their type, by using the more abstract PLUGIN::Footprint*() functions.
This is an intermediate phase only, other changes will be necessary as library table support comes in.
Encapsulate usage of library path searching, since that will go away as library table support comes in.
Add FOOTPRINT_EDIT_FRAME::{get,set}LibPath() and FOOTPRINT_EDIT_FRAME::{get,set}LibNickName() functions
to provide this encapsulation.
* 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).
which is in turn already within BOARD.
* encapsulate class D_PAD with accessors, making data private.
* make D_PAD::GetBoundingRadius() do its longer calculation lazily, based on
m_boundingRadius == -1.
* Move auto save time global variables into PCB_EDIT_FRAME object.
* Move footprint library name list global variable int PCB_EDIT_FRAME
object.
* Improve library back up and temporary file error message strings and make
them translatable.
* PCBNew string unification.
* Translate French code names and comments.
* Coding style policy and Doxygen comment fixes.
* Rename all ADD_MENUITEM_* functions to AddMenuItem and move them to
wxstruct.h since they are used by the Kicad main frame classes.
* Move SET_BITMAP and SETBITMAPS definitions to wxstruct.h.
* Fix a bug in SET_BITMAPS that prevented enabling menu item images on
OSX.
* Rename MsgItem to EDA_MSG_ITEM.
* Remove redundant includes from modified files.
* Doxygen and coding style policy fixes.
* Check user write permissions before saving project, board, and footprint
library files.
* Append read only to file name and path in title bar when the user
does not have write privileges.
* Rename class WinEDA_ModuleEditFrame to FOOTPRINT_EDIT_FRAME.
* Lot's of Doxygen comment and coding style policy fixes.
* Move undo item copy global variable into schematic editor frame object
member variable.
* Add helper methods for accessing the undo item copy member variable.
* Fix undetected bug when changing a text type.
* Added an exchange command to the undo/redo base class for handling undoing
a changed item type which cannot be undone by swapping out the variables.
* Revert change to common/hotkeys_basic.cpp that broke hot key behavior.
* Lots of coding policy changes while making the changes above.
* Fix grid select box update bug on context menu.
* Fix via size and track width select box update bugs.
* Fix layer pair indicator button update bug.
* Fix auto track width tool bar control enable bug.
* Fix via size and track width select status bug in context menu.
* Fix layer select box and layer control widget select bug when current
layer is removed.
* Add virtual function to notify objects derived from EDA_DRAW_FRAME that
the units setting has changed.
* Coding policy class naming fixes.
* Old control state handling code completely removed in all applications.
* Factor common control state handlers into EDA_DRAW_FRAME.
* Replaced EDA_ITEM test for newness with IsNew() method.
* Factor vertical right toolbar command handlers out of giant edit command
switch statement in EESchema and PCBNew.
* Remove unused member variable m_SizeVisu from base screen object.
* Move nearest grid position code into base screen object.
* Add get cursor position method to base screen object.
* Add position parameter to OnHotKey method in base draw frame and all
derived objects.
* Pass logical position on left mouse button click and double click
events instead of device position.
* Pass logical position to on right mouse button click instead of device
position.
* Use logical event position parameter for locating items in EESchema
instead of the stored position.
* Remove unused position parameter when displaying component edit dialog
in EESchema.
* Comment out debugging macro in eeschema/template_field_names.cpp that was
preventing debug builds using wxWidgets 2.8.x.
* Move schematic wire and bus break code into schematic screen object.
* Move schematic test for dangling ends into schematic screen object.
* Remove left over debugging output in schematic screen object.
* Remove unused file eeschema/cleanup.cpp.
* Fix bug in schematic line object hit test algorithm.
* Fix a string concatenation compile error added in r2752.
* Rename class WinEDA_BasicFrame to EDA_BASE_FRAME.
* Rename class WinEDA_DrawFrame to EDA_DRAW_FRAME.
* Rename class WinEDA_DrawPanel to EDA_DRAW_PANEL.
