* Split and rewrite the preview window and canvas.
* Create a new class for handling the board information.
* Adds new render targets: openGL, legacy, and ray tracing.
* Render targets take full advantage of the new 3D plugins system and 3D cache
for a fast 3D model loading.
* Faster board loading.
* New OpenGL render is faster than the old one.
* New ray tracing render target with a post processing shader.
* Use of new 3D plugins (WRL, X3D, STEP and IGES) and 3D model caching.
* Preview of 3D model while browsing the file name.
* 3D preview of the footprint while adding / align 3D shapes.
* Render of 3D models according to attributes: Normal, Normal+Insert, Virtual.
* Pivot rotation centered in one point over the PCB board.
* Shortcuts keys improved for XYZ orientation..
* Animated camera.
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.
* Mainly the wxDialog that was opened when the wizard is created is now no more created by the wizard frame CTOR. On some W.M. it created a serious issue related to the way Event Loops are managed. Now the user has to call it by the toolbar tool.
* 2 settings not saved in config are now saved.
* a few other minor enhancements
* better icon in footprint wizard frame
Remove a few #define relative to the wxWidgets 2.8 version, no more supported.
Modedit, GAL mode: fix a crash when a duplicated area includes the ref or value fields.
Add missing bitmap for pad enumerate.
fix bad flag for Portuguese language.
Fix a few typo in messages.
Text arrays can now use "%s" as a placeholder to be substituted with the array index.
Also expand menu options for move exact, arrays and duplicate.
Minor fixes for arrays - use proper unit parsing, add numbering start for circular arrays
Add circle radius indicator to array dialogue
3dviewer: back to double (from float) in class S3D_MASTER for 3 members (m_MatScale, m_MatRotation, m_MatPosition) which are used in dialogs and r/w file functions, which expect double.
Using float create minor but unwanted issues in r/w file functions.
S3D_MATERIAL: enable all color options: if a 3d shape has bad color parameters, the shape must be modified, not the 3d rendering.
The rendering now matches what we see in other vrml viewer like FreeCAD.
Some minor coding style fixes.
Add a workaround to fix a new bug in wxWidgets 3.0 ( Windows specific ) which shows icons only with a size = 16x16 in menus which have attribute wxITEM_CHECK
Add missing calls to Show( false ) to some main frames (Kicad, eeschema, gerbview), to force config saving when closing these windows.
Code cleanup and minor coding style fixes in footprint_wizard_frame
* Add third list control with library names.
* Add button to toolbar to select filter by library name.
* Add bitmap for filter by library name toolbar button.
* Remove custom UI colors from list controls.
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.
Kicad manager: shows now svg files in tree files.
Pcbnew: fix incorrect printing (board out of page) when creating drill map in postscript format ( noticeable mainly for small boards)
* serious code cleanup (remove duplicate code)
* shows (option in 3D preference menu) the copper items (tracks, zones...) in 3D, using 35 microns copper thickness.
However, because there are a lot more3D data to show (roughly 4 times more), this is slower.
All: press ctrl+shift key when moving the mouse allows the graphic cursor to be moved outside the grid.
(useful to place graphic objects, texts in any position, regardless the current grid)
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.*
Should allow Pcbnew code easier to change and Gerbview code more understandable and easier to maintain.
Code cleaning (remove dead code, add comments).
Minor other enhancements.
Eeschema: one string with a bad char (\a, not useable in internationalized strings).
Dialog_page_settings: use not translated strings in code, so strings can be freely translated for the UI.
(Initial code was not working with existing translations)
Update 2 icons.
* make 2 bitmaps more visible.
* fix incorrect screen redraw when rotating a component.
* netlist : the pcbnew advanced format can be now stored (persistant option) in project config.
Pcbnew:
* graphic_item_properties_base.fbp * dialog pad edit: make some strings more easier to translate.
* global pad edition: fix a bug that change pad position instead of pad size (round pas only).
Eeschema:
* fix a bug: new created wires were not alwaes shows until the screen was redrawn.
* Added a dialog to select options: one or 2 files, units (mm or inch), and force INSERT option.
* code cleaning
* Modify corresponding icon in menu to show a footprint, not a schematic component.
note: the Module editor save it with default orientation and layer, but the archive function does not, so some footprints can be not editable.
TODO: modify the Archive Function to use the default layer / orientation.
Fix bug 880132 (Justify not correct)
Note: justifications are now always relative to the text, in libedit (as before) and schematic editor:
if rotated, justification is rotated, because in Pcbnew rotation can have any value.
More about code refactoring in connect.cpp: RecalculateAllTracksNetcode() is 50 times faster with a board using 27000 tracks
Use right icon in pcbnew for load board and new board.
* Move various locate functions into the appropriate board item object.
* Unified best zoom for all frames derived from PCB_BASE_FRAME.
* Remove track.cpp as it is no longer needed.
* Dead code removal.
* Remove scary frame window pointer member from board item objects.
* Add draw bounding box to gerber draw item for debugging purposes.
* Replace use of wxICON by new icons declaration.
* Remove unused files.
* Fix filenames inconsistencies between old and new icons.
* dialog_erc handle variable size icons in erc matrix.
Remove or move old .ico and .pgn files and add new icons (.ico files and .png files) in bitmaps_png/icons and bitmaps_xpm/icons
.png files and .ico are used to build desktop shortcuts
Handle variable size bitmaps in kicad.
