*) When kicad.exe closes a project, close any open KIFACEs so that they cannot
get disassociated from their true PROJECT.
*) Allow loading eeschema library editor from kicad.exe
*) Allow loading pcbnew library editor from kicad.exe
*) Rename LIB_COMPONENT to LIB_PART.
*) Add class PART_LIBS, and PART_LIB.
*) Make PART_LIBS non-global, i.e. PROJECT specific.
*) Implement "data on demand" for PART_LIBS
*) Implement "data on demand" for schematic SEARCH_STACK.
*) Use RSTRINGs to retain eeschema editor's notion of last library and part being edited.
*) Get rid of library search on every SCH_COMPONENT::Draw() call, instead use
a weak pointer.
*) Remove all chdir() calls so projects don't need to be CWD.
*) Romove APPEND support from OpenProjectFiles().
*) Make OpenProjectFiles() robust, even for creating new projects.
*) Load EESCHEMA colors in the KIWAY::OnKiwayStart() rather in window open,
and save them in the .eeschema config file, not in the project file.
*) Fix bug with wxDir() while accessing protected dirs in kicad.exe
*) Consolidate template copying into PROJECT class, not in kicad.exe source.
*) Generally untangle eeschema, making its libraries not global but rather
held in the PROJECT.
In common.cpp GetTimeStamp is renamed GetNewTimeStamp (a better name).
Pcbnew: prepare work to calculate connections between pads that inteserct and therefore can be connected without any track (composite pads).
* Replace Eeschema find code with a collector based implementation.
* Fixed a search bug when all subsequent searches of an item would ignore
the remaining valid child items when an item had more than one child
item that matched the search criteria.
* Add SCH_FIND_COLLECTOR class to find all items that meet the specified
search criteria.
* Add SCH_FIND_COLLECT0R_DATA to keep track of information for all matching
items.
* Use collector to iterate over the list of items that match the search
criteria rather than trying to start at the last matched item.
* Remove unused searching methods from sheet path and sheet path list
objects.
* Add replace and replace all functionality to Eeschema find dialog.
* Push matching methods down to EDA_ITEM class so they can be used by
other derived objects.
* Add method to EDA_ITEM to test if item supports replacing.
* Add flag to find/replace data to support replace feature.
* Disable wild card matching check box when dialog is in replace mode as
wild card replacement is not supported at this time.
* The usual Doxygen comment and coding 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.
* 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().
