Pcbnew: in netlist dialog: The user now can choose between the netlist and the .cmp file to import footprints names.
Therfore no need to delete the .cmp file when exists to use only the netlist.
This is useful for users who use CvPcb only once to fill footprints fields in schematic, and after edit/modify the footprints fields in schematic outside CvPcb.
* Create new GEDA PCB plug in.
* Add support for opening GEDA PCB footprints with module editor.
* Make import footprint file dialog remember last selected footprint
type during current session.
* Update module editor file import to use new GEDA PCB plug in.
* Let IO_MGR know about GEDA PCB plug in.
* Create a WHITESPACE_FILTER_READER to simplify parsing GEDA PCB footprint
files.
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.
* Add footprint methods to PCB_IO.
* Add FP_CACHE and FP_CACHE_ITEM for handling new footprint library design.
* Add code to save legacy libraries in new format.
* Change behavior of BOARD_ITEM::GetLayerName() to return the default layer
name when the item does not have a BOARD as a parent.
* Minor changes to the module output formatter when writing to module library
files (no BOARD as parent).
* Add new (and some that I forgot along the way) CMake flags to
EDA_BASE_FRAME::CopyVersionInfoToClipboard().
* Add -Wno-narrowing to GCC flags to stop GCC 4.7 from complaining about
a conversion from int to unsigned in the Boost polygon library.
* Add INPUT_STREAM_READER to richio.cpp to allow using any object derived
from wxInputStream as a LINE_READER (needs to be validated).
Kicad manager: shows now svg files in tree files.
Pcbnew: fix incorrect printing (board out of page) when creating drill map in postscript format ( noticeable mainly for small boards)
* Move board item object Format() functions into PCB_IO object.
* Change file format to use layer names instead of numbers.
* Change file extension to kicad_pcb.
* Save dialog now supports saving boards to new file format.
* Add CMake option to build s-expression file save.
* Add check to main CMakeList.txt file to make sure nanometers are
enables when the new file format is built.
* Minor tweaks to object format functions for improved output.
* Rename kicad_plugin.h/cpp to legacy_plugin.h/cpp.
