In Render, colors shown were the default colors, not the selected colors, when starting Pcbnew or Gerbview,
because colors were not updated after reading the config.
(WxWidgets 2.9.1 seems call setlocale( LC_NUMERIC, "" ) when wxConfig read doubles stored in config, but forget to back to current locale.)

dialogs.
* Improve reference counting in schematic screen object.
* Add helper type definitions for changing schematic object storage to C++
containers.
inches and mm, the industry is crazy enough to force us with mixed
design. For example I routinely use imperial units for track size and
clearance, but drilling is strictly a metric issue...
So I added a little parser to recognize a suffix specification in the
unit text boxes... so you can put in things like:
1in (1 inch)
1" (idem)
25th (25 thou)
25mi (25 mils, the same)
6mm (6 mm, obviously)
The rules are: spaces between the number and the unit are accepted, only
the first two letters are significant.
As a bonus, it also recognize the period (.) as a decimal point
substituting it with the correct locale character (there was a wishlist
for it, IIRC). Most useful for number pad fans :D

device and drawing units.

caused by prematurely deleting the module editor's m_Pcb pointer, which has the same value (points to the same structure) as
g_ModuleEditor_Pcb hence should not be
deleted.
pads option.) Haven't fixed the via issue
(since I don't quite understand why it is doing this, nor does it occur in 100% of the cases), but now you can just
turn
off magnetic tracks when I desire to move vias by small increments. Magnetic tracks are on by default. Original
via complaint here:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/kicad-devel/message/1155
Also mostly gotten rid of the annoying "Unable to drag this segment: two collinear segments" error. Now, if two
(or more) segments are collinear, they are merged into one equivalent segment when you try to drag them while
maintaining slope. I can't imagine any cases where this would be a bad thing (and I have plenty of experience where
the error was not desired!). Note I say *mostly* because there still seem to be some length=1 (e.g. 0.003mm) segments
at the end of valid-length segments. I do not want to remove them because this would change the board layout, though
in a basically imperceptible way. We could maybe have an option to clean & remove these minimal-length segments, but
I worry that they serve to connect things slightly off grid & those things on-grid; also, removal may cause DRC
errors. It would be good if we could avoid their creation.(?)
* backspace key now deletes segments and vias both while editing a new track and while
modifying old ones
* internal layers can be accessed via F5-F8
* when creating a new trace, switching between layers with the Pageup, PageDown, and
F5-F8 hotkeys inserts a via. (warning: i did not test this with blind vias; however, it
calls Other_Layer_Route, so should still work)
* spelling fix
