These formats use a defined page size (currently A4), and therefore
the drill list cannot be outside the page.
When there are a lot of drill diameters it can happen.
Now the long lists are plotted on more than one column.
Plot Gerber format default values: X2 attributes enabled.
Gerber job file: use a trick to truncate floating values to 4 digits in mantissa.
It gives a much better readability and 0.1 micron is enough for
mechanical dimensions
Move the camera out to its own so that everything else is board-
related, and then rename BOARD_ADAPTER.
At some point the flags should probably be moved out too, and they
can have the EDA_3D_SETTINGS name.
Previously, all overlapping polygons (pads and min thickness areas to remove) were
merged.
Drawback: pads attributes are lost. In Gerber this is annoying.
Now the pads are plot as flashed or Regions items, and min thickness areas are added
but shapes are not merged and keep their attributes.
the parameter margin percent was badly handled for rectangular/oval pads,
giving an incorrect solder paste shape for non 0.0 values
now it is is correctly handled.
Previously, the region was a usual polygon with arc approximated by segment.
Using a region with arcs is a better way because it allows CAM tools to
identify this region as a round-rect pad.
A side effect is a better shape and smaller files, however not really noticeable in fact.
Please note that the symbol cache is not embedded in the schematic file
to allow for round robin testing with the existing file format. Once
the parser round robin testing is complete, the symbol cache will be
embedded in the schematic file.
Includes improvements to Update PCB from Schematic dialog and
corresponding changes to Symbol Properties, Sheet Properties and
Footprint Properties.

When the solder mask min size is > 0, pads are no longer flashed or regions items.
Good Gerber files need pads flashed or regions items.
Non 0 solder mask min size is reserved to special cases (home made PCBs for instance)
In particular, map the netlist info to the orphaned item, and
adjust the position of module graphic items to no longer be
module-relative.

The board setup dialog controls DRC error visibility, so the
two dialogs shouldn't be open at the same time to prevent
data contention.

By making it quasimodal, it allows the main KiCad window and Eeschema
to be used still, if it were just modal then it blocks out all other
windows.

Springback introduced a new PNS structure to check for valid placement
as well as separating the Fix/Commit routines. This updates the
remaining placers to utilize the new structure.
