2008-Feb-7 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew
specctra import of *.ses, did tracks and components.
renamed copy_track.cpp to copy_track.cpp.notused
removed copy_track.cpp from pcbnew/CMakeLists.txt
added setlocale() around import and export for float text style.
2008-Feb-6 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew
started specctra imports of *.ses and *.dsn, by adding menus to File | Import.
2008-Feb-4 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew
specctra_export.cpp now supports blind/buried/microvias. Fixed how modules
are displayed on back of board. Added a circle keepout for each copper-less
through hole.
2008-Feb-3 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew
* specctra_export.cpp was not exporting the nets correctly, now fixed.
* Had a problem with an isolated pad modification on a single module instance
in the context of several unmodified instances of same module, now fixed.
* Fixed oval pads to make freerouting.net happy.
See: http://www.freerouting.net/usren/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=317#p408
Done with specctra export for now, will think about adding controls (by dialog)
on the export later.
* Beautification of a few modules.
2008-Jan-31 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
remove the old EDGEZONE class.
A ZONE_CONTAINER class is used instead to handle the creation of a new zone outline
2008-Jan-29 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
SPECCTRA export does most items now, except existing tracks. Soon will
need testing.
2008-Jan-28 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
- Better criteria to find starting poind in zone filling: the filling alg. uses
pads, vias and track ends to find where start the filling.
- Added a tool + option in popup menu in track mode (select track width):
when creating a track, if activated: if we starts on an existing track,
the new track takes the width of the existing track
2008-Jan-27 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+all:
I got a patch from Mr. Wayne Stambaugh which makes it possible to compile
infospgm.cpp once and link the same *.o file multiple times.
Jean-Pierre, if you not yet using CMake, you should edit your make.include
so that infospgm.cpp is only compiled once for everything, not once per
program. Wayne is a competent developer who contacted me about contributing.
I consider him a welcome addition to the developers, Dick.
2008-Jan-25 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
* SPECCTRA export does padstacks ok, except that oval pad's arcs need to be split
into quarter circle arcs, and no consideration is given to "layer types".
See page bottom of page 74 of the SECCTRA Design Language Reference, May 2000.
* HISTORY_NUMBER was spelt with a zero.
* Width was spelt as Widht
2008-Jan-25 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
- void Change_Side_Module( MODULE* Module, wxDC* DC ) is now member of class BOARD.
- Better support for micro vias and buried vias (drill files now are useable for board manufacturers)
But not yet tested by a board manufacturer. Be carefull.
Todo: tools to conversion between via through and buried via and buried viad optimisation.
But must works for micro vias (needed for my next board)
(in pcbnew micro vias are blind vias between 2 adjacent layers: micro vias must be enabled
in Dimensions/track and via menu, and placed by ctrl v.
They are intended to connect small pitch BGA pins to the inner layer, and can be drilled by laser
if the hole diameter is small < 0.2mm. A laser can only drill a hole between 2 adjacent layers ).
** Currently use buried via for tests only, not for production **.
2008-Jan-24 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
* Export a specctra *.dsn file includes some padstacks, not ovals yet.
* Many many refinements to specctra.cpp and specctra.h.
* added COLLECTOR::BasePtr(), which is used in qsort. Could have used
* std::sort() instead.
* Wrote D_PAD::Compare()
* updated todo.txt
2008-Jan-24 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
Bugs about fill zones removed (not all, of course).
Fixed an old bug in block delete (could crashes pcbnew after deleting footprints).
2008-Jan-23 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
* Export a *.dsn file includes ZONE_CONTAINERs, was actually able to load
a board with zones into the freerouter.net package! No components, traces yet,
just zones and layers. Fixed parsers and Format()ers.
* Rewrote SPECCTRA_DB::readTIME() to dodge a missing strptime() on windows.
2008-Jan-23 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
Plot option in GERBER format Plot (Exclude Edge Pcb layer) modification:
- the default is OFF (like odl pcbnew versions)
- this setup is now save in config (is persistant)
In Zone creation, now delete last created corner works.
2008-Jan-22 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
* Actually able now to export a *.dsn file, but the contents of the file
is incomplete, not a complete input BOARD.
* Added DRAWSEGMENT::Show() for debugging.
* Changed specctra.h's POINT to use double for coordinates. Changed format
string for Format()ing a double.
* Changed specctra_export.cpp to actually output an incomplete file.
* Added BOARD::GetCopperLayerCount() and BOARD::GetLayerName().
2008-Jan-21 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
Added specctra_export.cpp, specctra.cpp, specctra.h, dsn.cpp, and dsn.h to
pcbnew's link requirements. Updated CMakeLists.txt to reflect this. This
increased pcbnew's size by 175kb so far. Started the actual export (i.e.
BOARD to DSN::PCB copying logic) which is going into specctra_export.cpp's
void WinEDA_PcbFrame::ExportToSPECCTRA( wxCommandEvent& event ) so that the
huge header file, specctra.h need only be included in one or two *.cpp
files. The specctra export menu support was added to id.h, wxPcbStruct.h,
menubarpcb.cpp, and pcbframe.cpp. After dsn export, I intend to add an
import, and a session file feedback merge. See the revised
how-to-build-kicad.txt for the new boost c++ libraries requirement.
2008-Jan-21 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+eeschema:
labels and texts display changed when rotated 180 degres:
horizontal text are now right justified insteed of 180 degree rotated, and are readable.
+pcbnew:
bug 1874663 solved (edit a pad netname does not work very well)
2008-Jan-20 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
On line DRC when creating a zone outline.
Needs more work to display errors DRC.
2008-Jan-18 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+all:
filtering small mouse moves ( < 5 pixels) when clicking.
Starting a wire or a track is now more easily because these small moves do not start a block commnad.
+pcbnew:
rework of drill filles creation (excellon and reports)
needed to have a clean implantation of buried vias and mainly microvia
which involve a more complex drill files generation
This is better to continue work on zones because :
hight density boards = use of BGA = microvias + good zones handling
When a board has buried or blind vias (microvia are blind vias),
pcbnew creates a drill file per layer pair. for a 4 layer board:
drill file for layer1 to layer 2
drill file for layer2 to layer 3
drill file for layer3 to layer 4
2008-Jan-18 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
how-to-build-kicad.txt: added the Boost C++ Libraries installation info
and requirement.
2008-Jan-16 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
Move Zone outlines added
Zone outline DRC works (needs improvements)
some bugs solved, but polyline.cpp still needs work.
gendrill: code cleaning.
2008-Jan-14 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
code cleaning:
DRAWSEGMENT class functions moved in the new files class_drawsegment.cpp et .h
2008-Jan-12 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+eeschema:
missing footprints in export netlist (bug 1867321)
Affected: PadsPcb converter did not list all footprints
+pcbnew:
fixed: memory not freeed in block copy (minor bug)
Support for micro vias (generation of drill files not finished)
2008-jan-06 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
Block commands now works with zones.
Some code cleanning.
2008-Jan-5 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
* Added pad_shapes.h and blended it into class_pad.h and PolyLine2Kicad.h.
Renamed the pad shapes in there to avoid namespace conflicts.
RECT became PAD_RECT, CIRCLE became PAD_CIRCLE, etc.
* common.cpp's ReturnPcbLayerName( int layer_number, bool omitSpacePadding )
has commented out code that I tested as part of a possible new scheme to support
custom layer names per project.
* More specctra dsn import export work.
2008-jan-05 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
Added: Delete cutout outline in zone popup menu
the GUI about zones is now working.
Some work is needed ( a zone in a zone of the same net is not merged )
Currently No DRC for outlines
2008-jan-04 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
More about zones:
Outlines can be edited. Outlines are merged if needeed.
Currently No DRC for outlines
2008-jan-01 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+all
wxstruct modified and wxPcbStuct.h added:
classes relatives to pcbnew, cvpcb and gerbview are moved in wxPcbStuct.h
2007-Dec-29 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
First draft (and code..) about new zone handling, using polygons to define an outline.
Now currently not useable because the fill function (and many other important functions) is not implemented.
Many functions are not yet implemented: merging zones, cutout, DRC ...
Nevertheless, one can create, modify edit and save zone outlines
2007-Dec-23 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+all
* Because of the discussion 4 months ago about using Boost::Python, and
because of an excellent boost::ptr_vector class, I want to make some of the
boost libraries be necessary for building Kicad. These would be:
1) boost pointer container library (immediately)
http://www.boost.org/libs/ptr_container/doc/ptr_container.html
See the work in specctra.cpp to see where this is going:
typedef boost::ptr_vector<ELEM> ELEM_ARRAY found within class PARENT.
I found that gcc 4.2.1 was complaining about the standard ubuntu libboost-dev
package and would not compile ptr_vector class. But the svn of boost
fixed this.
2) boost::python when building python in.
* Added FIND_PACKAGE(Boost) to CMakeLists.txt
2007-Dec-22 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+all
added strlower() to common.h and string.cpp.
fixed compiler warnings in common/gr_basic.cpp and pcbnew/clean.cpp
+pcbnew
started the DSN file import/export for SPECCTRA routers, adding dsn.cpp and
specctra.cpp, with "stand alone" compile support for it in pcbnew/CMakeLists.txt.
2007-Dec-17 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew
WinEDA_PcbFrame::Other_Layer_Route() was leaving in the bridging segment
when the DRC denied the via insertion.
2007-Dec-17 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
some changes about zones: enhanced dialog, and files reorganisation
2007-Dec-14 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew
WinEDA_PcbFrame::Other_Layer_Route() now returns bool, so that if the DRC
would not allow the new via placement, then it can be checked and the layer
change can also then be aborted. Previously the layer change would happen
in mid track even if the via could not be placed.
2007-Dec-13 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew
* surbrill.cpp's int WinEDA_PcbFrame::Select_High_Light( wxDC* DC )
was re-written to use the GENERAL_COLLECTOR, and the scanList is set to
give pads a higher search priority than tracks, vias or zones.
The objective was to use the pad if possible, rather than a track on a pad,
so the pad can be sent to eeschema. Finding the track only (even though
on a pad) would not send anything to eeschema.
2007-Dec-12 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew
* Fized zone drawing bug in svn HEAD only.
pcbnew/zones.cpp, see:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/kicad-users/message/2993
2007-Dec-11 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+all
* Fixed hotkey table for '+' and '-' bug. The lookup table in
common/hotkeys_basic.cpp had bad entries for + and -. These hotkeys
were not working on Linux.
* Added polygon directory to Doxyfile.
2007-Dec-09 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+cvpcb:
listboxes.cpp FootprintListBox::m_ActiveFootprint member was not initialized.
Can crash cvpcb (WINDOWS only, i believe)
2007-Dec-09 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
changes in file organisation and classes to prepare zone redesign. No real new code.
class zone functions and definitions moved in class_zone.h and .cpp
2007-Dec-07 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew
Very minor bug in drill map : inaccurate via shapes (I believe EXCELLON drill file has no problems)
2007-Dec-06 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+all
Solved zoom key command problems (under linux and windows)
(seen http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1844960&group_id=145591&atid=762476)
+pcbnew
solved bug when loading a footprint in modedit: invisible text attribute was lost (trunk and tag)
2007-Dec-4 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew
added the D() macro to fctsys.h to ease conditional debug printf()s.
worked on http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1844960&group_id=145591&atid=762476
but could not resolve it in 1/2 day.
2007-Dec-4 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew
* drc.cpp and dialog_drc.cpp update.
Added double click support on a MARKER or unconnected DRC_ITEM in the listboxes.
On Linux, it sometimes pops up the menu from PcbGeneralLocateAndDisplay()
for some reason after repositioning the cursor. That is not intended, but
after several attempts to work around it, I realized it is not so bad to
have this happen.
* Added right click popup menus to the list boxes. User must first select
the item he wants to go to, as the right click does not change the selection.
* Added WinEDA_BasePcbFrame::CursorGoto( const wxPoint& ) by factoring it
out of pcbnew/find.cpp
Done now, its ready for folks to start using it and testing it.
2007-Dec-02 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+eeschema:
Solved an annotation problem: in multiple parts per package components,
when sorted by position, parts were not grouped by package.
2007-Dec-2 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew
drc.cpp and dialog_drc.cpp intermediate update.
2007-Nov-30 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew
* added virtual GetPosition() to BOARD_ITEM and derivatives.
* added classes DRC, REPORT_ISSUE, DRC_ITEM and rearranged drc.cpp entirely
to comprize the DRC class. The result has finer granularity of functions
and each is fairly well documented in English, see drc_stuff.h.
Keeping old stuff commented out at bottom of drc.cpp until some more usage
and testing is done.
* Made the DRC dialog modeless, so it can sit off to the side while the MARKER
are inspected one by one.
2007-Nov-29 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
Removed a bug (function block() ) which crashes pcbnew when erasing a zone by block delete
2007-Nov-27 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew
* changed class MARQUEUR to class MARKER name only.
* Moved BOARD's MARKERs from m_Drawings to vector<MARKER*> m_markers so
they can be easily deleted and navigated to from the drc dialog.
* deprecated the MARKER::Unlink() function.
* Added
BOARD::Add( BOARD_ITEM*, int )
BOARD::GetMARKER(int)
BOARD::Delete( BOARD_ITEM* )
BOARD::DeleteMARKERs();
* Changed BOARD::~BOARD() to use DeleteMARKERs().
* Revised screen drawing routine to know about BOARD::m_markers.
* Revised BOARD::Visit() to know about BOARD::m_markers.
* Revised pcbnew/find.cpp to know about BOARD::m_markers.
* removed wxYield() from drc.cpp
2007-Nov-26 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew
DRC code and dialog rework start. This breaks DRC, until I get out the
other end of the tunnel.
2007-Nov-24 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew
* dialog_track_options uses a portable technique for SetFocus(), namely the
function OnInitDialog( wxInitDialogEvent& event ).
* started work on dialog_drc, not checked in. basic wxHtmlListBox is working with dummied text.
+all
makefile.include's now use CXX instead of CC for compiling.
2007-Nov-15 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
Removed a bug (function Delete_Zone() ) which crashes pcbnew when erasing a zone by popup menu
2007-Nov-13 UPDATE Geoff Harland <gharlandau@yahoo.com.au>
================================================================================
+ eeschema & pcbnew
* The "Page Settings" dialog box has been enhanced; it now includes a
wxStdDialogButtonSizer, and is also now designed to be expandable.
+ pcbnew
* The "DRC Control" and "Netlist:" dialog boxes have also been enhanced. Each
of those dialogs now includes a wxStdDialogButtonSizer and a "Cancel" button,
(so each of those dialogs can now (otherwise) be cancelled by pressing the
"Esc" key), and is also now designed to be expandable.
2007-Nov-11 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew
Fixed modedit.cpp bug which occurred when selecting a non pad item (such
as a text field) in the module editor, then selecting Dimensions -> Pad Settings
in the module editor.
2007-Nov-11 UPDATE Geoff Harland <gharlandau@yahoo.com.au>
================================================================================
+ eeschema & pcbnew & gerbview
* The "Colors" dialog box has been enhanced; the distance between adjacent
controls now increases (and in both horizontal and vertical directions)
when that dialog is resized. And the "Cancel" button is no longer centre-
justified; it is now right-justifed instead.
+ eeschema
* A wxStdDialogButtonSizer is now used within the "EESchema Colors" dialog box,
meaning that the sequence of the "OK", "Cancel", and "Apply" buttons within
that dialog now depends upon which (OS) version of KiCad is being used (and
thus matching the nature of the corresponding dialogs within Pcbnew and GerbView
in that regard). (As of yet, the vertical distance between adjacent controls
does not increase when this dialog is resized, but that aspect will also be
implemented when time permits.)
+ gerbview
* The "GerbView Layer Colors:" dialog box has been updated, and is now similar
in nature to the corresponding dialogs within EESchema and Pcbnew. Tool tips
have also been provided for the "Show All" and "Show None" buttons.
2007-Nov-10 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+eeschema:
More comprehensive dialog in netlist plugin interface.
Eeschema configuration now shows the plugin netlist list
2007-Nov-09 UPDATE Geoff Harland <gharlandau@yahoo.com.au>
================================================================================
+ 3d-viewer
* The 3d_canvas.cpp file has been updated to use a const parameter, as suggested
within (Bug) Request ID 1828487.
+ pcbnew
* Sizers have now been provided for the "Pcbnew Layer Colors:" dialog box (previously
identified as the "Colors:" dialog box), and tool tips have been provided for the
"Show All" and "Show None" buttons.
* The reglage.cpp file (which is not currently used) has been removed, and replaced
with reglage.cpp.notused.
2007-Nov-02 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+ all
removed not used files
2007-Nov-07 UPDATE Geoff Harland <gharlandau@yahoo.com.au>
================================================================================
+ all
* The common/svg_print.cpp, common/svg_print.h, and common/svg_print.pjd files (which
are not currently used) have been removed, and replaced with svg_print.cpp.notused,
svg_print.h.notused, and svg_print.pjd.notused. And common/makefile.include has
also been updated so that none of those files are now listed at all.
+ eeschema
* A "Cancel" button has now been provided within each of the "Component properties",
"EESchema Annotation", "EESchema Erc", "Global Label properties", "Label properties",
and "Text properties" dialog boxes, and each of those dialogs can now (otherwise) be
cancelled by pressing the "Esc" key. (In due course, each of those dialogs will be
refined yet further; this is just an incremental enhancement.)
* The eestatus.cpp file (which is not currently used) has been removed, and replaced
with eestatus.cpp.notused.
2007-Nov-05 UPDATE Geoff Harland <gharlandau@yahoo.com.au>
================================================================================
+ eeschema
* The previously provided "Close" button within the "Netlist" dialog box has
now been replaced with a "Cancel" button, and this dialog can now (otherwise)
be cancelled by pressing the "Esc" key. General cleanup and beautification of
eeschema/netlist_control.cpp.
+ pcbnew
* The color of each text string provided within the "Swap Layers:" dialog box is
now set to blue for each string specifying that the associated layer is *not*
being swapped with any other layer, or to fushia for each string specifying that
the associated layer *is* being swapped with another layer. (This change was
made after being suggested by Dick Hollenbeck.)
+ gerbview
* The color of each text string provided within the "Layer selection" dialog box
is similarly now set to blue for each string specifying that the associated
Gerber layer is *not* being exported to any pcbnew layer, or to fushia for each
string specifying that the associated Gerber layer *is* being exported to a
pcbnew layer.
2007-Nov-2 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew
fixed a crashing bug which happened if you "dragged" a module with
tracks. Then deleted one of the pad connected tracks, then deleted the
next track attached to the first one. Memory was being corrupted because
PcbGeneralLocate() and display was not being called on the 2nd track to
be deleted because the m_Flags test:
bool ItemFree = (GetCurItem()==0 || GetCurItem()->m_Flags==0);
was returning false. Solution was to SetCurItem(NULL) after deleting a
TRACK. This makes sense, SetCurItem() is used for designating a "selected"
item, and a deleted TRACK is not even in the BOARD anymore and should not
be selected or selectable. I think this bug may have been causing spurious
crashes for the last couple of months.
2007-Nov-02 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+all:
solved: eeschema, pcbnew and cvpcb did not find libraries when they were
in the default library path, but in a subdirectory
(this is because the default path was not added to the name if the name had
already a path)
2007-Nov-02 UPDATE Geoff Harland <gharlandau@yahoo.com.au>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew
* Sizers have now been provided for the "Swap Layers:" dialog box, and the
previously provided radiobuttons have been replaced with buttons and static
text strings. (In the previous version of this dialog, radiobuttons were being
used in an inappropriate manner. The most "orthodox" way of implementing the
functionality within this dialog would be to provide a combobox for each layer,
but as up to 30 strings would be needed within the dropdown list associated with
each of those controls (one string for each of the layers, and another string to
deselect the layer), such controls would be less than user-friendly. Hence a
button is now provided for each layer instead (and which, like the previously
provided radiobutton, invokes the "Select Layer:" dialog box after being clicked
on). Two static text strings are also provided for each layer, with one of them
being used to identify that layer, and the other being used to identify which
layer that each layer is currently being swapped to.) The previously provided
"Select" and "Deselect" buttons are no longer required, and are thus no longer
provided.
+ gerbview
* The "Layer selection" dialog box (invoked during the "Export to Pcbnew" command)
has similarly been updated. (This dialog did use spacers before, but once again,
the previously provided radiobuttons were being used in an inappropriate manner.)
2007-Nov-01 UPDATE Geoff Harland <gharlandau@yahoo.com.au>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew
* Provided new definitions of FIRST_COPPER_LAYER and LAST_COPPER_LAYER within
include/pcbstruct.h, and used those definitions within various other files.
Beautified and generally refined 3d-viewer/3d_draw.cpp and pcbnew/plotgerb.cpp.
2007-Oct-31 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================

the meaning is for this via the layer pair can be changed for other layer pair
if after editing this via connect 2 tracks which are only int internal layers,
its layer pair can be changed.
If a via has a TROUGH VIA attribute, it connects ALL layers, whenever tracks
connected to it.
Note: curenty: only TROUGH VIA are handled.

Jean-Pierre:
I never thought I would find a greater problem in using Kicad than having to
lay down all the ground and power tracks, rather that just linking vias into
pre-established zones or "tagged layers".
But I have, hundreds of my tracks and vias are showing
unconnected under my BGA, (where say the track or via is NetCode==0) and it
should not be, because the damn track ties the BGA pad to a nearby via.
How can the software be made to think these three items are on the same net,
without re-entering all the damn tracks?
This issue has been coming up for months on the user list, it must be dealt with now.
There is always the same lame answer, "make sure your tracks go to the center of the pads".
Nonsense, the software picked the track end points, not me, and grid was on when it did it.
There are bugs here.
Does Recalcule_all_net_connexion() work, and why is not called from anywhere?

* Invoking the "Select Layer Pair:" dialog box is no longer possible whenever only
one (copper) layer is currently enabled. And it is no longer possible to select
the same layer to be both the Top Layer and Bottom Layer (for any Layer Pair).
* Deselecting layers during the "Swap layers" command is now more user-friendly,
due to the provision of an additional "(Deselect)" radiobutton within the (child)
"Select Layer:" dialog box (which is always invoked whenever a different
radiobutton within the "Swap Layers:" dialog box is clicked on). (It had
previously been necessary to cancel the "Select Layer:" dialog box before being
able to click on the "Deselect" button within the "Swap Layers:" dialog box.)
* Definition for NB_LAYERS changed from (EDGE_N + 1) to (LAST_NO_COPPER_LAYER + 1)
(Although EDGE_N is currently the "last" layer, that wouldn't necessarily still
be true if any additional layers are ever defined in the future.) And comparisons
to 29 (or 28) have been replaced with comparisons to NB_LAYERS (when appropriate).
+ gerbview
* The previously provided "Exit" button within the "GerbView Layer Colors" dialog
box has been replaced with "OK", "Cancel", and "Apply" buttons; and both the
visibility and color of the Grid layer can now be edited from the same dialog.
* Deselecting (Gerber) layers during the "Export to Pcbnew" command is now more
user-friendly, due to the provision of an additional "(Deselect)" radiobutton
within the (child) "Select Layer:" dialog box (which is always invoked whenever
a different radiobutton within the "Layer selection:" dialog box is clicked on).
(It had previously been necessary to cancel the "Select Layer:" dialog box before
being able to click on the "Deselect" button within the "Layer selection:" dialog
box.)
* The "Export to Pcbnew" command now requires at least one Gerber file to have been
already loaded. And Gerber files can now be loaded into any of the 32 (Gerber)

The lack of border resizing in dialogs has been a problem. In my world,

So now for __UNIX__ they are resizeable, for windows not.

a framework for future enhancements.
@todo: grep for @todo and finish off those tasks.
* Introduced a formal notion of "selected item". This is done with the addition
of the WinEDA_BasePcbFrame::SetCurItem() function. So now you have to first
select an item with the left mouse button before you attempt to use the
right button popup menu. Right button no longer has an effect on the
currently selected item. The currently selected item is shown in the MsgPanel.
When none is selected, the m_Pcb is shown.

at the top.
* Added wxString BOARD_ITEM::MenuText() const and BOARD_ITEM::MenuIcon() and
both need more work, work which I will not have time to do.

* Searched and did not see any usage of TRACK::Copy(int), where int was other
than '1', so renamed it to TRACK::CopyList(int) and commented it out because
with int==1, this makes Copy(1) equivalent to the new Copy(void).
* Made TRACK::Copy() capable of copying SEGZONE too.

* Made good progress in onrightclick.cpp for multiple items under the mouse.
* Fixed some macros in macros.h so they can be followed with a semicolon and
used like simple expressions.

Programmable hotkeys update.
some features are still subject to change (mainly path for config files: see 2007-aug-30 UPDATE))
The preference menu has a command to create and reread config hotkey files.
the hotkey ? lists the current hotkeys.
2007-Sep-4 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew
* Made GENERAL_COLLECTORS_GUIDE and GENERAL_COLLECTOR useable. They can now
serve as a fully functional replacement for PcbGeneralLocateAndDisplay(),
see DEBUG code in BOARD_ITEM* WinEDA_BasePcbFrame::PcbGeneralLocateAndDisplay().
* Made GENERAL_COLLECTOR capable of Collect()ing from a MODULE as well as a BOARD.
* pcbnew/onrightclick.cpp changed English from "Free Module" to "Unlock Module".
Next I hope to add some UI to handle multiple items under the mouse in onrightclick.cpp
2007-sept-04 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew
better comments in editrack-part2 (the todo remark solved)
+ todo.txt: note about editrack-part2 modified (problem solved)
2007-Aug-31 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew & gerbview
* Added TRACK::Copy() which can copy a SEGVIA or a TRACK.
* Changed export_to_pcbnew.cpp so it created a SEGVIA properly, a significant change.
Moved and changed a big block of code in export_to_pcbnew.cpp so we can
properly construct the SEGVIA(). Not tested.
* Make EDA_BaseStruct::m_StructType private so we can trap where it is being
changed. (It should never be changed after construction, see comment above
EDA_BaseStruct::SetType().)
2007-Aug-30 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew
* Removed SEGVIA::IsViaOnLayer, and instead implemented an override to
virtual BOARD_ITEM::IsOnLayer() called SEGVIA::IsOnLayer().
* Tweaked TRACK::Visit() to not traverse the KICAD_T scan list and a
corresponding change to BOARD::Vist() so we can now get VIA priority
if desired. (Have to traverse m_Tracks twice, wonder if we could use
two lists: m_Tracks and a new m_Vias?)
* Changed signature of MODULE::Display_Infos( WinEDA_DrawFrame* frame ) so
it gets called virtually with any BOARD_ITEM* which is actually a MODULE*.
This was a bug.
* With virtual functions, it is now critical that the correct object type
be instantiated. This was not happening in ioascii.cpp when reading
the vias. Bug fixed.
* GENERAL_COLLECTOR getting closer to useable.
2007-aug-30 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================

more about programmable hotkeys.
Most existing hotkeys are programmable and displayed in popup menus or tools
Work still in progress but most features are ok.
some features are not fixed (mainly the configuration files path, which is
currently the home directory under unix systems and kicad/template under windows))
2007-Aug-29 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================

Started abstract class COLLECTORS_GUIDE.
Renamed classtrc.cpp to classtrc.cpp.notused

2007-Aug-24 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+ eeschema & pcbnew
* Removed class EDA_BaseLineStruct, which brought no behavioral advantage, only data.
Classes which were based on it got its data members added and their initializers.
* Changed type of EDA_BaseStruct::m_StructType from int to KICAD_T which is an
enum. This makes debugging easier since gdb will show the name of the
KICAD_T rather than simply a number. Added NOT_USED = -1 to KICAD_T enum for
3d which was using -1.
* More beautification using latest uncrustify and the committed uncrustify.cfg
2007-Aug-24 UPDATE Geoff Harland <gharlandau@yahoo.com.au>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew
A new option has now been provided which permits Gerber files to be generated
in which the contents of the Edges Pcb layer are not also included with the
contents of each other layer.
2007-Aug-23 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+ eeschema & pcbnew
* Fixed MODULE::Visit() and BOARD::Vist() so they traverse certain lists
only once and they are working nicely now.
* You can test the GENERALCOLLECTOR::Scan() code by compiling with DEBUG=1 on
the command line and enabling the stuff near line 124 in
pcbnew/controle.cpp, then watch Show( std::cout ) show the selected items in
xml format on your console. (launch pcbnew from command line.)
@todo:
The layer selection mechanism used by the collector is still inadequate, so
tomorrow I will add a new class COLLECTORS_GUIDE which can be used by a
COLLECTOR to control its operation. It adds the concept of layer
locking, even though PCBNEW does not support that in the UI yet.
2007-Aug-22 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+ eeschema & pcbnew
Things are still pretty transient, should be stable a day or two:
* Fixed a filename case sensitivity problem that would show up on Linux
but probably not on Windows: bitmap/Reload.xpm needed uppercase R.
* Wedged a new class BOARD_ITEM underneath all PCB drawable classes. This is
a big change and may introduce a bug or two, but it is worth it for the
future, because we can add virtual functions there that do not impact
the entire project (since everything is derived from EDA_BaseStruct).
The corresponding class in EESCHEMA seems to be DrawPartStruct, so we had
nothing in PCBNEW like that.
BOARD_ITEM::GetLayer() and SetLayer() introduced, more functions to come.
Much of this work is geared towards making collectors.cpp's ARROWCOLLECTOR::Inspect()
very very simple, and that can be a model for future work.
* Changed min() and max() macros to MIN() and MAX() because min() and max()
are actually reserved according to the C++ standard! (and their usage prevented
the use of #include <vector>).
* Added files class_collector.h, collectors.h, and collectors.cpp.
File collectors.cpp is still unfinished.
* Started using a function and class comment style that will make sense to the
Doxygen source code documenter program.
* Beautified more un-beautified files.

Added copyright.h as a proposed copyright header for Mr. Charras's review.
Added uncrustify.cfg, the configuration file for the "uncrustify" C++ beautifier.
2007-Aug-20 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew & eeschema
* Moved allowed m_Flags values from pcbnew.h, general.h, and eeschema/delete.cpp to base_struct.h
near m_Flags itself. Several of the flags values were changed. I am only
comfortable with this change if m_Flags is not written to disk anywhere,
and we need to give that some thought. If m_Flags is a memory only usage
and not saved to disk, then this change should be safe. I could not find
any case where m_Flags was being saved to disk, but I could have missed one.
The reason for the change was to consolidate into one place the allowed values
so that as new flags are allocated there is no conflict.
* Moved most all the pcbnew/affiche.cpp functions to virtual member functions of their
respective classes with the name Display_Infos().
* Moved GetEquipot() global function to BOARD::FindNet().
These changes are working towards a concise locate.cpp module, on the way
to implementing the multiple choice support. Mass edits should be slowing down
in a day or so.

filename drc_dialog.prj changed to dialog_drc.prj

2007-Aug-19 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+ all
* Made BASE_SCREEN::m_CurrentItem private so we can force usage of the new
SetCurItem() function, and use it to put a breakpoint on the only place
that m_CurrentItem is changed, namely in the new SetCurItem() function.
( Added new function GetCurItem() as well to class BASE_SCREEN in
drawpanel_wxstruct.h.) Using a stack trace at the breakpoint we can tell
who called it. There were in excess of 450 edits to get this done so I
had to commit it asap so other folks could get on with edits without a
merge conflict.
* Started work on the COLLECTOR class which will assist in giving a choice
in PCBNEW when there is more than one click candidate at the same mouse
or cursor coordinates. COLLECTOR not committed yet.
* More beautification.
* The mouse click and part synchronization from EESCHEMA to PCBNEW would
track fine but would not always position the PCBNEW part on screen. Now
we center it unconditionally. No change was made in the reverse direction
since that code uses the long established Find support.
2007-Aug-14 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+ eeschema & pcbnew
* Added mouse click, TCP/IP socket based, part synchronization in the reverse
of how it was working, so a mouse click on a module in PCBNEW will take
EESCHEMA to the part with the same reference.
* More beautification, working with developer of uncrustify. Almost ready
to add the customized uncrustifiy configuration file to this project.
* Fixed a bug in pcbnew/tracepcb.cpp's WinEDA_PcbFrame::Trace_Pcb( wxDC* DC, int mode )
which was using a bool for the MaskLay variable, causing through hole pads
on modules on copper layer not to be shown when the copper components were
set to invisible.

* Renamed locate.cpp's distance() to DistanceTest() and moved it to trigo.cpp.
Pass more parameters to DistanceTest and removed globals that were used by
distance() in locate.cpp.
Moved and renamed DistanceTest function proto from protos.h to trigo.h.
* Implemented HitTest() for class_cotation, class_mire, and a few other classes
by factoring out existing code from locate.cpp. locate.cpp should operate
exactly the same as before.
* Improved or implemented the Show() function for several classes.
* Detected that the suspected class_module hit-testing bug was not real,
i.e. no bug found.

2007-Aug-07 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew & common
* More searching work. Made HitTest() virtual. Factored out a HitTest()
function for both class_module and class_pad from existing code.
* Embellished the Show() function for several of the classes. Could be the
basis of a possible future XML export, but with the native format being
ascii already, this is of questionable value as an export.
* Discovered a long time existing bug in class_module hit-testing.
Still need to understand it. It could just be an improperly formatted module.
2007-Aug-06 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>

+ pcbnew & common
* Added some conditional DEBUG code for showing the pcb object tree in
simple XML format. See class EDA_BaseStruct's new Show() function.
* Changed the function name of Locate( const wxPoint& ref_pos ) to bool HitTest(..)
in both class_text_mod and base_struct.

Read-ability formatting, I am playing with a C++ beautifier called "uncrustify".
I had to patch it and spent 2 days getting it configured. Patch not
sent upstream yet.
Fixed a bug in "display local ratsnest pad or module": if you had a small
module and the mouse clicked its reference text, the ratnest for
the associated module would not show. The work around was to add
support to Show_1_Ratsnest() so it could take a TYPETEXTEMODULE as
the result of the hit-testing. But I think a longer term better
solution will be to create a specific search function for this kind
of hit-testing, one which could disregard text and look only for
pads and modules.
