How you ask? Plot first -> then read the PDF and print directly to the
platform-specific printers. Roundabout? Yes. Better than wx printing?
Darnbetcha.
Also allows multi-size page printing and proper margins and print
preview

Use only C-locale functions wxString::ToCDouble and fmt::format{}
functions so that we do not need to set the locale for file io
operations
This also introduces a cmake check that looks for certain banned
functions (strtod, strtof and atof) that convert strings into doubles
by the user locale or formatting specifiers like %f/%g that convert
doubles into strings by the users locale. It will prevent compilation
in this case.
For the limited cases where we want to show the user a string in their
locale, we have an override string "format:allow" that can be added to
lines in order to allow them with %f/%g format specifiers
Glew has the problem that it has to be selected at build time if GLX or
EGL is supported by the library, and this in not encoded in the library
name, nor ABI, nor anything.
Then it's easy to get into the situation that a binary is built but
cannot run because glew supports an API different from the one used by
wxWidgets, or the binary fails to link in the end after all objects are
compiled.
epoxy can support both with the same library avoiding this problem.
epoxy is not initialized explicitly, replaced initialization with
version check where one was not done already.
It seems to be available as vcpkg https://vcpkg.link/ports/libepoxy
There are problems related to GL context switching on Windows which does
not seem to be used in kicad
https://github.com/anholt/libepoxy#known-issues-when-running-on-windows
There is also a problem related to multithreaded rendering on Windows
https://github.com/anholt/libepoxy/pull/265 It's harder to tell if
threading is used for rendering but it does not look like kicad is doing
anything complex enough to warrant using multiple rendering threads.

Schematics, symbols, boards and footprints all get the ability to store
files inside their file structures. File lookups now have a
kicad-embed:// URI to allow various parts of KiCad to refer to files
stored in this manner.
kicad-embed://datasheet.pdf references the file named "datasheet.pdf"
embedded in the document. Embeds are allowed in schematics, boards,
symbols and footprints. Currently supported embeddings are Datasheets,
3D Models and drawingsheets
