Now all are calculated using the top to bottom draw Y axis. This is perhaps not a good idea, but at least it will be easy to change, later.
Code cleaning relative to these bounding boxes.
* If a bus entry is drawn between two WIRES (not a wire and a bus, or two
buses), it looks like it's connecting the wires together, but doesn't
actually represent a connection. Display them as dangling in that case,
to make it clear to the user that a connection has not actually been made.
* Enable and disable save schematic button and menu entry depending on
modification status.
* Add toolbar and menu entries for leaving sheet.
* Enable and disable leave sheet menu entry and toolbar when in root sheet
or descended into the hierarchy.
* Add code to test for sheet path recursion to SCH_SHEET_PATH and SCH_SHEET_LIST.
* Add recursion tests to edit sheet code in Eeschema.
* Add recursion tests to block paste code in Eeschema.
* Remove global s_NetObjectslist.
* Separate out non-owning version of NETLIST_OBJECTS_LIST into NETLIST_OBJECTS.
* Fix double free pertaining to ~NETLIST_READER().
* Remove all file-io from CvPCB.
* Remove exe launcher cvpcb, retain only cvpcb.kiface, since cvpcb.kiface has no file i/o.
* Add void CVPCB_MAINFRAME::KiwayMailIn( KIWAY_EXPRESS& mail ) and teach it to use old
netlist loading code with a STRING_LINE_READER LINE_READER.
* Fix BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE( CVPCB_MAINFRAME, KIWAY_PLAYER )
Previously, acute angles (especially small angles) in zone outlines create incorrect shapes and sometimes strange shapes for clearance areas, when using generic algorithms.
This happens when zones outlines have "spikes", but not usually for smooth outlines.
* auto-save was broken for all sub sheets with are in a sub-directory of the project directory. (reason wxFileName::Normalize(), used to create the absolute path has issues with filenames starting by '$', perhaps due to env var which also start by $). the auto-save prefix is modified ( now AUTOSAVE_PREFIX_FILENAME which defines "_save_" ) and defined only once.
* auto-save files from sub-sheets were not found due to the fact the path was not set (fixed by Blair Bonnet's patch)
added the example gen_gerber_and_drill_files_board.py in demos, which shows how to do that.
Fix a Printf format issue (shown in Debug mode) in Libedit (%d used for a size_t, changed in %zu)
Fix a i18n issue in field names when loading a component, if the language was changed during a session, and kicad not restarted (see Bug #1448654).
However changing the language needs restarting kicad, in order to have all messages or menus translated.
* Add code to test if any of the components in the schematic cache have been changed
in the component libraries.
* Prompt user to accept or reject components when changes are found.
* If the user chooses to use the components in the cache, create a new library with the old
components and add it to the beginning of the component library list so the schematic will
not be changed.
* Create dialogs to handle user feedback and status.
* Use "Close" in the file menu of every main frame window instead of the
mismatch of the terms "Close", "Exit", and "Quit".
* Change the terminology in the Pcbnew graphic text edit dialog to match the
module text edit dialog.
* Improve the layout of the Pcbnew graphic text dialog.
* Fix some wxPrintf parameter type assertions for 64 bit time_t.
* Fix all (at least I think I got all of them) duplicate menu accelerator
characters.
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)
Previously, only the lib named "power" was used (and therefore power parts defined in other libs not shown).
Now, all power parts can be loaded from any library.
Also, when loading power parts from the chose component dialog or the lib viewer, libs and parts are filtered: only power parts and libs containing power parts are listed.
Hotkeys: move a few global strings in the files where ther are actually used (and make them local.) and code cleaning.
Fix a few other minor issues.
* The SCH_COLLECTOR m_foundItems was being obsoleted after a pin name search.
If a library edit changed the found pin name, the cache still held the now
missing library pin and would segfault on next search due to the cache being
out of date.
This is due to the fact static strings flagged translated ( _("string") notation) are not translated when they are static only if they are not inside a dll.
When they are static inside a dll, the dictionary is already loaded, and the constructor translate them.
Therefore they can be translated twice in dialogs are calling wxGetTranslation to show them, if the application is run from kicad.
But if the application is run as stand alone, the translation is made only once (as expected).
Fix minor 3D viewer issues (includling change number of segments and its optimization to draw pad holes.)
Fix Bug #1439132 (track and via list on toolbar not always refresh after loading a board).
Remove useless tool in Modedit.
* Add footprint and drop table from the Pcbnew footprint library table menu
entry to make it clear to new users.
* Add component to the Eeschema library configuration menu entry.
legacy plugin: better compatibility with old brd files (current track width and current vias size, stored in SETUP section, were not read from file and incorrectly set)
Eeschema now uses dashed lines for graphic lines (to be consistent with plot functions and toolbal icon).
Fix an old bug in some envionments which warp the mouse on a bad monitor when opening eeschema, pcbnew and some other windows, only noticeable guys who are lucky enough to have more than one monitor.
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).
* move not shared files (sch_item_struct.*, sch_base_frame.h) to eeschema;
* move wxEeschemaStruct.h to eeschema and rename it schframe.h to be consistent with the other corresponding file name schframe.cpp;
* remove few not needed #include
Rename eeschema/dialogs/dialog_sch_find.fbp to dialog_schematic_find_base.fbp, to be consistent with other dialogs.
Pcbnew run from the project manager: add menu Save Copy As..., which is the same command as Save As ... in stand alone mode, but with the constraints of a project (no cwd change, no board filename change, and keep project settings)
- the net file now has all project sheet title block using node 'sheets' and 'sheet'
- Updated bom_with_title_block_2_csv. Note, its only going to output the root title block.
- corrected the code that violated the code policy. i.e. added the extra space to make the code more readable
- Restored bom2csv.xsl to its original form
- Added bom_with_title_block_2_csv.xsl which has the new BOM generator.
For example:
- Company name
- Project title
- issue date
- Revision
- Comment 1 to 4
- updated bom2csv.xsl plugin to take advatage of the extra project information that the net file now outputs.
Overall this improvement will make it easier to automatically make controlled and traceable documents.
* Fix -Woverloaded-virtual warning in DIALOG_LIB_NEW_COMPONENT class
definition.
* Make EDA_ITEM::Matches( const wxString& wxFindReplaceData& ) protected
since it's a helper function that should only be called by derived objects.
* Check to see if image handler is already initialized to prevent warning
on debug builds.
* Change LIB_PART destructor message output to use wxLogDebug for debugging
on windows builds.
* Minor code cleaning and coding policy fixes.
* if the current select plugin is the github plugin, one can select some of these libraries and add them to the table
* if the current select plugin is the kicad plugin, one can select some of these libraries and download them to make alocal copy.
They can added to the table after they are downloaded.
* Make generate button the default in Eeschema netlist dialog.
* Fix spacing issues in export IDF dialog.
* Make OK button the default in export IDF dialog.
* Remove unnecessary end dialog code from export IDF dialog.
* Improve resizing of export IDF dialog.
* Change Read to Load in Pcbnew and Eeschema preference menus.
* Make electrical rules check status bar message the same for both the menu
and toolbar entries.
When the filename is not absolute, the page layout file is now searched first in project folder, and then in kicad template folder, if not found in project.
Fix issue when using a page layout file in project folder: eeschema and Pcbnew did not use it, unless using an absolute path.
Now, if the file path is nor absolute, it is seen as relative to the project (which is the expected behavior)
fp lib wizard: when pcbnew id compiled with USE_GITHUB_PLUGIN=OFF, the github plugin option is no more accessible (and the web viewer no more used).
