2012-Jan-26, UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jp.charras@wanadoo.fr>
================================================================================
Pcbnew:
    First draft to use a new netlist format (using S expressions)
    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.
    To do:
        New format in Cvpcb: how to use the .cmp file with the new netlist format


2012-Jan-22 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
++all
  * Switch to C++'s true and false and away from C" TRUE and FALSE.
  * 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.


2012-Jan-15 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
++all
    Add "portrait" support to the page size settings for all standard paper
    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.


2012-Jan-9 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
++all
  * Carve out TITLE_BLOCK from BASE_SCREEN
  * Add include/hashtables.h and put class PROPERTIES in there.
    Change PROPERTIES to use "const char*" as the key instead of wxString.
++eeschema
  * Add shim class SCH_BASE_FRAME which introduces the data model SCH_SCREEN
    to the frame EESCHEMA frame class hierarchy and allows sharing of:
    SCH_SCREEN* GetScreen() const;                              // overload EDA_DRAW_FRAME
    void SetPageSettings( const PAGE_INFO& aPageSettings );     // overload EDA_DRAW_FRAME
    const PAGE_INFO& GetPageSettings () const;                  // overload EDA_DRAW_FRAME
    const wxSize GetPageSizeIU() const;                         // overload EDA_DRAW_FRAME
    const wxPoint& GetOriginAxisPosition() const;               // overload EDA_DRAW_FRAME
    void SetOriginAxisPosition( const wxPoint& aPosition );     // overload EDA_DRAW_FRAME
    const TITLE_BLOCK& GetTitleBlock() const;                   // overload EDA_DRAW_FRAME
    void SetTitleBlock( const TITLE_BLOCK& aTitleBlock );       // overload EDA_DRAW_FRAME


2012-Jan-5 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
++all
    Ki_PageDescr was re-written as a proper C++ class and renamed to PAGE_INFO.
    It describes paper.  The m_Offset field was dropped since it was only used
    in HPGL plotting within EESCHEMA.  PAGE_INFO instance was moved out of
    BASE_SCREEN (which is on its way out) into both SCH_SCREEN and BOARD.
