was simply a pointer to an object on the display list. At times this object
would disappear from the display list, in the test case because of a concatonation
of two wires, and if you then tried to clone the non-existent object you'd get a
crash. This was not merely a bug, but a naive design choice. IMO.
Now the item to repeat is cloned, so will never also be on the display list.
Save grid origin in .kicad_pcb files only if not 0,0 (to keep compatibility with previous versions of pcbnew, mainly the stable version)
Very minor other fixes (set modify flag when grid origin is moved from the dialog grid)
*) add hotkey for setting the grid origin as 'S', in board editor, module editor.
*) re-position the function interface for cursor movement from BASE_SCREEN into
class EDA_DRAW_FRAME. This is a prelude to getting rid of BASE_SCREEN or
splitting it up.
Added separate layers for pad netnames (now these are divided into multilayer/top/bottom pads).
More appropriate layers are selecting a copper layer in the high contrast mode (now it shows the copper layer itself, vias & multilayer pads and netnames).
This keeps it out of the KiCad mode path, making that leaner and less confusing about
what is supported in KiCad mode. Within KiCad mode, treat quoted vs. non-quoted tokens
as the two general categories, with non-quoted having sub-categories. Eliminate
an unimplemented, unused function declaration in DSNLEXER.
Improve the output formatting of THROW_PARSE_ERROR().
* Do not fail to build when wxWidgets is built with either --with-gnomeprint
or --with-gtkprint are not configured. Only display warning.
* Move warning code from include/common.h to common/common.cpp so it only
shows the warning once instead of every source file that includes common.h
This is limited to round tripping the lines of commented text in the
loading and saving to disk through PCBIO::Format() and PCBIO::Parse().
No editing of the comments is given.
- VBO_CONTAINER::allocate() was returning wrong value in case of error
- framelimiter had wrong formula for computing destined period between frames
- removed _padding field from VBO_VERTEX, as it was not speeding up, but wasting memory
Removed a few unnecessary variables and fields from OPENGL_GAL.
Added function GAL::ClearCache() for freeing memory used by cached items.
Fixed a few memory leaks (tesselator, PAINTER's settings & VIEW_ITEM's groups).
Changed a few functions into inlines.
and various DIALOG classes called from top frames. See comments in
{eeschema,pcbnew}/invoke_a_dialog.h.
*) Move some dialog classes into *.cpp files from *.h files.
*) void SCH_EDIT_FRAME::OnErc( wxCommandEvent& event ) was opening the modeless
ERC dialog more than once if icon was clicked more than once.
*) Remove BOM stuff.
Eeschema, dialog netlist: fix a bug when removing a plugin panel, when is is not the last.
dialog netlist:Add a predefined command string for python scripts, when creating a new netlist plugin entry.
Shader's parameters are stored in VBO_ITEM. Changed VBO_ITEM data structure. Added UseShader() function for selecting shader for a given VBO_ITEM.
Added one main vertex & fragment shader program to be used for with all kinds of items (type of shader is selected using attributes that are stored in VBO). Currently available shaders are: at-least-1px-width line, filled circle and stroked circle.
Removed unnecessary param (aDepthOffset) from a few functions (OPENGL_GAL::drawSemiCircle(), OPENGL_GAL::drawLineCap()). Removed function OPENGL_GAL::DrawRoundedSegment(). Changed some asserts to debug info or error log.
* Add third list control with library names.
* Add button to toolbar to select filter by library name.
* Add bitmap for filter by library name toolbar button.
* Remove custom UI colors from list controls.
fix potential issue in .kicad_pcb file creation, in some places where a %g or %.16g format was used:
al least under Mingw/gcc4.7.2, the floating number was written using scientific notation, not accepted by the S-expr reader.
* Add footprint library table loading to footprint editor.
* Overload FOOTPRINT_INFO::ReadFootprintFiles() to read footprints from the
footprint library tables.
* Fix a bug in FP_LIB_TABLE::IsEmpty() when the table has a fallback table.
* Add code to FOOTPRINT_EDIT_FRAME to use footprint library tables.
* Add an optional build time version of PCB_EDIT_FRAME::loadFootprints() to
populate netlist footprints from footprint library table.
* Remove adding footprints to board whenever GetModuleLibrary() is called and
move loading locally as required.
* Add missing source file license comments and coding policy fixes.
File "rules" has instructional text as comments near top.
2) Convert all text files in repo to LF line ending form.
Any checkout done with "rules" in play will convert the working
tree to native line ending, while keeping repo as LF line ending.
* Add code for loading, modifying, and saving the global and project
footprint library tables.
* Add code to load MODULE objects using the footprint library table to
the footprint viewer.
* Add static methods to FP_LIB_TABLE to support loading footprint library
tables.
* Fix a bug when full file name and path are passed to FOOTPRINT_INFO::
ReadFootprintFiles() which I created in bug fix lp:593989.
* Fix a wxString debug assertion in EDA_APP::InitEDA_Appl() when the KICAD
environment variable is defined as an empty string.
* Add error dialog when libraries cannot be found in system search path
when loading footprint using the select footprint dialog.
* Add footprint library name column to the EDA_LIST_DIALOG when selecting
footprints from the list.
* Allow reading all columns from the selected row in EDA_LIST_DIALOG.
* Remove redundant sort from EDA_LIST_DIALOG constructor
* Add library name member variable and accessors to FOOTPRINT_INFO.
* Make headers translatable for Eeschema select component from list dialog.
* Add some helper methods to FPID for identifying the FPID type and validity.
* Remove a bunch of trailing whitespace and add missing license comments.
(explanation: float is implicitly promoted to double anyway, it's only useful
for storage; also a fp variable forces conversion of other int in the expression
without needing a cast)
Typo fixes in some comments 'floatting' -> 'floating' :D
The plan goes like this:
- eeschema still uses int in decidegrees
- all the other things internally use double in decidegrees (or radians
in temporaries)
- in pcbnew UI the unit is *still* int in decidegrees
The idea is to have better precision everywhere while keeping the user with int i
angles. Hopefully, if a fractional angle doesn't come in from the outside, everything
should *look* like an integer angle (unless I forgot something and it broke)
When the time comes, simply updating the UI for allowing doubles from the user should
be enough to get arbitrary angles in pcbnew.
* All items shapes are converted to polygons.
* Polygons are merged layer by layer (for calculation time reasons,zones are not merged)
* for copper layers, vias and pads holes are substracted from polygons (but, for calculation time reasons, not inside zones areas).
* the look is better, mainly when displaying the copper thickness
* solder and paste layers are now shown in 3D viewer.
* the code was seriously cleaned (but still needs to be enhanced).
* Note this is a work in progress which needs refinements.
- Removed spurious int casts (these are truncated anyway and will break
doubles)
- Applied the Distance, GetLineLength, EuclideanNorm, DEG2RAD, RAD2DEG
ArcTangente and NORMALIZE* functions where possible
- ArcTangente now returns double and handles the 0,0 case like atan2, so
it's no longer necessary to check for it before calling
- Small functions in trigo moved as inline
* Fixed a bug in PCB_EDIT_FRAME::loadFootprints when no footprint libraries
are found when attempting to load footprints.
* Add a warning to PCB_EDIT_FRAME::loadFootprints to inform the user when
a footprint library file cannot be found in any of the standard library
search paths.
* Changed FOOTPRINT_INFO::m_padCount to unsigned to prevent signed/unsigned
comparison compiler warnings.
* Put NestedSpace() function in netlist_reader.cpp inside conditional debug
build statement to prevent warning in release builds.
In most case the assignment to null was not necessary since it was easily provable that the (local) variable wouldn't have referenced after that anyway.
* Create separate NETLIST object to hold contents of netlist files.
* Read entire netlist and footprint link files before making applying
changes to board.
* Add BOARD::ReplaceNetlist() function to eliminate the calls between the
NETLIST_READER, PCB_EDIT_FRAME, and BOARD objects.
* Change placement of new components below the center of the current board
or in the center of the page if the BOARD is empty.
* Add dry run option to netlist dialog to print changes to message control
without making changes.
* Add button to netlist dialog to allow saving contents of message control
to a file.
* Eliminate the need to compile netlist_reader_*.cpp in both CvPcb and Pcbnew.
* Add netlist_reader_*.cpp to the pcbcommon library.
* Remove redundant load component link file code from CvPcb.
* Modify CvPcb new to work with the new NETLIST_READER object.
* Add compare() function and < and == operators to FPID object.
* Add REPORTER class to hide an underlying string writing implementation for
use in low level objects. Thank you Dick for the idea.
* Lots of minor coding policy, Doxygen comment, and missing license fixes.
Moved switching canvas routines to pcbnew, as they are used only there right now (otherwise libgal would have to be linked to every Kicad application).
Pcbnew: load footprint from modview: Because modview allows user to choose the footprint library, the selected library is forced when the footprint is loaded.
I am not sure this is 100% better, but this new behavior has some advantages, mainly in the footprint editor (you can load a footprint outside the selected library)
bit string version of property_tree. The ram resident structure of the ptree is
mostly compatible with one created using the xml_parser from
boost::property_tree, with slight differences in the way atoms are stored. The
result is you can use Format() to convert from xml to s-expression, but not the
other way around. You can write a simple s-expression beautifier in just a few
lines of code.
The main value however is the s-expression parser, i.e. Scan(), which is an
alternative to crafting a custom recursive descent parser for a particular
grammar. The tipping point depends on whether you want to read only a small
portion of a much larger document. If so, then using the ptree will likely be a
"faster to code" route. Documentation on how to navigate a ptree can be found on
the boost website and there are a number of examples in the
pcbnew/eagle_plugin.cpp file in this project. Powerful path navigation support
makes it easy to extract a subset of a ptree.
New methods in VIEW class: SetTopLayer(), EnableTopLayer() for managing the top layer display.
New method in PCB_RENDER_SETTINGS class: LoadDisplayOptions() for applying display settings like high-contrast, outline display of items, etc.
the spurious warning about stuff that couldn't be seen when changing
colours.
NOTE that the 'net name' layer is present and configurable but non used
anywhere!
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
New classes:
- VIEW - represents view that is seen by user, takes care of layer ordering & visibility and how it is displayed (which location, how much zoomed, etc.)
- VIEW_ITEM - Base class for every item that can be displayed on VIEW (the biggest change is that now it may be necessary to override ViewBBox & ViewGetLayers method for derived classes).
- EDA_DRAW_PANEL_GAL - Inherits after EDA_DRAW_PANEL, displays VIEW output, right now it is not editable (in opposite to usual EDA_DRAW_PANEL).
- GAL/OPENGL_GAL/CAIRO_GAL - Base Graphics Abstraction Layer class + two different flavours (Cairo is not fully supported yet), that offers methods to draw primitives using different libraries.
- WX_VIEW_CONTROLS - Controller for VIEW, handles user events, allows zooming, panning, etc.
- PAINTER/PCB_PAINTER - Classes that uses GAL interface to draw items (as you may have already guessed - PCB_PAINTER is a class for drawing PCB specific object, PAINTER is an abstract class). Its methods are invoked by VIEW, when an item has to be drawn. To display a new type of item - you need to implement draw(ITEM_TYPE*) method that draws it using GAL methods.
- STROKE_FONT - Implements stroke font drawing using GAL methods.
Most important changes to Kicad original code:
* EDA_ITEM now inherits from VIEW_ITEM, which is a base class for all drawable objects.
* EDA_DRAW_FRAME contains both usual EDA_DRAW_PANEL and new EDA_DRAW_PANEL_GAL, that can be switched anytime.
* There are some new layers for displaying multilayer pads, vias & pads holes (these are not shown yet on the right sidebar in pcbnew)
* Display order of layers is different than in previous versions (if you are curious - you may check m_galLayerOrder@pcbnew/basepcbframe.cpp). Preserving usual order would result in not very natural display, such as showing silkscreen texts on the bottom.
* Introduced new hotkey (Alt+F12) and new menu option (View->Switch canvas) for switching canvas during runtime.
* Some of classes (mostly derived from BOARD_ITEM) now includes ViewBBox & ViewGetLayers methods.
* Removed tools/class_painter.h, as now it is extended and included in source code.
Build changes:
* GAL-based rendering option is turned on by a new compilation CMake option KICAD_GAL.
* When compiling with CMake option KICAD_GAL=ON, GLEW and Cairo libraries are required.
* GAL-related code is compiled into a static library (common/libgal).
* Build with KICAD_GAL=OFF should not need any new libraries and should come out as a standard version of Kicad
Currently most of items in pcbnew can be displayed using OpenGL (to be done are DIMENSIONS and MARKERS).
More details about GAL can be found in: http://www.ohwr.org/attachments/1884/view-spec.pdf
include/vector2d.h: Removed old version
include/math/math_util.h: rescale() for VECTOR2
include/math/vector2d.h: New version of VECTOR2
include/math/box2.h: New version of BOX2
common/drawframe.cpp: Refactorization of code, so it is compatible with new classes
include/plot_common.h, pcbnew/basepcbframe.cpp: Changed header inclusion path
CMakeLists.txt: Added definition to turn on WX_COMPATIBILITY for replacement classes
* 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.
* Encapsulate most of the MODULE class.
* Start encapsulating the DIMENSION class.
* Lay some groundwork for EDA_TEXT encapsulation.
* Move cleverly hidden MODULE functions into class_module.cpp.
* Use std::swap to exchange TEXTE_PCB values for undo/redo.
* Remove unused members from MODULE class.
* The usual coding policy and documentation fixes.
* 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.
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.
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.
Still try to find a better fix for Bug #1100876, however I am thinking the bug is not in Kicad:
looks like a buggy version of wxWidgets is used, which sends sometimes an unwanted wxCommandEvent event,
when an event::Check() is called inside a function called by a wxUpdateUIEvent event.
* Improve MSG_PANEL_ITEM to handle message panel information.
* Create containers for passing message panel items between objects and
the message panel.
* Rename EDA_ITEM::DisplayInfo to EDA_ITEM::GetMsgPanelInfo.
* Remove all direct manipulation of EDA_DRAW_FRAME from all objects derived
from EDA_ITEM.
Use wxFormBuilder to create EDA_LIST_DIALOG_BASE, like other dialogs.
Minor code cleanup (remove unused functions and coding style fixes) and minor bug fixes.
* Create new GEDA PCB plug in.
* Add support for opening GEDA PCB footprints with module editor.
* Make import footprint file dialog remember last selected footprint
type during current session.
* Update module editor file import to use new GEDA PCB plug in.
* Let IO_MGR know about GEDA PCB plug in.
* Create a WHITESPACE_FILTER_READER to simplify parsing GEDA PCB footprint
files.
Because now there are 2 formats, board backup files extensions are .brd-bak or .kicad_pcb-bak instead of the old .000 extension, depending on the initial file format.
their type, by using the more abstract PLUGIN::Footprint*() functions.
This is an intermediate phase only, other changes will be necessary as library table support comes in.
Encapsulate usage of library path searching, since that will go away as library table support comes in.
Add FOOTPRINT_EDIT_FRAME::{get,set}LibPath() and FOOTPRINT_EDIT_FRAME::{get,set}LibNickName() functions
to provide this encapsulation.
some functions used in wxWidgets ( like _strdup and few other) are not defined when this option is set.
but the equivalent option -std=gnu++0x works fine so it is used under mingw instead of -std=c++0x.
(Under Linux/OSX the option -std=c++0x is used)
This required the additional compiler command line option "-std=c++0x".
2) Switch to unique_ptr from auto_ptr which is C++ deprecated.
3) Change to new English layer names per mailing list discussion, see class_board.cpp.
4) When saving to *.kicad_pcb or *.kicad_mod, identify opportunities to use wildcard
layer sets, for pads so far.
5) Switch to two std::string hashtables in pcb_parser.cpp, away from one wxString based one
for layer names and layer sets mapping. One hashtable holds the mask, the other the index.
Layer sets are only in the mask table.
6) Move "LOCALE_IO toggle" into PCB_IO::Format() since it is a public API function and
caller should find it as convenient as possible to use. LOCALE_IO should handle
nesting OK in the case where public Format() is called from one of the Footprint*()
functions.
7) Drop support for "export module to new library". Creating new libraries will have to
be handled in concert with library table entries, and we've talked recently about
creating a better footprint library manager, one that resides in a DLL/DSO. So
this kind of functionality needs to be handled in there in the near future.
8) Change name of exported PCB_IO module/footprint to *.kicad_mod and not *.emp.
* If this param is set to 0, the previous behavior is used.
* Else the solder mask is plotted as polygon, with shapes near than this min width value are merged.
Pcbnew in nanometer version: fix a serious rounding issue due to the fact dialogs were using 4 digits for mantissa.
* This is not enough for nanometer coordinates ( 8 are needed to display a value in inches),
* so sometimes after closing a dialog, some coordinates were modified, although no new value was entered.
Minor other bug fixed.
* Add footprint methods to PCB_IO.
* Add FP_CACHE and FP_CACHE_ITEM for handling new footprint library design.
* Add code to save legacy libraries in new format.
* Change behavior of BOARD_ITEM::GetLayerName() to return the default layer
name when the item does not have a BOARD as a parent.
* Minor changes to the module output formatter when writing to module library
files (no BOARD as parent).
* Add new (and some that I forgot along the way) CMake flags to
EDA_BASE_FRAME::CopyVersionInfoToClipboard().
* Add -Wno-narrowing to GCC flags to stop GCC 4.7 from complaining about
a conversion from int to unsigned in the Boost polygon library.
* Add INPUT_STREAM_READER to richio.cpp to allow using any object derived
from wxInputStream as a LINE_READER (needs to be validated).
clean duplicate code.
Simplify HPGL dialog: plot offet removed and replace by only one option (plot origin to center of sheet or not)
This is surely enought.
Mainly to plot drill maps, but can be used to plot boards, for documentation.
The print svg still exists, but the plot SVG has more options (mirroring, holes in pads),
however print svg allows color print, and full board printing, and plot does not.
and therefore tracks are now dragged when a end point is inside a pad, not necessary on the pad position.
However, drag functions still need more cleanup.
Kicad manager: shows now svg files in tree files.
Pcbnew: fix incorrect printing (board out of page) when creating drill map in postscript format ( noticeable mainly for small boards)
* serious code cleanup (remove duplicate code)
* shows (option in 3D preference menu) the copper items (tracks, zones...) in 3D, using 35 microns copper thickness.
However, because there are a lot more3D data to show (roughly 4 times more), this is slower.
connection, no matter if it is originating locally or from the outside
of the host. There is no check in place to discard non-local
connections. The only security against a malicious attack would be
provided by a local firewall, which is not guaranteed to be installed on
every workstation kicad is used on.
I tested this, and a host running eeschema accepts connections on TCP
port 4243 from other hosts on the internet.
A patch to remedy this potentially serious security hole is attached. It
creates the listener on localhost instead. A flag is provided to allow
the creation of sockets on 0.0.0.0 instead, if required. localhost is
the default.
All: press ctrl+shift key when moving the mouse allows the graphic cursor to be moved outside the grid.
(useful to place graphic objects, texts in any position, regardless the current grid)
This is *a work in progress*, so some features are missing, and/or could be modified.
Mainly keepout zones are not yet exported to autorouters, and pads are not taken in account.
Some code cleanup in polygon.*
* Add s-expression file parser object and keyword files.
* Fix minor issues with s-expression file formatting.
* Fix a minor bug the zone container fill state parsing in the legacy plugin.
* Move EDA_TEXT visibility definition to eda_text.h.
* Add minor BOARD_ITEM object improvements to support s-expression file
parser.
