2008-Dec-05 UPDATE Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@verizon.net>
================================================================================
++all
* Simplified and improved grid implementation. User grid will no longer
be displayed if it is the same as any of the default grid sizes.
* Removed unused grid code in BASE_SCREEN class.
* Source file share/drawpanel.cpp now compiled into common library.
* Declare WinEDA_Appl so you can use wxGetApp() instead of passing app
pointers all over the place.
* Fixed assertion in debug build of 3D viewer.
* Some general code beautification and redundant header file removal in files
changed by the grid implementation.
2008-Dec-3 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
++pcbnew & gerbview
* added g_CurrentTrackList, and made g_CurrentTrackSegment and g_FirstTrackSegment
be #defines into this DLIST<TRACK>, see pcbnew.h.
* Changed to DLIST<> for almost all the list heads in BOARD.
Switched datatype of BOARD::m_Track, BOARD::m_Zone, etc to DLIST<>.
This simplifies BOARD::~BOARD() somewhat, and adds automatic counting of list elements and encapsulation
of all list operations into DHEAD member functions, see common/dlist.cpp.
* Removed TRACK::Insert() since it no long fits with the new BOARD::m_Track and BOARD::m_Zone datatypes.
* Removed the g_UnDeleteStack support from <any>::UnLink(), this may leave a deficiency, but this code needs
to be external to UnLink() anyway.
* Made TRACK::SetNext() and TRACK::SetBack() private so they may not be used,
the only way to put a TRACK on a list is through DLIST<TRACK>::PushFront()
and other member functions of DLIST<TRACK>.
* Switched to std::vector<TRACK*> in track.cpp to hold the temporary static list.
* Renamed some KICAD_Ts to more closely match the corresponding classname.
++gerbview
* Switched to GR_COPY mode for drawing so we can see the erasures. debugged
erasures in rs274d.cpp.
* Now using order specific TRACK loading, so erasures come after objects they
are intended to erase. Still need layer ordering and polygon ordering support, my todo.
I do not like DeleteStructList() and plan to migrate away from it, DLIST<>:DeletAll()
does something like it.
=======
2008-Dec-03 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
++pcbnew
Switch to polygons in zones (old way no more supported)
areas can be now filled using solid polygons, or using segments to fill areas inside polygons.
results are same, but using segments can be better (faster redraw time) for polygons having a lot
of segments (more than 10000)
2008-Dec-02 UPDATE Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@verizon.net>
================================================================================
++build fixes
* Changed wxWidgets library find order so monolithic build is no longer
required (at least on MinGW).
* Changed CreateSVNVersionHeader.cmake to fall back to "build_version.h"
when 'svn info' command fails. The default macro that ships with CMake
will not create build files when 'svn info' fails.
2008-Nov-25 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+eeschema
edit component in schematic editor. works pretty well, I'm done.
2008-Nov-24 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+eeschema
edit component in schematic editor. It is not complete but further.
Keep your old eeschema binary, this one does not fully work yet, another day or so.
Switched away from wxGrid to wxListCtrl, and that class is poorly documented
so much time pioneering how to use it. Should go faster now.
2008-Nov-23 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+all
+ Made _protected_ EDA_BaseStruct's:
EDA_BaseStruct* Pnext; /* Linked list: Link (next struct) */
EDA_BaseStruct* Pback; /* Linked list: Link (previous struct) */
EDA_BaseStruct* m_Parent; /* Linked list: Link (parent struct) */
EDA_BaseStruct* m_Son; /* Linked list: Link (son struct) */
+ Split TRACK::Draw() out for SEGVIA
+ Added dlist.h & dlist.cpp for DLIST<> template. All the _inline_ list manipulation
code throughout the package is rediculous. I don't mind list traversal, only
list manipulation. DLIST<> templates can be used to consolidate reliable
list manipulation operations and get this code out of the mainline.
These functions are shared/inherited for any derivation, so only one copy exists
in the final program image. To use, simply declare e.g. DLIST<D_PAD> or similar.
See dlist.h, template class DLIST for function comments.
+ added EDA_BaseStruct::m_List to assist in debugging list manipulation functions.
+eeschema
Started on the edit component in schematic editor. It is not complete and
breaks the usefulness of the editor at this moment. Do not build this version
if you want to fully use eeschema.
2008-Nov-22 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
++pcbnew
Some cleanup in dialog pad edition.
Added:
Zones now have a min thickness filled area parameter
that ensure a minimun width for filled copper areas
(areas below this min thickness are removed)
Shapes also are better
2008-Nov-19 UPDATE Jerry Jacobs <jerkejacobs@gmail.com>
================================================================================
++kicad-library
Moved {number}DIP packages to DIP-{number}__{WIDTH} seperated library dip_sockets.mod
Created DIP Packages board
++kicad.pro template
Added dip_sockets library to pcbnew libraries in template file
2008-Nov-18 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
++pcbnew
First version of pcbnew using polygonal filled areas in zones in rats nets calculations.
Needs more tests.
2008-Nov-14 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
kbool:
Using the last version (1.9) of kbool, downloaded from the wxArt2D project site
(see www.wxart2d.org)
But the version 1.8 bug still is here.
So using the workaround remains mandatory.
(this is not a problem because thermal shapes are better...)
2008-Nov-14 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+gerbiew
+ Added support for displaying most aperture macros embedded in a RS274X compatible file.
Cleanup of rs274d.cpp and added the beginning of the isDark support, which we
need to discuss. GERBER::m_ImageNegative can toggle during the course of reading
a rs274x file and sometimes this means erasing things.
+ Tested pcbnew's gerber plotting, still working. Done
with aperture macros for now, but we need to handle the isDark support to
top it off after discussion.
2008-Nov-8 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
++pcbnew
Thermal shapes modification for round and oblong pads.
This is a workaround for a bug (i believe) of kbool.
New thermal shapes have NO angle < 90 degrees between 2 adjacent segments.
For shapes that have angle < 90 degrees between 2 adjacent segments,
under certains circumstances kbool drops some holes and creates a bad filled area.
(see zones_convert_brd_items_to_polygons.cpp)
2008-Nov-8 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+gerview
Added support for reading in aperture macros embedded in a RS274X compatible file.
Cannot display them yet.
General cleanup of gerbview. GERBER_Descr replaced with class GERBER.
ReturnToolDescr() replaced with GERBER::GetDCODE().
D_CODEs are created lazily now. pcbnew's gerber plotting needs testing, might
have broke something there, accidentally.
2008-nov-5 UPDATE Andrey Fedorushkov <andrf@mail.ru>
================================================================================
+all:
Add cyrillic font support.
Add russian GOST worksheet support.
2008-nov-2 CLEANUP Jerry Jacobs <jerkejacobs@gmail.com>
================================================================================
++kicad:
Cleanup comment/codestyle to make things more clear for newbie codeviewer
and developers.
+ buildmnu.cpp
+ commandframe.cpp
+ kicad.cpp
+ treeprj_frame.cpp
2008-oct-30 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
++All
Use double instead float when possible, ande code cleaning.
Some changes for a better code compatibility with others compliers (MSVC)
(__MSVC__ must be defined when using MSVC)
(double round(double) and typeof unkown in MSVC)
Note: I cannot test kicad under MSVC.
2008-Oct-19 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+eeschema
Fixed SCH_COMPONENT() copy constructor with Jean-Pierre's bug catch.
Developed a non-functional fbp file using wxFormBuilder for the new
dialog_edit_component_in_schematic dialog which I plan on coding in the
next couple of weeks as time permits.
2008-oct-17 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
Solved a bug when creating a new zone outline that could crash pcbnew
More about copper zones filled without grid (by polygons)
Currently for tests only (work in progress).
now working: Thermal reliefs parameters can be set.
2008-oct-11 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:

2008-Oct-6 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+eeschema
First work on arbitrary number of user fields, i.e. name/value pairs,
per schematic component. Use std::vector to hold fields, added GetField()
function to SCH_COMPONENT.
2008-oct-02 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
First tests about copper zones filled without grid (by polygons)
Currently for eyes and tests only.
To select this feature choose No Grid in zone grid filling.
Work in progress:
currently : not implemented:
thermal reliefs (pads are always covered by copper zones).
texts on copper zones.
Removing insulated copper islands.
2008-Oct-1 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew
gen_modules_placefile.cpp: backed out of the "Cu & Cmp" centric terminology
and moved towards using layer names which are BOARD specific.
2008-Sep-26 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
more about use polygons in zone fill algos on technicals layers:
plot Ok. holes are handled
2008-Sep-26 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
Starting work to use polygons in zone fill algos.
Currently, use this to add zone on non copper layers (technical layers)
Only for eyes.
Plot outputs do not handle this.
Problems with holes in zones.
Also: first used of wxFormBuilder
2008-Sep-17 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
Fixed a bug in modedit which crashes pcbnew when closing the properties module dialog
Both in trunk and tagged versions
2008-Sep-17 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+eeschema:
code cleaning
PartTextStruct class name changed to a name : SCH_CMP_FIELD
2008-Sep-14 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
Fixed a problem in zone filling algo: due tu differents ways to truncate coordinates
between 2 functions (one round coordinates, and others truncate coordinates),
some start points used to fill zones can be inside the zone outlines,
but placed outside when init matrix parameters when rounding them instead of truncate.
So zone was filled inside and outside when happens.
2008-Sep-9 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+eeschema
Fixed a bug plotting pins with circles in them from eeschema.
Added type FILL_T.
2008-Aug-26 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+all:
subtle bug solved: no response to the first left click command after opening a dialog box
(after an item edition, for instance)
2008-Aug-22 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+eeschema:
bug solved: netlist calculations could crash eeschema under very rare circumstances.
recent bug solved: background filled shapes (filled but not solid: texts are readables inside shapes)
were drawn (and plotted) as filled (solid) shapes
2008-Aug-18 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
bug solved: Horizontal Oblong pads holes have a bad T Code size in the drill file.
2008-Aug-15 UPDATE Jerry Jacobs <jerkejacobs@gmail.com>
================================================================================
+About dialog
modified: (common.cpp) GetAboutBuildVersion() is a custom build version for the about dialog
(config.h.cmake)
(CreateSVNVersionHeader.cmake) KICAD_ABOUT_VERSION macro added
added: (about_dialog.cpp) InitKiCadAbout() initalise the about dialog
removed: (common/infospgm.cpp) is no longer needed
2008-Aug-11 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+eeschema:
libedit:
solved : a bug which can crash eeschema on a double click.
modified : pin lenght edit in pin edit dialog. The value (handle by spin control) was not editable with recent wxWidgets versions
2008-Aug-09 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
bug solved: pads holes not printed.
enforced controls against malformed libraries
2008-Aug-06 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
Removed an obsolete option in the plot menu, in gerber format.
Cleanup code.
Solved a minor bug: rastnest was not displayed after a move module
and if the command was aborted
2008-Juil-31 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+eeschema:
Added component sheet X,Y location in BOM.
Netlist generation: now spaces in names are replaced by '_' for pcbnew (which does not accept spaces)
Bug: print all pages did not work.
Please note in complex hierarchy, the current "Print All" function needs to be enhanced,
because it does not draw all sheets but only all different sheets
2008-Jule-08 UPDATE Andrey Fedorushkov <andrf@mail.ru>
================================================================================
+pcbnew:
Added displayed length highlighted net to pcbnew/affiche.cpp
2008-June-22 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+all:
Default path kicad/share added when searching kicad data (like library, internat ...)
Kicad data Default paths are now (windows version and linux server install)
1 - kicad/share
2 - kicad
2008-June-15 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+eeschema:
Bug solved: Eeschema crashed when creating a new subsheet with the same
filename as an existing filename, if loading this existing file.
2008-June-11 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+all:
Online doc format changed to PDF format.
This is **very** easier to handle, because :
- Openoffice has a very good pdf export function.
- Only one file for application
- Is standart (The old html format used a zipped archive, not standart)
- the doc tree is less complex (see doc/help/fr or doc/help/en for the new tree).
If a localized doc file is not found, the english version is automatically loaded instead.
No need to copy the same pdf file in subdirectory.
2008-June-06 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+all:
minor changes
added void SetLocaleTo_C_standard(void) and void SetLocaleTo_Default(void)
This is wrapper to the C setlocale( LC_NUMERIC, "C" )
and setlocale( LC_NUMERIC, "" )function,
but could make more easier an optional use of locale in kicad in floating point notations
2008-May-30 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew
removed GPC library due to its unacceptable (and stupid) license
using the powerfull kbool library insteed (see polygon/kbool)
+all:
minor changes
2008-May-22 UPDATE Martin Kajdas <kajdas@cox.com>
================================================================================
+all
Moved all XPM files to <kicad>/bitmaps directory and fixed all related files
+PCBnew
Changed File/Export shortcut from 'x' to 'e'
2008-May-21 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+eeschema:
Solved: problem in manual part selection for multiple parts per package components
2008-May-17 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+all
Removed bitmaps.cpp. Made a static library target named "bitmaps" which
gets linked into any app needing bitmaps. Changed bitmaps.h to simply
include an alphabetized listing of the bitmap arrays.
We can now continue to migrate all remaining bitmaps into:
> the <base>/bitmaps directory
> the <base>/bitmaps/CMakeLists.txt file there
> the include/bitmaps.h file.
2008-May-16 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+eeschema:
Solved: bad update of toolbars (eeschema and libedit):
undo/redo buttons were not always updated after a change.
+kicad
the project tree now (as earlier) reads subdirs list files when starting
kicad. This feature can be disabled (see treeprj_frame.cpp)
2008-May-15 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+eeschema:
Solved netlist problems for multiple parts per package components
in complex hierarchies.
2008-May-5 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+common.c
wrote wxString& operator << ( wxString&, const wxPoint& ) by moving code
from DRC_ITEM::ShowCoord()
+pcbnew
* embellished DRAWSEGMENT::MenuText() and DRAWSEGMENT::Display_Infos()
* wrote wxString BOARD_ITEM::ShowShape( Track_Shapes aShape )
* wrote wxPoint DRAWSEGMENT::GetEnd() which calculates the end point of an arc
* wrote DRAWSEGMENT::GetLength()
* Added S_ARC support to the specctra_export.cpp for EDGES_PCB with DRAWSEGMENTS
of arcs. Arc and lines can be intermixed, its just that they must be
contiguous. The user can now use the improved DRAWSEGMENT::Display_Infos() to
find any bad or non-contiguous DRAWSEGMENTS, since that function now shows
the two endpoints of any segment.
2008-May-2 UPDATE Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@verizon.net>
================================================================================
+cmake
* Use Subversion to automatically generate build date and revision level
when building with CMake. Header file build_version.h will still need
manual updates when using the hand written make files.
2008-May-4 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew
* Added DRAWSEGMENT::GetStart(), GetEnd() and support S_ARC and S_SEGMENT
with it for now.
* Added arc support to pcb perimeter of the specctra export.
2008-May-2 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew
* Added ZONE_CONTAINER::GetBoundingBox() and used it to clean up
ZONE_CONTAINER deletion.
* For end of edge dragging activity: used full DrawPanel->Refresh()
to clean up all XOR artifacts.
2008-May-1 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew
* Fixed bugs in layer name handling within the BOARD
2008-Apr-30 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+eeschema:
made in some dialogs the ESC key working (linux version, already working under windows)
screen number and screen count now are set
2008-Apr-29 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew
* Added WinEDA_PcbFrame::UpdateToolbarLayerInfo() by factoring it out of
ReCreateLayerBox().
* Changed call in void WinEDA_PcbFrame::SetToolbars() from ReCreateLayerBox()
to UpdateToolbarLayerInfo().
* Removed calls to SetToolbars() from:
> share/drawpanel.cpp's void WinEDA_DrawPanel::OnMouseEvent( wxMouseEvent& event )
> void WinEDA_BasePcbFrame::GeneralControle( wxDC* DC, wxPoint Mouse )
2008-Apr-28 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+pcbnew
* Layer names were not being set into the htoolbar listbox properly if the
BOARD was loaded via the command line as happens when kicad chain loads
pcbnew. Also, layer names were not being set if a second board was loaded
that had the same number of layers as the previous board. The solution was
to comment out the listbox rebuild test in WinEDAChoiceBox*
WinEDA_PcbFrame::ReCreateLayerBox( WinEDA_Toolbar* parent )
* files.cpp: added Clear_Pcb( false ) to LoadOnePcbFile() and call it if
not appending. This way a user can get into the file selection dialog and
still abort (change his mind) without losing the current board. Removed calls to
Clear_Pcb() where LoadOnePcbFile() would now do that.
* edtxtmod.cpp: fixed the drawing relics when moving and rotating module texts.
2008-Apr-21 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+pcbnew
PS output: now shows oblong holes with the true shape.
2008-Apr-22 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+eeschema
* Spent a 1/2 day tracking down two linked list bugs in deleting a
DRAW_HIERARCHICAL_PIN_SHEET_STRUCT_TYPE. I cannot believe in the year
2008 we should have to debug a linked list function. This is stuff I expected
to do 20 years ago, not today. The function
void WinEDA_SchematicFrame::DeleteSheetLabel( wxDC* DC,
Hierarchical_PIN_Sheet_Struct* SheetLabelToDel ) never worked as
far as I can tell.
Should switch to boost::ptr_vector ASAP everywhere, and leave linked lists in the 1980's.
* Hierarchical_PIN_Sheet_Struct::Hierarchical_PIN_Sheet_Struct() was not
setting the m_Parent.
2008-Apr-21 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+eeschema
* Added WinEDA_LibeditFrame::GeneralControle( wxDC* DC, wxPoint Mouse );
* Added WinEDA_ViewlibFrame::GeneralControle( wxDC* DC, wxPoint Mouse );
Needed: Move redundant code to WinEDA_DrawFrame::GeneralControle
** Current sheet only Annotation and clear annotation now works for complex hierarchies
2008-Apr-17 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+all
* Made a little more sense out of the GetScreen() problem by making it
non-virtual, and having the two types of frame classes (eeschema's and pcbnew's)
each return their respective types of screens {SCH,PCB}_SCREEN*.
* Added GetBaseScreen() as the virtual function which always returns BASE_SCREEN*.
* Made WinEDA_DrawFrame::GeneralControle( wxDC* DC, wxPoint Mouse ){ dummy }
* Added WinEDA_SchematicFrame::GeneralControle( wxDC* DC, wxPoint Mouse );
* Moved to void <class>::Place( WinEDA_SchematicFrame* frame, wxDC* DC ) from
void <class>::Place( WinEDA_DrawFrame* frame, wxDC* DC ) so that these
functions can use the new SCH_SCREEN* WinEDA_SchematicFrame::GetScreen()
function (the non-virtual one that returns SCH_SCREEN* not BASE_SCREEN*).
* Made some menus conformant to UIpolicies.txt regarding uppercase.
* Beautified 5-10 files.
2008-Apr-17 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+eeschema
very small bug in display component info removed
+pcbnew
+cvpcb
removed bug: forgotten paths when adding lib files when not in the default lib path
(same problem as in eeschema, solved in 2008-Apr-09 Update)
2008-Apr-16 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+eeschema
In complex hierarchies, multiples parts per packages now should work,
without restrictions
Update and use annotate_dialog.pjd to create annotate dialog
2008-Apr-15 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+eeschema
More code cleaning and Files cleaning and reorganization.
change DrawSheetLabelStruct class name to a better name: Hierarchical_PIN_Sheet_Struct
For simple Hierarchies, files are now compatables with old eescheam versions
In complex hierarchies, multiples parts per packages have still problems,
but i hope to solve that soon
(in fact all the last changes were made for that)
2008-Apr-14 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+eeschema
code cleaning. SCH_ITEM class used for all schematic items in eeschema.
Files reorganization.
2008-Apr-09 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+eeschema
code cleaning.
2008-Apr-09 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+eeschema
removed bug: forgotten paths when adding lib files when not in the default lib path
Also: adding SCH_COMPONENT.m_PartPerPackageSelections to handle multiple parts per package selection
in a complex hierarchy, but yet, no other code to do that.
2008-Mar-30 UPDATE Jonas Diemer <diemer-at-gmx.de>
================================================================================
+eeschema
+pcbnew
Display a warning on a file format version mismatch.
2008-Mar-31 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+all
Tweaked class MsgPanel so that the screen drawing only happens from
its OnPaint() function.
+pcbnew
Added virtual BOARD_ITEM::Draw() and forced all BOARD_ITEM derived classes
to implement it so that all these functions are also virtual.
Made the offset argument default to the new wxPoint BOARD_ITEM::ZeroOffset.
Coded DRAWSEGMENT::Draw() from Trace_DrawSegmentPcb() and removed the latter.
Coded EQUIPOT::Draw(), and BOARD::Draw(). Both are dummies for now, but
both can be reasonably implemented in the future.
2008-Mar-30 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+eeschema
Solved: eeschema crashes when create a new sheet, using the default filename and enter it.
Solved: eeschema crashes when delete a sheet label (pin sheet), undo this and move the label.
(bad value (not updated) for the DrawSheetLabelStruct.m_Parent member after redo command in sheet edit).
+all:
Added comments in gestfich.cpp to explain the default paths used by kicad to find help files and lib files
2008-Mar-30 UPDATE Jonas Diemer <diemer-at-gmx.de>

2008-Mar-19 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+eeschema
Renamed some classes and their corresponding KICAD_T types so they are both
simpler, shorter and more closely match each other: the type and the classname.
Wedged a class SCH_ITEM underneath most eeschema drawable items, and this
class came from DrawPartStruct which was largely disfunctional. Eeschema
now more closely matches what we have in pcbnew with the BOARD_ITEM base class.
The corresponding class in eeschema is now SCH_ITEM. Put in some of Jonas'
patch for the dragging of a block. Needs testing, especially dragging
text since there is no GetBoundingBox() for that yet. As an interrim solution
we could make SCH_ITEM::GetBoundingBox() return a HUGE rectangle so that any class
not implementing GetBoundingBox() in eeschema will get properly re-drawn,
in theory.
We are currently using XORing for dragging a single object and using full
redraws for dragging a block. I suppose this can be an experiment for a
week or so. I would not expect that dragging a block of labels with no
other object to work currently (i.e. *visually* correctly).

Will add a UI for editing those soon as soon class LAYER is stable. The
BOARD::SetLayerXXXX( int layerNdx, VALUE ) functions would simply route to
LAYER::SetXXXX( VALUE ). Then layer specific global variables would migrate
to the BOARD::LAYER[]s.
Jean-Pierre please have a look at pcbstruct.h's class LAYER which is just a
prototype for now. EDA_BoardDesignSettings::m_LayerColor would go away,
and then I would add LAYER[] to EDA_BoardDesignSettings or BOARD.
Whether EDA_BoardDesignSettings or BOARD I don't have a strong preference.

* 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-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.

================================================================================
+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.

* 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.

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>

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>
================================================================================

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

If a via connect layers from copper to component, it can have a BURIED VIA attribute.
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.

+ pcbnew
added more disambiguating text to the PcbGeneralLocateAndDisplay() popup
menu for tracks. We need all the info we can get there I found after using
the software for many hours.
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?

* D_PAD::Draw() refinements.
* WinEDA_DrawFrame::SetToolID() will redraw the DrawPanel if the track

will redraw the DisplayPanel, now that SMD pads' colors are so dependent
on these variables.

not greyed out.

* 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)
layers provided. (It had previously been necessary to avoid having any gaps within
the sequence of used Gerber layers.)

The lack of border resizing in dialogs has been a problem. In my world,
dialog boxes are resizable. I use large fonts, I like to see stuff.
So now for __UNIX__ they are resizeable, for windows not.
See fctsys.h and the #define for MAYBE_RESIZE_BORDER. For windows it defaults
to zero which means resizeable is not featured. A compiler command line

* Changed PcbLocateAndDisplay() to be tool specific in its search and to present
a popup menu when there are multiple items under the mouse. It is also
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.

if desired. (Have to traverse m_Tracks twice, wonder if we could use
two lists: m_Tracks and a new m_Vias?)

it gets called virtually with any BOARD_ITEM* which is actually a MODULE*.

@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

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.

================================================================================
+ 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

================================================================================
+ eeschema & pcbnew
modify hotkeys.cpp code (large modifications).
Added: common code in hotkeys_basic.cpp (in common) and hotkeys_basic.h (in include)
In the future, i hope hotkeys will be programmed by a config file
+ pcbnew
filename drc_dialog.prj changed to dialog_drc.prj
(according to the fulename dialog_drc.cpp and dialog_drc.h created by dialogblock from the .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.
2007-aug-11 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+ eeschema
modify hotkeys.cpp code.
2007-Aug-10 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew & common
Improved MODULE::FindPadOrModule().
Ran more source files through auto-beautifier.
Renamed dupltrac.cpp to dupltrac.cpp.notused.
2007-aug-10 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+ eeschema
better hotkeys.cpp code.
2007-Aug-09 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew & common
Released the new Visitor paradigm. Wrote MODULE::FindPadOrModule() using
it.
2007-aug-09 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+ eeschema
Some new hotkeys (see hotkeys.cpp).
Now, the key ? display the current existing hotkeys
2007-Aug-08 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew & common
* 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-08 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+ eeschema
bug in class_hierarchy_sheet.cpp.
+ pcbnew
small change in block commands:
rastnest was updated for each footprint, while moving footprints.
Now it is updated at the end of changes.
enhancements in block.cpp and connect.cpp
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
Started sketching out a new search architecture. To learn more:
look for "INSPECTOR" text in base_struct.h.
2007-Aug-05 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.
* More beautification and commenting.
2007-Aug-04 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>

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.
2007-aug-02 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew
Drc test now generates a DRC file report.
2007-Jul-31 UPDATE Geoff Harland <gharlandau@yahoo.com.au>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew
Drill Map and Drill Report files now list the diameters of each drill in
the selected drill unit first, and then in the other drill unit.
Drill report files also now list the tool assigned to each drill, and
the correct hole count and oval count for each drill size; the
file creation date and the selected drill unit are also listed.
2007-Jul-30 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew
Some file are added (missing .prj files)
Better Drc test:
Zones can be tested.
better pad to pad test.
2007-Jul-25 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
** Some minor enhancements
+ pcbnew
In Drc diags, better (more explicit) messages
Change (and simplify) code in 'update' as well as 'insert' modules into main PCB from within the module editor,
because it had a bug (crashes when there was no footprint in pcb)
2007-June-21 UPDATE Tim Hanson <tim@hardcarve.com>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew
1. added button to 'update' as well as 'insert' modules into main PCB
from within the module editor. Made them functional, of course.
2. added control-o, control-s & control-f to pcbnew,
though I'm not perfectly happy with the implementation -- wxwidgets puts
the control-characters in alphabetical order!
2007-June-25 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew
minor enhancement in Edit footprint dialog (more help tool tips).
better hotkey.cpp (code cleaning and info messages)
2007-June-19 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew
After locking a module with 'L', update the status window with the locked
status. Side step some asserts from wxWidgets which were happening when
running compiled for debug.
2007-June-16 UPDATE Richard A Burton <richardaburton@gmail.com>
================================================================================

2007-June-15 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
================================================================================
+ pcbnew
** only modules on the present layer are subject to individual module
moves, rotations, or layer swaps, with the 'M', 'G', 'R' or 'S' hotkeys.
** only unlocked modules are subject to the individual module moves,
rotations, or layer swaps, with the 'M', 'G', 'R' or 'S' hotkeys.
** implemented the 'L' hotkey to quickly lock or unlock a module,
just by hovering over it and hitting the 'L' or 'l' key. The lock is
toggled.
** Enhanced locate.cpp's Locate_Prefered_Module(BOARD * Pcb, int typeloc)
significantly, it now has a widely ranging behavior based on the
typeloc argument.
