! The initial testing of this commit should be done using a Debug build so that
all the wxASSERT()s are enabled. Also, be sure and keep enabled the
USE_KIWAY_DLLs option. The tree won't likely build without it. Turning it
off is senseless anyways. If you want stable code, go back to a prior version,
the one tagged with "stable".
* Relocate all functionality out of the wxApp derivative into more finely
targeted purposes:
a) DLL/DSO specific
b) PROJECT specific
c) EXE or process specific
d) configuration file specific data
e) configuration file manipulations functions.
All of this functionality was blended into an extremely large wxApp derivative
and that was incompatible with the desire to support multiple concurrently
loaded DLL/DSO's ("KIFACE")s and multiple concurrently open projects.
An amazing amount of organization come from simply sorting each bit of
functionality into the proper box.
* Switch to wxConfigBase from wxConfig everywhere except instantiation.
* Add classes KIWAY, KIFACE, KIFACE_I, SEARCH_STACK, PGM_BASE, PGM_KICAD,
PGM_SINGLE_TOP,
* Remove "Return" prefix on many function names.
* Remove obvious comments from CMakeLists.txt files, and from else() and endif()s.
* Fix building boost for use in a DSO on linux.
* Remove some of the assumptions in the CMakeLists.txt files that windows had
to be the host platform when building windows binaries.
* Reduce the number of wxStrings being constructed at program load time via
static construction.
* Pass wxConfigBase* to all SaveSettings() and LoadSettings() functions so that
these functions are useful even when the wxConfigBase comes from another
source, as is the case in the KICAD_MANAGER_FRAME.
* Move the setting of the KIPRJMOD environment variable into class PROJECT,
so that it can be moved into a project variable soon, and out of FP_LIB_TABLE.
* Add the KIWAY_PLAYER which is associated with a particular PROJECT, and all
its child wxFrames and wxDialogs now have a Kiway() member function which
returns a KIWAY& that that window tree branch is in support of. This is like
wxWindows DNA in that child windows get this member with proper value at time
of construction.
* Anticipate some of the needs for milestones B) and C) and make code
adjustments now in an effort to reduce work in those milestones.
* No testing has been done for python scripting, since milestone C) has that
being largely reworked and re-thought-out.
clean duplicate code.
Simplify HPGL dialog: plot offet removed and replace by only one option (plot origin to center of sheet or not)
This is surely enought.
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)
Should allow Pcbnew code easier to change and Gerbview code more understandable and easier to maintain.
Code cleaning (remove dead code, add comments).
Minor other enhancements.
* 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.
* Enable replace toolbar button and menu entry.
* Improve find replace logging granularity.
* Fix find and replace dialog control hiding and disabling.
* Minor improvements to the SCH_FIND_REPLACE_DATA object.
* Move find collector list iterator into the collector object.
* Add visibility override flag to EDA_ITEM to temporarily show items that
are hidden during find and replace.
* Replace Eeschema find code with a collector based implementation.
* Fixed a search bug when all subsequent searches of an item would ignore
the remaining valid child items when an item had more than one child
item that matched the search criteria.
* Add SCH_FIND_COLLECTOR class to find all items that meet the specified
search criteria.
* Add SCH_FIND_COLLECT0R_DATA to keep track of information for all matching
items.
* Use collector to iterate over the list of items that match the search
criteria rather than trying to start at the last matched item.
* Remove unused searching methods from sheet path and sheet path list
objects.
* Add replace and replace all functionality to Eeschema find dialog.
* Push matching methods down to EDA_ITEM class so they can be used by
other derived objects.
* Add method to EDA_ITEM to test if item supports replacing.
* Add flag to find/replace data to support replace feature.
* Disable wild card matching check box when dialog is in replace mode as
wild card replacement is not supported at this time.
* The usual Doxygen comment and coding policy fixes.
* Fixed bug on Windows that prevented the menu short cuts from working
properly.
* Fix duplicate menu short cut keys in KiCad, Pcbnew, and Eeschema.
* Add menu short cuts for all possible menu entries.
* Correct all user strings and comments for the correct capitalization of
application names according to JP. They are KiCad, Pcbnew, CvPcb,
Eeschema, and GerbView.
* Add a note the the user interface policy about the correct capitalization.
* Rename all ADD_MENUITEM_* functions to AddMenuItem and move them to
wxstruct.h since they are used by the Kicad main frame classes.
* Move SET_BITMAP and SETBITMAPS definitions to wxstruct.h.
* Fix a bug in SET_BITMAPS that prevented enabling menu item images on
OSX.
* Rename MsgItem to EDA_MSG_ITEM.
* Remove redundant includes from modified files.
* Doxygen and coding style policy fixes.
* Add in help menu a direct link to the new doc Getting_Started_in_KiCad.pdf, written by contributors (useful for beginners)
* Fix other very minor issues in CvPcb.
* Update howto doc about translation
Also fix a minor zoom page issue in Libedit.
wxMSW, version 2.8.x must be patched.
Some zoom values smaller than 3 to 5 create artifacts on screen, mainly values < 1.
(corresponding to draw scale factor > 1 )
* see http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/9554
This is fixed in version 2.9.x
Workaround: ( that is not a full fix, but remaining artifacts are acceptable )
edit file edit file <wxWidgets>/src/msw/dc.cpp
>> search for line
static const int VIEWPORT_EXTENT = 1000;
>> and replace by
static const int VIEWPORT_EXTENT = 10000;
* Change all code references to pin sheet and sheet label to sheet pin to
more closely match the sheet pin object for improved code readability.
* Change menu and tool bar text from pin sheet to sheet pin for improved
user readability.
* Moved sheet pin place method to sheet pin object source file.
* Move last sheet pin stored state information into schematic frame object.
* Add Doxygen comments for the sheet pin editing methods.
