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
This function attempted a poor-man's natural compare but it assumed
specific structure of the string. This broke for strings with
numberings that looked like decimals.
Instead, we use our natural string comparison function and remove the
references to this older function and its similar elements.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/9067
Duplicates are reannotated on paste in the same way in pcbnew and
eeschema such that when copying and pasting the same block in the
pcb and schematic, the reference designators will match.
wx/wx.h includes all wxWidgets .h files, and sometimes creates collision
names in #define between kicad and windows headers
Moreover, blindly including a lot of useless files is compil time consuming
Includes improvements to Update PCB from Schematic dialog and
corresponding changes to Symbol Properties, Sheet Properties and
Footprint Properties.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/4012
Config values were not stored into the right variables.
Make also an option persistent during the session
in DIALOG_UPDATE_PCB and DIALOG_NETLIST
DIALOG_UPDATE_PCB and DIALOG_NETLIST match options: use same order in dialogs.
CHANGED: Settings are now stored in versioned sub-directories
ADDED: First-run dialog for migrating settings from a previous version
CHANGED: Settings are now stored as JSON files instead of wxConfig-style INI files
CHANGED: Color settings are now all stored in a separate settings file
CHANGED: The symbol editor and footprint editor now have their own settings files
CHANGED: Color settings are no longer exposed through BOARD object
CHANGED: Page layout editor now uses Eeschema's color scheme
Settings are now managed through a central SETTINGS_MANAGER held by PGM_BASE.
Existing settings will be migrated from the wxConfig format on first run of each application.
Per-application settings are now stored in one class for each application.
- Previously a warning was generated even for not connectable pads
(pads not on copper layers or without pad name).
- The test is now optional and is disabled by default.
(pads without corresponding pin is schematics are a frequent case)

Make sure the view is rebuilt before selecting the new footprints
so that they're shown only in the selection overlay.
Don't start the drag until the dialog is closed so we don't have
a bunch of extraneous mouse warping.
Fixes: lp:1775265
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1775265
Small icons for dialog browse, refresh, and row operations.
Icons in B&W so they don't over-emphasize with respect to other
controls in the dialog.
Layout cleanup for consistency. Removal of the blank space to
left of the fields list in the Global Fields Editor, and addition
of column-sizing-to-list-width.
More even spacing for buttons in html report panel.
Honor platform conventions for action button order and layout.
Move netlist importer to update-pcb-from-schematic algorithm
(display messages and then update instead of "dry run" checkbox)
(cherry picked from commit b21e19d)
therefore tracks which have a end point inside a pad, but not necessaryexactly to the pad position are seen as connected, and are no more removed.
Side effect: reconnect to pads option is removed, because it is useless.
TODO: use this algorithm in drag functions.
Minor other fixes
* Set default button on all dialogs that do not already have a defined
default button. The only exception is the EESchema net list dialog
which needs converted over to wxFormBuilder and due to it's design makes
setting the default button in any tab other than the default tab
problematic.
* Fix escape key dialog handling bug in EESchema print post script
dialog.
