! The initial testing of this commit should be done using a Debug build so that
all the wxASSERT()s are enabled. Also, be sure and keep enabled the
USE_KIWAY_DLLs option. The tree won't likely build without it. Turning it
off is senseless anyways. If you want stable code, go back to a prior version,
the one tagged with "stable".
* Relocate all functionality out of the wxApp derivative into more finely
targeted purposes:
a) DLL/DSO specific
b) PROJECT specific
c) EXE or process specific
d) configuration file specific data
e) configuration file manipulations functions.
All of this functionality was blended into an extremely large wxApp derivative
and that was incompatible with the desire to support multiple concurrently
loaded DLL/DSO's ("KIFACE")s and multiple concurrently open projects.
An amazing amount of organization come from simply sorting each bit of
functionality into the proper box.
* Switch to wxConfigBase from wxConfig everywhere except instantiation.
* Add classes KIWAY, KIFACE, KIFACE_I, SEARCH_STACK, PGM_BASE, PGM_KICAD,
PGM_SINGLE_TOP,
* Remove "Return" prefix on many function names.
* Remove obvious comments from CMakeLists.txt files, and from else() and endif()s.
* Fix building boost for use in a DSO on linux.
* Remove some of the assumptions in the CMakeLists.txt files that windows had
to be the host platform when building windows binaries.
* Reduce the number of wxStrings being constructed at program load time via
static construction.
* Pass wxConfigBase* to all SaveSettings() and LoadSettings() functions so that
these functions are useful even when the wxConfigBase comes from another
source, as is the case in the KICAD_MANAGER_FRAME.
* Move the setting of the KIPRJMOD environment variable into class PROJECT,
so that it can be moved into a project variable soon, and out of FP_LIB_TABLE.
* Add the KIWAY_PLAYER which is associated with a particular PROJECT, and all
its child wxFrames and wxDialogs now have a Kiway() member function which
returns a KIWAY& that that window tree branch is in support of. This is like
wxWindows DNA in that child windows get this member with proper value at time
of construction.
* Anticipate some of the needs for milestones B) and C) and make code
adjustments now in an effort to reduce work in those milestones.
* No testing has been done for python scripting, since milestone C) has that
being largely reworked and re-thought-out.
In particular the new mechanism for handling extended color palettes is in place,
included renaming the ini keys and saving the color name instead of its index; this means better forward compatibility with palette changes.
Since ini keys are changed, colors will be reset
Should allow Pcbnew code easier to change and Gerbview code more understandable and easier to maintain.
Code cleaning (remove dead code, add comments).
Minor other enhancements.
* Grammar and spelling fixes in Eeschema, CvPcb, and Pcbnew path and
library dialog tool tips.
* Translate the French file name subrill.cpp to highlight.cpp.
* 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.
* All header files used to create the PCB common library now compile as
stand alone code. This prevents the need to define them in a specific
order to make source code compile properly. It should also now be
possible to relocate the source code to build the common PCB library
to a separate folder.
(WxWidgets 2.9.1 seems call setlocale( LC_NUMERIC, "" ) when wxConfig read doubles stored in config, but forget to back to current locale.)
Note: perhaps there are some dialogs that need this call to SetLocaleTo_Default() ).
* Minor code cleanup in pcbnew/netlist.cpp
Added hotkeys editor from David Turner, with a lot of enhancements and fixes
Added pins connections info in intermediate netlist for each compoment. This is redundant, but some netlist formats (ORCADPCB, PSPICE) are very easy to create with this redundant info.
* Split out application specific command IDs to prevent unnecessary rebuilding.
* Eliminate duplicate menu and tool bar command IDs.
* Split component library editor and viewer definitions to separate header files.
* More component library and document file merge code.
* A bunch of minor string readability and consistency fixes.
* Created separate SVN version header.
* Add true config.h for platform dependency checks.
* Add dependency check cmake module.
* Remove some leftover hand crafted make files.
* Remove non-cmake build instructions from COMPILING.txt.
* Fix split _() strings causing Visual C++ compiler error.
* Fix lots of compiler warnings.
* Change project file parameter container from wxArray to boost::vector_ptr.
* Removed lots of redundant header definitions.
* Fixed green_xpm redefinition in ercgreen.xpm.
* Remove some dead code and unnecessary class methods.
