Previously, acute angles (especially small angles) in zone outlines create incorrect shapes and sometimes strange shapes for clearance areas, when using generic algorithms.
This happens when zones outlines have "spikes", but not usually for smooth outlines.
* auto-save was broken for all sub sheets with are in a sub-directory of the project directory. (reason wxFileName::Normalize(), used to create the absolute path has issues with filenames starting by '$', perhaps due to env var which also start by $). the auto-save prefix is modified ( now AUTOSAVE_PREFIX_FILENAME which defines "_save_" ) and defined only once.
* auto-save files from sub-sheets were not found due to the fact the path was not set (fixed by Blair Bonnet's patch)
* move not shared files (sch_item_struct.*, sch_base_frame.h) to eeschema;
* move wxEeschemaStruct.h to eeschema and rename it schframe.h to be consistent with the other corresponding file name schframe.cpp;
* remove few not needed #include
*) When kicad.exe closes a project, close any open KIFACEs so that they cannot
get disassociated from their true PROJECT.
*) Allow loading eeschema library editor from kicad.exe
*) Allow loading pcbnew library editor from kicad.exe
*) Rename LIB_COMPONENT to LIB_PART.
*) Add class PART_LIBS, and PART_LIB.
*) Make PART_LIBS non-global, i.e. PROJECT specific.
*) Implement "data on demand" for PART_LIBS
*) Implement "data on demand" for schematic SEARCH_STACK.
*) Use RSTRINGs to retain eeschema editor's notion of last library and part being edited.
*) Get rid of library search on every SCH_COMPONENT::Draw() call, instead use
a weak pointer.
*) Remove all chdir() calls so projects don't need to be CWD.
*) Romove APPEND support from OpenProjectFiles().
*) Make OpenProjectFiles() robust, even for creating new projects.
*) Load EESCHEMA colors in the KIWAY::OnKiwayStart() rather in window open,
and save them in the .eeschema config file, not in the project file.
*) Fix bug with wxDir() while accessing protected dirs in kicad.exe
*) Consolidate template copying into PROJECT class, not in kicad.exe source.
*) Generally untangle eeschema, making its libraries not global but rather
held in the PROJECT.
Pcbnew: better test for allowed layers when creating/editing Dimensions and some other Graphic items
Drc: fix comments and messages for some drc tests.
To do: fix issues in active layer selection when creating a track and layer pair selection dialog
In most case the assignment to null was not necessary since it was easily provable that the (local) variable wouldn't have referenced after that anyway.
Eeschema: one string with a bad char (\a, not useable in internationalized strings).
Dialog_page_settings: use not translated strings in code, so strings can be freely translated for the UI.
(Initial code was not working with existing translations)
Update 2 icons.
* Convert Eeschema from manually linked list to DLIST for storing
SCH_ITEM objects.
* Add helper functions to SCH_SCREEN for appending list of SCH_ITEM
objects.
* Fix bug in wire editing code for accurate undo/redo behavior.
* Add member to DLIST to append another DLIST.
* Other minor code cleaning.
sizes. Tested with postscript output only. Required minor file format changes
to reflect the "portrait" setting. common/dialogs/dialog_page_settings.cpp
uses a checkbox but its name is "Landscape", which is inverted from portrait,
but since it is the more common choice, I used that rather than portrait.
The tooltip for that checkbox makes it clear. No portrait mode is supported
for "User" paper size.
* Factor test for auto save file into base frame class.
* Added auto save feature to Eeschema for saving schematics, addresses
launchpad question 173631.
* Add auto save interval control to Eeschema options dialog.
* Fix problem with subsequent auto saves in last commit.
* Move the hierarchical label connected test into the NETLIST_OBJECT class.
* ERC pin type strings can now be translated.
* Remove unused EDA_DRAW_PANEL attribute from all ERC test functions.
* Add get marker count method to SCH_SCREENS object.
* Redundant header removal.
* Lots of coding style policy fixes.
* Correct all user strings and comments for the correct capitalization of
application names according to JP. They are KiCad, Pcbnew, CvPcb,
Eeschema, and GerbView.
* Add a note the the user interface policy about the correct capitalization.
* Add general purpose user write permission test function to base
window class.
* Check user write permissions before saving project, schematic and
library files.
* Remove displaying file dialog every time the project file is saved.
* Display absolute paths for non-root sheet file in title bar.
* Remove redundant command table entry from schematic editor.
* Remove unused variables to fix GCC 4.6 warnings.
* The usual Doxygen comment and coding style policy fixes.
* Move schematic wire and bus break code into schematic screen object.
* Move schematic test for dangling ends into schematic screen object.
* Remove left over debugging output in schematic screen object.
* Remove unused file eeschema/cleanup.cpp.
* Fix bug in schematic line object hit test algorithm.
* Fix a string concatenation compile error added in r2752.
* Rename class WinEDA_BasicFrame to EDA_BASE_FRAME.
* Rename class WinEDA_DrawFrame to EDA_DRAW_FRAME.
* Rename class WinEDA_DrawPanel to EDA_DRAW_PANEL.
* Encapsulate file name member of base screen object.
* Encapsulate associated screen member of schematic sheet object.
* Create add screen method to schematic sheet object to simplify setting
the associated screen.
* Move the change file name code in the schematic sheet object to the edit
sheet method in the schematic editor frame object to eliminate message
dialogs.
* Improve reference counting in schematic screen object.
* Add helper type definitions for changing schematic object storage to C++
containers.
* Rename sch_item files to sch_junction.
* Make global variable g_ItemToRepeat a private member of SCH_EDIT_FRAME
object.
* Encapsulate SCH_SCREEN reference count member.
Pcbnew: cleaning code in block.cpp, and modifye previous way to calculate block size in block command, because old way creates unexpected behavior in block rotate and block flip.
Pcbnew: Fix a bug in plot silkscreen layers.
Cvpcb: Fix compilation issue under MACOX
* Continue component library class clean up and encapsulation work.
* Change hierarchical sheet label container to boost::vector_ptr.
* Encapsulate hierarchical label handling in hierarchical sheet class.
* Convert some missed occurrences of wxString::GetData() to GetChars( wxString ).
* Fix some minor code formatting issues.
