* 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.
* SearchHelpFileFullPath(): clean up platform specific path code, add executable path sans bin
directory on non-osx platforms, and move KICAD path variable to the beginning of the search
list.
* Minor search stack debug output improvements.
* 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.
PAD_SHAPE_T and PAD_ATTR_T still have a double definition (new names and old names) to be sure python scripts are nor broken by the change.
PAD_DRILL_SHAPE_T does not have a double definition, because it is unlikely oblong holes are used in python scripts.
Double definitions will be removed in the (next) future.
Fix an issue when a .kicad_pcb file contains an incorrect fpid ( containing a '/ ' in footprint section ) . After saving the board the file was no more readable, due to a broken fpid saved in file
(can happens in old .kicad_pcb files, coming from the bzr 4022 stable version, and/or in files converted from an other EDA tool like altium)
Fix 2 very minor coverity warnings.
* Remove ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE_CHAR_VALIDATOR::OnChar() because it was skipping
the filtering of the first character. Not sure what was going but this seemed to fix the issue.
* Added environment variable name test to DIALOG_ENV_VAR_CONFIG::TransferDataFromWindow
because apparently validators do not get called in wxGrids even whe the extend window style
wxWS_EX_VALIDATE_RECURSIVELY is set.
* Set the default button using wxFormBuilder since the OK button is not part of a wxStdDialogButtonSizer.
* Minor improvements to the HTML help dialog.
* Fix assertion when calling HTML help dialog. Apparently any dialog derived from DIALOG_SHIM must
have a KIWAY top level window as a parent.
In 3D viewer, this option can take a *very long* calculation time (minutes instead of seconds, or hangs) and they are now using aFastMode = true to do polygon calculations, especially for zones inside zones belong to the same net but having different priority (which creates weak polygons).
aFastMode = false is the default for other calculations (zone filling) as before.
* Adds a "Grid Reference Point" to the VRML export; this allows a user to specify the (X,Y) coordinate which will be the origin point on the output
* Adds a "Grid Reference Point" to the IDF export; this is similar in purpose to the corresponding VRML export feature.
* Replace module nomenclature with footprint for improved consistency.
* Replace abbreviations in control text.
* Replace exchange nomenclature with change.
* 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.
Also add PAD_SHAPE_<PADSHAPE> equiv to PAD_<PADSHAPE> and PAD_ATTRIB_PAD_<PADATTRIB> equiv to PAD_<PADATTRIB>
(<PADSHAPE> = ROUND, RECT... and <PADATTRIB> =SMD, CONN ... )
* Update cross-hair position when using mouse wheel to pan.
* Add ugly hack when mouse cursor enters canvas to force the cross-hair visibility counter
back to zero. There was a bug on Windows when using the middle mouse button to pan
and the user released the middle mouse button off of the canvas, the cross-hair would no
longer be displayed until the window was closed and reopened.
Now all are calculated using the top to bottom draw Y axis. This is perhaps not a good idea, but at least it will be easy to change, later.
Code cleaning relative to these bounding boxes.
* Remove global s_NetObjectslist.
* Separate out non-owning version of NETLIST_OBJECTS_LIST into NETLIST_OBJECTS.
* Fix double free pertaining to ~NETLIST_READER().
* Remove all file-io from CvPCB.
* Remove exe launcher cvpcb, retain only cvpcb.kiface, since cvpcb.kiface has no file i/o.
* Add void CVPCB_MAINFRAME::KiwayMailIn( KIWAY_EXPRESS& mail ) and teach it to use old
netlist loading code with a STRING_LINE_READER LINE_READER.
* Fix BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE( CVPCB_MAINFRAME, KIWAY_PLAYER )
* auto-save was broken for all sub sheets with are in a sub-directory of the project directory. (reason wxFileName::Normalize(), used to create the absolute path has issues with filenames starting by '$', perhaps due to env var which also start by $). the auto-save prefix is modified ( now AUTOSAVE_PREFIX_FILENAME which defines "_save_" ) and defined only once.
* auto-save files from sub-sheets were not found due to the fact the path was not set (fixed by Blair Bonnet's patch)
* Use only double to store zoom levels in class BASE_SCREEN (int type is not working for eeschema or page layout editor) (this fix Bug #1450551, Assertion failed on wxRound() when zooming)
* Fix crash in all apps but Pcbnew when a grid or a zoom was selected from the popup menu.
* Modify default hotkeys for Next Grid and Previous Grid: the initial key was a dead key, not suitable as hotkey. the 'N' and Shift N keys are used instead (with a change for unfill zone hotkey)
* Modify code in EDA_DRAW_FRAME::SetNextGrid() and EDA_DRAW_FRAME::SetPreviousGrid() to make them compatible with other editors than the board editor.
* Add code to test if any of the components in the schematic cache have been changed
in the component libraries.
* Prompt user to accept or reject components when changes are found.
* If the user chooses to use the components in the cache, create a new library with the old
components and add it to the beginning of the component library list so the schematic will
not be changed.
* Create dialogs to handle user feedback and status.
Previously, only the lib named "power" was used (and therefore power parts defined in other libs not shown).
Now, all power parts can be loaded from any library.
Also, when loading power parts from the chose component dialog or the lib viewer, libs and parts are filtered: only power parts and libs containing power parts are listed.
Hotkeys: move a few global strings in the files where ther are actually used (and make them local.) and code cleaning.
Fix a few other minor issues.
Modedit, GAL mode: fix a crash when a duplicated area includes the ref or value fields.
Add missing bitmap for pad enumerate.
fix bad flag for Portuguese language.
Fix a few typo in messages.
* Create new dialog to edit environment variables.
* Add helper class ENV_VAR_ITEM to manage environment variable values and
if they were defined externally.
* A path configuration dialog access to KiCad, CvPcb, Pcbnew, and Footprint Editor
window menus.
* Add validator for environment variables.
these options are used in GAL mode, but the usercannot control this visibility. So if the board file does not have these visibility flags set, the GAL never show them.
Fix also a compil warning.
legacy plugin: better compatibility with old brd files (current track width and current vias size, stored in SETUP section, were not read from file and incorrectly set)
Eeschema now uses dashed lines for graphic lines (to be consistent with plot functions and toolbal icon).
Fix an old bug in some envionments which warp the mouse on a bad monitor when opening eeschema, pcbnew and some other windows, only noticeable guys who are lucky enough to have more than one monitor.
- CACHED_CONTAINER::GetVertices: removed useless and unused function
which does nothing but tainted the API
- SHAPE_LINE_CHAIN::Collide( const BOX2I& aBox, int aClearance ):
removed an outdated function with assert(false)
- SHAPE::BBox(): fix a small typo in the doc string
* Fix default KISYSMOD/KISYS3DMOD (#ifdef typo) for OSX builds.
* Remove setting KIGITHUB from kicad/pcbnew Info.plist in favor of hardcoded default
setting for OSX builds.
* Remove now unneeded Set3DShapesDefaultPath() and other small things.
* move not shared files (sch_item_struct.*, sch_base_frame.h) to eeschema;
* move wxEeschemaStruct.h to eeschema and rename it schframe.h to be consistent with the other corresponding file name schframe.cpp;
* remove few not needed #include
* Fix unitialized variable in MSG_PANEL_ITEM default ctor.
* Fix a bunch of uncaught exception issues.
* Fix a memory leak in the NETLIST_READER::GetNetlistReader() when an
an attempt to read an invalid net list file occurs.
Rename eeschema/dialogs/dialog_sch_find.fbp to dialog_schematic_find_base.fbp, to be consistent with other dialogs.
Pcbnew run from the project manager: add menu Save Copy As..., which is the same command as Save As ... in stand alone mode, but with the constraints of a project (no cwd change, no board filename change, and keep project settings)
Text arrays can now use "%s" as a placeholder to be substituted with the array index.
Also expand menu options for move exact, arrays and duplicate.
Minor fixes for arrays - use proper unit parsing, add numbering start for circular arrays
Add circle radius indicator to array dialogue
These settings are now not common to the board editor, because the footprint editor can be run outside the board editor.
download_boost.cmake: ignore .htm* files when installing boost. They are not used, and often have a very very long (and stupid) name which sometimes creates issues.
* Fix -Woverloaded-virtual warning in DIALOG_LIB_NEW_COMPONENT class
definition.
* Make EDA_ITEM::Matches( const wxString& wxFindReplaceData& ) protected
since it's a helper function that should only be called by derived objects.
* if the current select plugin is the github plugin, one can select some of these libraries and add them to the table
* if the current select plugin is the kicad plugin, one can select some of these libraries and download them to make alocal copy.
They can added to the table after they are downloaded.
this option was possible only by modifying the way display options are managed.
before these changes, display options were a global DISPLAY_OPTIONS class instance.
Now each EDA_DRAW_FRAME(and derivated classes) includes its own DISPLAY_OPTIONS class instance.
As a consequence, some duplicate display option variables in these classes have been removed, because there were just duplicate variables of the DISPLAY_OPTIONS class instance.
Please, note the layer manager was already available in GAL mode, but is was the same as tne board editor, which is not good.
Now:
- In default mode or GAL mode, the look is the same.
- Only suitable technical layers (i.e. paired layers) are selectable from the layers manager (for special purposes, some other layers can be used, via the graphic items properties dialog)
When the filename is not absolute, the page layout file is now searched first in project folder, and then in kicad template folder, if not found in project.
Fix issue when using a page layout file in project folder: eeschema and Pcbnew did not use it, unless using an absolute path.
Now, if the file path is nor absolute, it is seen as relative to the project (which is the expected behavior)
fp lib wizard: when pcbnew id compiled with USE_GITHUB_PLUGIN=OFF, the github plugin option is no more accessible (and the web viewer no more used).
Looked like a minor issue, but was due to a more serious bug, when using 2 different DSN_LEXERS which were not synchronized.
The fix is not perfect, but unfortunately, the parser used to read the PCB_PLOT_PARAMS in .kicad_pcb files is also used in legacy board file reader.
Therefore it is better than write 2 parser functions, one for legacy files, the other for the .kicad_pcb files, which make the same thing.
steps to better support devices with precise scrolling deltas (trackpads).
Scrolling is done in the handler rather than creating and firing cmd events.
This is intended to support two-finger scrolling on the Magic Trackpad.
- Added a preference, 'Use mousewheel to pan', to allow panning by default
on mousewheel events. This reverses the existing behavior where unmodified
mousewheel zooms and Shift/Cmd modified pans.
The old behavior was:
- Unmodified scrollwheel performed zoom in/out
- Shift modified scrollwheel performed pan up/down
- Cmd modified scrollwheel performed pan left/right
- Shift+Cmd modified scrollwheel performed zoom in/out
with no cursor warp
With the new preference checked, this changes to:
- Unmodified scrollwheel performs pan up/down
- Shift modified scrollwheel performs pan left/right
- Cmd modified scrollwheel performs zoom in/out
- Shift+Cmd modified scrollwheel performs zoom in/out
with no cursor warp
With the preference unchecked, this is now:
- Unmodified scrollwheel performed zoom in/out
- Shift modified scrollwheel performed pan left/right
- Cmd modified scrollwheel performed pan up/down
- Shift+Cmd modified scrollwheel performed zoom in/out
with no cursor warp
It should be noted that for the last case, the behavior has changed.
This is not arbitrary. This now matches expected behavior for an OS X
application. This also matches what wxWidgets expects on this platform
as wxWidgets changes the axis of mousewheel events to horizontal when
the event is shift-modified.
The preference is added everwhere that mouse preferences previously
existed, i.e., eeschema, pcbnew and gerbview. The 3D Viewer does
not yet honor this preference, but behaves as if it was checked.
The pl_editor does not currently have any preferences to honor.
As with the magnify event support, this covers canvases for all
current tools, EDA_DRAW_PANEL, EDA_3D_CANVAS and EDA_DRAW_PANEL_GAL.
This does NOT modify the behavior of mousewheel zooming, though it
probably should. This remains unsuitable for use with a trackpad,
use pinch-to-zoom instead.
Committing this separately from the rest to ease making a patch for just this
functionality in case that it might make it into the trunk.
This can function standalone, though it is less useful without the rest.
It requires that wxwidgets-3.0.0_macosx_magnify_event.patch be applied to wxWidgets
It is completely optional; everything is guarded by the USE_OSX_MAGNIFY_EVENT macro.
- Added OnMagnify event handler to EDA_DRAW_PANEL, EDA_3D_CANVAS and the helper for
EDA_DRAW_PANEL_GAL, WX_VIEW_CONTROLS. This should cover canvases all current tools.
- Guarded all with USE_OSX_MAGNIFY EVENT feature macro and added support in CMakeLists.txt
* Improve VRML export dialog lay out.
* Make the OK button the default action in the export dialog.
* Make 3D model export work correctly and avoid redundant file copies.
* Fix embedded path separators in wrl files on windows.
* Fix absolute model file path creation in wrl files.
* Clean up VRML export code.
* Change hot key editing contol from wxGridTableBase to wxListCtrl.
* Separate hot key lists into separate tabs rather than one large list.
* Coding policy fixes.
* Many path related fixes.
* Fix execution of external applications.
* Update mac-osx.txt.
* Add top-level links for standalone applications inside OSX bundle.
* Fix document icons for Eeschema and pl_editor.
* Create individual bundles for standalone applications inside the main application bundle.
* Add usual 'site-packages' to python path in OSX bundle.
* Fix name of OSX bundle plugin folder.
Rename "Switch highcontrast" to "Toggle High Contrast".
Eliminate most of the abbreviated hotkey titles.
Doxygenize dialog_hotkeys_editor.h and add missing license block.
Display <unassigned> if key code is 0 (NULL).
Refactor hotkey editor to use tab control instead of one giant list.
Each tab is a separate hotkey section.
Modify EDA_HOTKEY_CONFIG to change the m_Comment member to m_Title for a new purpose.
We want a pretty title in the hotkey editor. We use m_Title for the key export comment which
still conveys the purpose just as easily.
Refactored usage of wxGrid into wxListCtrl which allows capturing navigation characters
and also works better (single selection is built in).
Add hotkey overwrite prompts that are paired with "Common" section. It will check if a hotkey
overlaps with the proper sections. i.e. Common with the all other sections; or Section 1 with just Common.
Right-click menu removed due to wxListCtrl being able to catch the special keys properly.
* Compile all binaries into a single application bundle.
* Use CMake BundleUtilities to make application bundle relocatable.
* Restructure build output to directly create an image file.
* Fix default search paths.
* Set KIGITHUB environment variable.
* Added patch to fix wxWidgets so names for OSX.
Schematic component properties dialog: add 2 helper buttons to manage the chip name (name of the corresponding part in lib)
- a browse button to chose an other chip name
- a test button, to know if the part exists. If not existing, list the parts found when searching using a case insensitive comparison.
- Removed the friends MODULE and FOOTPRINT_EDIT_FRAME from TEXTE_MODULE
(as in the @todo comment)
- Refactored the Rotate/Flip/Mirror for text in modules into the
TEXTE_MODULE class itself (members RotateWithModule, FlipWithModule,
MirrorWithModule)
- New behaviour in coloring text on screen: reference and value still
take the color from the MOD_TEXT_FR_VISIBLE and MOD_TEXT_BK_VISIBLE
visibles; other text takes the color of the layer containing it
(except when hidden, obviously) but still get its visibility
controlled by those visibles (probably the most intuitive and useful
behaviour)
- Still need to decide: should text on a layer be hidden when the layer
is? Probably yes (still to be implemented);
- Some comment fixed and many cast converted to static_cast
* Create GetNewConfig() and GetKicadConfigPath() to unify configuration file
creation and location.
* Move Windows configuration out of the registry into configuration files.
* Move Linux configuration files from $HOME to $HOME/.config/kicad to eliminate
configuration file pollution in the users $HOME folder.
* Fix a bug in the configuration file where the Eeschema hot keys are saved.
* Add hot key handled return indicator to DRAW_FRAME::GeneralControl() and
DRAW_FRAME::OnHotKey() and all classed derived from DRAW_FRAME.
* Add code to all GeneralControl() and OnHotKey() functions to return true if
hot key was handled.
* Call event skip in DRAW_PANEL::OnKeyEvent() when key event is not handled to
allow default menu event handler to function properly.
* Fix Eeschema back annotation bug where footprint field visibility setting was ignored.
* Replace two confusing and ambiguous dialogs with a simple single choice dialog.
Ensure some values initialized by the schematic editor and used by libedit are also initialized in libedit even if the schematic editor was not started.
Remove useless commands (save/load project config) in libedit, because now they have no sense.
This fixes Bug #1360219 (Lost settings in eeschema) and keep separation between code relative to lib management and code relative to preferences.
2 or 3 minor settings could be lost in some designs, but they are very easy to reenter.
* Refresh canvas when user cancels edits so that the discarded sheet is
cleared from the schematic.
* Add file name validation to the sheet properties dialog to prevent
illegal file name characters from being entered into the text control.
* Rename FOOTPRINT_NAME_VALIDATOR to FILE_NAME_CHAR_VALIDATOR for clarity.
wxUpdateUIEvent events can be sent to parent frames, when opening a menu in a child frame, if parent and child frame share same ID fro menuitems (or tools)
The wrong menuitem can be used in some cases ( because there are more than one menuitem with the same identifier), by a wxUpdateUIEvent event function run in a parent frame.
*) When kicad.exe closes a project, close any open KIFACEs so that they cannot
get disassociated from their true PROJECT.
*) Allow loading eeschema library editor from kicad.exe
*) Allow loading pcbnew library editor from kicad.exe
*) Rename LIB_COMPONENT to LIB_PART.
*) Add class PART_LIBS, and PART_LIB.
*) Make PART_LIBS non-global, i.e. PROJECT specific.
*) Implement "data on demand" for PART_LIBS
*) Implement "data on demand" for schematic SEARCH_STACK.
*) Use RSTRINGs to retain eeschema editor's notion of last library and part being edited.
*) Get rid of library search on every SCH_COMPONENT::Draw() call, instead use
a weak pointer.
*) Remove all chdir() calls so projects don't need to be CWD.
*) Romove APPEND support from OpenProjectFiles().
*) Make OpenProjectFiles() robust, even for creating new projects.
*) Load EESCHEMA colors in the KIWAY::OnKiwayStart() rather in window open,
and save them in the .eeschema config file, not in the project file.
*) Fix bug with wxDir() while accessing protected dirs in kicad.exe
*) Consolidate template copying into PROJECT class, not in kicad.exe source.
*) Generally untangle eeschema, making its libraries not global but rather
held in the PROJECT.
Remove a minor warning message in Debug mode for 2 dialogs.
Pcbnew: update Gerber X2 file format (File Attribute) to very last X2 specification
Eeschema: Fix a minor bug in block selection (sometimes the last selected component was select instead of items in selected area)
and better drag behavior when draging an item by the drag hotkey.
Event handlers are (dis)connected depending on the active view.
TOOL_DISPATCHER inherits from wxEvtHandler, so now it receives events directly instead of being fed by external handlers.
* default file ext is now .gbr (the "official extension")
* some outdated commands remoded.
* mainly use mm and 4.5 format instead of inches and 3.4 format. this is mandatory,
because the 3.4 format (comming from old pcbned internal units) creates truncations in coordinates.
(with serious issues in polygons which can appear self-intersecting afer truncation)
2) Fix passing wxString to common/config_params so lookup keys
can be dynamically generated. This gives ~/.kicad files all the colors.
3) Fix LEGACY_PLUGIN so it loads all layer types and masks properly.
4) Extend the table in router/pns_index.h to 128 from 64.
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.
They are now member of EDA_DRAW_FRAME.
This change could fix Bug #1330781 (Background color change in Eeschema affects background color in Pcbnew)
Show page limits has meaning only for the schematic editor, the board editor and the page layout editor.
Draw background color selection exists only in eeschema and page layout editor.
In pcbnew, only a black background is allowed.
A side effect is now the user should set the background color in schematic editor, and the library editor (2 different options).
The default is still the white color.
- Refactored the common part of cursor key movement and crosshair update
in the various GeneralControl
- Add x10 movement with the keyboard (CTRL modifier)
- Avoid fixup of the cursor position by dummy mouse movements generated
by cursor warping (original analysis and idea Chris Gibson)
- Do key handling in a way to permit sub-pixel cursor movement
Change class PROJECT to use a generalized wxString in place of the
RETAINED_PATH items, so that new session and project specific strings
of any purpose can be saved there, for the life of a session.
Do not pay attention to add/remove files - it seems there may be a bug in git-bzr-ng plugin. I have checked them, they stayed exactly the same as before.
Removed SetCurrentClassName() (it was not used anywhere and less safe than SetCurrentClass()).
Added BOARD_DESIGN_SETTIGNS::GetDefault() to make some pieces of shorter and clearer.
Fix ( workaround only) crash (Windows only) when a quasi modal frame (like footprint viewer) was called from a dialog (like the component properties dialog in schematic editor).
Very minor other fixes.
Most of the changes are just adding GetDesignSettings() before every occurence of m_NetClasses.
More complex changes:
class_netclass.cpp - NETCLASS does not store the pointer to the parent BOARD anymore. Added function SetParams( BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS& ).
class_netclass.h - Removed GetTrackMinWidth(), GetViaMinDiameter(), GetViaMinDrill(), GetuViaMinDiameter(), GetuViaMinDrill() as they were refering to BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS anyway (they are not net class specific).
kicad_plugin.cpp - filters out empty nets (that are anyway not saved) when storing net class information. Previously it was done in NETCLASS::Format() function.
*) Implement a framework for "Data Load On Demand".
*) Implement FP_LIB_TABLE* PROJECT::PcbFootprintLibs(), which is the first
prototype.
This allows the project specific footprint tables to be part of the Module Editor
when invoked from Eeschema.

*) 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.

hierarchy and they are invoked by a peer, not a parent.
*) KIWAY_PLAYER::IsModal() is now a retained state, controlled by SetModal()
*) Fully re-work the KIWAY_PLAYER::ShowModal() to use a nested event loop.
*) Add support to DIALOG_SHIM for a "quasi-modal" dialog presentation and mode.
See top of dialog_shim.cpp about that for benefits and need.
*) You can now pick footprint from the schematic component field dialog, although
if you do this before you open the BOARD, you will only get the global footprint
libraries, not also the project specific ones. Opening the BOARD first avoids this
problem.
This is the first example of cross KIFACE invocation, it is also the first
instance of using a TOP_FRAME other than FRAME_PCB as the first thing. It works,
but it's missing support for opening the project specific table because
historically the FRAME_PCB did that. This is now starting to expose all the near
term needs for KIWAY_PLAYER <-> PROJECT interaction, independence and out of
sequence usage.
A fix for this will be coming in a few days.
However it mostly starts to show why the KIWAY is terribly useful and important.

*) 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.

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.
- Converted the Next/Prev C casts to static casts and removed the type
unsafe ones
- Splitted as virtual the VIA::Flip member instead of using RTTI
- Heavily refactored the 'unconnected track' cleanup routine
- Misc constification
SVG plot, fix a missing reinitialization in plot lines, which could define a filled polyline, instead of a simple polyline
(these fixes solve Bug #1313084 )
- SEGVIA becomes VIA
- Drill size moved from TRACK to VIA
- Removed shape from TRACK, becomes ViaType in VIA
- GetTrace becomes GetTrack, for uniformity
- Some minor constification and typo fixes
*) void KIWAY::ExpressMail( FRAME_T aDestination, MAIL_T aCommand, const std::string& aPayload, wxWindow* aSource=NULL );
*) virtual void KiwayMailIn( KIWAY_EXPRESS& aEvent );
*) enum MAIL_T expansion into the brave new world if cross KIWAY_PLAYER communications.
Let the KIWAY_PLAYING begin.....
through well conceived mail from one KIWAY_PLAYER to another.
Get thinking now. Add a new MAIL_T value, then send ExpressMail(),
and receive it in KiwayMailIn(), it's that easy.
Eeschema, Pcbnew, and Cvpcb all run under the same process now,
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME!
*) Added KIWAY::PlayerCreate(), PlayerClose(), and PlayersClose().
*) Factored FRAME_T into <frame_type.h> from ID_DRAWFRAME_TYPE.
*) Found that the following command line is helpful for collecting all the *.kiface
files into the <build>/kicad/ directory so that kicad can find them.
$ cp `find . -name '*.kiface'` kicad/
Maybe somebody will want to rework how the CMake files are organized so all
the binaries can go into the same place. See python-a-mingw-us.
*) This might fix the problem on the Mac where child process windows were not
coming to the front. See ->Raise() in kicad/mainframe.cpp.
*) You can set USE_KIFACE to 0 in kicad/mainframe.cpp to chain load child exes
instead of using the KIFACE modules directly, i.e. revert.
if it is running under single_top.cpp or under a project manager.
*) Test Kiface().IsSingle() when adding menus, some operations are not permitted
when running under a project manager and the KIWAY_PLAYER is pegged to a
specific project.
*) Implemented KIWAY::KiFACE() so it loads *.kiface files. They still have to be
in the same directory as the main *.exe launcher, so this presents some difficulty
when the binaries are not yet installed but rather the *.kiface files are still
in their original build directories. For today, I simply copied _pcbnew.kiface
to build/kicad/.
*) Add a test case to kicad/mainframe.cpp just to get an early peek at loading
_pcbnew.kiface under the C++ project manager. Got that working for one
specific invocation just for proof of concept. Surprise, it works.
was used locally. Then comment it out in favor of a newer strategy for
filling in nicknames in cvpcb.
Add MODULE* FootprintLoadWithOptionalNickname( const FPID& aFootprintId )
throw( IO_ERROR, PARSE_ERROR );
from code found elsewhere.
Dialog Freeroute: if freeroute.jar is find in kicad binaries, it is run as a standard java application, not as web applcation
Very minor other fixes
FPC_(SMD_type)_footprintwizard.py wizard finished.
Refactored code that handled zooming events.
Added PCB_RENDER_SETTINGS::Get/SetSketchMode().
PCBNEW_CONTROL reacts to hot keys changing display modes (sketch via/tracks, high contrast).
! 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.
TOOL_EVENT message is supposed to contain string as parameter.
Added missing header for class_drawsegment.h (KiROUND).
Renamed SELECTION_TOOL::containsSelected() to SELECTION_TOOL::selectionContains().
- VIEW_ITEM::ViewUpdate() does not update items immediately. Now it marks them to be updated and the real update occurs on the next rendering frame.
- VIEW::InvalidateItem() made private.
- VIEW_LAYER::enabled -> visible
- Some functions moved to header files.
* 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
Add a workaround to fix a new bug in wxWidgets 3.0 ( Windows specific ) which shows icons only with a size = 16x16 in menus which have attribute wxITEM_CHECK
Add missing calls to Show( false ) to some main frames (Kicad, eeschema, gerbview), to force config saving when closing these windows.
Code cleanup and minor coding style fixes in footprint_wizard_frame
GetNet() refers to the net code stored in the NETINFO_ITEM. SetNet() finds an appropriate NETINFO_ITEM and uses it.
Removing GetNet() & SetNet() (and the whole net code idea) requires too many changes in the code (~250 references to the mentioned functions).
BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEMs by default get a pointer to NETINFO_ITEM that stores unconnected items. This requires for all BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEMs to have a parent (so BOARD* is accessible). The only orphaned item is BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS::m_Pad_Master, but it does not cause any issues so far.
Items that do not have access to a BOARD (do not have set parents) and therefore cannot get net assigned, by default get const static NETINFO_LIST::ORPHANED.
Performed tests:
- loaded .kicad_pcb, KiCad legacy board, Eagle 6.0 board, P-CAD board - all ok
- load a simple project, reload netlist after changing connections in eeschema - ok
- save & reload a board - ok, but still contain empty nets
- remove everything, restore with undo - ok
- remove everything, reload netlist - ok
- changing net names (all possibilites: empty->existing, empty->not existing, existing->empty, existing->not existing) - all ok
- zones: when net is changed to a net that does not have any nodes besides the zone itself, it does not get filled
Net codes are updated upon net list update. (BOARD::ReplaceNetlist())
Added in some places (mostly class_board.cpp) pad->SetNet() calls to synchronize net codes.
On creation of NETINFO_LIST, the first NETINFO_ITEM is added (the unconnected items net).
Removed COMPONENT_NET::m_netNumber, as it was not used anywhere.
Added an assert to D_PAD::GetNetname(), checking if net code and net name is consistent for unconnected pads. Added an assert for NETINFO_LIST::AppendNet() to assure that appended nets are unique.
It seems that at this point:
- Updating net lists works fine. The only difference between the file ouput is that after changes it contains empty nets as well.
- Nets are not saved in the lexical order. Still, net names and net codes are properly assigned to all items in the .kicad_pcb file. It is going to be addressed in the next commit. I believe it should not create any problems, as pads are sorted by their net names anyway (NETINFO_LIST::buildPadsFullList())
Performed tests:
- Created a blank PCB, saved as pic_programmer.kicad_pcb (from demos folder). Updated net lists. .kicad_pcb file (comparing to the results from master branch) differ with net order (as mentioned before), net codes and timestamps.
- Removed some of components from the above .kicad_pcb file and updated net lists. Modules reappeared. .kicad_pcb file differs in the same way as described above.
- Trying to change a pad net name (via properties dialog) results in assert being fired. It is done on purpose (as there is a call to GetNetname() and net name and net code do not match). This will not happen after the next commit.
- Prepared a simple project (starting with schematics). Imported net list, changed schematic, reimported net list - changes are applied.
- Eagle & KiCad legacy boards seem to load without any problem.
To use multiple working threads. This entailed adding KiCad typedefs:
*) Add typedefs for MUTEX and MUTLOCK which mask the actual choices for the project.
*) Add FOOTPRINT_LIST::DisplayErrors( wxWindow* ) which is a single strategy for
showing aggregated load errors. Although what's there is only scaffolding
and needs a volunteer who knows HTML pretty well.
*) Ensure all callers of ReadFootprintFiles() use the new DisplayErrors() function.
*) Push utf8.cpp and utf8.h into common library for open use.
Added REASON enum for Reset() function, so tools will know why a reset occured.
Fixed SELECTION_TOOL (it was bailing out, when a new board was loaded and some items were still selected).
Added removal of VIEW_ITEM groups after changing layers and removing items.
* Make the tool bar dockable.
* Enable the overflow control in the tool bar in case the it does not fit in
it's parent window.
* Fix some wxAuiPaneInfo usage issues.
* Remove unused wxAuiPaneInfo objects.
* Move perspective saving and loading into EDA_BASE_FRAME object in preparation
for extending this to all frame windows.
Moved scaling of font glyphs to the moment when they are created (eliminated a few multiplications unnecessary variables).
Changed some magic numbers into constants.
* Replace illegal file system characters when reading legacy libraries to
prevent FPID parsing errors and allow saving to PRETTY file format.
* Create validator to filter illegal file system characters from footprint
name text edit controls to prevent issues when saving to PRETTY file format.
* Add missing source file licenses and some minor coding policy fixes.
Now footprints, after loaded by reading a netlist are grouped by sheets by the footprints spread function, and the grouping is better.
Rename 2 files. Fix minor issues. Clean code
comment for GITHUB_PLUGIN which should flow into Doxygen output.
*) Rewrote:
PCB_BASE_FRAME::Save_Module_In_Library(): now uses fp-lib-table and PROPERTIES.
PCB_EDIT_FRAME::ArchiveModulesOnBoard(): now can archive to any writable library type.
PCB_BASE_FRAME::SelectLibrary(): is now generic for selecting a library, not just the active library.
Pcbnew: Code cleaning and bug fix in autoplace functions
Dialog exchange footprints has now a separate button to update the .cmp file, only on request.
