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
* PCBNew remembers last net list read during the current editing session
as well as between project editing sessions. Closes bug 576902.

allocate them dynamically instead of statically to make it easier to
eliminate global variables.

device and drawing units.

* Remove wxAUI conditional build cruft as it is now required to build
Kicad.

zoom center position.

* Eliminate duplicate menu and tool bar command IDs.
* Split component library editor and viewer definitions to separate header files.
* More component library and document file merge code.
* A bunch of minor string readability and consistency fixes.
* Created separate SVN version header.

* Change project file parameter container from wxArray to boost::vector_ptr.
* Removed lots of redundant header definitions.
* Fixed green_xpm redefinition in ercgreen.xpm.
* Remove some dead code and unnecessary class methods.
* All: remove all remaining occurrences of g_DialogFont and dialog font menu handers.
* All: remove all remaining non-standard fonts and button text colors from common dialogs.
* PCBNew: remove all non-standard fonts and button text colors from dialogs.
* PCBNew: update project library and path dialog to match changes to CVPCB version.
* EESchema: update project library and path dialog to match changes to CVPCB version.
* EESchema: save vertical/horizontal line direction setting between sessions.
* Add default OS program install path(s) to search path list as fail safe.
* Remove unnecessary wxGetApp calls in WinEDA_App class methods.
* Remove non-standard message panel font and changed background to system menu color.
* Remove italic fonts from menus.
* Remove non-standard font in Kicad app project tree.
* Remove font selection dialog menu items from apps for removed fonts.
* Remove all global variables and settings associated with the removed fonts.
* Fixed PCBNew export and import library file dialog response tests from wxCANCEL to wxID_CANCEL.
caused by prematurely deleting the module editor's m_Pcb pointer, which has the same value (points to the same structure) as
g_ModuleEditor_Pcb hence should not be
deleted.
pads option.) Haven't fixed the via issue
(since I don't quite understand why it is doing this, nor does it occur in 100% of the cases), but now you can just
turn
off magnetic tracks when I desire to move vias by small increments. Magnetic tracks are on by default. Original
via complaint here:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/kicad-devel/message/1155
Also mostly gotten rid of the annoying "Unable to drag this segment: two collinear segments" error. Now, if two
(or more) segments are collinear, they are merged into one equivalent segment when you try to drag them while
maintaining slope. I can't imagine any cases where this would be a bad thing (and I have plenty of experience where
the error was not desired!). Note I say *mostly* because there still seem to be some length=1 (e.g. 0.003mm) segments
at the end of valid-length segments. I do not want to remove them because this would change the board layout, though
in a basically imperceptible way. We could maybe have an option to clean & remove these minimal-length segments, but
I worry that they serve to connect things slightly off grid & those things on-grid; also, removal may cause DRC
errors. It would be good if we could avoid their creation.(?)
* backspace key now deletes segments and vias both while editing a new track and while
modifying old ones
* internal layers can be accessed via F5-F8
* when creating a new trace, switching between layers with the Pageup, PageDown, and
F5-F8 hotkeys inserts a via. (warning: i did not test this with blind vias; however, it
calls Other_Layer_Route, so should still work)
* spelling fix
