Recommendation is to avoid using the year nomenclature as this
information is already encoded in the git repo. Avoids needing to
repeatly update.
Also updates AUTHORS.txt from current repo with contributor names
Fix issue when using a page layout file in project folder: eeschema and Pcbnew did not use it, unless using an absolute path.
Now, if the file path is nor absolute, it is seen as relative to the project (which is the expected behavior)
fp lib wizard: when pcbnew id compiled with USE_GITHUB_PLUGIN=OFF, the github plugin option is no more accessible (and the web viewer no more used).
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)
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.
* Rename all ADD_MENUITEM_* functions to AddMenuItem and move them to
wxstruct.h since they are used by the Kicad main frame classes.
* Move SET_BITMAP and SETBITMAPS definitions to wxstruct.h.
* Fix a bug in SET_BITMAPS that prevented enabling menu item images on
OSX.
* Rename MsgItem to EDA_MSG_ITEM.
* Remove redundant includes from modified files.
* Doxygen and coding style policy fixes.
Added: in file dialog, multiple file selection.
Added: Draw mode selector (in left toolbar):
Raw mode:
a Gerber image is drawn on screen without buffering.
Artifacts happen if there are negative items drawn, if more than one Gerber file is shown.
Stacked mode:
each Geber image is drawn in a buffer and after drawn on screen
No artifact with negative items.
Each Gerber image covers previous images.
OR mode (transparency mode):
each Geber image is drawn in a buffer and after drawn on screen
No artifact with negative items.
Each Gerber image is "ORed" with previous images, like in Pcbnew.
Try to optimize Draw function in buffered modes.
(Useful for PC that have problems with "blit" graphic function)
Fix minor issues.
