Pcbnew: Plot files: for copper layers, create suffix from user copper layer names instead of default copper layer names, like in last stable Kicad version (bzr 4022), to build the plot files filenames.
Better test of illegal chars in plot filename, both in plot dialog and functions aclled by Python scripts.
Fix a Plotcontroller issue to make SetUseGerberExtensions() work as expected from Python scripts ( from Henner Zeller'patch with a fix to be sure it works properly from a Python script)
Note also using Protel Gerber Extensions is now a bad practice, because the official Gerber extension is .gbr since X2 Gerber version. But some users still use them)
* The board ratsnest visibility state was being saved in both the board file
and the Pcbnew configuration files causing visibility state issues. Use the
board file to save the board ratsnest visibility state.
* Remove all of the board ratsnest save visibility state to configuration file
code.
* Add code to set the board modified property when layer visibility states
change to give the user a chance to save the state in the board file.
* Some minor code cleaning and coding policy fixes.
* Recognize values with units in more recent gEDA footprint files and scale accordingly.
* Join both parseInt() implementations. This should reduce rounding errors as well as
code duplication.
* Fix missing link to MinGW website.
* Add link to library dependency section in introduction.
* Add "Known Issues" section to document known build issues.
* Change command blocks from using ``` to delineate block and use indentation
instead. The ``` method seems to be broken on Doxygen 1.8.9.1 used by the
autobuilder. It also removes the line numbering which did not make sense
for commands that spanned multiple lines.
* Add compiling.md with most of the important information from the plain
text versions of platform specific compiling files.
* Remove the old plain text compiling files and folder.
* Make the about dialog help string consistent across all menus.
* Improve print preview window and print initialization error messages.
* The usual smattering of coding policy fixes.
* Add skip event to notebook page changed event handler. Apparently OSX
updates the selected notebook page in this event instead of the page
changing event used on Window and Linux.
* Improve duplicate net class name error message.
* Use default dialog size to allow sizers to do their job.
* General layout and sizer improvements.
* Remove HTML message window which could not be used when error dialog was displayed.
* Use wxStdDialogButtonSizer for the OK and Cancel buttons.
* Check for design rule validity in TransferDataFromWindow() to prevent dialog from being
closed and all new design rules being lost when an error is detected. This gives the user a
chance to fix any design rules errors before dismissing the dialog.
* Add missing test for extra via drill diameter violations.
* Remove unnecessary OK and Cancel butten clicked event handlers.
* Coding policy fixes in the scripting initialization code missed in my previous commit.
* Remove redundant checks for valid Python library paths in kicadplugins.i.
* Actually install the contents of the pcbnew/scripting/plugins directory on
Windows and Linux
* Move the test for existence of a directory before adding it to the Python
system library paths when loading the Python plugins.
* Only check for search cache update on close dialog event instead of every
update of the find/replace view which caused an infinite loop when replace
all was called.
* Check for dirty search cache for each find/replace event.
* Add code to save and restore last replace index on cache refresh.
