* Enables USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT for OSX by default. This shouldn¡¯t be a
major change because it seems to get used on OSX behind the scenes anyway.
As a side effect, this might improve behavior with anti-aliasing because
KiCad shifts drawing by (0.5, 0.5) into the middle of the virtual pixels so
things may be less blurry. It will still build without enabling
USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT, but the optimizations obviously won¡¯t be used.
* The optimizations currently only are effective when USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT
is enabled and OSX. They might be also good for other platforms using
USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT because it aggregates some drawing primitives using
paths wxGraphicsContext provides.
* It adds some #ifdefs for disabling the wxGraphicsContext stuff when
USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT isn¡¯t enabled. If you hate #ifdefs, this also
could be dropped but then it will always check if wxGraphicsContext can be
applied.
* Update the developer road map document.
* Update the compiling KiCad from source document to reflect recent build
changes.
* Change Cairo library version to 1.8.8 to fix build issues on CentOS 6.
* Remove download and build Boost from source and all CMake boost source build
dependencies.
* Make FindCairo.cmake use pkg-config when it's available not just all
platforms except windows.
* Add version checking to FindCairo.cmake.
* Change find GML version to 0.9.5.1 which is the current version in Ubuntu
14.04 LTS.
* Update required Cairo version to 1.12.1.
* Fix broken include path in FindGLM.cmake ( credit Cirilo Bernardo ).
* Fix if()/endif() warning in FindGLM.cmake.
* Remove trailing white space in FindGLM.cmake.
* Fix bug introduced in r6363 that inadvertently made OpenMP a required
dependency instead of an optional dependency.
* Remove quiet flag for FindOpenMP to report findings.
* Bump minimum CMake revision to 2.8.12. The CMake position independent code
handling was introduced in CMake 2.8.9 but 2.8.12 is current version in
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS which is a very popular distro.
* CMake provides a simple declarative statement to enable PIC, so no compiler
dependent handling is required.
* There is also no need to tell Boost to build with -fPIC, their build system
is smart enough.
CMake 3.0 defines two new variables:
* CMAKE_CXX_VISIBILITY_PRESET and
* CMAKE_VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN
to control whether symbols not explicitly tagged for export are implicitly
exported. Because only version 3.3 and later also applies that to static
libraries when in 3.3 mode, compatibility code is added as well.
When the minimum required version is bumped to 3.3, this code becomes
obsolete and a warning is displayed that the compatibility code should be
removed as well.
footprint wizard frame: now shows messages from footprints python scripts. Especially usefull when a parameter is incorrect. Fix also an other issue (IO exception error) with some python scripts when they are usin a print command to output messages (now they use the new message window.
* Use CMake add_custom_target() to run WriteVersionHeader.cmake as a command.
* Modify WriteVersionHeader.cmake to be run as a command instead of a macro.
* Add version header creation as a CMake common library build dependency.
* Add cached CMake variable KICAD_BUILD_VERSION when build version is defined during
configuration.
* Fix CMake macro create_bzr_version_header to always update version.h file whenever a repo change
is found. Running `make rebuild_cache is no longer required.
* Add new CMake function for writing version.h file.
* Always use version.h file for build version string instead of meaningless hard coded date.
* Only use bzr version string when build version is not defined at configuration time for stable release
version strings.
* Minor cleanup of FindBazaar.cmake.
* Remove unnecessary version.h.cmake file.
* Remove global s_NetObjectslist.
* Separate out non-owning version of NETLIST_OBJECTS_LIST into NETLIST_OBJECTS.
* Fix double free pertaining to ~NETLIST_READER().
* Remove all file-io from CvPCB.
* Remove exe launcher cvpcb, retain only cvpcb.kiface, since cvpcb.kiface has no file i/o.
* Add void CVPCB_MAINFRAME::KiwayMailIn( KIWAY_EXPRESS& mail ) and teach it to use old
netlist loading code with a STRING_LINE_READER LINE_READER.
* Fix BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE( CVPCB_MAINFRAME, KIWAY_PLAYER )
The GCC/LLVM specific handling for adding -fvisibility options is later in
this file, so these options would only be added on the second invocation
without clearing the cache.
* Remove redundant definition of KICAD_DATA_PATH since DEFAULT_INSTALL_PATH
was already defined.
* Use DEFAULT_INSTALL_PATH as the substitution for the default environment
variable paths.
* Add option to define DEFAULT_INSTALL_PATH during CMake configuration with
fall back to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX if not not defined.
* Developer note: this change is primarily for package builders where
CMAKE_INSTALL_PATH is the path where the package builder temporarily
installs the build output before creating the package. When building
packages, DEFAULT_INSTALL_PATH should be set to the path where the
package will be installed by default.
* Add support for setting python site package path to PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGE_PATH.
* Move configure_file() so WXPYTHON_VERSION is already initialized before creating
config.h (Duh!).
* Add status message to indicate the version of wxPython found.
* Add test to CMakeLists.txt to verify wxPython is installed when
KICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON=ON.
* Add test to make sure wxPython version major and minor numbers match
the version of wxWidgets found.
* Add code to set the correct version of wxPython to the python scripting
initialization code.
* Minor code simplification in Pcbnew KIFACE main window creation.
* Using a Web navigator embedded in Kicad can create security issues in Kicad.
* The web kit is not always easily available on Linux.
* There is now a tool in kicad fp lib wizard to list and select the .pretty libs available on Github Kicad repo (When the kicad plugin is selected, this tool can download and make a local copy of these libs)
However, using -D KICAD_USE_WEBKIT=ON when invoking cmake still build the embedded web viewer.
Fix issue when using a page layout file in project folder: eeschema and Pcbnew did not use it, unless using an absolute path.
Now, if the file path is nor absolute, it is seen as relative to the project (which is the expected behavior)
fp lib wizard: when pcbnew id compiled with USE_GITHUB_PLUGIN=OFF, the github plugin option is no more accessible (and the web viewer no more used).
