Previously, acute angles (especially small angles) in zone outlines create incorrect shapes and sometimes strange shapes for clearance areas, when using generic algorithms.
This happens when zones outlines have "spikes", but not usually for smooth outlines.
* auto-save was broken for all sub sheets with are in a sub-directory of the project directory. (reason wxFileName::Normalize(), used to create the absolute path has issues with filenames starting by '$', perhaps due to env var which also start by $). the auto-save prefix is modified ( now AUTOSAVE_PREFIX_FILENAME which defines "_save_" ) and defined only once.
* auto-save files from sub-sheets were not found due to the fact the path was not set (fixed by Blair Bonnet's patch)
added the example gen_gerber_and_drill_files_board.py in demos, which shows how to do that.
Fix a Printf format issue (shown in Debug mode) in Libedit (%d used for a size_t, changed in %zu)
Fix a i18n issue in field names when loading a component, if the language was changed during a session, and kicad not restarted (see Bug #1448654).
However changing the language needs restarting kicad, in order to have all messages or menus translated.
* Add code to test if any of the components in the schematic cache have been changed
in the component libraries.
* Prompt user to accept or reject components when changes are found.
* If the user chooses to use the components in the cache, create a new library with the old
components and add it to the beginning of the component library list so the schematic will
not be changed.
* Create dialogs to handle user feedback and status.
* Use "Close" in the file menu of every main frame window instead of the
mismatch of the terms "Close", "Exit", and "Quit".
* Change the terminology in the Pcbnew graphic text edit dialog to match the
module text edit dialog.
* Improve the layout of the Pcbnew graphic text dialog.
* Fix some wxPrintf parameter type assertions for 64 bit time_t.
* Fix all (at least I think I got all of them) duplicate menu accelerator
characters.
Now these parameters are stored in user config, not project config ( they are not really related to a given project, they are just a setup during an edition),
and the schematic editor and the component editor have now separate parameters, because they are separate editors with different constraints.
component editor: repeat pin enhancement (from and idea of Edward Johns)
Previously, only the lib named "power" was used (and therefore power parts defined in other libs not shown).
Now, all power parts can be loaded from any library.
Also, when loading power parts from the chose component dialog or the lib viewer, libs and parts are filtered: only power parts and libs containing power parts are listed.
Hotkeys: move a few global strings in the files where ther are actually used (and make them local.) and code cleaning.
Fix a few other minor issues.
* The SCH_COLLECTOR m_foundItems was being obsoleted after a pin name search.
If a library edit changed the found pin name, the cache still held the now
missing library pin and would segfault on next search due to the cache being
out of date.
This is due to the fact static strings flagged translated ( _("string") notation) are not translated when they are static only if they are not inside a dll.
When they are static inside a dll, the dictionary is already loaded, and the constructor translate them.
Therefore they can be translated twice in dialogs are calling wxGetTranslation to show them, if the application is run from kicad.
But if the application is run as stand alone, the translation is made only once (as expected).
Fix minor 3D viewer issues (includling change number of segments and its optimization to draw pad holes.)
Fix Bug #1439132 (track and via list on toolbar not always refresh after loading a board).
Remove useless tool in Modedit.
* Add footprint and drop table from the Pcbnew footprint library table menu
entry to make it clear to new users.
* Add component to the Eeschema library configuration menu entry.
legacy plugin: better compatibility with old brd files (current track width and current vias size, stored in SETUP section, were not read from file and incorrectly set)
Eeschema now uses dashed lines for graphic lines (to be consistent with plot functions and toolbal icon).
Fix an old bug in some envionments which warp the mouse on a bad monitor when opening eeschema, pcbnew and some other windows, only noticeable guys who are lucky enough to have more than one monitor.
Move items rework: enhancements: for some items (sheets, components, bus entries) the mouse cursor is no more wrapped to the anchor. For large symbols, this is better: they are more easy to place.
There is also a change when starting a move item command: the full screen is redraw, and therefore there is no artifact due to the XOR draw mode.
Some other minor coverity fixes (uninitialized members).
* move not shared files (sch_item_struct.*, sch_base_frame.h) to eeschema;
* move wxEeschemaStruct.h to eeschema and rename it schframe.h to be consistent with the other corresponding file name schframe.cpp;
* remove few not needed #include
Rename eeschema/dialogs/dialog_sch_find.fbp to dialog_schematic_find_base.fbp, to be consistent with other dialogs.
Pcbnew run from the project manager: add menu Save Copy As..., which is the same command as Save As ... in stand alone mode, but with the constraints of a project (no cwd change, no board filename change, and keep project settings)
- the net file now has all project sheet title block using node 'sheets' and 'sheet'
- Updated bom_with_title_block_2_csv. Note, its only going to output the root title block.
- corrected the code that violated the code policy. i.e. added the extra space to make the code more readable
- Restored bom2csv.xsl to its original form
- Added bom_with_title_block_2_csv.xsl which has the new BOM generator.
For example:
- Company name
- Project title
- issue date
- Revision
- Comment 1 to 4
- updated bom2csv.xsl plugin to take advatage of the extra project information that the net file now outputs.
Overall this improvement will make it easier to automatically make controlled and traceable documents.
