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.
derived classes' implementations of these functions become non virtual and
can be truly _inlined_ for speed! All GetPosition() in derived classes were also
changed to return const wxPoint&, that is, a reference rather than a
full copy of the position wxPoint. There was no need for polymorphism in
{Get,Set}Position() since we never call these functions via generic pointer.
* Remove BOARD::{Get,Set}Position() since they were only there to satisfy
the pure virtuals established in BOARD_ITEM, which are now gone.
* Added const wxPoint& CPolyLine::GetPos(), made CPolyLine::Get{X,Y}() inline.
* Derive CPolyPt from wxPoint so we can return "const wxPoint&" fromt
CPolyLine::GetPos().
which is in turn already within BOARD.
* encapsulate class D_PAD with accessors, making data private.
* make D_PAD::GetBoundingRadius() do its longer calculation lazily, based on
m_boundingRadius == -1.
* Eeschema can generate this netlist format.
* Pcbnew can use (automatic identification) the current format or the new format.
* Cvpcb does not use yet the new format.
* Enhance class PLUGIN's comments to improve their value as instructional.
* Switch #includes from "file.h" to <file.h>, and fiddle with search paths
by using include_directories(BEFORE ...)
* dialog_page_settings did not have symmetrical space on its right border.
And it now remembers it last position and size within a program session.
* base_screen.cpp is now compiled twice, once for {pcbnew,cvpcb} and once
for eeschema, in preparation for "compile time" support of internal units
rather than "runtime" support.
sizes. Tested with postscript output only. Required minor file format changes
to reflect the "portrait" setting. common/dialogs/dialog_page_settings.cpp
uses a checkbox but its name is "Landscape", which is inverted from portrait,
but since it is the more common choice, I used that rather than portrait.
The tooltip for that checkbox makes it clear. No portrait mode is supported
for "User" paper size.
* A track is seen connected to a pad if the track end is inside the pad shape.
* Pads inside pads are now seen connected, if the center of the pad is *inside* the other pad.
* this is made to be sure a large copper area is shared by the 2 pads, and to keep algorithm fast.
* changed all the RotatePoint() functions in trigo.{h,cpp} to take a double as the
angle, which is still in tenths of degrees for now.
* EDA_TEXT::m_Orient is now double, still in tenths of degrees (for a short while),
but the double means parsing files and saving them use a different format string.
++pcbnew
* DRAWSEGMENT::GetStart() and GetEnd() do not operate for S_ARC like they used to.
They are now simply accessors for m_Start and m_End. Use DRAWSEGMENT::GetArcStart()
and GetArcEnd() and GetCenter() for arcs. specctra_export.cpp was the only
source file dependent on the old behavior.
* DIMENSION::m_Text is now contained, not dynamically allocated.
* more kicad_plugin work.
* added BOARD::GetPad(int), made BOARD::m_NetInfo private, and contained
within the BOARD, not dynamically allocated and owned via pointer.
* added BOARD::GetPadCount()
* changed NETINFO_LIST::GetCount() to GetNetCount()
* added BOARD::GetNetCount()
* more kicad_plugin work.
* Removed Pcb_Frame argument from BOARD() constructor, since it precludes
having a BOARD being edited by more than one editor, it was a bad design.
And this meant removing m_PcbFrame from BOARD.
* removed BOARD::SetWindowFrame(), since BOARD::m_PcbFrame gone.
* Removed the global BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS which was in class_board.cpp
* Added BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS to the BOARD class, a full instance
* A couple of dialogs now only change BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS when OK is pressed,
such as dialog_mask_clearance, dialog_drc, etc.
* Removed common/pcbcommon.cpp's int g_CurrentVersionPCB = 1 and replaced it
with build_version.h's #define BOARD_FILE_VERSION, although there may be a
better place for this constant.
* Made the public functions in PARAM_CFG_ARRAY be type const.
void SaveParam(..) const and void ReadParam(..) const
* PARAM_CFG_BASE now has virtual destructor since we have various ways of
destroying the derived classes and boost::ptr_vector must be told about this.
* Pass const PARAM_CFG_ARRAY& instead of PARAM_CFG_ARRAY so that we can use
an automatic PARAM_CFG_ARRAY which is on the stack.
* PCB_EDIT_FRAME::GetProjectFileParameters() may no longer cache the array,
since it has to access the current BOARD and the BOARD can change.
Remember BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS are now in the BOARD.
* Made the m_BoundingBox member private, this was a brutally hard task,
and indicative of the lack of commitment to accessors and object oriented
design on the part of KiCad developers. We must do better.
Added BOARD::GetBoundingBox, SetBoundingBox(), ComputeBoundingBox().
* Added PCB_BASE_FRAME::GetBoardBoundingBox() which calls BOARD::ComputeBoundingBox()
* Removed Pcb_Frame argument from BOARD() constructor, since it precludes
having a BOARD being edited by more than one editor, it was a bad design.
And this meant removing m_PcbFrame from BOARD.
* removed BOARD::SetWindowFrame(), and BOARD::m_PcbFrame
* Removed the global BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS which was in class_board.cpp
* added BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS to the BOARD class, a full instance
* a couple dialogs now only change BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS when OK is pressed,
such as dialog_mask_clearance, dialog_drc, etc.

Added BOARD::GetBoundingBox, SetBoundingBox(), ComputeBoundingBox().

Enhanced algorithms to calculate board connections:
Previously, a track was seen connected to a pad only if the track end is
exactly on the pad position.
Now a track is seen connected to a pad if the track end is inside the pad shape.
Algorithm to calculate pads connections to track is still very fast.
However some other functions (drag pads, track len calculation ...)
still need the track end exactly on the pad position.
Dead code removal.
* Add hotkey "P" - place item
* Add record and play macros for sequence hotkey.
Macros set to numeric key 0..9.
<Ctrl>+<numkey> - start record macros
<hotkey> <mouse move> ... <hotkey>|<mouse place>
<Ctrl>+<numkey> - end record macros
<numkey> - play macros
* Add menu save/read macros to/from xml-file
* Add configure rotate angle for rotate module: 45 or 90 deg.
* fix segfault when move/drag segment if disconnected to pad
Eeschema:
* Graphic texts ans labels: fix fully broken undo/redo code relative to the way undo/redo command
* handles changes (maintly move) for labels
* Fix minor bug for undo command relative to block rotate
* Remove dead code.
* Add new class BITMAP_BASE, and (for Eeschema) SCH_BITMAP to handle bitmap images in schematic.
Remember plot Bitmaps in not possble with all plotters.
* macros.h now has TO_UTF8() and FROM_UTF8() which are working converters
to and from UTF-8 encoding for any wxWidgets build mode. We can switch to
them at any time. I am using them now for specctra conversions and
elsewhere where I wanted gauranteed UTF8 encoding.
* added OUTPUTFORMATTER::Quoted( const wxString& ) to simplify converting
to UTF8 encoded s-expression atoms. The recommended technique is now simply:
out->Quoted( wxString ).c_str()
* DSNLEXER::NextTok() now uses two separate modes to parse quoted strings.
This gives us the freedom to control our own destiny separate from the
constraints put on us by the Specctra DSN spec.
* Added Documentation/s-expressions.txt to explain all this.
* Enhanced our quoting protocol by moving away from doubling up double quotes
to a C line escape mechanism.
* Now support multi-line strings, which when properly escaped, can still be
read in as a token originating on a single line.
* TokenList2DsnLexer.cmake now supports comments, which start with a leading
# character, and may be either on their own line or on a line after a token.
* DSNLEXER::PopReader() now pops even the last LINE_READER* and returns it.
++pcbnew:
* SPECCTRA_DB now inherits from new class SPECCTRA_LEXER, which led to a great
deal of simplification and code factoring.
* Moved specctra keywords into specctra.keywords.
* TokenList2DsnLexer.cmake now wraps each token enum in its own namespace. It
also no longer setup of the "using" directive in the header file, which was
bad behavior. C++ enum values will have name collisions unless the enums
themselves are different namespaces.
++new:
* Sweet library is now a DSO/DLL.
* Brought in SWIG to do a wrap of the Sweet DSO/DLL for unit testing
and scripting. The SWIG DSO/DLLs are built separate from the Sweet DSO/DLL
and are also optional.
* Added the basic structure to the Sweet parser in sch_part.cpp.
* Got inheritence working off of the 'extends' keyword and PART::inherit()
* Tossed the units support out of sweet.keywords, since we agreed to go dimensionless.
++richio:
* Added the problemInputLine support to PARSE_ERROR, so UI can show the
offending line of bytes. Yes bytes, not even guaranteed to be characters.
