A few methods differed by the number or type of arguments in derived
classes. They were changed to match the base class method signature and
marked as 'override'.
legacy plugin: better compatibility with old brd files (current track width and current vias size, stored in SETUP section, were not read from file and incorrectly set)
2) Change from legacy Cu stack to counting down from top=(F_Cu or 0).
The old Cu stack required knowing the count of Cu layers to make
sense of the layer number when converting to many exported file types.
The new Cu stack is more commonly used, although ours still gives
B_Cu a fixed number.
3) Introduce class LSET and enum LAYER_ID.
4) Change *.kicad_pcb file format version to 4 from 3.
5) Change fixed names Inner1_Cu-Inner14_Cu to In1_Cu-In30_Cu and their
meanings are typically flipped.
6) Moved the #define LAYER_N_* stuff into legacy_plugin.cpp where they
can die a quiet death, and switch to enum LAYER_ID symbols throughout.
7) Removed the LEGACY_PLUGIN::Save() and FootprintSave() functions.
You will need to convert to the format immediately, *.kicad_pcb and
*.kicad_mod (=pretty) since legacy format was never going to know
about 32 Cu layers and additional technical layers and the reversed Cu
stack.
D_PAD::GetNetname() and D_PAD::GetShortNetname() were moved to BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM. Now they use the net name stored in NETINFO_ITEM.
Moved some one-line functions from class_board_connected_item.cpp to class_board_connected_item.h.
Added a copyright notice, moved Doxygen comments from class_board_connected_item.cpp to class_board_connected_item.h.
I have some doubts if changes introduced pcbnew/dialogs/dialog_pad_properties.cpp do not break anything, but I could not find a test case that breaks the pcbnew.
Performed tests:
- changed pad's net name from empty to existent - ok, name was changed
- changed pad's net name from empty to nonexistent - ok, error message is displayed, net name stays empty
- changed pad's net name from existent to empty - ok, net name became empty
- changed pad's net name from existent to nonexistent - ok, error message is displayed, net name is not changed
- (re)reading netlists, including net changes - fine, changes are applied, but empty nets are still kept
- loaded pcbnew/pcad2kicadpcb_plugin/examples/CK1202_V1.pcb to test P-CAD import plugin - ok, net names are correct
- imported an Eagle 6.0 board (Arduino Uno; http://arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/arduino_Uno_Rev3-02-TH.zip) then saved in .kicad_pcb format and reloaded - ok, net names are correct
- saved demos/video/video.kicad_pcb in legacy format and then loaded it again - ok, net names are correct
