wxUpdateUIEvent events can be sent to parent frames, when opening a menu in a child frame, if parent and child frame share same ID fro menuitems (or tools)
The wrong menuitem can be used in some cases ( because there are more than one menuitem with the same identifier), by a wxUpdateUIEvent event function run in a parent frame.
Most of the GAL tools are activated by corresponding buttons on the right toolbar.
Removed menu entry for PNS router (as it is activated as the usual "Add track" tool).
Now footprints, after loaded by reading a netlist are grouped by sheets by the footprints spread function, and the grouping is better.
Rename 2 files. Fix minor issues. Clean code
(useful for boards having more than 2 layers)
Eeschema:fix compatibility with old schematic files, when they contain ERC markers.
Pcbnew: better test for allowed layers when creating/editing Dimensions and some other Graphic items
Drc: fix comments and messages for some drc tests.
Fix minor bugs in cleanup dialog options and plot solder mask function (thanks to Lorenzo to locate these bugs)
Moved switching canvas routines to pcbnew, as they are used only there right now (otherwise libgal would have to be linked to every Kicad application).
Because now there are 2 formats, board backup files extensions are .brd-bak or .kicad_pcb-bak instead of the old .000 extension, depending on the initial file format.
* Add footprint methods to PCB_IO.
* Add FP_CACHE and FP_CACHE_ITEM for handling new footprint library design.
* Add code to save legacy libraries in new format.
* Change behavior of BOARD_ITEM::GetLayerName() to return the default layer
name when the item does not have a BOARD as a parent.
* Minor changes to the module output formatter when writing to module library
files (no BOARD as parent).
* Add new (and some that I forgot along the way) CMake flags to
EDA_BASE_FRAME::CopyVersionInfoToClipboard().
* Add -Wno-narrowing to GCC flags to stop GCC 4.7 from complaining about
a conversion from int to unsigned in the Boost polygon library.
* Add INPUT_STREAM_READER to richio.cpp to allow using any object derived
from wxInputStream as a LINE_READER (needs to be validated).
This is *a work in progress*, so some features are missing, and/or could be modified.
Mainly keepout zones are not yet exported to autorouters, and pads are not taken in account.
Some code cleanup in polygon.*
* Correct all user strings and comments for the correct capitalization of
application names according to JP. They are KiCad, Pcbnew, CvPcb,
Eeschema, and GerbView.
* Add a note the the user interface policy about the correct capitalization.
