In polygon calculations (combining polygons, fracture) the mode of calculation (fast or strictly simple polygon option) as no more a default value, because choosing the best mode is better to optimize the calculation time.
In 3D viewer, this option can take a *very long* calculation time (minutes instead of seconds, or hangs) and they are now using aFastMode = true to do polygon calculations, especially for zones inside zones belong to the same net but having different priority (which creates weak polygons).
aFastMode = false is the default for other calculations (zone filling) as before.
Fix some issues in filling zones normals.
Fix an issue with some models that have materials but didn't defined the diffuse color.
Workaround for Bug #1443431.
Implement some missing "code logic" for pervertexperface normals.
Remove some not used functions.
Calculate normals using double type.
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.
wxUpdateUIEvent events can be sent to parent frames, when opening a menu in a child frame, if parent and child frame share same ID fro menuitems (or tools)
The wrong menuitem can be used in some cases ( because there are more than one menuitem with the same identifier), by a wxUpdateUIEvent event function run in a parent frame.
2) Change from legacy Cu stack to counting down from top=(F_Cu or 0).
The old Cu stack required knowing the count of Cu layers to make
sense of the layer number when converting to many exported file types.
The new Cu stack is more commonly used, although ours still gives
B_Cu a fixed number.
3) Introduce class LSET and enum LAYER_ID.
4) Change *.kicad_pcb file format version to 4 from 3.
5) Change fixed names Inner1_Cu-Inner14_Cu to In1_Cu-In30_Cu and their
meanings are typically flipped.
6) Moved the #define LAYER_N_* stuff into legacy_plugin.cpp where they
can die a quiet death, and switch to enum LAYER_ID symbols throughout.
7) Removed the LEGACY_PLUGIN::Save() and FootprintSave() functions.
You will need to convert to the format immediately, *.kicad_pcb and
*.kicad_mod (=pretty) since legacy format was never going to know
about 32 Cu layers and additional technical layers and the reversed Cu
stack.
This workaround was already used (bzr 4301, in file plot_board_layers.cpp) also to avoid similar crashes (uses 18 segments instead of 16 to approximate a circle by segments).
Minor code cleanup in dialog_plot.
