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
* PCBNew remembers last net list read during the current editing session
as well as between project editing sessions. Closes bug 576902.
* Separate PCBNew application settings from project file settings and
allocate them dynamically instead of statically to make it easier to
eliminate global variables.
* Implement code to allow wxDC to handle coordinate conversions between
device and drawing units.
* Add build settings to enable wxGCDC for wxGraphicsContext testing.
* Remove wxAUI conditional build cruft as it is now required to build
Kicad.
* Fix scroll increment size regression to prevent jumping around the
zoom center position.
* Add find GDI+ cmake module for building on WXMSW when wxGraphicsContext
is enabled.
* Fix debug asserts when passing NULL pointers to wxAuiPaneInfo.
* Fix Kicad main window sash sizer bug when using wxAui.
* Remove specctra_test from Visual Studio builds to prevent build errors.
* Add WIN32 to layer widget test so it will build properly on Visual Studio.
* Fixed compiler conversion warnings in PCBNew.
* Fixed worksheet print scaling in PCBNew.
* Minor code renaming.
* Create single event handler for grid size events.
* Fix all frame windows to use new grid size event handler.
* Use offset relative to ID instead of ComboBox index to save last grid size.
* Move last grid size load/save setting into WinEDA_DrawFrame.
* Add equality and assignment operators the GRID_TYPE.
* Add current grid helper methods to BASE_SCREEN.
* Add GetPins helper to LIB_COMPONENT to replace GetNextPin where applicable.
* Add AppendMsgPanel helper to WinEDA_DrawFrame.
* Improve rounding for display of coordinates when millimeter units are selected.
