NEW: add new align icons based on the existing align_items.svg icon, just flipped and rotated
CHANGED: change the context menu to use the new align icons
Local net labels are preceded with sheetpath (even for single sheet
schematics it is '/') causing net name conflicts between schematics and
layout. It can be easily avoided by using exclusively global net
labels, at the cost having uglier schematics.
After Eagle project import, schematic and board netlists are inconsistent:
footprints do not have sheetpaths assigned, schematics are unannotated.
One can update netlist either by references or timestamps, but timestamps
are empty in pcbnew, and updating by reference must by preceded by
annotation which may lead to broken links between board and schematics
(Eagle does not require references to end with a number, so KiCad annotater
will add numbers in such cases).
To fix the problem, there is a two step netlist update:
- update by reference without the annotation step, to assign
correct sheetpaths to footprints
- update by timestamp, after symbols are annotated, in order to
update references in the board

Board update KiWay request may now contain options in the message
payload:
- "no-annotate": do not enforce annotation
- "quiet-annotate": annotate without displaying a dialog
- "by-reference": update netlist by reference, no dialog displayed
- "by-timestamp": update netlist by timestamp, no dialog displayed
Git is always used to generate the KiCad version string using the
command `git describe --dirty`. This gives a more concise and
accurate version string than the previous method. When git is not
available, the version string defaults to the value defined in
KiCadVersion.cmake. It is imperative that moving forward that the
default version string be updated the commit following a git tag
so that when git is not available, the last known commit following
a git tag will at least give some usable information about which
development branch of KiCad was used for a build.
Sheet file name paths were not being saved and restored properly under
certain conditions when walking the sheet hierarchy causing schematic
load errors.
Changed debugging output to use wxLogTrace left over from last fix.
