* Factor out PROPERTIES object from the PCB plugin code and move it into
common so it can be used by both the Pcbnew and Eeschema plugins.
* Add schematic I/O plugin manager for loading and saving schematic and
component library files.
* Add initial attempt at a parser for current schematic file format. This
parser will be infinitely more strict than the current parser which is very
forgiving in what it parses.
* Make minor changes to the base bitmap class to support the new parser.
* Add find root sheet support to sheet object to allow fetching the root
sheet from any sheet in the stack.
* coding standard fixes
* library part not library component (no such thing as a library component)
* string concatenation fix
* and an inline harmless debug/dump function
* Derive SCH_SHEET_PATH from std::vector< SCH_SHEET* > and remove unnecessary
assignment operator and list management functions.
* Remove function BuildSheetPathInfoFromSheetPathValue() since it was
effectively an assignment operation.
* Replace all calls to BuildSheetPathInfoFromSheetPathValue() with assignment
operator.
* Replace list management functions with vector management functions.
* Fix a error message that wasn't translatable.
* Ensure proper SCH_SHEET object page numbering which caused annotation to
calculate incorrect reference designators when annotating by using page offsets.
* Added SetPageNumbers to SCH_SHEET for setting sheet page numbers after
schematic is loaded.
* Move FindSheetByName() function from SCH_SHEEET_PATH to SCH_SHEET object
and update calls to FindSheetByName() accordingly.
* Remove SCH_SHEET_PATH::FindSheet() which was unused.
* Add sorting option to SCH_SHEET::GetSheets().
* Add const and non-const version of GetRootSheet() to SCH_SHEET.
* Add GetSheetPaths() function to SCH_SHEET which behaves the same way
as SCH_SHEET_LIST except it uses standard C++ containers and is a much
simpler design.
* Add function to get a list pointers to this sheet and all of it's sub-sheets
to SCH_SHEET.
* Remove unused function SetFootprintField() from SCH_SHEET_PATH.
* Add sheet number that is set by schematic file load order. This duplicates
the previous SCH_SHEET_PATH behavior.
* Uncouple SCH_REFERENCE and SCH_REFERENCE_LIST from SCH_SHEET_PATH.
* Add - operator to SCH_SHEET for comparison purposes. This duplicates the
behavior of SCH_SHEET_PATH::Cmp().
* Uncouple SCH_COMPONENT::GetRef() from SCH_SHEET_PATH and use SCH_SHEET
instead.
* Uncouple SCH_COMPONENT::GetUnitSelection() from SCH_SHEET_PATH and use
SCH_SHEET instead.
* Fix all calls to GetRef() and GetUnitSelection() to pass a pointer to the
appropriate SCH_SHEET object instead of an SCH_SHEET_PATH object.
* Add code to SCH_SHEET object to clear annotation.
* Change SCH_COMPONENT::GetPath() to derive path from SCH_SHEET object instead
of SCH_SHEET_PATH object.
* Remove clear annotation code from SCH_SCREENS object.
* Make SCH_SHEET parent the SCH_SHEET object that loaded it. This preserves
the hierarchy when the schematic is loaded.
* Add function to SCH_SHEET to find the root sheet from any sheet in the
hierarchy.
* Add functions to SCH_SHEET to create the path and human readable paths for
any sheet without relying on the external SCH_SHEET_PATH object.
* Remove function LocatePathOfScreen from SCH_SHEET since it was not used
anywhere.
* Add human readable path to message panel information for SCH_SHEET.
* Set the name of the root sheet to "root" instead of the default generated
when a new SCH_SHEET is created.
* Set the empty sheet name and file name to "root" and "noname.sch" when
Eeschema is opened with no schematic.
* When no item is at the current position on a left mouse click, show the
current sheet information in the message panel.
* Add less than operator for sorting SCH_SHEET objects by path length and
time stamps when the path lengths are the same.
Move items rework: enhancements: for some items (sheets, components, bus entries) the mouse cursor is no more wrapped to the anchor. For large symbols, this is better: they are more easy to place.
There is also a change when starting a move item command: the full screen is redraw, and therefore there is no artifact due to the XOR draw mode.
Some other minor coverity fixes (uninitialized members).
Pcbnew: Code cleaning and bug fix in autoplace functions
Dialog exchange footprints has now a separate button to update the .cmp file, only on request.
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.
* 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.
* BLOCK_SELECTOR class is not longer derived from EDA_ITEM.
* Encapsulate BLOCK_SELECTOR class member variables and add access methods.
* Move HandleBlockBegin() function from block_commande.cpp to drawframe.cpp.
* Remove virtual methods from top level derived objects per future
coding policy change.
* Remove Doxygen copydoc statement from objects derived from EDA_ITEM
since the comments are automatically copied to the derived object.
* Removed copy and pasted Doxygen comments from objects derived from
EDA_ITEM.
* 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.
* Convert Eeschema from manually linked list to DLIST for storing
SCH_ITEM objects.
* Add helper functions to SCH_SCREEN for appending list of SCH_ITEM
objects.
* Fix bug in wire editing code for accurate undo/redo behavior.
* Add member to DLIST to append another DLIST.
* Other minor code cleaning.
* Remove unnecessary copy constructors from schematic and component
library objects.
* Add comment to class definitions where the default copy constructor
generated by the compiler was adequate.
* Add assignment operator to EDA_ITEM, SCH_ITEM, and all schematic
objects where the default assignment operator generated by the
compiler would not be adequate.
* Move SCH_ITEM::Place() code into SCH_EDIT_FRAME so schematic item
objects no longer have any knowledge of the schematic frame window
or undo/redo containers.
* Add check box and flag to ignore replacing the component reference
designator field.
* Fix a resizing bug when switching between the find and replace modes of
the find/replace dialog.
* Fix replace component reference designator field bug.
* Force rebuild of search list when schematic is modified and the replace
dialog is closed.
* Prevent finding the next item when the find/replace dialog is closed.
* Respect warp mouse pointer setting when closing find/replace dialog.
* Fix duplicate mnemonic control accelerator keys in find/replace dialog.
