Select the first library in the list and the first symbol in the first
library if they exist the first time the symbol viewer is opened.
Prevent clicking on the next or previous toolbar buttons from wrapping
past the end of the symbol list to mimic the behavior of the up and down
arrow key strokes.opens a select
library dialog.
Use incriminating or decrementing the current symbol selection when using
the next and previous symbol toolbar buttons rather looking up the next
symbol in the library. Just use the next or previous symbol name in the
list.
Replace the select library and select symbol from library list dialogs
which where redundant with the symbol search dialog used in place symbol
tool in the schematic editor. This gives the user type ahead search and
selects the library and symbol in one dialog.
Move updating toolbar buttons from the ReCreateHToolbar() function into
dedicated wxUpdateUIEvents.
Break Process_Special_Functions() into individual event handlers.
Remove PART_LIB::GetNextEntry() and PART_LIB::GetPreviousEntry() as they
are no longer required due to the changes to the symbol library viewer.
Purge wxT() macros from all modified source files.
Rename PART_LIB GetEntryNames() and RemoveEntry() to GetAliasNames() and
RemoveAlias() respectively for improved readability.
Rename PART_LIBS FindLibraryEntry() to FindLibraryAlias() improved
readability.
Remove commented out PART_LIBS::FindLibraryEntries().
Remove PART_LIB::GetFirstEntry() and update all effect code accordingly.
Remove unused PART_LIB::SetFileName() method.
Remove unused PART_LIBS::RemoveAllLibraries() method.
By rethrowing the exception here, the entire caching process is
curtailed if there is an IO_ERROR while parsing a lib. This means any
libs up to the one before the bad one will be cached, but ones after it
wil not be.
Change to wxLogError to gather the errors to present to the user at the
end of the process.
Make LIB_PART copy constructor take a const LIB_PART reference.
Add SaveSymbol to legacy symbol library plugin.
Add removeAlias to legacy symbol library cache.
Add AddSymbol to legacy symbol library cache.
* Rename redundant function PART_LIB::GetEntry() to PART_LIB::GetAlias() which
is more descriptive and move the GetAlias() function which was nothing more
than a call to GetEntry().
* Write SCH_LEGACY_PLUGIN_CACHE object for handling the legacy symbol library
file format.
* Write legacy symbol library file parser.
* Write code to transfer cache to PART_LIB object so existing library save
code can be used for round trip testing. This is temporary until Eeschema
is updated to use the plugin for library management rather than PART_LIB.
* Add LIB_XXXX object helper functions where there was no way to set the member
variables of an object.
* Give the cache object friend status to some object where there are incredibly
byzantine ways of setting text in LIB_XXXX objects.
* Remove unused sort and make upper case options from PART_LIB::GetEntryNames()
and PART_LIB::GetEntryTypePowerNames() since they were never used anywhere in
the code. All comparisons are case sensitive and the array of names is always
sorted.
* 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.
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.
Schematic component properties dialog: add 2 helper buttons to manage the chip name (name of the corresponding part in lib)
- a browse button to chose an other chip name
- a test button, to know if the part exists. If not existing, list the parts found when searching using a case insensitive comparison.
However to be compatible with old versions of Eeschema, when a search in library fails, a case insensitive search is made.
Therefore, this version should be compatible with sch files created by previous Eeschema versions compiled with KICAD_KEEPCASE = OFF

and save them in the .eeschema config file, not in the project file.

*) Consolidate template copying into PROJECT class, not in kicad.exe source.
*) Generally untangle eeschema, making its libraries not global but rather
held in the PROJECT.
was used locally. Then comment it out in favor of a newer strategy for
filling in nicknames in cvpcb.
Add MODULE* FootprintLoadWithOptionalNickname( const FPID& aFootprintId )
throw( IO_ERROR, PARSE_ERROR );
from code found elsewhere.
The desire is to migrate designs *away from* case independence, and to create
designs which use literally (case specific) interpreted component names. But for
backwards compatibility, you may turn OFF this option if you really must.
(Remember that with KiCad using text data files, typically you would be better
off simply doctoring those files into a case literal state with a text editor
and move forward into the brave new world of case specificity. Also, BOM
generators may not work properly when you have this option turned OFF, the xml
export's referential integrity is broken on library part name. Hence the default
is ON now, as of 29-Jan-2014.
* Create separate NETLIST object to hold contents of netlist files.
* Read entire netlist and footprint link files before making applying
changes to board.

use in low level objects. Thank you Dick for the idea.
* Lots of minor coding policy, Doxygen comment, and missing license fixes.
In common.cpp GetTimeStamp is renamed GetNewTimeStamp (a better name).
Pcbnew: prepare work to calculate connections between pads that inteserct and therefore can be connected without any track (composite pads).
* Move the component library save file creation and write error dialogs
into the appropriate frame object.
* Change the save component library and document definitions take an
OUTPUTFORMATTER object instead of a file name.
* Change the component alias save document definition function to take
an OUTPUTFORMATTER object instead of a file handle.
* Use version of DateAndTime that returns a wxString and delete the
version that takes a char* as it is no longer required.

single function for comparing strings with integers and remove a lot
of duplicate code.

and implements initial support for replacing.
