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
* Some bugs fixed
* Starting enhancements in Libedit: menubar and commands to "plot" current component in PNG or SVF file (SVG file not fully working, must be refined)
* Replaced find dialog with wxFormBuilder version.
* New find dialog is modeless, supports more advanced search features,
remembers it's last position, size, search history, and search settings,
and implements initial support for replacing.
* Added Shift+F5 hot key to search for next DRC marker. F5 now just
repeats previous search.
* Minor cosmetic enhancements to label edit dialog.
* Remove tab from grid size text printf to fix toolbar grid combobox
display in wxGTK.
* Updated my TODO list items.
* Component library objects renamed for improved readability.
* Fields now move when selected in library editor.
* Add copy constructor to all library draw and library component objects.
* Added copy constructor to EDA_BaseStruct.
* Delete base screen in WinEDA_DrawFrame destructor to prevent potential memory leak.
* Fixed memory access bug when replacing and adding a component to library.
* Moved library component block manipulation code into component object.
* Removed all of the global variables used by the library editor main window object.
* The usual code cleaning and refactoring.

+eeschema
* commiting my changes to allow multiple instances of a given schematic file within
a hierarchy:
** internally, m_currentScreen has been replaced with m_currentSheet,
which is a list or 'path' of screens. The path of screens is used to
generate
a series of timestamps, which is converted to flat component reference via
a look-up
table in the schematic files.
** this means that m_currentScreen is no longer used -- use GetScreen().
** GetScreen is virtual, as some of the dialogs keep around a WinEDA_BaseScreen
pointer.
** all sub-sheets in a given schematic must have different names to generate a
meaningful netlist.
