* Convert user interface guidelines to markdown and add to the documentation
created by Doxygen.
* Remove HOW_TO_CONTRIBUTE.txt. This information is covered elsewhere.
* Remove wxWidgets_patch_notes.txt.
* Update the developer road map document.
* Update the compiling KiCad from source document to reflect recent build
changes.
* Change Cairo library version to 1.8.8 to fix build issues on CentOS 6.
* Remove push and shove router documentation which is maintained in the
user documentation.
* Remove coding_style_policy.pdf since it is know automatically generated
with the developers documentation and linked on the KiCad website.
* Merge the contents of rules_for_capitalization_in_Kicad_UI.txt into
UIPolicy.txt.
* Remove rules_for_capitalization_in_Kicad_UI.txt.
1. Fixed an assumption somebody originally made in the plugin that std::string had contiguous storage. This is not specced behavior pre C++11 so we gamble by calling .reserve() which should give a far better guarantee.
2. Added copy to clipboard information for curl
3. Removed some openssl references in compiling.md
4. Renamed struct vars to be uppercase to match "public var" code style policy
* Add note about 32-bit builds to MSYS2 the hard way section.
* Add known issues section for building on windows with MSYS2.
* Add 64-bit Boost 1.59 issue to MSYS2 issues section.
* Fix broken link to KiCad patches source path.
* Fix missing link to MinGW website.
* Add link to library dependency section in introduction.
* Add "Known Issues" section to document known build issues.
* Change command blocks from using ``` to delineate block and use indentation
instead. The ``` method seems to be broken on Doxygen 1.8.9.1 used by the
autobuilder. It also removes the line numbering which did not make sense
for commands that spanned multiple lines.
* Add compiling.md with most of the important information from the plain
text versions of platform specific compiling files.
* Remove the old plain text compiling files and folder.
* Fix creation of single app bundle with respect to scripting support.
* Cleanup scripting search paths for OSX.
* Fix some small CMake bugs from previous OSX build change.
* Optimize bundle file structure to be consistent with Apple specs.
* Add helper script for compiling wxWidgets and wxPython
* Update OSX build instructions.
* Compile all binaries into a single application bundle.
* Use CMake BundleUtilities to make application bundle relocatable.
* Restructure build output to directly create an image file.
* Fix default search paths.
* Set KIGITHUB environment variable.
* Added patch to fix wxWidgets so names for OSX.
- Create KiCad road map document.
- Add road map to developer's documentation.
- A separate road map build command to CMake so the road map can be built
separately for use in websites.
- Update .bzrignore to ignore road map files generated by Doxygen.
! 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.
Scripting: fix compatibility current pcbnew version in 2 examples and the default extension of board files in board.i (was .kicad_brd, now is .kicad_pcb)
