They don't define a KiCad string class, so the header file name was
somewhat misleading. But the fact that they didn't match definitely
made coding more difficult.
When doing a schematic cleanup, for instance, we were breaking wires
and pushing undo records on to the stack. Needless to say, this was
pretty unexpected for the rest of the undo framework and caused all
kinds of mayhem (including crashes in some cases).
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/8704
Undo does some fairly major redraws (including setting the current
screen), all of which drop the selection and cancel interactive tools.
Make sure the selection is re-built *after* all those run.

The only subtle difference is that Duplicate() does not modify the
clipboard contents so we need to keep a local variable in which to
store the result of a Copy()
ADDED Paste Special... action in pcbnew
CHANGED Additional options for Paste Special... in eeschema, including
"Assign unique reference designators to pasted instance"
Duplicates are reannotated on paste in the same way in pcbnew and
eeschema such that when copying and pasting the same block in the
pcb and schematic, the reference designators will match.
Save sheet and symbol instance information to the clipboard on copy
Load sheet and symbol instance information from the clipboard on paste
and renumber page numbers after loading.
Correctly handle pasting in a multiple hierarchy by ensuring symbol and
sheet instances are updated for all instances of the destination sheet.

Copy to clipboard save items (using S expr description) using wide strings
(not UTF8 encoding).
But Paste from clipboard was not converting the wide string to UTF8 string
when getting the stored data to send it as std::string to the S expr reader.

1) Generalize SCH_ITEM owners (SCH_COMPONENT, SCH_SHEET, and now
SCH_GLOBALLABEL)
2) Generalize hypertext items
3) Use SCH_FIELD autoplace infrastructure for placing intersheet
references
4) Use textVar infrastructure for buildin intersheet references.
As an important side-effect this also fixes the undo issues with
intersheet refs.
The groundwork has now been laid for per sheet instance data. Initially
this only supports sheet page numbers but could be expanded to include
other per sheet instance information.
ADDED: Support for user defined schematic page numbers.
* Make the app progress indicator only have the indeterminate state
when the taskbar indicator is used (causes an uused variable warning
on wx<3.1)
* Remove unused dry run variable in pcb_netlist.h
* Remove unused forceDropAnnotations from the paste special dialog
since the dialog only controls keeping them.
Note: this is a basic implementation but it could be
improved once we include bus information in the netlist
and pcbnew can natively keep track of buses and nets
instead of just nets.

Set up a new lineage for SCH_ITEMS to get back to the SCHEMATIC
they live on: Items will all be parented to the SCH_SCREEN that
they are added to, and each SCH_SCREEN will point back to the
SCHEMATIC that it is part of. Note that this hierarchy is not
the same as the actual schematic hierarchy, which continues to
be managed through SCH_SHEETs and SCH_SHEET_PATHS.
Add required library symbols to new file formatter and parser when copying
schematic symbols to prevent missing library symbol when pasting into a
different schematic which may not have the same library symbol available.
Fix a minor bug where the default schematic symbol reference was not set
by the parser when loading.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/4442
This is a very large and potentially disruptive change so this will be an
unusually long and detailed commit message.
The new file formats are now the default in both the schematic and symbol
library editors. Existing symbol libraries will be saved in their current
format until new features are added to library symbols. Once this happens,
both the legacy schematic and symbol file formats will be no longer be
savable and existing libraries will have to be converted. Saving to the
legacy file formats is still available for round robin testing and should
not be used for normal editing.
When loading the legacy schematic file, it is imperative that the schematic
library symbols are rescued and/or remapped to valid library identifiers.
Otherwise, there will be no way to link to the original library symbol and
the user will be required manually set the library identifier. The cached
symbol will be saved in the schematic file so the last library symbol in
the cache will still be used but there will be no way to update it from the
original library.
The next save after loading a legacy schematic file will be converted to
the s-expression file format. Schematics with hierarchical sheets will
automatically have all sheet file name extensions changed to .kicad_sym
and saved to the new format as well.
Appending schematics requires that the schematic to append has already been
converted to the new file format. This is required to ensure that library
symbols are guaranteed to be valid for the appended schematic.
The schematic symbol library symbol link resolution has been moved out of
the SCH_COMPONENT object and move into the SCH_SCREEN object that owns the
symbol. This was done to ensure that there is a single place where the
library symbol links get resolved rather than the dozen or so different
code paths that previously existed. It also removes the necessity of the
SCH_COMPONENT object of requiring any knowledge of the symbol library table
and/or the cache library.
When opening an s-expression schematic, the legacy cache library is not
loaded so any library symbols not rescued cannot be loaded. Broken library
symbol links will have to be manually resolved by adding the cache library
to the symbol library table and changing the links in the schematic symbol.
Now that the library symbols are embedded in the schematic file, the
SCH_SCREEN object maintains the list of library symbols for the schematic
automatically. No external manipulation of this library cache should ever
occur.
ADDED: S-expression schematic and symbol library file formats.
CHANGED: Settings are now stored in versioned sub-directories
ADDED: First-run dialog for migrating settings from a previous version
CHANGED: Settings are now stored as JSON files instead of wxConfig-style INI files
CHANGED: Color settings are now all stored in a separate settings file
CHANGED: The symbol editor and footprint editor now have their own settings files
CHANGED: Color settings are no longer exposed through BOARD object
CHANGED: Page layout editor now uses Eeschema's color scheme
Settings are now managed through a central SETTINGS_MANAGER held by PGM_BASE.
Existing settings will be migrated from the wxConfig format on first run of each application.
Per-application settings are now stored in one class for each application.
ADDED: Back annotation algorithm,
eeschema back annotation dialog
CHANGED: added some minor helper methods to SCH_REFERENCE_LIST and SCH_REFERENCE,
split SCH_REFERENCE_LIST::CheckAnnotation on 2 parts to reuse code
This also removes vector cover types which do nothing except obfuscate
the underlying implementation.
Mainly changes SCH_SHEET_PINS and CONFIG_PARAM_ARRAY (which will soon
be replaced by Jon's new stuff).
This moves EESchema DLIST structures to rtree. These changes are more
fundamental than the pcbnew changes from 9163ac543888c01d11d1877d7c1
and 961b22d60 as eeschema operations were more dependent on passing
drawing list references around with SCH_ITEM* objects.
* Split up the thirdparty code into the thirdparty folder (#3637)
* Create a new kimath static library containing all the math functions
This is part of cleaning the build system for #1906.
ADD: User can now decide to keep the hierarchy navigator open while working
on a schematic.
This behavior can be configured in eeschema->preferences->eeschema->Editing options.
The new connectivity algorithm had a tendency to cleanup
globally, but that could insert undo records from other sheets
into the current screen's undo stack. Needless to say, this
was a recipie for segfaults.

1) don't ASSERT; use exceptions (which can be caught) instead.
2) clean up LIB_LOGGER so it's only used during sync
3) fix typos in wxLogMessage() calls so they produce output.
4) throw on unrecognized token in loadContent().
5) if clipboard can't be pasted as content then paste as text.

1) Add highlighting to simProbe and simTune tools.
2) Probe tool should accept wires and pins, not wires and components.
3) Give simulator window a flat look to match rest of Kicad.
4) Collapse whitespace out of simulator window.
5) Add some error messages.
6) Add some whitespace to simulation setting dialog.
Because the pickers are called with an Activate()/Wait() pair, any
usurping tool gets in between the picker handling the cancel (due
to activation) and the picker client doing a PopTool(). The new
tool is therefore pushed before the old tool is popped.
Fixes: lp:1835907
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1835907
We were running into various corner conditions where a tool's event
loop would exit while the tool was still active, or the tool would
get popped while we were still in the event loop. (A lot of these
had to do with the POINT_EDITOR's, but not all of them.)
The new architecture:
1) tools always do a Push()/Pop()
2) everyone is responsible for their own pops; no more stack-clearing
on a cancel
3) CancelInteractive events go to all tools to facilitate (2)
It's a bit of a hack because they're statically initialized and
so we can't make use of the _() macro. We do still want it in the
code, however, because the string harvesting is based off of it.

There are a whole bunch of cases which all have to work:
regular move
move followed by drag
drag followed by move
move followed by duplicate
duplicate
paste
and all both with and without Warp Mouse on Move checked.
If you construct wxTimer statically, it will be constructed
before WX init, which means you might get assertions about
missing m_impl's within the timer class.
The solution is to construct the wxTimer at run time. In this
case, static within the function will be constructed only after
the function is called (and actually the scope only needed to be
this function anyway).
