The issue for the grid color was due to the fact there are 2 places to
store the color: the color settings and the m_gridColor GERBVIEW_FRAME member.
The worksheet color (color set to RED after a color change in layer render)
is a bit strange: looks like LAYER_GERBVIEW_WORKSHEET and LAYER_WORKSHEET
are both used to draw the worksheet.
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.
The standard DIM() macro was not typesafe as it happily deferred errors
to runtime that can be caught at compile time. Replacing it with a
generic C++11 constexpr allows for typecasting, comparison and compile
time error checking.
- New GAL draw layers for GerbView
- Improved bounding boxes for Gerber shapes
- Switched to use of SHAPE_POLY_SET for polygons
- Add GAL methods to support selection and rendering
- Add GUI support of editing GAL options
- Rename get/setActiveLayer to Get/SetActiveLayer to match convention
The introduces INDICATOR_ICON, which is a very simple class holding a
bitmap that can toggle on or off.
The ICON_PROVIDER class then provides icons to INDICATOR_ICONS, which
means the class can be used for more than just row indicators.
A default row icon provider is also provided for use in the standard row
selector.
eeschema now supports arbitrary colors for all object types, and
pcbnew does in GAL canvas. When switching from GAL to legacy canvas,
pcbnew will convert colors to the nearest legacy color.
Pcbnew already uses this attribute when creating Gerber files.
Because Gerber files using this attribute identify the board layers stackup, Gerbview (if this attribute is defined) can sort gerber images stach up like the board.
(in layer manager, just right click to access to the sort menu)
2) Change from legacy Cu stack to counting down from top=(F_Cu or 0).
The old Cu stack required knowing the count of Cu layers to make
sense of the layer number when converting to many exported file types.
The new Cu stack is more commonly used, although ours still gives
B_Cu a fixed number.
3) Introduce class LSET and enum LAYER_ID.
4) Change *.kicad_pcb file format version to 4 from 3.
5) Change fixed names Inner1_Cu-Inner14_Cu to In1_Cu-In30_Cu and their
meanings are typically flipped.
6) Moved the #define LAYER_N_* stuff into legacy_plugin.cpp where they
can die a quiet death, and switch to enum LAYER_ID symbols throughout.
7) Removed the LEGACY_PLUGIN::Save() and FootprintSave() functions.
You will need to convert to the format immediately, *.kicad_pcb and
*.kicad_mod (=pretty) since legacy format was never going to know
about 32 Cu layers and additional technical layers and the reversed Cu
stack.
