* All items shapes are converted to polygons.
* Polygons are merged layer by layer (for calculation time reasons,zones are not merged)
* for copper layers, vias and pads holes are substracted from polygons (but, for calculation time reasons, not inside zones areas).
* the look is better, mainly when displaying the copper thickness
* solder and paste layers are now shown in 3D viewer.
* the code was seriously cleaned (but still needs to be enhanced).
* Note this is a work in progress which needs refinements.
This seems to me like the defacto standard for this menu command.
* Added a default filename for save as. Currently it's set to
"Unnamed file" using _() so its translatable.
* Changed the save dialog in PCBnew to use the path of the "original"
file as a base for the new file.
* Fix both legacy and s-expression netlist readers when footprints are
assigned in the netlist.
* Add some helper functions to NETLIST for detecting when footprints are set
or not set and when they have been changed while loading the .cmp file.
* Rename a few functions to improve their readability.
* Tweak the NETLIST_READER code to allow for component footprint names that
are not found in any library to generate a warning instead of an error and
update the board accordingly.
* Don't display undo warning in netlist dialog when dry run option selected.
* Rename netlist_reader_common.cpp to netlist_reader.cpp
* Rename netlist_reader_firstformat.cpp to legacy_netlist_reader.cpp
* Rename netlist_reader_kicad.cpp to kicad_netlist_reader.cpp
* Remove cvpcb/read_write_cmpfile.cpp and move the single function it
contained into cvframe.cpp
* Remove cvpcb/loadcmp.cpp and move the single function it contained into
class_DisplayFootprintsFrame.cpp.
* Remove cvpcb/readschematicnetlist.cpp and move the single function it
contained into cvframe.cpp.
* Remove cvpcb/setvisu.cpp and move the few functions it contained into
the appropriate source file.
* Create separate NETLIST object to hold contents of netlist files.
* Read entire netlist and footprint link files before making applying
changes to board.
* Add BOARD::ReplaceNetlist() function to eliminate the calls between the
NETLIST_READER, PCB_EDIT_FRAME, and BOARD objects.
* Change placement of new components below the center of the current board
or in the center of the page if the BOARD is empty.
* Add dry run option to netlist dialog to print changes to message control
without making changes.
* Add button to netlist dialog to allow saving contents of message control
to a file.
* Eliminate the need to compile netlist_reader_*.cpp in both CvPcb and Pcbnew.
* Add netlist_reader_*.cpp to the pcbcommon library.
* Remove redundant load component link file code from CvPcb.
* Modify CvPcb new to work with the new NETLIST_READER object.
* Add compare() function and < and == operators to FPID object.
* Add REPORTER class to hide an underlying string writing implementation for
use in low level objects. Thank you Dick for the idea.
* Lots of minor coding policy, Doxygen comment, and missing license fixes.
New classes:
- VIEW - represents view that is seen by user, takes care of layer ordering & visibility and how it is displayed (which location, how much zoomed, etc.)
- VIEW_ITEM - Base class for every item that can be displayed on VIEW (the biggest change is that now it may be necessary to override ViewBBox & ViewGetLayers method for derived classes).
- EDA_DRAW_PANEL_GAL - Inherits after EDA_DRAW_PANEL, displays VIEW output, right now it is not editable (in opposite to usual EDA_DRAW_PANEL).
- GAL/OPENGL_GAL/CAIRO_GAL - Base Graphics Abstraction Layer class + two different flavours (Cairo is not fully supported yet), that offers methods to draw primitives using different libraries.
- WX_VIEW_CONTROLS - Controller for VIEW, handles user events, allows zooming, panning, etc.
- PAINTER/PCB_PAINTER - Classes that uses GAL interface to draw items (as you may have already guessed - PCB_PAINTER is a class for drawing PCB specific object, PAINTER is an abstract class). Its methods are invoked by VIEW, when an item has to be drawn. To display a new type of item - you need to implement draw(ITEM_TYPE*) method that draws it using GAL methods.
- STROKE_FONT - Implements stroke font drawing using GAL methods.
Most important changes to Kicad original code:
* EDA_ITEM now inherits from VIEW_ITEM, which is a base class for all drawable objects.
* EDA_DRAW_FRAME contains both usual EDA_DRAW_PANEL and new EDA_DRAW_PANEL_GAL, that can be switched anytime.
* There are some new layers for displaying multilayer pads, vias & pads holes (these are not shown yet on the right sidebar in pcbnew)
* Display order of layers is different than in previous versions (if you are curious - you may check m_galLayerOrder@pcbnew/basepcbframe.cpp). Preserving usual order would result in not very natural display, such as showing silkscreen texts on the bottom.
* Introduced new hotkey (Alt+F12) and new menu option (View->Switch canvas) for switching canvas during runtime.
* Some of classes (mostly derived from BOARD_ITEM) now includes ViewBBox & ViewGetLayers methods.
* Removed tools/class_painter.h, as now it is extended and included in source code.
Build changes:
* GAL-based rendering option is turned on by a new compilation CMake option KICAD_GAL.
* When compiling with CMake option KICAD_GAL=ON, GLEW and Cairo libraries are required.
* GAL-related code is compiled into a static library (common/libgal).
* Build with KICAD_GAL=OFF should not need any new libraries and should come out as a standard version of Kicad
Currently most of items in pcbnew can be displayed using OpenGL (to be done are DIMENSIONS and MARKERS).
More details about GAL can be found in: http://www.ohwr.org/attachments/1884/view-spec.pdf
the crosshair after zooming.
This method is only used when the ALT key is held while using the mousewheel or
if it's permanently enabled in the options dialog next to the middle mouse
button panning option.
Pcbnew: in netlist dialog: The user now can choose between the netlist and the .cmp file to import footprints names.
Therfore no need to delete the .cmp file when exists to use only the netlist.
This is useful for users who use CvPcb only once to fill footprints fields in schematic, and after edit/modify the footprints fields in schematic outside CvPcb.
* Improve MSG_PANEL_ITEM to handle message panel information.
* Create containers for passing message panel items between objects and
the message panel.
* Rename EDA_ITEM::DisplayInfo to EDA_ITEM::GetMsgPanelInfo.
* Remove all direct manipulation of EDA_DRAW_FRAME from all objects derived
from EDA_ITEM.
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.
fix a compil warning.
CvPcb: fix regressions :
Shows now a void field instead of the dummy footprint name $nonane (whenthere is no footprint selected in netlist).
The active footprint selection changes only if a new component is selected from the component file,
and does not change just when the next component is automatically selected, after a footprint selection.
Speed up delete association and auto associe.
Other scaling factors (MILS_TO_IU_SCALING_FACTOR and DECIMILS_TO_IU_SCALING_FACTOR)
also defined only in convert_to_biu.h.
Allows different scaling value for Gerbview.
Needs more tests.

}
* All objects derived from EDA_ITEM now have consistent hit test method
definitions.
* Remove double function calls from all classes derived from SCH_ITEM.
* Lots of Doxygen comment fixes.
* 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.
* Removed Pcb_Frame argument from BOARD() constructor, since it precludes
having a BOARD being edited by more than one editor, it was a bad design.
And this meant removing m_PcbFrame from BOARD.
* removed BOARD::SetWindowFrame(), and BOARD::m_PcbFrame
* Removed the global BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS which was in class_board.cpp
* added BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS to the BOARD class, a full instance
* a couple dialogs now only change BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS when OK is pressed,
such as dialog_mask_clearance, dialog_drc, etc.
* Removed common/pcbcommon.cpp's int g_CurrentVersionPCB = 1 and replaced it
with build_version.h's #define BOARD_FILE_VERSION, although there may be a
better place for this constant.
* Made the public functions in PARAM_CFG_ARRAY be type const.
void SaveParam(..) const and void ReadParam(..) const
* PARAM_CFG_BASE now has virtual destructor since we have various way of
destroying the derived class and boost::ptr_vector must be told about this.
* Pass const PARAM_CFG_ARRAY& instead of PARAM_CFG_ARRAY so that we can use
an automatic PARAM_CFG_ARRAY which is on the stack.\
* PCB_EDIT_FRAME::GetProjectFileParameters() may no longer cache the array,
since it has to access the current BOARD and the BOARD can change.
Remember BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS are now in the BOARD.
* Made the m_BoundingBox member private, this was a brutally hard task,
and indicative of the lack of commitment to accessors and object oriented
design on the part of KiCad developers. We must do better.
Added BOARD::GetBoundingBox, SetBoundingBox(), ComputeBoundingBox().
* Added PCB_BASE_FRAME::GetBoardBoundingBox() which calls BOARD::ComputeBoundingBox()
* 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.
* symbol in sch library have only single footprint filter,
* footprint filter have no wildcards,
* according footprint exists in pcb lib.
This could remove need in long equ files for lots of ICs.
* Grammar and spelling fixes in Eeschema, CvPcb, and Pcbnew path and
library dialog tool tips.
* Translate the French file name subrill.cpp to highlight.cpp.
* Lots of coding style policy fixes.
* 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.
* All header files used to create the PCB common library now compile as
stand alone code. This prevents the need to define them in a specific
order to make source code compile properly. It should also now be
possible to relocate the source code to build the common PCB library
to a separate folder.
* Move various locate functions into the appropriate board item object.
* Unified best zoom for all frames derived from PCB_BASE_FRAME.
* Remove track.cpp as it is no longer needed.
* Dead code removal.
* Remove scary frame window pointer member from board item objects.
* Add draw bounding box to gerber draw item for debugging purposes.
* Replace use of wxICON by new icons declaration.
* Remove unused files.
* Fix filenames inconsistencies between old and new icons.
* dialog_erc handle variable size icons in erc matrix.
Remove or move old .ico and .pgn files and add new icons (.ico files and .png files) in bitmaps_png/icons and bitmaps_xpm/icons
.png files and .ico are used to build desktop shortcuts
Handle variable size bitmaps in kicad.
* Changed <wx-2.8/xml/xml.h> to "xnode.h" in pcbnew_config.cpp to fix bug
when building against wxWidgets 2.9 and above.
* Convert broken wxXmlNode code to use XNODE.
* Overloaded XNODE constructor for creating child nodes.
* Translate French naming conventions.
* Translate French comments.
* Remove tabs from several source files.
* Coding style policy and Doxygen comment fixes.
