Pcbnew, layer manager: add option (popup menu) to always keep copper layers not visible but the active layer, even when the active layer is changed.
Usefull for multilayer ( more than 4 layers) PCBs.
In particular the new mechanism for handling extended color palettes is in place,
included renaming the ini keys and saving the color name instead of its index; this means better forward compatibility with palette changes.
Since ini keys are changed, colors will be reset
* Complete encapsulation of the ZONE_CONTAINER class.
* Fixed a bug in the EDA_TEXT::Format() default effects behavior due to
improper conversion to internal units and missing test for default
thickness.
* Improved grammar of some Pcbnew context menu strings.
* Moved some more cleverly hidden BOARD object methods into class_board.cpp.
* Lots of coding policy and documentation fixes.
* Complete encapsulation of the MODULE class.
* Complete encapsulation of the EDA_TEXT class.
* Encapsulate most of the ZONE_CONTAINER class.
* Add pcbcommon library as a dependency for reSWIGging the scripting
support. This should cover most dependency cases.
* Make Pcbnew net list dialog honor escape key on Linux.
* Make Pcbnew swap layers dialog honor escape key on Linux.
* Layout and UI policy fixes for Pcbnew swap layer and net list dialogs.
* Layout and UI policy fixes for Eeschema plot dialog.
* Rename fpip.h to fpid.h.
* Fix FPID class compiler errors.
* Restore fpid.cpp to Pcbnew static library source list.
All: For new zoom centering option: use Shift+Ctrl key instead of Alt key to select the new zoom centering, because Alt key has a special function under Windows.
2 very minor other changes.
the crosshair after zooming.
This method is only used when the ALT key is held while using the mousewheel or
if it's permanently enabled in the options dialog next to the middle mouse
button panning option.
* Improve the stable and testing build version option logic.
* Use CMake FindPythonInterp to configure the Python interpreter.
* Use Python interpreter to determine the system Python module install
path if not already defined on the command line.
* Add header symbol checks for asinh(), acosh(), and atanh().
* Add test source to check for isinf() which can be defined as a C++template.
* Replace conditional compile on windows systems for aXXXh() with CMake
configuration tests.
* A few minor MSVC compile fixes.
* Fix incorrect python environment string in fixswigimports.py
* Create a separate document for KiCad CMake build options.
* Create a separate how to compile KiCad on Windows document.
Pcbnew: in netlist dialog: The user now can choose between the netlist and the .cmp file to import footprints names.
Therfore no need to delete the .cmp file when exists to use only the netlist.
This is useful for users who use CvPcb only once to fill footprints fields in schematic, and after edit/modify the footprints fields in schematic outside CvPcb.
Segment Hit Test: enhanced detection near segment ends (noticeable for instance when clicking on short tracks in Pcbnew.
Remove duplicate code about segment hit test.
remove unused file.
