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.
Currently, the plugindir in the plugin manager is constructed as
{CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/bin/../{CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR}/kicad/..., while
CMakes install uses {CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR}/kicad/...
In case CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR is a relative path "install" prefixes it
with CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX and both paths happen to match, otherwise
the constructed path ends up as e.g. "/usr/bin/../usr/lib/kicad/...".
For these cases where an absolute path is wanted CMake provides the
CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_<dir> variants which works the same as
CMAKE_INSTALL_<dir> when used as DIRECTORY for install.
Before the change, the plugins had to be installed to one of the default
search paths, but it should not be necessary for developers working on
3D viewer plugins.
* Use platform cache path insted of the KiCad configuration path to write the
3D model cache.
* OSX: ${HOME}/Library/Caches/kicad/3d
* Linux: ${XDG_CACHE_HOME}/kicad/3d or ${HOME}/.cache/kicad/3d
* Windows: AppData\Local\kicad\3d
