The performance of live resizing isn't great. Windows can send mouse moves at 1000 Hz which is faster than the complex appearance panel + canvas can paint properly.
This will always show 1 unit from each system, with the primary unit
being the current frame unit and the secondary unit being the
most recent unit used from the other system. These are saved in
the settings, so they are saved between runs.
This uncovered a memory corruption bug in MODULE's move operator,
several bugs in MODULE's move and copy constructors, and a bug in
BOARD's GetItem() call.
It also bumps the file format for saving/restoring groups inside
footprints.
CHANGED: GetDocumentExtents() in 'eda_draw_frame.h' now has a bool
parameter "aIncludeAllVisible" with a default value "true" which makes
it behave as it did before adding parameter. If "aIncludeAllVisible"
is false, the returned bbox ignores some items depending on which
program it is running in.
CHANGED: Made "Zoom to Objects" use only PCB edge in Pcbnew. This
allows text, notes, etc outside the PCB edge to be excluded in the
zoom calculation.
CHANGED: Added "Zoom to Objects" to Pcbnew main menu, and to RMB context
menus for Eeschema and Pcbnew.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5787
These objects can now be used in advanced DRC rules and
not just for keeping things out. Also remove the restriction
that at least one of the "basic" keepout rules must be set,
so that these areas can be used for more advanced rules.
Eeschema was the only application showing the file path. This is of
limited use and prevented other information from showing in the
shortened menubar display. Also combined strings for better translation
Various architecture upgrades to support this.
Creating a BOARD now requires a valid PROJECT, which caused
some (mostly transparent) changes to the Python API internals.
ADDED: Project local settings file
CHANGED: Board design settings are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Net classes are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Importing board settings now reads boards, not just projects

* Consolidate the measure tool into one tool (this gives cvpcb
unit changing and snapping capabilities in its measure tool)
* Transition cvpcb to use actions for the sketch modes
* Replumb how magnetic items settings are stored and used
* Move it to a panel along with the canvas to have a better UI
* Allow the infobar to automatically close after a set time
CHANGED: The eeschema find notifications now use the infobar instead of
a popup window
Migrate COLOR_SETTINGS 0->1 to remove fpedit section
Migrate FOOTPRINT_EDITOR_SETTINGS 0->1 to use new theme if created
Remove COLOR_CONTEXT that is no longer needed
* Push all sizing operations into EDA_BASE_FRAME
* Save the unmaximized window size when maximizing
so that we can then save it in the config if the
window is maximized. Otherwise the config ends up
with the maximized size saved, and weird behavior
occurs when unmaximizing on the next opening.
Now only reposition a window if it is completely on a
disconnected display or if only one corner is on screen
and it is within a region close to the screen border.
CHANGED: Window position on startup should be preserved more
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.
Create an IsContentModified() function in each frame
that provides if the content has been modified, and
use that instead of always copying the checks.

In singletop mode, all frames show the "Quit" option in the file menu
and will quit on Ctrl-Q. When launched from the main KiCad interface,
sub-programs show the "Close" option instead and will close with Ctrl-W.
In this mode, Ctrl-Q will instruct the main program to exit.

Also changes the presentation of the string when the checkbox appears
so that the "Changes will be lost" warning isn't hidden by the turndown.
This last part may require conditional compilation as it's undocumented.
Lastly, regularizes the Unsaved Changes strings between the apps.
This is a stop gap fix. It should be possible to use the wxFrame title
string for this but some of the frame windows have appropriated the title
string for configuration file naming purposes which is less than ideal.

This was always possible from modal browsers and from the footprint

The config was saving a canvas type EDA_DRAW_FRAME member not always accurately initialized.
And the last canvas opened frame setup was saved, not necessary a frame having a canvas type that can be set by user.
This is a broken feature especially because the footprint viewer has a fixed canvas setting.
wxChoice centers the selection on GTK. So when switching from a
mid-list item to an item at the top, the list is always cut off for
choice lists located on the top toolbar. Using a combobox provides a
drop-down that allows easier access to all elements in the box.

Factor out save current canvas view to image file code from symbol editor
code so it can be used anywhere.
Add ability to save to any image format supported by wxBitmapType. See
https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.0/gdicmn_8h.html#a90a1eb6d85b5044a99b706fd979f27f5.
Currently only PNG output is implemented.
Please note that there is a minor bug that appears to be due to the
scroll bars which causes unfilled areas on the right and bottom edges
of the image. This always existed in the save symbol editor view
image but it was not as noticeable because by default the background
color is white. It is very noticeable in the footprint editor with
a black background.
The usual smattering of coding policy and comment fixes.

Primary change is to replace most control/window borders with
AUI pane borders. We implement our own AUI border drawing
routine which avoids the ugly one-pixel white frames around
dark canvasses.
Also increases the signal-to-noise ratio of all the pane
creation code in the various frames.
Spooling up a full PLAYER in the background takes too long.
This also fixes bugs around how the tables are saved, although
that was just missing code rather than anything architectural.

Be more intelligent about sorting lib tree items. (Footprint
entries, for instance, come out of an already-sorted list.)
Don't recreate menus twice when laoding Footprint Editor.
More pervasive use of WX_FILENAME to avoid expensive calls to
wxFileName::SplitPath() and string concatenation.
For POSIX kernels do all the work on the file-system side so we
don't have to keep converting back and forth between encodings.
This also fixes a bunch of bugs where an error during save would
still close the window (rather than cancelling the close action).

... and GetMsgPanelInfo.
Step 4 in the g_UserUnit eradication effort.
Also removes a couple of conversion routines that were close
enough to extinction.

As of v5 footprint library reorganization (one repo per library concept
is replaced with a common repo for all libraries), the Footprint Library
Wizard may handle only the old libraries. It has been replaced with

Unifies the different sections of hotkeys so that we are not storing two
[eeschema] or [pcbnew] sections in two different files.
Previous hotkey definitions are loaded at start if they exist but are
overwritten by the new format, if it exists. Changes to hotkeys save
only in the combined format.
Hotkey editor for each application only shows the hotkeys relevant to
that application.

Frame, dialog and config file couldn't agree on whether to use

Add a library selector to the save dialog. Initialize it to the
footprint's library. This way a straigh-up save will do what's

Also adds indicators in layers palette for feedback.

Also fixes a completely unrelated typo in a UI string.
Includes some dialog changes to go with the menu update.
Includes promoting the Pcbnew graphics mode back to main menu.
Includes renaming Graphics modes to Toolsets.
Fixes a bunch of errors:
- libedit and libbrowser would zoom to bounding box but centre on canvas
- libedit, libbrowser and gerbview didn’t take the scroll bars into account
- pcbnew didn’t take scroll bars into account or apply the 10% margin
- appending a board file would re-centre, but not re-zoom
