL_EVENTs, which each have a
"multiplier" parameter.
Also added is a namespace for 'free functions' that use TOOL_EVENT
public interfaces (perhaps with other inputs too) to centralise some
decision-making and calculations.

Import becomes apply and export becomes copy.
The term "push" to apply settings globally has not been renamed.
Swap the order of the copy and apply in the context menu.
Perviously, the generic snapping code would choose the nearest of the
module origin and origin of each module pad when selecting a module
using the "Find module" tool (T hotkey).
This is unlikely to be expected unless the cursor is already near the
correct pad or the module centre.
New behaviour is to pick up by module origin first, then
select the module. This means that the cursor is already nearest the
main module origin anchor, so that is what will be used.

The problem with simple deleting VIEW_ITEM_DATA upon VIEW_ITEM removal was
caused by the default copy constructors that copied pointers.
Once a copy of an item was destroyed, the VIEW_ITEM_DATA has been
destroyed, effectively invalidating m_viewPrivData for the other item.
This means that non-top-level tools, for example EDIT_TOOL and
PCB_EDITOR_CONTROL can submit their own menus to the top-level tool's
TOOL_MENU, which will then retain a reference to it and make it
available for the CONTEXT_MENU that is shown.
Add a class TOOL_MENU, which provides a management class for a
CONDITIONAL_MENU and a set of CONTEXT_MENUs. The aim of this is to
provide a central place where all TOOL_INTERACTIVEs can get a "basic"
context menu that either they or other tools can register new items and
sub-menus against.
This means that "top-level" tools no longer need to manage the lifetimes
of any CONTEXT_MENUs that they add, and can also delegate simple menu
display functions.
Add a hack so that the pad properties base dialog constructor can pass in the dependency. Since the derived dialog's constructor takes the parent by this exact type, the static cast is safe.
If the SELECTION_TOOL's Select... menu is not shown, the separator under
it should also not be shown, so use the same SELECTION_CONDITIONS to
enforce this.

The unfortunate combination of using static_cast to promote board items

Coverity: CID 147344 Unchecked dynamic_cast
If a file that parses validly in Parse() but does not return a BOARD is loaded,
no exception will be thrown but the dynamic_cast will return NULL. This NULL
is tested by wxASSERT(), which does not actually halt anything (especially in
release builds), and then we proceed to board->SetFileName().
This can be demonstrated quickly by renaming a .kicad_mod to .kicad_pcb and
trying to load it. pcbnew will crash.
Currently, kicad_pcb files have a (version ...) tag, but it is ignored. This
commit does the following:
1. Parse the version. If it's later than the last supported version, present an
alternative error message suggesting an upgrade if the file does not load
correctly. The version will be interpreted as an integer YYYYMMDD to suggest
a KiCad release date.
2. Accept a (version ...) tag also in kicad_mod files, but do not write them
yet. If no version tag is present in these files, assume the version to be that
of the current format version at the time of this commit.
This is meant to be merged to the 4.x stable series, and preps for KiCad 5
which will start emitting version tags also in footprints - users with what
will then be 'old stable' will not get a parse error when we introduce this for
footprints, and we can safely increment the format version later.
It should help if (or when) the internal angle unit used in kicad will be changed from 0.1 degree (a relic of code written for PCs without fpu) to degree ( a more natural unit).
* Always hide footprint text when the layer that the text resides is disabled
in the layer manager. There is no longer a difference between the value and
reference text compared to other field text.
* The usual smattering of coding policy fixes and general code cleaning.
* Paths defined via pcbnew->Preferences->Configure Paths are now included in
the 3D file browser's drop-down list except for KICAD_PTEMPLATES, KIGITHUB,
KISYSMOD, any paths resembling a URL, and any non-existent paths. When an
absolute path is shortened using one of these path aliases, let's say
'KISYS3DMOD' then the name appears in the pcb file as "${KISYS3DMOD}/blah.wrl".
If a user defines and actual environment variable with the same name, then
that user defined variable will have precedence over the internally defined
variable.
* Paths relative to the current project directory are no longer represented
as "some/path/to/file.wrl". For compatibility with previous KiCad versions
it shall always be stored as ${KIPRJMOD}/some/path/to/file.wrl.
* Various restrictions on alias path values have been removed since the
imposed restrictions could result in corrupted user data as aliases are
silently dropped.
* Overall the patch should improve back-compatibility by providing a ${ENV_VAR}
mechanism for supporting different model root directories and ensuring that
paths relative to KIPRJMOD are expressed in a way that is compatible with
earlier KiCad versions. This allows users more flexibility and the ability
to work in a way that ensures 3D model files can be correctly resolved in
earlier versions of KiCad. Users who do not care about back-compatibility
may prefer to use the newer alias system.
Fixa also a corner case which crashes Pcbnew: if the dialog is opened, and the board was changed (reloaded, cleared), pcbnew crashed because many pointers stored in dialog become invalid. Now the dialog is just closed.
- When the Kicad manager is iconized, all other child frames are iconized (normal wxWidgets behavior)
- For viewer frames in modal mode, there is a more annoying issue: they have the wxFLOAT_ON_PARENT frame style on unix, and wxSTAY_ON_TOP on Windows.
wxFLOAT_ON_PARENT frame style is incorrect (although on most WM it works) because the parent frame (Kicad manager Frame) is not the caller. It is usually a main editor frame.
It does not work on Windows (wx STAY_ON_TOP is used).
* Now each editor frame has a null parent.
Therefore iconizing the Kicad manager frame does not iconize other frames.
* Viewer frames have null parent in normal mode and the caller parent in modal mode (therefore wxFLOAT_ON_PARENT frame style is always and correctly used)
* References to opened/closed main frames are no more managed by the (complicated) kicad code. Instead of, a non critical and more easy to understand code just uses FindWindowByName to know if a main window exists or not.
These changes do not fix all issues about Kicad frames brought to the foreground or the background, but it fixes a few issues, and AFAIK do not add other issues.
The attached patch makes the following changes to import DXF:
1. correctly implements scaling based on DXF $INSUNITS -
at least where INSUNITS is sensible. I ignore units like miles,
gigameters, AU, lightyear, parsec ...
2. correctly implements LWPolylines, adding an ARC segment
rather than a line segment when bulge != 0. A number of users
have been complaining about getting the wrong board shape
(chamfered corners rather than rounded corners) on DXF Import,
now they shouldn't complain.
Following rev 6627 (git 2777182), if a non-duplicatable item was the object of
a Duplicate action, the original item would be picked up, potentially
misleading the user into thinking something was actually duplicated.
Do not assert that the item to be duplicated can be duplicated, just don't
duplicate it. The user can trigger a Duplicate on items that aren't
duplicatable, like field texts - he'll figure out that they can't be duplicated
when they aren't, no need to deliver a scary warning and risk an abort.

TODO: Don't pick up the duplicated selection if none of the items in it were
actually duplicated, it's misleading.
