* Uncouple SCH_COMPONENT::GetRef() from SCH_SHEET_PATH and use SCH_SHEET
instead.
* Uncouple SCH_COMPONENT::GetUnitSelection() from SCH_SHEET_PATH and use
SCH_SHEET instead.
* Fix all calls to GetRef() and GetUnitSelection() to pass a pointer to the
appropriate SCH_SHEET object instead of an SCH_SHEET_PATH object.
* Use wxGrid to edit default fields in option dialog which allows user to
directly instead a separate edit panel.
* Implement TransferData{To,From}Window methods.
* fix minor coding style issues.
* remove unused member in modview_frame.
* use different frame names in ctor of modview_frame and viewlib_frame depending on the fact they are built modal or not modal (allowing identifications when calling wxFindWindowByName)
* change questionnable code in class_libentry.cpp.
* remove unused code in class_treeproject_item.cpp
Including the inline of the Output directory and its text field/browse button.
Moving the plot format to the left of the plot options as the plot options depend on the plot format.
* Create base class EDA_PATTERN_MATCH to hand multiple pattern matching methods.
* Create classes for regular expression and wildcard pattern matching.
* Add new pattern matching semantics to component select dialog.
* Thanks to Henner Zellar <h.zeller@acm.org> for improvments to the original patch.
In polygon calculations (combining polygons, fracture) the mode of calculation (fast or strictly simple polygon option) as no more a default value, because choosing the best mode is better to optimize the calculation time.
* Add code to SCH_SHEET object to clear annotation.
* Change SCH_COMPONENT::GetPath() to derive path from SCH_SHEET object instead
of SCH_SHEET_PATH object.
* Remove clear annotation code from SCH_SCREENS object.
* Make SCH_SHEET parent the SCH_SHEET object that loaded it. This preserves
the hierarchy when the schematic is loaded.
* Add function to SCH_SHEET to find the root sheet from any sheet in the
hierarchy.
* Add functions to SCH_SHEET to create the path and human readable paths for
any sheet without relying on the external SCH_SHEET_PATH object.
* Remove function LocatePathOfScreen from SCH_SHEET since it was not used
anywhere.
* Add human readable path to message panel information for SCH_SHEET.
* Set the name of the root sheet to "root" instead of the default generated
when a new SCH_SHEET is created.
* Set the empty sheet name and file name to "root" and "noname.sch" when
Eeschema is opened with no schematic.
* When no item is at the current position on a left mouse click, show the
current sheet information in the message panel.
* Add less than operator for sorting SCH_SHEET objects by path length and
time stamps when the path lengths are the same.
* Component doc: add https as prefix in list of urls which are opened by a Internet browser.
* Import .cmp files: Use "IdModule" instead of "IdModule =" as keyword for footprint name and use '=' only as separator.
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.
* Removed outdated package maker information, the pmdoc is generated and does
not belong in the KiCad tree, it is also highly specific as seen due to the
references to /Users/marco. This is not used in normal builds nor in the
packaging for KiCad OSX nightly builds.
* Updated identifiers in package marker docs to remove references to sourceforge
and to follow other identifiers.
Pcbnew: Plot files: for copper layers, create suffix from user copper layer names instead of default copper layer names, like in last stable Kicad version (bzr 4022), to build the plot files filenames.
Better test of illegal chars in plot filename, both in plot dialog and functions aclled by Python scripts.
Fix a Plotcontroller issue to make SetUseGerberExtensions() work as expected from Python scripts ( from Henner Zeller'patch with a fix to be sure it works properly from a Python script)
Note also using Protel Gerber Extensions is now a bad practice, because the official Gerber extension is .gbr since X2 Gerber version. But some users still use them)
* Make the about dialog help string consistent across all menus.
* Improve print preview window and print initialization error messages.
* The usual smattering of coding policy fixes.
* Only check for search cache update on close dialog event instead of every
update of the find/replace view which caused an infinite loop when replace
all was called.
* Check for dirty search cache for each find/replace event.
* Add code to save and restore last replace index on cache refresh.
* Rename Eda_FileSelector to EDA_FILE_SELECTOR.
* Add optional pointer to wxString to save the most recently used path to EDA_FILE_SELECTOR.
* Rename Eda_DirectorySelector to EDA_PATH_SELECTOR.
* Replace wxGetCwd() with wxStandardPaths::GetDocumentsDir(). This fixes the windows issue
where wxGetCwd() returns the path where the executable files are located.
* Add code to handle most recently used path to EDA_BASE_FRAME.
* Fix string formatting error in kicad/files-io.cpp.
* Remove setting and restoring current working directory when launching GerbView. Setting the CWD
has no effect on the launched executable which starts with it's own CWD.
* Allow project path to be passed to GerbView when launched from KiCad.
* Note: this is a work in progress. Do not expect every path and/or file selection dialog to properly
update the most recently used path. The correct solution to this problem requires a much more
well though out solution which will not happen until after the next stable release.
Fix a very minor issue about accelerator key in help menu: for "Eeschema Manual" of library browser it was "H". It is now "M" like in other help menus.
