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.
Refactored code that handled zooming events.
Added PCB_RENDER_SETTINGS::Get/SetSketchMode().
PCBNEW_CONTROL reacts to hot keys changing display modes (sketch via/tracks, high contrast).
! The initial testing of this commit should be done using a Debug build so that
all the wxASSERT()s are enabled. Also, be sure and keep enabled the
USE_KIWAY_DLLs option. The tree won't likely build without it. Turning it
off is senseless anyways. If you want stable code, go back to a prior version,
the one tagged with "stable".
* Relocate all functionality out of the wxApp derivative into more finely
targeted purposes:
a) DLL/DSO specific
b) PROJECT specific
c) EXE or process specific
d) configuration file specific data
e) configuration file manipulations functions.
All of this functionality was blended into an extremely large wxApp derivative
and that was incompatible with the desire to support multiple concurrently
loaded DLL/DSO's ("KIFACE")s and multiple concurrently open projects.
An amazing amount of organization come from simply sorting each bit of
functionality into the proper box.
* Switch to wxConfigBase from wxConfig everywhere except instantiation.
* Add classes KIWAY, KIFACE, KIFACE_I, SEARCH_STACK, PGM_BASE, PGM_KICAD,
PGM_SINGLE_TOP,
* Remove "Return" prefix on many function names.
* Remove obvious comments from CMakeLists.txt files, and from else() and endif()s.
* Fix building boost for use in a DSO on linux.
* Remove some of the assumptions in the CMakeLists.txt files that windows had
to be the host platform when building windows binaries.
* Reduce the number of wxStrings being constructed at program load time via
static construction.
* Pass wxConfigBase* to all SaveSettings() and LoadSettings() functions so that
these functions are useful even when the wxConfigBase comes from another
source, as is the case in the KICAD_MANAGER_FRAME.
* Move the setting of the KIPRJMOD environment variable into class PROJECT,
so that it can be moved into a project variable soon, and out of FP_LIB_TABLE.
* Add the KIWAY_PLAYER which is associated with a particular PROJECT, and all
its child wxFrames and wxDialogs now have a Kiway() member function which
returns a KIWAY& that that window tree branch is in support of. This is like
wxWindows DNA in that child windows get this member with proper value at time
of construction.
* Anticipate some of the needs for milestones B) and C) and make code
adjustments now in an effort to reduce work in those milestones.
* No testing has been done for python scripting, since milestone C) has that
being largely reworked and re-thought-out.
* Removed Pcb_Frame argument from BOARD() constructor, since it precludes
having a BOARD being edited by more than one editor, it was a bad design.
And this meant removing m_PcbFrame from BOARD.
* removed BOARD::SetWindowFrame(), and BOARD::m_PcbFrame
* Removed the global BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS which was in class_board.cpp
* added BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS to the BOARD class, a full instance
* a couple dialogs now only change BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS when OK is pressed,
such as dialog_mask_clearance, dialog_drc, etc.
* Removed common/pcbcommon.cpp's int g_CurrentVersionPCB = 1 and replaced it
with build_version.h's #define BOARD_FILE_VERSION, although there may be a
better place for this constant.
* Made the public functions in PARAM_CFG_ARRAY be type const.
void SaveParam(..) const and void ReadParam(..) const
* PARAM_CFG_BASE now has virtual destructor since we have various way of
destroying the derived class and boost::ptr_vector must be told about this.
* Pass const PARAM_CFG_ARRAY& instead of PARAM_CFG_ARRAY so that we can use
an automatic PARAM_CFG_ARRAY which is on the stack.\
* PCB_EDIT_FRAME::GetProjectFileParameters() may no longer cache the array,
since it has to access the current BOARD and the BOARD can change.
Remember BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS are now in the BOARD.
* Made the m_BoundingBox member private, this was a brutally hard task,
and indicative of the lack of commitment to accessors and object oriented
design on the part of KiCad developers. We must do better.
Added BOARD::GetBoundingBox, SetBoundingBox(), ComputeBoundingBox().
* Added PCB_BASE_FRAME::GetBoardBoundingBox() which calls BOARD::ComputeBoundingBox()
* All header files used to create the PCB common library now compile as
stand alone code. This prevents the need to define them in a specific
order to make source code compile properly. It should also now be
possible to relocate the source code to build the common PCB library
to a separate folder.
* Move various locate functions into the appropriate board item object.
* Unified best zoom for all frames derived from PCB_BASE_FRAME.
* Remove track.cpp as it is no longer needed.
* Dead code removal.
* Remove scary frame window pointer member from board item objects.
* Add draw bounding box to gerber draw item for debugging purposes.
* Changed <wx-2.8/xml/xml.h> to "xnode.h" in pcbnew_config.cpp to fix bug
when building against wxWidgets 2.9 and above.
* Convert broken wxXmlNode code to use XNODE.
* Overloaded XNODE constructor for creating child nodes.
* Translate French naming conventions.
* Translate French comments.
* Remove tabs from several source files.
* Coding style policy and Doxygen comment fixes.
* Check user write permissions before saving project, board, and footprint
library files.
* Append read only to file name and path in title bar when the user
does not have write privileges.
* Rename class WinEDA_ModuleEditFrame to FOOTPRINT_EDIT_FRAME.
* Lot's of Doxygen comment and coding style policy fixes.
* Remove clearance and net class name read only text boxes from PCBNew
auxiliary tool bar.
* Display full net class information in message panel when an object that
supports net classes is selected.
* Move coordinate string conversion function to EDA_DRAW_FRAME object and
made it more versatile.
* Refresh message panel text when units change.
* Fix grid select box update bug on context menu.
* Fix via size and track width select box update bugs.
* Fix layer pair indicator button update bug.
* Fix auto track width tool bar control enable bug.
* Fix via size and track width select status bug in context menu.
* Fix layer select box and layer control widget select bug when current
layer is removed.
* Add virtual function to notify objects derived from EDA_DRAW_FRAME that
the units setting has changed.
* Coding policy class naming fixes.
* Old control state handling code completely removed in all applications.
* Factor common control state handlers into EDA_DRAW_FRAME.
* Replaced EDA_ITEM test for newness with IsNew() method.
* Factor vertical right toolbar command handlers out of giant edit command
switch statement in EESchema and PCBNew.
* Encapsulate file name member of base screen object.
* Encapsulate associated screen member of schematic sheet object.
* Create add screen method to schematic sheet object to simplify setting
the associated screen.
* Move the change file name code in the schematic sheet object to the edit
sheet method in the schematic editor frame object to eliminate message
dialogs.
* Improve reference counting in schematic screen object.
* Add helper type definitions for changing schematic object storage to C++
containers.
* Fixed clipping bug when USE_WX_ZOOM is enabled that causes rats nest
to be drawn incorrectly.
* Fix ambiguous function error in trigo.cpp when building with MSVS.
* Add instructions for building wxWidgets with graphics context
enabled (GDI+) using MinGW/MSYS to COMPILING.txt.
* Initial EESchema find dialog work.
* Set modified flag when using PCBNew global deletion dialog to prevent
closing without warning user of changes.
* in variable names, change non existent word Hight to High
* Remove redundant tool in left toolbar (option toolbar)
(this option is now in layers manager)
* Show layers in horizontal combo box in same order as in layer manager.
++all:
minor code cleaning.
* Create single event handler for grid size events.
* Fix all frame windows to use new grid size event handler.
* Use offset relative to ID instead of ComboBox index to save last grid size.
* Move last grid size load/save setting into WinEDA_DrawFrame.
* Add equality and assignment operators the GRID_TYPE.
* Add current grid helper methods to BASE_SCREEN.
* Add GetPins helper to LIB_COMPONENT to replace GetNextPin where applicable.
* Add AppendMsgPanel helper to WinEDA_DrawFrame.
* Improve rounding for display of coordinates when millimeter units are selected.
