as a starting point
* Make double Distance() take double arguments and remove internal range checking.
* Start on EDA_DRAW_FRAME::AdjustScrollBars() and use "double" for most all calculations
in anticipation of setting INT_MAX INT_MIN limits eventually.
* Remove internal units from BASE_SCREEN and it's derivatives.
* Remove internal units from EDA_DRAW_FRAME and it's derivatives.
* Use build time code to replace internal units conversions.
* Fix scaling bug in page layout sample window that I created in my
last commit.
* BLOCK_SELECTOR class is not longer derived from EDA_ITEM.
* Encapsulate BLOCK_SELECTOR class member variables and add access methods.
* Move HandleBlockBegin() function from block_commande.cpp to drawframe.cpp.
* Remove virtual methods from top level derived objects per future
coding policy change.
* Remove Doxygen copydoc statement from objects derived from EDA_ITEM
since the comments are automatically copied to the derived object.
* Removed copy and pasted Doxygen comments from objects derived from
EDA_ITEM.
* EDA_DRAW_PANEL completely encapsulated.
* Moved OSX m_overlay member from EDA_DRAW_PANEL to EDA_DRAW_FRAME where
it is used.
* Doxygen comment warning fixes.
* EDA_DRAW_FRAME completely encapsulated except for DrawFrame member.
* Moved members specific to Pcbnew from EDA_DRAW_FRAME to PCB_BASE_FRAME
or PCB_EDIT_FRAME as appropriate.
* Replace EDA_TOOLBAR with wxAuiToolBar as EDA_TOOL bar provided no
additional functionality and made code less readable.
* Remove EDA_TOOLBAR class definition from wxstruct.h and delete file
wineda_toolbar.cpp.
* Rename tool bar members to something more descriptive since the
horizontal and vertical references wont mean anything once the
tool bars are movable.
* Lots of dead code removal.
* Use version of DateAndTime that returns a wxString and delete the
version that takes a char* as it is no longer required.
* Merge StrNumICmp() and StrLenNumICmp() into StrLenNumCmp() to create a
single function for comparing strings with integers and remove a lot
of duplicate code.
* Remove unused strupper from string.cpp.
* Use wxArrayString for sorting the EDA_LIST_DIALOG contents.
* Modify algorithm to correctly calculate the virtual drawing size and
offset required to place the drawing correctly under all conditions.
* Ignore default wxWidgets scroll keys on Windows in EDA_DRAW_PANEL key
event handler.
* Create command event handler for orienting schematic items and block.
* Remove redundant orient item and block command handler code and IDs.
* Remove redundant cancel current command event table entry.
* Remove unnecessary schematic bitmap object virtual functions.
* Set path when saving schematic sheet files to prevent assertion in
updated path and file write permission test function.
* Restore directory and file name write permission test function to it's
previous behavior to prevent unexpected save results.
* Add an assertion to verify the path is not empty to directory and file
write permission test function.
* Improve documentation for path and file write permission test function.
* Fix Doxygen link warnings.
* Factor test for auto save file into base frame class.
* Added auto save feature to Eeschema for saving schematics, addresses
launchpad question 173631.
* Add auto save interval control to Eeschema options dialog.
* Fix problem with subsequent auto saves in last commit.
* Factor auto save common code into base frame class so all frame windows
can take advantage of the shiny new auto save goodness.
* Use a timer instead of depending on mouse and keyboard events to trigger
an auto save.
* Check for auto save file when opening a board and ask user if they
wish to use the auto save file or the last saved board file.
* Protect all base frame public members.
* Correct all user strings and comments for the correct capitalization of
application names according to JP. They are KiCad, Pcbnew, CvPcb,
Eeschema, and GerbView.
* Add a note the the user interface policy about the correct capitalization.
* 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.
* Add general purpose user write permission test function to base
window class.
* Check user write permissions before saving project, schematic and
library files.
* Remove displaying file dialog every time the project file is saved.
* Display absolute paths for non-root sheet file in title bar.
* Remove redundant command table entry from schematic editor.
* Remove unused variables to fix GCC 4.6 warnings.
* The usual Doxygen comment and coding style policy fixes.
* Change class WinEDA_MsgPanel name to EDA_MSG_PANEL per coding policy.
* Change some old set message panel code in PCBNew with updated message
panel methods in EDA_DRAW_FRAME.
* Remove unused global function Affiche_1_Parametre.
* Minor Doxygen warning fixes.
* Add item clarification context menu to EESchema when multiple unresolved
items are found at the current cross hair position.
* Add collector class SCH_COLLECTOR for supporting multiple item hit testing.
* Removed bit wise masked filtering from schematic item hit testing.
* Removed all old hit testing functions and methods scattered about the
EESchema source code.
* Move terminal point test function into SCH_SCREEN object.
* Fixed bug in terminal point test when terminating a bus to a label.
* Define the < operator for sorting schematic items.
* Add area calculation method to EDA_Rect item.
* Add method for returning an item's bitmap for menu display purposes.
* Add method for returning an item's menu text for menu display purposes.
* Changed EDA_ITEMS container from boost::ptr_vector to std::vector.
* Factor coordinate string conversion code from EDA_DRAW_FRAME to function
CoordinateToString().
