(corresponding to draw scale factor > 1 )
* see http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/9554
This is fixed in version 2.9.x
Workaround: ( that is not a full fix, but remaining artifacts are acceptable )
edit file edit file <wxWidgets>/src/msw/dc.cpp
>> search for line
static const int VIEWPORT_EXTENT = 1000;
>> and replace by
static const int VIEWPORT_EXTENT = 10000;
CMake: add definition KICAD_TESTING_VERSION and KICAD_STABLE_VERSION.
One of these 2 options *must* be now defined (i.e. run cmake with option -DKICAD_STABLE_VERSION or -DKICAD_TESTING_VERSION

user readability.

* Move last sheet pin stored state information into schematic frame object.
* Add Doxygen comments for the sheet pin editing methods.
* Remove specialized edit reference, value, and foot print field methods
from SCH_FRAME object.
* Improve general field method to handle all field types as this was
essentially the same code used in the three methods removed.

edit method.

strings.

items are found at the current cross hair position.

* Add method for returning an item's menu text for menu display purposes.
* Changed EDA_ITEMS container from boost::ptr_vector to std::vector.
* Factor coordinate string conversion code from EDA_DRAW_FRAME to function
CoordinateToString().
F1.) Allows you to disable a component from the Netlist. Useful for connectors etc.
To exclude a component from the Spice Netlist add [Spice_Netlist_Enabled] user FIELD set to: N
F2.) Allows you to adapt to simulation libraries that require the netlist node
sequence to be in a different order. To reorder the component spice node sequence
add [Spice_Node_Sequence] user FIELD and define sequence: 2,1,0 I am using
LTSpice, but this holds true for any SPICE subcircuit.

Note1: Patch maintains existing SpiceNetlister behavior as far as I can tell
------------------------------------------------------------------
Updated Patch from Prior release:
New Changes consists of:
1.) Now allowing user to put in less Nodes then exist on the actual part.
2.) Now echoing Schematic Sheet Netlist components come from. This helps users segment the netlist in to understandable blocks of code that mimic the schematic sheets.
3.) Retested.
* Set default button on all dialogs that do not already have a defined
default button. The only exception is the EESchema net list dialog
