eeschema now supports arbitrary colors for all object types, and
pcbnew does in GAL canvas. When switching from GAL to legacy canvas,
pcbnew will convert colors to the nearest legacy color.
This option is not yet activated because the net attributes are not yet fully fixed by Ucamco, in Gerber file format specifications.
(To activate it, see dialog_plot.cpp, line 43)
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.
* Move EDA_TEXT object into separate header and source file.
* Compile EDA_TEXT class separately for BOARD_ITEM and SCH_ITEM units.
* Compile PAGE_INFO class separately for BOARD_ITEM and SCH_ITEM units.
* Minor formatting tweaks to Pcbnew s-expression file.
* Move internal unit formatting functions into BOARD_ITEM and SCH_ITEM.
This feature is very useful for electronics hobbyists who use DIY PCB technology
(both toner transfer and photoresist methods).
Also width correction may be useful for PCB designers who take care of track width etching.
This patch also fixes some minor PS plotting issues.
* Correct all user strings and comments for the correct capitalization of
application names according to JP. They are KiCad, Pcbnew, CvPcb,
Eeschema, and GerbView.
* Add a note the the user interface policy about the correct capitalization.
