These pads were plotted as a segment. This is not the right way.
Pads must be flashed or plotted as regions, not painted.
They are now plotted as Gerber regions round rectangle pads.
These regions are similar to flashed pads.
Previously, the region was a usual polygon with arc approximated by segment.
Using a region with arcs is a better way because it allows CAM tools to
identify this region as a round-rect pad.
A side effect is a better shape and smaller files, however not really noticeable in fact.
Please note that the symbol cache is not embedded in the schematic file
to allow for round robin testing with the existing file format. Once
the parser round robin testing is complete, the symbol cache will be
embedded in the schematic file.
Previously, for historical reasons, they were added only if
Include Netlist Attributes option was on.
But Aperture Attributes have nothing to do with Netlist Attributes, and good
Gerber files must include them.
Let cmake generate the needed version strings, so we don't
have to spend program time doing it. This simplifies the
settings manager versioning.
Also, convert some file line endings to UNIX from Windows.
A more robust fix for https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/4015.
Some buggy SVG interpreters can't handle 0-length ovals. In this case,
they are meant to be circles, so we can export as circles in our
plotter.

When editing pcb items, the creation of a new net to connect existing
pads or traces can be a useful shortcut. This inserts the ability to
optionally create a new net from the Net Selector dropdown menu.
The canvas size is not guaranteed to be strictly > 0, so we need to
enforce a minimum returned size before dividing by it or passing to GAL
initialization
Replace SEVERITY_ERROR by RPT_SEVERITY_ERROR to avoid collision with a system definition.
Replace other SEVERITY_XXX by RPT_SEVERITY_XX for consistency.
Fix compil warnings and some other compil issues.
CHANGES: Symbol library file format has been converted to s-expressions.
Add support code for picking apart symbols at some future junction that
will allow full inheritance conversion of existing symbol libraries. For
now, symbols arranged by unit and body style numbers are nested for round
robin testing of symbol libraries once the parser is complete.
Config values were not stored into the right variables.
Make also an option persistent during the session
in DIALOG_UPDATE_PCB and DIALOG_NETLIST
DIALOG_UPDATE_PCB and DIALOG_NETLIST match options: use same order in dialogs.
