In particular the new mechanism for handling extended color palettes is in place,
included renaming the ini keys and saving the color name instead of its index; this means better forward compatibility with palette changes.
Since ini keys are changed, colors will be reset
New classes:
- VIEW - represents view that is seen by user, takes care of layer ordering & visibility and how it is displayed (which location, how much zoomed, etc.)
- VIEW_ITEM - Base class for every item that can be displayed on VIEW (the biggest change is that now it may be necessary to override ViewBBox & ViewGetLayers method for derived classes).
- EDA_DRAW_PANEL_GAL - Inherits after EDA_DRAW_PANEL, displays VIEW output, right now it is not editable (in opposite to usual EDA_DRAW_PANEL).
- GAL/OPENGL_GAL/CAIRO_GAL - Base Graphics Abstraction Layer class + two different flavours (Cairo is not fully supported yet), that offers methods to draw primitives using different libraries.
- WX_VIEW_CONTROLS - Controller for VIEW, handles user events, allows zooming, panning, etc.
- PAINTER/PCB_PAINTER - Classes that uses GAL interface to draw items (as you may have already guessed - PCB_PAINTER is a class for drawing PCB specific object, PAINTER is an abstract class). Its methods are invoked by VIEW, when an item has to be drawn. To display a new type of item - you need to implement draw(ITEM_TYPE*) method that draws it using GAL methods.
- STROKE_FONT - Implements stroke font drawing using GAL methods.
Most important changes to Kicad original code:
* EDA_ITEM now inherits from VIEW_ITEM, which is a base class for all drawable objects.
* EDA_DRAW_FRAME contains both usual EDA_DRAW_PANEL and new EDA_DRAW_PANEL_GAL, that can be switched anytime.
* There are some new layers for displaying multilayer pads, vias & pads holes (these are not shown yet on the right sidebar in pcbnew)
* Display order of layers is different than in previous versions (if you are curious - you may check m_galLayerOrder@pcbnew/basepcbframe.cpp). Preserving usual order would result in not very natural display, such as showing silkscreen texts on the bottom.
* Introduced new hotkey (Alt+F12) and new menu option (View->Switch canvas) for switching canvas during runtime.
* Some of classes (mostly derived from BOARD_ITEM) now includes ViewBBox & ViewGetLayers methods.
* Removed tools/class_painter.h, as now it is extended and included in source code.
Build changes:
* GAL-based rendering option is turned on by a new compilation CMake option KICAD_GAL.
* When compiling with CMake option KICAD_GAL=ON, GLEW and Cairo libraries are required.
* GAL-related code is compiled into a static library (common/libgal).
* Build with KICAD_GAL=OFF should not need any new libraries and should come out as a standard version of Kicad
Currently most of items in pcbnew can be displayed using OpenGL (to be done are DIMENSIONS and MARKERS).
More details about GAL can be found in: http://www.ohwr.org/attachments/1884/view-spec.pdf
* Improve MSG_PANEL_ITEM to handle message panel information.
* Create containers for passing message panel items between objects and
the message panel.
* Rename EDA_ITEM::DisplayInfo to EDA_ITEM::GetMsgPanelInfo.
* Remove all direct manipulation of EDA_DRAW_FRAME from all objects derived
from EDA_ITEM.
* Use index when saving layers to handle translated layer names.
* Add LOCALE_IO switcher when loading s-expression format.
* Make SEGVIA default to through hole to improve file size.
* Don't save default orientation of 0 degrees in TEXTE_MODULE and TEXTE_PCB.
* Don't save default zone configuration parameters.
* Save multiple zone corners on a single line.
* Fixed missing ( check in graphic and module arc parsers.
* Consistency improvements for DRAWSEGMENT and EDGE_MODULE objects.
* Minor tweaks to D_PAD formatting.
* Move board item object Format() functions into PCB_IO object.
* Change file format to use layer names instead of numbers.
* Change file extension to kicad_pcb.

* Move EDA_TEXT object into separate header and source file.
* Compile EDA_TEXT class separately for BOARD_ITEM and SCH_ITEM units.
* Compile PAGE_INFO class separately for BOARD_ITEM and SCH_ITEM units.
* Minor formatting tweaks to Pcbnew s-expression file.
* Move internal unit formatting functions into BOARD_ITEM and SCH_ITEM.
* Save dialog now supports saving boards to new file format.
* Add CMake option to build s-expression file save.
* Add check to main CMakeList.txt file to make sure nanometers are
enables when the new file format is built.
* Minor tweaks to object format functions for improved output.
* Rename kicad_plugin.h/cpp to legacy_plugin.h/cpp.
* Add s-expression Format() function to all objects derived from
BOARD_ITEM.
* Add s-expression Format() function to base objects as required.
* Add functions to convert coordinates from base internal units
(nanometers) to millimeter string for writing to s-expression
file.
* Add temporary dummy conversion functions to prevent link errors

into DSO/DLL.
* Add CMake build option to build Pcbnew with nanometer internal
units.
* All objects derived from EDA_ITEM now have consistent hit test method
definitions.
* Remove double function calls from all classes derived from SCH_ITEM.
* Lots of Doxygen comment fixes.
* Remove unnecessary copy constructors from board and module library
objects.
* Add doClone() method to board and library objects.
* Add comment to class definitions where the default copy constructor
generated by the compiler was adequate.
* Replace copy method with clone method where applicable.
* Remove DuplicateStruct() function.
* Remove track object copy function.
* EDA_DRAW_PANEL completely encapsulated.
* Moved OSX m_overlay member from EDA_DRAW_PANEL to EDA_DRAW_FRAME where
it is used.
* Doxygen comment warning fixes.
which should eventually go away in favor of kicad_plugin.cpp.
Add CMake options USE_NEW_PCBNEW_LOAD and USE_NEW_PCBNEW_SAVE, which should not be
used yet, and both default to OFF accordingly.
