Eagle plugin: filter and replace not allowed chars in FPID(-':' and '/') by _ or -, if they are used in Eagle footprint names (otherwise, boards converted and saved under kicad_pcb format are not readable by Pcbnew).
pass into an HTML rendering panel and otherwise look goofey.
*) Implement BOARD::Move() can call it from EAGLE_PLUGIN::Load().
*) When USE_FP_LIB_TABLE, tolerate blank nicknames in FPIDs coming from eeschema.
See the switch for this in pcbnew/netlist.cpp as ALLOW_PARTIAL_FPID.
*) Add an assert and a try catch block to figure out that View does not
like some eagle pcb board. bitset::set() is getting a -1 value and firing
an exception.
* Make footprint editor work properly with library table.
* Fix bug in Eagle plugin when comparing file timestamps.
* Fix bug in footprint viewer when error occur loading footprints from
the selected library.
* Fix error message display by in footprint viewer on library load error.
* Make footprint viewer work properly with library table.
* Fix bug in Eagle plugin when enumerating footprints.
* Add missing P-CAD plugin from footprint library table editing dialog.
* Fix bug in FOOTPRINT_INFO::LoadLibraries when error occur loading footprints
from libraries.
* Use FPID instead of wxString in MODULE object.
* Use FPID instead of wxString when loading and saving files.
* Use FPID in COMPONENT object.
* Add wxString helper functions and comparison operators to FPID.
* Add fp_lib token to pcb and netlist file formats.
* Add code to load and save FPIDs to pcb file format.
* Fix segfault when deleting invalid footprint library tables in Pcbnew
in non footprint library table build.
* Fix bug when counting the number of mod files in
EDA_APP::SetFootprintLibTablePath();
* Complete encapsulation of the ZONE_CONTAINER class.
* Fixed a bug in the EDA_TEXT::Format() default effects behavior due to
improper conversion to internal units and missing test for default
thickness.
* Improved grammar of some Pcbnew context menu strings.
* Moved some more cleverly hidden BOARD object methods into class_board.cpp.
* Lots of coding policy and documentation fixes.
* Complete encapsulation of the MODULE class.
* Complete encapsulation of the EDA_TEXT class.
* Encapsulate most of the ZONE_CONTAINER class.
* Add pcbcommon library as a dependency for reSWIGging the scripting
support. This should cover most dependency cases.
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.
This required the additional compiler command line option "-std=c++0x".
2) Switch to unique_ptr from auto_ptr which is C++ deprecated.
3) Change to new English layer names per mailing list discussion, see class_board.cpp.
4) When saving to *.kicad_pcb or *.kicad_mod, identify opportunities to use wildcard
layer sets, for pads so far.
5) Switch to two std::string hashtables in pcb_parser.cpp, away from one wxString based one
for layer names and layer sets mapping. One hashtable holds the mask, the other the index.
Layer sets are only in the mask table.
6) Move "LOCALE_IO toggle" into PCB_IO::Format() since it is a public API function and
caller should find it as convenient as possible to use. LOCALE_IO should handle
nesting OK in the case where public Format() is called from one of the Footprint*()
functions.
7) Drop support for "export module to new library". Creating new libraries will have to
be handled in concert with library table entries, and we've talked recently about
creating a better footprint library manager, one that resides in a DLL/DSO. So
this kind of functionality needs to be handled in there in the near future.
8) Change name of exported PCB_IO module/footprint to *.kicad_mod and not *.emp.
pad and via sizes from those settings when diameter is not given
in the local object. Calculation algorithms are inferred from the
UI help of the Eagle program.
For edge connector type of footprints, some copper pads can be on the
back side even within packages.
Flipping of packages to back was not being done correctly, but I think this
is working now.
There are still remaining issues with text positioning that I am working on.
* Derive the pcbnew copper zone and non-copper zone dialog windows from DIAG_SHIM,
which injects some template code.
* Update UIpolicies.txt to talk about DIALOG_SHIM support.
* Add zone support to eagle_plugin.
* Organize ZONE_CONTAINER class declaration for future privacy and accessors.
