Git is always used to generate the KiCad version string using the
command `git describe --dirty`. This gives a more concise and
accurate version string than the previous method. When git is not
available, the version string defaults to the value defined in
KiCadVersion.cmake. It is imperative that moving forward that the
default version string be updated the commit following a git tag
so that when git is not available, the last known commit following
a git tag will at least give some usable information about which
development branch of KiCad was used for a build.
Both official one and KiCad one version of FindwxWidgets.cmake do not check if
all the required components are part of the wxWidgets build. This couses trouble
on Ubuntu when user misses libwxgtk3.0-dev package - CMake succeeds, build does
not.
This fix was accepted also to the CMake 3.9 upstream
(https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/merge_requests/704).

Define empty string variable KICAD_BRANCH_NAME that can be used as an
optional version string element. When git is used to build the version
string, this variable is set to the git branch name. It can also be
defined at configuration time as an optional string appended to the
$KICAD_VERSION variable.
Define empty string variable KICAD_VERSION_EXTRA that can be set by
the user at configuration.
The variables KICAD_BRANCH_NAME and KICAD_VERSION_EXTRA are only
appended to KICAD_VERSION if they are set. Otherwise, only KICAD_VERSION
is uses as the version string.
Update the developer building from source document to reflect the changes.
When the version string in KiCadVersion.cmake is set to something other
than the default "no-vcs-found", it ignores the git version even if a
.git folder exists in the source folder.
Remove the KICAD_REPO_NAME option from the main cmake file and the
generated config.h file since it is no longer used.
Set the default branch name to "undefined" in CreateGitVersionHeader.cmake
instead of the KICAD_REPO_NAME option.
Remove generating KICAD_FULL_VERSION from CreateGitVersionHeader.cmake
and add it to WriteVersionHeader.cmake so that the default settings and
the new KiCadVersion.cmake definitions can be used to generate the full
version string as well.
Check to see if the branch name is set and only use the version to
generate the full version string. This allows the use of the KiCad
version cmake file to create a version only string like "4.0.4" with
no trailing branch name.
Change build_version.cpp to use the full version string rather than
concatenating the version and branch strings.
Add KiCadVersion.cmake to set the build version and branch name.
Update WriteVersionHeader.cmake to include KiCadVersion.cmake to set
the defaults in case no .git directory is found.
This commit also simplifies the rewrite logic slightly, removing the
regex parsing.

cmake: rewrite version header when branch changes
Before, only KICAD_BUILD_VERSION, which includes the hash but not the
branch, was compared when deciding whether to regenerate
kicad_build_version.h. This header also contains the branch name though,
so we should compare both to address the case of two branches pointing
at the same commit.

*) Extend SWIG support deeper into the BOARD class.
*) Move swig *.i files into a directory identified for SWIG, in preparation
for a parallel universe involving Phoenix's SIP.
*) Move swig files which will be common to both eeschema and pcbnew into
common/swig.
*) Sketch out a "common" python module, and plan on dovetailing that into a
libkicad_shared.{dll,so}
*) Add common/swig/ki_exceptions.i and define a macro HANDLE_EXCEPTIONS()
which is to be applied to any function which needs C++ to python
exception translation.
*) Move the test for SWIG tool into top level CMakeLists.txt file for use
in all python modules beyond pcbnew, i.e. eeschema and common.
*) Add SWIG_MODULE_pcbnew_EXTRA_DEPS which generates a better Makefile, one
which rebuilds the swig generated *.cxx file when one of its dependencies
change.
*) Re-architect the board.i file so that it can be split into multiple *.i
files easily.
*) Make some KIWAY from python progress, in preparation for Modular KiCad
phase III.
It is no longer necessary (or sensible) to include a simulated bzr
revision number, and we can reliably get a branch name now. Therefore,
the new version strings look like:
(2016-08-26 revision 67230ac)-master
| | |
| | branch name, "HEAD" if not on a branch,
| | or "unknown" if no .git present
| |
| abbreviated commit hash, or no-git if no .git
| present
|
date of commit, or date of build if no .git present

* Factor out PROPERTIES object from the PCB plugin code and move it into
common so it can be used by both the Pcbnew and Eeschema plugins.
* Add schematic I/O plugin manager for loading and saving schematic and
component library files.
* Add initial attempt at a parser for current schematic file format. This
parser will be infinitely more strict than the current parser which is very
forgiving in what it parses.
* Make minor changes to the base bitmap class to support the new parser.
* Add find root sheet support to sheet object to allow fetching the root
sheet from any sheet in the stack.
* Remove tasks that are not going to be completed by FOSDEM 2017 release
(hopefully) announcement.
* Update item task lists to reflects changes discussed at CERN meeting.
* Update item status to reflect the current state of the tasks.
* Add a few new changes that are slated for release.
* Revise the generic road map by deleting complete items and adding new items
discussed at CERN meeting.
* Remove unused definition from config.h.cmake.
* The FindSWIG.cmake shipped with CMake 3.0 does not yet look for the
"cmake3.0" binary, this was added shortly after the 3.0 release.
* This file can be removed once the minimum CMake version is 3.1 or greater.
