CHANGED: Ctrl-middle mouse button double click should perform
'Zoom to Objects' in Eeschema, but a change in modifier key handling
broke it. This MR restores the functionality.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7803
This fix required sorting all of the LIB_PART draw items to ensure
accurate comparison between the symbols stored in the schematic and the
original library symbols. This has a noticeable impact on symbol library
load performance. It may also cause significant changes the next time
the library is saved due to changes in the draw item sorting. Hashing
may be a better solution here but this addressed the immediate problem.
A skeleton method SCH_SCREEN::SwapSymbolLinks() was added because there
is most likely an issue with orphaned symbols in the schematic library
symbol cache during undo/redo operations. More testing is required to
verify this.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/7263
We don't actually allow the user to change this at present, so one
could argue that we should remove it from what is saved out of the
config. But this is a smaller, safer change.

CHANGED: KiCAD allows connecting components directly together in
schematics. If the user drags one of the components, KiCAD
adds a wire to keep the conection intact. It should do the same for
net and global labels but it doesn't.
This MR adds net and global labels to the list of items that can connect
to other items.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7713
Junctions should only be wire endings when ending directly on the wire.
This is the requirement for netlisting, so we need to follow it in the
auto-end as well.
SCH_LABEL needs to allow ending because any wire that touches the label
will be connected, so there's a use case for this. However, the
bounding box for local labels did not include their connection point, so
we increase that box a bit. Note that this might have the opposite
effect to https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/7689
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7714
CHANGED: BOM generator plugins are no longer loaded by
searching all plugin directories; instead a
fixed default set of plugins is provided.
Also:
- Move from sexpr to JSON
- Support both full-path and no-path specifications of plugins
- Add a Reset to Defaults button to reset the list
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/7633
The move tool can stack on others, so when we re-enter the previous tool
this caused another immediate action. We flag re-entry in the tool
stack to check for this and avoid unexpected tool starts
I think the guessSelectionCandidates narrows down to a single item
in 99.9% of cases, so we can probably remove this entirely. But for
now it's safer just to fix it.
When a user clicks on the "Add Component", "Add Power" or "Add Footprint"
icon, they want to add the item. Requiring an extra click on the screen
before selecting the component/footprint is not needed.
