The variables in the common settings struct are only updated on
save, so Python must use the ones from Pgm to get its values.
This does lead to the observation that Python's changes to the
variables do affect KiCad (they can break resolvers). So apparently
it can mess with us but we can't mess with it easily.
Also, improve the environment variable tracing infrastructure to capture
more changes.
Before this, the environment variables inside Python wouldn't reflect
the updates to them made after the interpreter was started in Pcbnew.
This will call into Python and set the variables when they are changed,
since Python can't synchronize itself when running in an embedded
interpreter.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5071
- Fix file extension for new project
- Fixes for exceptions on MSW
- Fix some ASAN issues
- Allow SETTINGS_MANAGER to run headless
- Don't flag schematic as modified after schematic setup is closed
- Don't automatically unload projects when LoadProject is called
- Don't unload project if it's the same as the current one
- Make sure to properly init/de-init template field names
Various architecture upgrades to support this.
Creating a BOARD now requires a valid PROJECT, which caused
some (mostly transparent) changes to the Python API internals.
ADDED: Project local settings file
CHANGED: Board design settings are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Net classes are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Importing board settings now reads boards, not just projects
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/2578
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/4070
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 old methods were very clunky and not recommended (and didn't
properly cast the function types). This changes to useing the
recommended way of declaring events and casting the event handlers.
the old way was not compatible with the current management if board item lists.
The crash was probably due to double deletions.
Note also the management of undo command in pcbnew_action_plugins needs serious optimization.

Fix Board.GetAllNetClasses() so it no longer creates a duplicate of the Default netclass in the design rules net classes list.
Fixes: lp:1803623
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1803623
* Remove infinite recursion calls in footprint.i
* Extend DRAWINGS deque iterator to auto cast contained BOARD_ITEMS,
similar to what dlist implementation did.
Always check the return value of PyRun_SimpleString() for errors when a
Python script is run and show an error message rather than fail silently.
Enable Python interpreter I/O redirection in debug builds so that script
string errors will be shown when PyRun_SimpleString() is called.
Do not call PyErr_Print() after a PyRun_SimpleString() call failure. It
doesn't do anything useful.
Do not call Py_Finalize() after a PyRun_SimpleString() call failure. It
seems to cause Pcbnew to crash.
Give the user the option of cancelling a file open if there are
segment zones; otherwise they're converted to polygon fills.

When moving user user units out of the global, we missed that Python
calls were using it. This re-adds a function to retrieve user units
allowing the python scripts to show users dialogs in their preferred
units.
