CHANGED: The text variable ${SHEETNAME} now always represents the name of the
sheet when used anywhere in the schematic editor, including the title block
ADDED: A new text variable ${SHEETPATH} which is replaced with the path to the
current sheet - e.g. "/Sheet 1/Sheet 2".
To ensure backward compatibility, the default drawing sheet now uses
${SHEETPATH}. Custom drawing sheets will need to be manually edited.
We only need one bottom to top layer sequence definition.
Plot a sequence of layer IDs (LSEQ) in the order of the sequence.
Add helper method to layer set (LSET) to create a sequence of layer IDs
using another sequence for ordering.
Use 4 digits in mantissa as default and when exporting SVG.
Allow 0 as line width: this is the right value to draw filled shapes with no outline thickness.
Bitmaps are now identified by an enum class instead of by pointers.
Bitmap loading and caching is now handled by a class in common, and
we no longer compile most bitmaps into the binary, so there is no
longer a bitmaps static library.
Instead, bitmaps are archived to a .tar.gz file which is installed
in ${KICAD_DATA}/resources/images.tar.gz
The source PNGs are checked in to Git as the original CPP files were,
so that people can build without the required dependencies to convert
SVGs to PNGs.
Initial support is also added for dark theme icons, although this
is not yet exposed in the GUI.
Stubs are present for multi-resolution image resources, but this is
not fully-baked yet and could use some refinement.
You had to set the line width in the SVG export dialog in order to
change the displayed line width in the 3d viewer. The line width did
not affect the SVG export. Removing in favor of the Board design
settings for line widths
ADDED new rectangle graphics tool for PCBNew and Footprint Editor.
Also adds rectangle tool to both Footprint Editor and PCBNew Place
menus.
The Aux Origin tool can come back once we have multi-select toobar
buttons.
Also collapses an unnecessary level out of the auxOrigin and gridOrigin
settings.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/2246
Replace SEVERITY_ERROR by RPT_SEVERITY_ERROR to avoid collision with a system definition.
Replace other SEVERITY_XXX by RPT_SEVERITY_XX for consistency.
Fix compil warnings and some other compil issues.
CHANGED: Settings are now stored in versioned sub-directories
ADDED: First-run dialog for migrating settings from a previous version
CHANGED: Settings are now stored as JSON files instead of wxConfig-style INI files
CHANGED: Color settings are now all stored in a separate settings file
CHANGED: The symbol editor and footprint editor now have their own settings files
CHANGED: Color settings are no longer exposed through BOARD object
CHANGED: Page layout editor now uses Eeschema's color scheme
Settings are now managed through a central SETTINGS_MANAGER held by PGM_BASE.
Existing settings will be migrated from the wxConfig format on first run of each application.
Per-application settings are now stored in one class for each application.
The standard DIM() macro was not typesafe as it happily deferred errors
to runtime that can be caught at compile time. Replacing it with a
generic C++11 constexpr allows for typecasting, comparison and compile
time error checking.
