Recommendation is to avoid using the year nomenclature as this
information is already encoded in the git repo. Avoids needing to
repeatly update.
Also updates AUTHORS.txt from current repo with contributor names
ADDED: Option to assign unique reference designators to footprints
created with the array tool [pcbnew]
CHANGED: Array creator dialog no longer displays pad numbering properties
when in the board editor. [pcbnew]
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/2354
Remove the axis numbering code from ARRAY_OPTIONS
and place in a new class, ARRAY_AXIS. This keeps
the logic for the array item numbering separate from
the logic for the array item geometry.
This simplifies the logic in the ARRAY_OPTIONS class, which
no longer has to deal with the numbering of each axis.
The geometry and numbering logic is separate to the dialog, and
can be separated for clearer logic and better testability.
Moreover, refactor it to avoid any dependency on pcbnew
classes, so it can be move to common for potential re-use in
eeschema and friends in future.
Also convert all wxPoint logic in these classes to VECTOR2I and
fix some function visibilities.
Add some unit tests of the ARRAY_OPTIONS geometry and numbering.
