CHANGED: Settings are now stored in versioned sub-directories
ADDED: First-run dialog for migrating settings from a previous version
CHANGED: Settings are now stored as JSON files instead of wxConfig-style INI files
CHANGED: Color settings are now all stored in a separate settings file
CHANGED: The symbol editor and footprint editor now have their own settings files
CHANGED: Color settings are no longer exposed through BOARD object
CHANGED: Page layout editor now uses Eeschema's color scheme
Settings are now managed through a central SETTINGS_MANAGER held by PGM_BASE.
Existing settings will be migrated from the wxConfig format on first run of each application.
Per-application settings are now stored in one class for each application.
ADDED new option to set selection highlight thickness.
Also change selection shadow width constants to
make the selection thickness change less drastically
with the zoom level.
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.
These options were used to support the legacy canvas when drawing on
MacOS and GTK3. With the move to 100% GAL, they are extraneous. This
moves all DC over to "COPY" as we only use this for printing support in
Eeschema at the moment, so there is a single draw command (no erasing)
for the canvas.
Bus upgrades: core new connectivity code
Bus upgrades: eeschema integration and modifications
Bus upgrades: eeschema dialogs
Bus upgrades: netlist export
Bus upgrades: file format changes
The old symbol library list save/load code does not get called in the
schematic project file configuration code. Use the LibNamesAndPaths
static function from the PART_LIBS object.
Bump schematic file version from 3 to 4 which represents the switch to
the library table symbol linking which is incompatible with all previous
versions.
Refresh the schematic after running remapping dialog manually.
eeschema now supports arbitrary colors for all object types, and
pcbnew does in GAL canvas. When switching from GAL to legacy canvas,
pcbnew will convert colors to the nearest legacy color.
Now these parameters are stored in user config, not project config ( they are not really related to a given project, they are just a setup during an edition),
and the schematic editor and the component editor have now separate parameters, because they are separate editors with different constraints.
component editor: repeat pin enhancement (from and idea of Edward Johns)
Ensure some values initialized by the schematic editor and used by libedit are also initialized in libedit even if the schematic editor was not started.
Remove useless commands (save/load project config) in libedit, because now they have no sense.
Fix an annoying issue about not named nets:
now, these nets are named from the component references and pin names which are connected.
therefore, unless the net or the footprint references are modified, the net name is not modified between 2 netlist calculations.
the spurious warning about stuff that couldn't be seen when changing
colours.
NOTE that the 'net name' layer is present and configurable but non used
anywhere!
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
* Add s-expression file parser object and keyword files.
* Fix minor issues with s-expression file formatting.
* Fix a minor bug the zone container fill state parsing in the legacy plugin.
* Move EDA_TEXT visibility definition to eda_text.h.
* Add minor BOARD_ITEM object improvements to support s-expression file
parser.
* Factor test for auto save file into base frame class.
* Added auto save feature to Eeschema for saving schematics, addresses
launchpad question 173631.
* Add auto save interval control to Eeschema options dialog.
* Fix problem with subsequent auto saves in last commit.
* Move the hierarchical label connected test into the NETLIST_OBJECT class.
* ERC pin type strings can now be translated.
* Remove unused EDA_DRAW_PANEL attribute from all ERC test functions.
* Add get marker count method to SCH_SCREENS object.
* Redundant header removal.
* Lots of coding style policy fixes.
* Correct all user strings and comments for the correct capitalization of
application names according to JP. They are KiCad, Pcbnew, CvPcb,
Eeschema, and GerbView.
* Add a note the the user interface policy about the correct capitalization.
* Move code from function ClearProjectDrawList() into SCH_SCREEN object
Clear() method.
* Delete eeschema/delsheet.cpp as none of the code in it is ever called.
* Move global spice and net list command line variables into SCH_EDIT_FRAME
object as priviate members and provide access methods.
* Remove unnecessary header includes from eeschema/sheet.cpp.
* Minor coding policy fixes.
* Move undo item copy global variable into schematic editor frame object
member variable.
* Add helper methods for accessing the undo item copy member variable.
* Fix undetected bug when changing a text type.
* Added an exchange command to the undo/redo base class for handling undoing
a changed item type which cannot be undone by swapping out the variables.
* Revert change to common/hotkeys_basic.cpp that broke hot key behavior.
* Lots of coding policy changes while making the changes above.
This was due to a duplicate constants ( with sligtly different values) used to select items in some seach functions that broke filtering. Old definitions removed.
* Rename sch_item files to sch_junction.
* Make global variable g_ItemToRepeat a private member of SCH_EDIT_FRAME
object.
* Encapsulate SCH_SCREEN reference count member.
* Move schematic select block from global variable to SCH_EDIT_FRAME.
* Remove redundant schematic drawing code for eeredraw.cpp.
* Move block select code into SCH_SCREEN object.
* Simpilify block item select code.
* Fix bug in SCH_LINE selection state test.
* Add test to schematic objects for connectability.
* Make copy block items function a private method in SCH_EDIT_FRAME.
* Break classes_body_item.cpp(.h) into more reasonable size bites.
* Rename classes_body_item.cpp(.h) to lib_draw_item.cpp(.h)
* Fix some unsatisfied header file dependencies.
* Add stubs to component library draw item base classe to handle editing
internally.
* Lots of code cleaning.
* Replaced find dialog with wxFormBuilder version.
* New find dialog is modeless, supports more advanced search features,
remembers it's last position, size, search history, and search settings,
and implements initial support for replacing.
* Added Shift+F5 hot key to search for next DRC marker. F5 now just
repeats previous search.
* Minor cosmetic enhancements to label edit dialog.
* Remove tab from grid size text printf to fix toolbar grid combobox
display in wxGTK.
* Updated my TODO list items.
