! 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.
* Complete encapsulation of the MODULE class.
* Complete encapsulation of the EDA_TEXT class.
* Encapsulate most of the ZONE_CONTAINER class.
* Add pcbcommon library as a dependency for reSWIGging the scripting
support. This should cover most dependency cases.
* Fix bug in hierarchical searches using sheet path pointers which are
destroyed on every search. Use human readable path as last sheet found
in test to prevent comparison of deleted pointers.
* Fix a bug in SCH_COMPONENT::Matches() that would prevent searching for
pins if the search all fields flags was not set.
* Fix a bug in SCH_COMPONENT::Matches() to use the sheet path to perform
the comparison to the correct reference designator and unit number.
* Fix wrapping in sheet path and sheet path list MatchNextItem methods.
* Push search methods down to EDA_ITEM object so advanced searching can
be performed on all items derived from EDA_ITEM.
* Add virtual method to EDA_ITEM object to test if item supports replacing
text.
* Replace switch statement magic numbers in Eeschema socket connection code
with Pcbnew for improved readability.
* 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.
* Fix bug that prevented component from being replaced in library when
the component root name was changed.
* Fix drawing bug when changing text or field item string while move in
progress.
* Fix drawing bug when rotating text item while move in progress.
* Prevent undo or redo when editing a component draw item.
* Fix assert bug when replacing component in library when the component
root name was changed.
* Fix bug in field editor caused by new root alias implementation that
prevented any field from being changed.
* Fix minor spacing issues with EESchema find dialog.
* Deprecate remaining internal linked list code from component library
objects.
* Rename pin object files to match new library object file naming
scheme.
* Move LIB_TEXT object definition into it's own header file.
* 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.
* Replace component library editor new component dialog using wxFormBuilder.
* Rename component library draw items to conform to current coding standards.
* Add GetWidth() method to component library draw objects.
* Add regular expression key word search capability to component library object.
* Component library objects renamed for improved readability.
* Fields now move when selected in library editor.
* Add copy constructor to all library draw and library component objects.
* Added copy constructor to EDA_BaseStruct.
* Delete base screen in WinEDA_DrawFrame destructor to prevent potential memory leak.
* Fixed memory access bug when replacing and adding a component to library.
* Moved library component block manipulation code into component object.
* Removed all of the global variables used by the library editor main window object.
* The usual code cleaning and refactoring.
* Split out application specific command IDs to prevent unnecessary rebuilding.
* Eliminate duplicate menu and tool bar command IDs.
* Split component library editor and viewer definitions to separate header files.
* More component library and document file merge code.
* A bunch of minor string readability and consistency fixes.
