In high-contrast mode, items that don't exist on the current layer are
not selectable, but this is problematic since there are library
components that only exist in the silkscreen layer (logos, etc).
By adding one of the silkscreen layers to the ViewGetLayers() output,
these components are now editable when viewing the silkscreen layer in
high-contrast mode. Silkscreens attached to footprints that have pads
or drawings on non-silkscreen layers are still not selectable.

- pad names are stored as wxString instead of a char[4] & integer union
- removed pad name to string conversion functions
- fixed pad & pin properties dialog restrictions regarding the name
length
- support for background color setting
- removed several global config settings (such as g_Drc_On)
- wrapped most of global config settings in PCB_GENERAL_SETTINGS class
- reorganized PCB general options dialog to clearly mark which options concern only the legacy canvas
- new GAL feature for legacy users: double-click (or E) to change track width available as an option.

This patch adds a radiobox to allow the user to select a reference point for
the move. The additional options are: User Origin (set with <space>),
Grid Origin and Sheet Origin (effectively making it an absolute coordinate).
A checkbox is added (where it makes sense) to allow overriding which point
within the component is put on top of the designated coordinate.

bitmaps.h was included in nearly every file in the project due to it
being included by base_struct.h
Only about 130 files actually use the XPM definitions defined there, and
many of those already included bitmaps.h themselves, or via
menu_helpers.h. However, touching bitmaps.h would result in over 400
rebuilt files for pcbnew alone.
This commit moves the bitmap-related types like BITMAT_DEF out to a new
header, which is still included by base_struct.h, which is less
avoidable for now, it's it's used in the interface.
The icon list is still in bitmaps.h. This has the side effect that's
it's now easier to automatically generate this file.
Many classes in pcbnew and eeschema needed some functions moved
to the implementaitons from the headers too.
Make all EDA_TEXT data private and rename accessors to avoid function
name collisions in derived classes.
Overload EDA_TEXT's SetTextAngle() and SetEffects() in TEXTE_PCB.
Add support for preserving Reference text position, size, orientation
during a netlist import into a BOARD, as well as the one off footprint
update dialog.
* Split and rewrite the preview window and canvas.
* Create a new class for handling the board information.
* Adds new render targets: openGL, legacy, and ray tracing.
* Render targets take full advantage of the new 3D plugins system and 3D cache
for a fast 3D model loading.
* Faster board loading.
* New OpenGL render is faster than the old one.
* New ray tracing render target with a post processing shader.
* Use of new 3D plugins (WRL, X3D, STEP and IGES) and 3D model caching.
* Preview of 3D model while browsing the file name.
* 3D preview of the footprint while adding / align 3D shapes.
* Render of 3D models according to attributes: Normal, Normal+Insert, Virtual.
* Pivot rotation centered in one point over the PCB board.
* Shortcuts keys improved for XYZ orientation..
* Animated camera.
It should help if (or when) the internal angle unit used in kicad will be changed from 0.1 degree (a relic of code written for PCs without fpu) to degree ( a more natural unit).
* No initial copied object changed (this was a serious bug to modify these objects. Previous version modified references and other texts using a very stupid algorithm).
It also fixes bug 1549231
* only new pads are numbered (therefore renumbering is used only in footprint editor)
* remove not working and useless feature in circular array: now only use number for pads (others options using alphabetical letters are removed: did not work corectly, and were useless)
* a more clear option is used to choose if the pads are numbered from a choosen value, or from the first avaible value
* Adding a warning messsage if a parameter is incorrect.
2. Whole bunch of pointless casts removed
3. Unused variables removed
4. Fix bug caused by JP on April 25, 2015 where strings were adjusted for translation and the hotkeys section table accidentally swapped the footprint editor title with tag, resulting in "footprint editor" being exported instead of "[footprinteditor]"
No functional changes besides #4, technically it'll "break" imports hotkeys files but April 25 broke imports as well.
PAD_SHAPE_T and PAD_ATTR_T still have a double definition (new names and old names) to be sure python scripts are nor broken by the change.
PAD_DRILL_SHAPE_T does not have a double definition, because it is unlikely oblong holes are used in python scripts.
Double definitions will be removed in the (next) future.
* Cleanup namespace in enum ZoneConnection in pcbnew/zones.h to self-explained names unification: PAD_ZONE_CONN_INHERITED, PAD_ZONE_CONN_NONE,PAD_ZONE_CONN_THERMAL,PAD_ZONE_CONN_FULL, PAD_ZONE_CONN_THT_THERMAL
Text arrays can now use "%s" as a placeholder to be substituted with the array index.
Also expand menu options for move exact, arrays and duplicate.
Minor fixes for arrays - use proper unit parsing, add numbering start for circular arrays
Add circle radius indicator to array dialogue
* Make title capitalization consistant.
* Replace some instances of module with footprint.
* Use angle instead of orientation where appropriate.
* Remove abbreviations where it made sense.
* Coding policy fixes.
- Removed the friends MODULE and FOOTPRINT_EDIT_FRAME from TEXTE_MODULE
(as in the @todo comment)
- Refactored the Rotate/Flip/Mirror for text in modules into the
TEXTE_MODULE class itself (members RotateWithModule, FlipWithModule,
MirrorWithModule)
- New behaviour in coloring text on screen: reference and value still
take the color from the MOD_TEXT_FR_VISIBLE and MOD_TEXT_BK_VISIBLE
visibles; other text takes the color of the layer containing it
(except when hidden, obviously) but still get its visibility
controlled by those visibles (probably the most intuitive and useful
behaviour)
- Still need to decide: should text on a layer be hidden when the layer
is? Probably yes (still to be implemented);
- Some comment fixed and many cast converted to static_cast
2) Change from legacy Cu stack to counting down from top=(F_Cu or 0).
The old Cu stack required knowing the count of Cu layers to make
sense of the layer number when converting to many exported file types.
The new Cu stack is more commonly used, although ours still gives
B_Cu a fixed number.
3) Introduce class LSET and enum LAYER_ID.
4) Change *.kicad_pcb file format version to 4 from 3.
5) Change fixed names Inner1_Cu-Inner14_Cu to In1_Cu-In30_Cu and their
meanings are typically flipped.
6) Moved the #define LAYER_N_* stuff into legacy_plugin.cpp where they
can die a quiet death, and switch to enum LAYER_ID symbols throughout.
7) Removed the LEGACY_PLUGIN::Save() and FootprintSave() functions.
You will need to convert to the format immediately, *.kicad_pcb and
*.kicad_mod (=pretty) since legacy format was never going to know
about 32 Cu layers and additional technical layers and the reversed Cu
stack.
Most of the changes are just adding GetDesignSettings() before every occurence of m_NetClasses.
More complex changes:
class_netclass.cpp - NETCLASS does not store the pointer to the parent BOARD anymore. Added function SetParams( BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS& ).
class_netclass.h - Removed GetTrackMinWidth(), GetViaMinDiameter(), GetViaMinDrill(), GetuViaMinDiameter(), GetuViaMinDrill() as they were refering to BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS anyway (they are not net class specific).
kicad_plugin.cpp - filters out empty nets (that are anyway not saved) when storing net class information. Previously it was done in NETCLASS::Format() function.
- Converted the Next/Prev C casts to static casts and removed the type
unsafe ones
- Splitted as virtual the VIA::Flip member instead of using RTTI
- Heavily refactored the 'unconnected track' cleanup routine
- Misc constification
Dialog Freeroute: if freeroute.jar is find in kicad binaries, it is run as a standard java application, not as web applcation
Very minor other fixes
FPC_(SMD_type)_footprintwizard.py wizard finished.
! 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.
- VIEW_ITEM::ViewUpdate() does not update items immediately. Now it marks them to be updated and the real update occurs on the next rendering frame.
- VIEW::InvalidateItem() made private.
- VIEW_LAYER::enabled -> visible
- Some functions moved to header files.
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)
