The pin name defined in Eeschema is now available as pad info.
Useful for the board designer (the pin function is displayed in the message panel).
Needed for the Gerber P&P files.
It happens when the spice library model shown in dialog is a large file.
Looks like the wxTextCtrl used to displays the library content
creates the crash ( GKT bug?) for large texts.
The fix is to replace this wxTextCtrlt by a wxStyledTextCtrl.
It has advantages (does not crash... and much faster display) and
inconvenients (cannot disable editing).

Apparently there are some issues with wxString::CmpNoCase() that was
causing the sheet file name case sensitivity test to incorrectly fail.
Converting the name strings to lower case before comparing resolved
the issue.
Add missing check for root sheet when searching sheet hierarchies for
already loaded schematics. This prevents the root sheet from being
omitted when adding new sheets using the root sheet file name.
CHANGED: Make file name tests case sensitive so that schematic sheet
file names on non-Windows systems can be uses as expected.
Warn users when attempting to use schematic file names that only vary
by case sensitivity that doing so will result in a project that is not
portable to Windows.

When dragging a bus the entry is connected to the bus so the wire
connected to the entry (if any) needs to stretch.
While an entry can connect in the middle of bus, it cannot connect
in the middle of a wire.

Remove not used files:
- markdown2html is not used (we are using "Sundown" tool)
- newstroke_font_without_CJK.cpp is removed.
Due to code optimization the full font works fine without memory issues
-fix also a few very minor compil warnings
CHANGED: No longer call schematics noname.sch in standalone mode,
instead don't given them any name so the user can choose on save.

We have different requirements than sheet paths for netlists,
so going through that code and then doing a lot of conversions
just ends up with a mess.
We now generate the path directly from the SCH_SHEET_PATH.

The sort routine requires the value to be true with a is strictly lower
than b. But just inverting the '<' doesn't yield strictly lower, it
includes '>='. This causes items to jump in the list.
Copy/Paste should keep the original items' designation for all units and
conversion type. If it was specified in the original copy, we should
keep the same specification when pasting (but update for the current
frame)
Handle symbols as well as strings in the "source" lists of
netlist files.
Handle Protex gerber file extensions.
Check for project_name-whatever pattern for files that we
don't recognize (such as project_name-NPTH-drl_map.ps)
NEW: The simulator plot now avoids colors already in use, if possible.
The palette is replaced with a larger one with less saturated colors.

NEW: A text entry allows adding signals by name. This includes vectors
not in the signal list, which is useful for plotting calculated vectors
like `let AB=V(a)*V(b)`. It's also a faster way to add a signal if you
know its name already.

The new connectivity algorithm had a tendency to cleanup
globally, but that could insert undo records from other sheets
into the current screen's undo stack. Needless to say, this
was a recipie for segfaults.

Mainly replacing std::string by wxString to manage filenames.
On Windows, a sdt::string cannot manage a filename, unless using
in many places TO_UTF8 and FROM_UTF8.
So the best way is to use a wxString for filenames and error messages.
Note that since the markup might exist for other reasons, it has
to be turned on with a preference setting. (It goes through a set
of bitflags so the same architecture can be used for other markup
structures that we might want to support in the future.)
Note also that this is more about engineering nomenclature than
visual formatting. In that respect it's more similar to overbar
than italic or bold.
When more than one item has the duplicated timestamp, the update code
doesn't accurately change the duplicates as it only checks that a single
sort has not adjacent duplicates.
This adds all items to a set, ensuring that updated timestamps are
unique to the schematic, which prevents reseting or mangling the units
for duplicated components.
Right click is a pointing operation combined with a request for the
context menu. We need to highlight the user's intended object when they
have moved their mouse to a new element instead of showing the context
menu for the selected object.
However, in cases where the selection is difficult to make, it is
sometimes helpful to select the item first, then right-click. In these
cases, we keep the selection where the mouse remains inside the selected
object's bounding box.
When placing a new component in the schematic, this allows the user to
iterate through all units in the selected component without re-opening
the choose part dialog. It also allows the optional addition of
multiple copies of the same component to be placed in the schematic.

Adding a field to a selection changes the bounding box and count for
rotation. This can cause odd offsets when the field is rotated against
the selection center rather than the bounding box as well as with the
component.

The break wire command will break all wires at a point. If there are

The previous converter (maddy) is still available, during some time.
We therefore have the time to choose between them.
sundown is better to convert a md text, but is written to C
maddy has a few issues to convert a md text, but is written to C++
Both have no dependency.
