! 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.
New methods in VIEW class: SetTopLayer(), EnableTopLayer() for managing the top layer display.
New method in PCB_RENDER_SETTINGS class: LoadDisplayOptions() for applying display settings like high-contrast, outline display of items, etc.
Pcbnew, layer manager: add option (popup menu) to always keep copper layers not visible but the active layer, even when the active layer is changed.
Usefull for multilayer ( more than 4 layers) PCBs.
Design rules: increase number of vias and tracks sizes
Pcbnew: netlist reader: change from my recent commits to keep netnames in pads for footprints not in netlist
(allow an user to place some footprints by hand, set pads netnames and do not lost these netnames when loading a netlsit)
Fix other very minor issues.
* 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.
* All header files used to create the PCB common library now compile as
stand alone code. This prevents the need to define them in a specific
order to make source code compile properly. It should also now be
possible to relocate the source code to build the common PCB library
to a separate folder.
In Render, colors shown were the default colors, not the selected colors, when starting Pcbnew or Gerbview,
because colors were not updated after reading the config.
* Fix grid select box update bug on context menu.
* Fix via size and track width select box update bugs.
* Fix layer pair indicator button update bug.
* Fix auto track width tool bar control enable bug.
* Fix via size and track width select status bug in context menu.
* Fix layer select box and layer control widget select bug when current
layer is removed.
* Add virtual function to notify objects derived from EDA_DRAW_FRAME that
the units setting has changed.
* Coding policy class naming fixes.
Pcbnew: fix that prevents loading modules from libraries (footprint name not identified in lib)
Module Editor: Try to fix incorrect printing. Fixed now only for scale 1. Nor working for other scales. (Work in progress).
Gerbview: Known bug: printing not working.
VRML export: Fix incorrect export of 3D shapes rotations when the 3D shape was rotated.
