You can trigger it before this fix by running Cvpcb when a .kicad_mod file is
incorrectly set as "Legacy" in your footprint table.
(cherry picked from commit e269b5d1b9)
It's too expensive to fetch the timestamps when the github
server is busy. See Dick Hollenbeck's comments at the top of
github_plugin.cpp for more info.
Also adds some safety to the other caching algorithms after
seeing github_plugin's wild-west usage of the kicad_plugin.
Fixes: lp:1753143
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1753143
Allow partial library reads in libraries that support footprint per file.
This includes the KiCad and GEDA footprint libraries.
Allow for partially cached libraries rather than ignoring all valid files
when an error occurs.
- DIALOG_CHOOSE_COMPONENT has footprint select widget
- FOOTPRINT_SELECT_WIDGET
- FOOTPRINT_CHOICE widget (customized wxComboCtrl)
- FOOTPRINT_FILTER class
- FOOTPRINT_INFO rework:
- FOOTPRINT_ASYNC_LOADER to load without freezing UI
- Rewrite loader threads as queue-driven thread pool
- Make FOOTPRINT_INFO available via kiway
- FP_LIB_TABLE::PrefetchLib
- Access to global fp-lib-table via kiway
- SYNC_QUEUE threadsafe queue template
- Remove KICAD_FOOTPRINT_SELECTOR build option
Currently, kicad_pcb files have a (version ...) tag, but it is ignored. This
commit does the following:
1. Parse the version. If it's later than the last supported version, present an
alternative error message suggesting an upgrade if the file does not load
correctly. The version will be interpreted as an integer YYYYMMDD to suggest
a KiCad release date.
2. Accept a (version ...) tag also in kicad_mod files, but do not write them
yet. If no version tag is present in these files, assume the version to be that
of the current format version at the time of this commit.
This is meant to be merged to the 4.x stable series, and preps for KiCad 5
which will start emitting version tags also in footprints - users with what
will then be 'old stable' will not get a parse error when we introduce this for
footprints, and we can safely increment the format version later.
* Prevent libcurl from inadvertently being initialized twice.
* Dynamically load libcurl only when required.
* Reduce the number of worker threads when loading footprint libraries to
prevent issues with the GitHub plugin.
* Fix unitialized variable in MSG_PANEL_ITEM default ctor.
* Fix a bunch of uncaught exception issues.
* Fix a memory leak in the NETLIST_READER::GetNetlistReader() when an
an attempt to read an invalid net list file occurs.
comment for GITHUB_PLUGIN which should flow into Doxygen output.
*) Rewrote:
PCB_BASE_FRAME::Save_Module_In_Library(): now uses fp-lib-table and PROPERTIES.
PCB_EDIT_FRAME::ArchiveModulesOnBoard(): now can archive to any writable library type.
PCB_BASE_FRAME::SelectLibrary(): is now generic for selecting a library, not just the active library.
*) Move button handlers to LEFT MOUSE CLICK from COMMAND events, so wxGrid focus is not lost.
*) Sketch out the concept of COW support for the GITHUB_PLUGIN in its @todo.
