Pcbnew:, libedit, Save lib as...: the new .pretty lib format is the default, instead of legacy .mod format. The legacy format is still selectable in the file selection dialog.
* Make GPCB_PLUGIN::EnumerateFootprints() read the directory contents
instead of loading the entire cache.
* Make KICAD_PLUGIN::EnumerateFootprints() read the directory contents
instead of loading the entire cache.
* Prevent cache from being reloaded on every footprint file read.
* Fix a bug forming wxFileName in GPCB_FP_CACHE::Load().
* Fix invalid file name time stamp debug assertion.
* Use FPID to set loaded footprint name.
* Remove file name <> from exception strings per UIPolicy.
To use multiple working threads. This entailed adding KiCad typedefs:
*) Add typedefs for MUTEX and MUTLOCK which mask the actual choices for the project.
*) Add FOOTPRINT_LIST::DisplayErrors( wxWindow* ) which is a single strategy for
showing aggregated load errors. Although what's there is only scaffolding
and needs a volunteer who knows HTML pretty well.
*) Ensure all callers of ReadFootprintFiles() use the new DisplayErrors() function.
*) Push utf8.cpp and utf8.h into common library for open use.
* Make the tool bar dockable.
* Enable the overflow control in the tool bar in case the it does not fit in
it's parent window.
* Fix some wxAuiPaneInfo usage issues.
* Remove unused wxAuiPaneInfo objects.
* Move perspective saving and loading into EDA_BASE_FRAME object in preparation
for extending this to all frame windows.
* Replace illegal file system characters when reading legacy libraries to
prevent FPID parsing errors and allow saving to PRETTY file format.
* Create validator to filter illegal file system characters from footprint
name text edit controls to prevent issues when saving to PRETTY file format.
* Add missing source file licenses and some minor coding policy fixes.
Now footprints, after loaded by reading a netlist are grouped by sheets by the footprints spread function, and the grouping is better.
Rename 2 files. Fix minor issues. Clean code
comment for GITHUB_PLUGIN which should flow into Doxygen output.
*) Rewrote:
PCB_BASE_FRAME::Save_Module_In_Library(): now uses fp-lib-table and PROPERTIES.
PCB_EDIT_FRAME::ArchiveModulesOnBoard(): now can archive to any writable library type.
PCB_BASE_FRAME::SelectLibrary(): is now generic for selecting a library, not just the active library.
Pcbnew: Code cleaning and bug fix in autoplace functions
Dialog exchange footprints has now a separate button to update the .cmp file, only on request.
