* Now link with XML support within wxWidgets.
* Start of export the generic netlist in XML. Still need to rework the chain
loaded netlist plugin.
* OBJ_CMP_TO_LIST class now uses a std::string to hold the 8 bit string m_Ref,
but hides this behind accessors which provide for both Unicode and 8 bit
set and get functions.
* build_BOM.cpp retains the selected filename on subsequent runs as a default.
* Code cleaning, especially in build_BOM.cpp.
Fixed some minor translation issues (different help texts for the same command in tools and menus).
minor code cleaning.
fixed minor warnings in debug mode.
Fixed some issues with wxWidgets 2.9.1 (fixed Gerbview and Pcbnew crashes under Linux when starting. Could explain also crashes under MACOSX)
Code cleaning.
pcbnew:
Added experimental zone fill calculations with boost::polygon
old file zones_convert_brd_items_to_polygons.cpp has now 2 versions:
zones_convert_brd_items_to_polygons_with_Boost.cpp use boost::polygon to calculate filled areas
zones_convert_brd_items_to_polygons_with_BKbool.cpp use kbool (code cleaned).
>>> to use boost polygon version:
call cmake with option: -DUSE_BOOST_POLYGON_LIBRARY=ON
Eeschema: added patches from Yuri Khalyavin
Fixed compil warning under wxWidgets 2.9.1.
File beautification
Statring using wxTextEntryDialog instead of Get_Message (because Get_Message does not handle properly cancel option)
inches and mm, the industry is crazy enough to force us with mixed
design. For example I routinely use imperial units for track size and
clearance, but drilling is strictly a metric issue...
So I added a little parser to recognize a suffix specification in the
unit text boxes... so you can put in things like:
1in (1 inch)
1" (idem)
25th (25 thou)
25mi (25 mils, the same)
6mm (6 mm, obviously)
The rules are: spaces between the number and the unit are accepted, only
the first two letters are significant.
As a bonus, it also recognize the period (.) as a decimal point
substituting it with the correct locale character (there was a wishlist
for it, IIRC). Most useful for number pad fans :D
