In polygon calculations (combining polygons, fracture) the mode of calculation (fast or strictly simple polygon option) as no more a default value, because choosing the best mode is better to optimize the calculation time.
* Add code to SCH_SHEET object to clear annotation.
* Change SCH_COMPONENT::GetPath() to derive path from SCH_SHEET object instead
of SCH_SHEET_PATH object.
* Remove clear annotation code from SCH_SCREENS object.
* Make SCH_SHEET parent the SCH_SHEET object that loaded it. This preserves
the hierarchy when the schematic is loaded.
* Add function to SCH_SHEET to find the root sheet from any sheet in the
hierarchy.
* Add functions to SCH_SHEET to create the path and human readable paths for
any sheet without relying on the external SCH_SHEET_PATH object.
* Remove function LocatePathOfScreen from SCH_SHEET since it was not used
anywhere.
* Add human readable path to message panel information for SCH_SHEET.
* Set the name of the root sheet to "root" instead of the default generated
when a new SCH_SHEET is created.
* Set the empty sheet name and file name to "root" and "noname.sch" when
Eeschema is opened with no schematic.
* When no item is at the current position on a left mouse click, show the
current sheet information in the message panel.
* Add less than operator for sorting SCH_SHEET objects by path length and
time stamps when the path lengths are the same.
* Component doc: add https as prefix in list of urls which are opened by a Internet browser.
* Import .cmp files: Use "IdModule" instead of "IdModule =" as keyword for footprint name and use '=' only as separator.
2. Whole bunch of pointless casts removed
3. Unused variables removed
4. Fix bug caused by JP on April 25, 2015 where strings were adjusted for translation and the hotkeys section table accidentally swapped the footprint editor title with tag, resulting in "footprint editor" being exported instead of "[footprinteditor]"
No functional changes besides #4, technically it'll "break" imports hotkeys files but April 25 broke imports as well.
* Removed outdated package maker information, the pmdoc is generated and does
not belong in the KiCad tree, it is also highly specific as seen due to the
references to /Users/marco. This is not used in normal builds nor in the
packaging for KiCad OSX nightly builds.
* Updated identifiers in package marker docs to remove references to sourceforge
and to follow other identifiers.
Pcbnew: Plot files: for copper layers, create suffix from user copper layer names instead of default copper layer names, like in last stable Kicad version (bzr 4022), to build the plot files filenames.
Better test of illegal chars in plot filename, both in plot dialog and functions aclled by Python scripts.
Fix a Plotcontroller issue to make SetUseGerberExtensions() work as expected from Python scripts ( from Henner Zeller'patch with a fix to be sure it works properly from a Python script)
Note also using Protel Gerber Extensions is now a bad practice, because the official Gerber extension is .gbr since X2 Gerber version. But some users still use them)
* Make the about dialog help string consistent across all menus.
* Improve print preview window and print initialization error messages.
* The usual smattering of coding policy fixes.
* Only check for search cache update on close dialog event instead of every
update of the find/replace view which caused an infinite loop when replace
all was called.
* Check for dirty search cache for each find/replace event.
* Add code to save and restore last replace index on cache refresh.
* Rename Eda_FileSelector to EDA_FILE_SELECTOR.
* Add optional pointer to wxString to save the most recently used path to EDA_FILE_SELECTOR.
* Rename Eda_DirectorySelector to EDA_PATH_SELECTOR.
* Replace wxGetCwd() with wxStandardPaths::GetDocumentsDir(). This fixes the windows issue
where wxGetCwd() returns the path where the executable files are located.
* Add code to handle most recently used path to EDA_BASE_FRAME.
* Fix string formatting error in kicad/files-io.cpp.
* Remove setting and restoring current working directory when launching GerbView. Setting the CWD
has no effect on the launched executable which starts with it's own CWD.
* Allow project path to be passed to GerbView when launched from KiCad.
* Note: this is a work in progress. Do not expect every path and/or file selection dialog to properly
update the most recently used path. The correct solution to this problem requires a much more
well though out solution which will not happen until after the next stable release.
Fix a very minor issue about accelerator key in help menu: for "Eeschema Manual" of library browser it was "H". It is now "M" like in other help menus.
* Move color conflict checking code into TranferDataFromWindow so that it can be used in both the
OK and Apply button message handlers.
* Change Erc to ERC in text labels.
* Check for color conflicts and give the user the option to dismiss the changes before applying them.
* Add color conflict checking when apply button is pressed.
* Use default dialog size to allow sizers to set the initial size of the dialog.
* Enable CvPcb launching in stand alone mode.
* Enable footprint editor launching in stand alone mode.
* Remove some dead code left over from the change in CvPcb behavior.
* These changes were made for users who prefer to work in a less project-
centric work flow. KiCad should not be in the business of dictating
work flow whenever possible.
* Push center on zoom, use middle mouse button to pan, limit panning, and
pan while moving object settings from schematic editor to symbol library
editor and symbol library viewer child windows.
* Push center on zoom, use middle mouse button to pan, limit panning, and
pan while moving object settings from board editor to footprint library
editor and footprint library viewer child windows.
* Add code to allow each editing window it's own undo/redo count.
* Add code to allow for infinite undo/redo when count is set to 0.
* Add edit control to all editing windows general options dialog for
user configuration of undo/redo count.
* Add code to save and restore undo/redo count for each editing window.
* When multiple pins are in the same position and one is not connected,
show connection indicator correctly.
* LIB_PIN::IsVisible should be a const method so it can be called on
DANGLING_END_ITEM children without having to discard const.
* Test the (!IsVisible() && GetType() == PIN_POWER_IN) condition in a method
LIB_PIN::IsPowerConnection to avoid duplicating that condition if the test
needs to be performed in more than one place. (e.g. dunderheads like myself
might forget about the necessary GetType() == PIN_POWER_IN and just check
visibility.)
* Coding style fix: break a couple lines that were above the 99-column maximum.
* Add and/or improve Doxygen comments on SCH_COMPONENT::IsPinDanglingStateChanged
and SCH_COMPONENT::IsDanglingStateChanged.
- Slightly change the info text in the dialog. Add a definition of exactly what it means to "rescue" a component.
- Reload the project libraries when a project is opened, even if kicad is already running and the same project is open (to be sure the lib cache is up to date).
- Set the Modified flag on cancel, because a change has indeed been made (choosing not to rescue is equivalent to updating the components)
* Components with multiple "converts" were rendered with all of them overlapping instead
of just one.
* Schematics missing a -cache.lib resulted in unnecessary renaming suggestions.
* The dialog title "Conflicts Checking" is inaccurate now (as we're checking for more than
just conflicts) and also somewhat awkward, unidiomatic GUI English; I renamed it to
"Project Rescue Helper".
* Eliminate modal annotation warning dialog when generating a netlist fails
due to components that are not annotated.
* Add warning message to annotate dialog.
Fix also an issue on Windows, when using the footprint viewer or the component viewer in modal mode:
Reason: these frames (when run under the Kicad manager) have the Kicad manager as parent, and were built with wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT style.
On windows, when the frame with style wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT is displayed its parent frame is brought to the foreground, on the top of the calling frame.
and stays displayed when closing the frame in modal mode.
This issue does not happen on unix so we use now wxSTAY_ON_TOP on Windows, and wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT on unix to simulate a dialog called by ShowModal.
This is not perfect, but at least it works.
