+KiCad ChangeLog 2008
+====================
+
+2008-Dec-31 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
+++Eeschema:
+ Note: this is a work in progress!
+ Files modification.
+ More about italic and bold fields in libraries
+ Use DLIST to handle fields in lib entries
+ Bugs and problems solved in fields edition (some are windows only).
+
+
+2008-Dec-30 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
+++Eeschema:
+ Note: this is a work in progress!
+ Change dialog to edit fields in libedit.
+ Most of code created by Dick to edit fields in shematic is reused (this was the goal).
+ Component dialog properties -in libedit) is not modified, and fields can be also edited with it.
+ New dialog box is similar to the component dialog box used in schematic.
+ But all features do not work (work in progress!)
+ TODO (by me):
+ use vector to handle fields in libraries, like schematic.
+ Finish work, and test it.
+
+2008-Dec-29 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
+++all
+ * gr_basic.h DOXYGEN comments. made a couple functions static and removed
+ those from gr_basic.h since they are private to gr_basic.c. changed the
+ polygon code to use wxPoints since that is what the underlying wxWidgets
+ API uses.
+++gerbview
+ * More work on drawing polygons, erasure of polygons completed.
+ * Added full support for aperture macro 6, MOIRE.
+ * Example 2 in RS274xrevd_e.pdf almost draws properly now. Need ARC support
+ in polygons, and need polygon aperture type support to complete.
+
+
+2008-Dec-28 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
+++Eeschema:
+ More about italic and bold texts options in fields and graphic texts
+
+
+2008-Dec-22 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
+++Pcbnew:
+ Added dialog box to edit graphic items (graphic segments, circles, arcs)
+ properties
+
+
+2008-Dec-22 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
+++All
+ Cleaning code to draw/plot texts:
+ Now only one function is used to draw and plot texts in pcbnew in all formats
+ Italics texts are allowed in pcbnew (work in progress)
+
+2008-Dec-14 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
+++All
+ Cleaning code to draw/plot texts (work in progress):
+ Now only one function is used to draw and plot texts (not for pcbnew)
+ (easier to maintain and ensure texts have the same size in ploting and drawing)
+ In eeschema, italic and bold texts allowed (in pcbenew, texts thickness is already adjustable)
+
+
+2008-Dec-18 UPDATE Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@verizon.net>
+================================================================================
+++all
+ * Virtualize DrawFrame class methods required to eliminate compiling
+ drawframe.cpp multiple times depending on the application being built.
+ * Move zoom.cpp and drawframe.cpp to common library and update CMake files.
+ * drawpanel.cpp - Extracted mouse wheel events out of mouse event handler,
+ generate commands for mouse wheel events, and moved panning from DrawFrame
+ class into DrawPanel class.
+ * Initial ground work for new zoom implementation.
+
+
+2008-Dec-15 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
+++gerbview
+ Implemented most of the "thermal" aperture macro, at least so that it
+ displays as concentric circles OK. Still need to do the cross hairs.
+ Fixed a bug loading aperture macros from disk, could crash gerbview.
+ Switched TRACKs to after polygons in tracepcb.cpp, temporary solution until
+ I have more time.
+
+
+2008-Dec-14 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
+++pcbnew
+ Display a short net name on vias and pads (if zoom level allows it).
+ Short net names are net names without hierarchy path
+ Add m_ShortNetname and change m_Netname to private in classes D_PAD and EQUIPOT
+
+
+2008-Dec-08 UPDATE Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@verizon.net>
+================================================================================
+++all
+ * Remove all instances of application pointers both global and embedded
+ member variables. Use wxGetApp() for improved readability and type
+ safety.
+
+
+2008-Dec-6 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
+++pcbnew & gerbview
+ * As a final migration step, made BOARD_ITEM::SetNext() and
+ BOARD_ITEM::SetBack() _private_, starting at BOARD_ITEM in the class
+ hierarchy so that the compiler will tell us where they are used illegally.
+ Classes derived from BOARD_ITEM then also cannot expose SetNext() and
+ SetPrev(), and this forces everthing related to BOARD_ITEM through DLIST for
+ list manipulation. The compiler turned up a couple I had missed, two of which
+ were the back pointers of MODULE::m_Reference->Back(), m_Value->Back(), which I
+ do not think are needed since the MODULE owns these texts, not the other way around.
+ This should be the final nail in the coffin for undisciplined list manipulation
+ within pcbnew and gerbview.
+ * Converted BOARD::Delete() into BOARD::Remove() and then added an inline for
+ BOARD::Delete() which deletes what Remove() returns.
+ * Removed BOARD::DeleteMARKER( int ) since BOARD::Delete() works.
+ * Removed gerbview's undelete.cpp and made gerbview use pcbnew's,
+ by moving the two supporting functions into the common base class
+ of WinEDA_BasePcbFrame, had to add some "#if !defined(GERBVIEW)"s.
+
+
+2008-Dec-5 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
+++pcbnew & gerbview
+ * Renamed Struct3D_Master to S3D_MASTER.
+ * MODULE::m_3D_Drawings is now a DLIST<>
+ * Removed AddToChain(), DeleteStructList() and replaced with calls to DLIST<>
+ members so that list item counting stays accurate.
+
+
+2008-Dec-05 UPDATE Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@verizon.net>
+================================================================================
+++all
+ * Simplified and improved grid implementation. User grid will no longer
+ be displayed if it is the same as any of the default grid sizes.
+ * Removed unused grid code in BASE_SCREEN class.
+ * Source file share/drawpanel.cpp now compiled into common library.
+ * Declare WinEDA_Appl so you can use wxGetApp() instead of passing app
+ pointers all over the place.
+ * Fixed assertion in debug build of 3D viewer.
+ * Some general code beautification and redundant header file removal in files
+ changed by the grid implementation.
+
+
+2008-Dec-3 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
+++pcbnew & gerbview
+ * added g_CurrentTrackList, and made g_CurrentTrackSegment and g_FirstTrackSegment
+ be #defines into this DLIST<TRACK>, see pcbnew.h.
+ * Changed to DLIST<> for almost all the list heads in BOARD.
+ Switched datatype of BOARD::m_Track, BOARD::m_Zone, etc to DLIST<>.
+ This simplifies BOARD::~BOARD() somewhat, and adds automatic counting of list elements and encapsulation
+ of all list operations into DHEAD member functions, see common/dlist.cpp.
+ * Removed TRACK::Insert() since it no long fits with the new BOARD::m_Track and BOARD::m_Zone datatypes.
+ * Removed the g_UnDeleteStack support from <any>::UnLink(), this may leave a deficiency, but this code needs
+ to be external to UnLink() anyway.
+ * Made TRACK::SetNext() and TRACK::SetBack() private so they may not be used,
+ the only way to put a TRACK on a list is through DLIST<TRACK>::PushFront()
+ and other member functions of DLIST<TRACK>.
+ * Switched to std::vector<TRACK*> in track.cpp to hold the temporary static list.
+ * Renamed some KICAD_Ts to more closely match the corresponding classname.
+++gerbview
+ * Switched to GR_COPY mode for drawing so we can see the erasures. debugged
+ erasures in rs274d.cpp.
+ * Now using order specific TRACK loading, so erasures come after objects they
+ are intended to erase. Still need layer ordering and polygon ordering support, my todo.
+
+ I do not like DeleteStructList() and plan to migrate away from it, DLIST<>:DeletAll()
+ does something like it.
+
+
+=======
+2008-Dec-03 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
+++pcbnew
+ Switch to polygons in zones (old way no more supported)
+ areas can be now filled using solid polygons, or using segments to fill areas inside polygons.
+ results are same, but using segments can be better (faster redraw time) for polygons having a lot
+ of segments (more than 10000)
+
+2008-Dec-02 UPDATE Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@verizon.net>
+================================================================================
+++build fixes
+ * Changed wxWidgets library find order so monolithic build is no longer
+ required (at least on MinGW).
+ * Changed CreateSVNVersionHeader.cmake to fall back to "build_version.h"
+ when 'svn info' command fails. The default macro that ships with CMake
+ will not create build files when 'svn info' fails.
+
+
+2008-Nov-25 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
++eeschema
+ edit component in schematic editor. works pretty well, I'm done.
+
+
+2008-Nov-24 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
++eeschema
+ edit component in schematic editor. It is not complete but further.
+ Keep your old eeschema binary, this one does not fully work yet, another day or so.
+ Switched away from wxGrid to wxListCtrl, and that class is poorly documented
+ so much time pioneering how to use it. Should go faster now.
+
+
+2008-Nov-23 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
++all
+ + Made _protected_ EDA_BaseStruct's:
+ EDA_BaseStruct* Pnext; /* Linked list: Link (next struct) */
+ EDA_BaseStruct* Pback; /* Linked list: Link (previous struct) */
+ EDA_BaseStruct* m_Parent; /* Linked list: Link (parent struct) */
+ EDA_BaseStruct* m_Son; /* Linked list: Link (son struct) */
+ + Split TRACK::Draw() out for SEGVIA
+ + Added dlist.h & dlist.cpp for DLIST<> template. All the _inline_ list manipulation
+ code throughout the package is rediculous. I don't mind list traversal, only
+ list manipulation. DLIST<> templates can be used to consolidate reliable
+ list manipulation operations and get this code out of the mainline.
+ These functions are shared/inherited for any derivation, so only one copy exists
+ in the final program image. To use, simply declare e.g. DLIST<D_PAD> or similar.
+ See dlist.h, template class DLIST for function comments.
+ + added EDA_BaseStruct::m_List to assist in debugging list manipulation functions.
++eeschema
+ Started on the edit component in schematic editor. It is not complete and
+ breaks the usefulness of the editor at this moment. Do not build this version
+ if you want to fully use eeschema.
+
+
+2008-Nov-22 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
+++pcbnew
+ Some cleanup in dialog pad edition.
+ Added:
+ Zones now have a min thickness filled area parameter
+ that ensure a minimun width for filled copper areas
+ (areas below this min thickness are removed)
+ Shapes also are better
+
+
+2008-Nov-19 UPDATE Jerry Jacobs <jerkejacobs@gmail.com>
+================================================================================
+++kicad-library
+ Moved {number}DIP packages to DIP-{number}__{WIDTH} seperated library dip_sockets.mod
+ Created DIP Packages board
+++kicad.pro template
+ Added dip_sockets library to pcbnew libraries in template file
+
+
+2008-Nov-18 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
+++pcbnew
+ First version of pcbnew using polygonal filled areas in zones in rats nets calculations.
+ Needs more tests.
+
+
+2008-Nov-14 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
+kbool:
+ Using the last version (1.9) of kbool, downloaded from the wxArt2D project site
+ (see www.wxart2d.org)
+ But the version 1.8 bug still is here.
+ So using the workaround remains mandatory.
+ (this is not a problem because thermal shapes are better...)
+
+
+
+2008-Nov-14 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
++gerbiew
+ + Added support for displaying most aperture macros embedded in a RS274X compatible file.
+ Cleanup of rs274d.cpp and added the beginning of the isDark support, which we
+ need to discuss. GERBER::m_ImageNegative can toggle during the course of reading
+ a rs274x file and sometimes this means erasing things.
+ + Tested pcbnew's gerber plotting, still working. Done
+ with aperture macros for now, but we need to handle the isDark support to
+ top it off after discussion.
+
+
+2008-Nov-8 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
+++pcbnew
+ Thermal shapes modification for round and oblong pads.
+ This is a workaround for a bug (i believe) of kbool.
+ New thermal shapes have NO angle < 90 degrees between 2 adjacent segments.
+ For shapes that have angle < 90 degrees between 2 adjacent segments,
+ under certains circumstances kbool drops some holes and creates a bad filled area.
+ (see zones_convert_brd_items_to_polygons.cpp)
+
+
+2008-Nov-8 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
++gerview
+ Added support for reading in aperture macros embedded in a RS274X compatible file.
+ Cannot display them yet.
+ General cleanup of gerbview. GERBER_Descr replaced with class GERBER.
+ ReturnToolDescr() replaced with GERBER::GetDCODE().
+ D_CODEs are created lazily now. pcbnew's gerber plotting needs testing, might
+ have broke something there, accidentally.
+
+
+2008-nov-5 UPDATE Andrey Fedorushkov <andrf@mail.ru>
+================================================================================
++all:
+ Add cyrillic font support.
+ Add russian GOST worksheet support.
+
+2008-nov-2 CLEANUP Jerry Jacobs <jerkejacobs@gmail.com>
+================================================================================
+++kicad:
+ Cleanup comment/codestyle to make things more clear for newbie codeviewer
+ and developers.
+ + buildmnu.cpp
+ + commandframe.cpp
+ + kicad.cpp
+ + treeprj_frame.cpp
+
+
+2008-oct-30 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
+++All
+ Use double instead float when possible, ande code cleaning.
+ Some changes for a better code compatibility with others compliers (MSVC)
+ (__MSVC__ must be defined when using MSVC)
+ (double round(double) and typeof unkown in MSVC)
+ Note: I cannot test kicad under MSVC.
+
+
+2008-Oct-19 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
++eeschema
+ Fixed SCH_COMPONENT() copy constructor with Jean-Pierre's bug catch.
+ Developed a non-functional fbp file using wxFormBuilder for the new
+ dialog_edit_component_in_schematic dialog which I plan on coding in the
+ next couple of weeks as time permits.
+
+2008-oct-17 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew:
+ Solved a bug when creating a new zone outline that could crash pcbnew
+ More about copper zones filled without grid (by polygons)
+ Currently for tests only (work in progress).
+ now working: Thermal reliefs parameters can be set.
+
+2008-oct-11 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew:
+ More about copper zones filled without grid (by polygons)
+ Currently for tests only (work in progress).
+ now working
+ thermal reliefs.
+ texts on copper zones.
+ Removing insulated copper islands.
+ currently : not implemented:
+ trapezoidal pads
+
+2008-oct-07 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew:
+ More about copper zones filled without grid (by polygons)
+ Currently for eyes and tests only (work in progress).
+ now working
+ thermal reliefs.
+ texts on copper zones.
+ To select this feature choose No Grid in zone grid filling.
+ Work in progress:
+ currently : not implemented:
+ Removing insulated copper islands.
+ trapezoidal pads
+
+
+2008-Oct-6 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
++eeschema
+ First work on arbitrary number of user fields, i.e. name/value pairs,
+ per schematic component. Use std::vector to hold fields, added GetField()
+ function to SCH_COMPONENT.
+
+
+2008-oct-02 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew:
+ First tests about copper zones filled without grid (by polygons)
+ Currently for eyes and tests only.
+ To select this feature choose No Grid in zone grid filling.
+ Work in progress:
+ currently : not implemented:
+ thermal reliefs (pads are always covered by copper zones).
+ texts on copper zones.
+ Removing insulated copper islands.
+
+2008-Oct-1 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew
+ gen_modules_placefile.cpp: backed out of the "Cu & Cmp" centric terminology
+ and moved towards using layer names which are BOARD specific.
+
+
+2008-Sep-26 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew:
+ more about use polygons in zone fill algos on technicals layers:
+ plot Ok. holes are handled
+
+2008-Sep-26 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew:
+ Starting work to use polygons in zone fill algos.
+ Currently, use this to add zone on non copper layers (technical layers)
+ Only for eyes.
+ Plot outputs do not handle this.
+ Problems with holes in zones.
+ Also: first used of wxFormBuilder
+
+
+2008-Sep-17 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew:
+ Fixed a bug in modedit which crashes pcbnew when closing the properties module dialog
+ Both in trunk and tagged versions
+
+
+2008-Sep-17 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++eeschema:
+ code cleaning
+ PartTextStruct class name changed to a name : SCH_CMP_FIELD
+
+2008-Sep-14 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew:
+ Fixed a problem in zone filling algo: due tu differents ways to truncate coordinates
+ between 2 functions (one round coordinates, and others truncate coordinates),
+ some start points used to fill zones can be inside the zone outlines,
+ but placed outside when init matrix parameters when rounding them instead of truncate.
+ So zone was filled inside and outside when happens.
+
+
+2008-Sep-9 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
++eeschema
+ Fixed a bug plotting pins with circles in them from eeschema.
+ Added type FILL_T.
+
+
+2008-Aug-26 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++all:
+ subtle bug solved: no response to the first left click command after opening a dialog box
+ (after an item edition, for instance)
+
+2008-Aug-22 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++eeschema:
+ bug solved: netlist calculations could crash eeschema under very rare circumstances.
+ recent bug solved: background filled shapes (filled but not solid: texts are readables inside shapes)
+ were drawn (and plotted) as filled (solid) shapes
+
+2008-Aug-18 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew:
+ bug solved: Horizontal Oblong pads holes have a bad T Code size in the drill file.
+
+
+2008-Aug-15 UPDATE Jerry Jacobs <jerkejacobs@gmail.com>
+================================================================================
++About dialog
+modified: (common.cpp) GetAboutBuildVersion() is a custom build version for the about dialog
+ (config.h.cmake)
+ (CreateSVNVersionHeader.cmake) KICAD_ABOUT_VERSION macro added
+
+added: (about_dialog.cpp) InitKiCadAbout() initalise the about dialog
+
+removed: (common/infospgm.cpp) is no longer needed
+
+
+2008-Aug-11 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++eeschema:
+ libedit:
+ solved : a bug which can crash eeschema on a double click.
+ modified : pin lenght edit in pin edit dialog. The value (handle by spin control) was not editable with recent wxWidgets versions
+
+2008-Aug-09 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew:
+ bug solved: pads holes not printed.
+ enforced controls against malformed libraries
+
+2008-Aug-06 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew:
+ Removed an obsolete option in the plot menu, in gerber format.
+ Cleanup code.
+ Solved a minor bug: rastnest was not displayed after a move module
+ and if the command was aborted
+
+2008-Juil-31 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++eeschema:
+ Added component sheet X,Y location in BOM.
+ Netlist generation: now spaces in names are replaced by '_' for pcbnew (which does not accept spaces)
+ Bug: print all pages did not work.
+ Please note in complex hierarchy, the current "Print All" function needs to be enhanced,
+ because it does not draw all sheets but only all different sheets
+
+2008-Jule-08 UPDATE Andrey Fedorushkov <andrf@mail.ru>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew:
+ Added displayed length highlighted net to pcbnew/affiche.cpp
+
+
+2008-June-22 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++all:
+ Default path kicad/share added when searching kicad data (like library, internat ...)
+ Kicad data Default paths are now (windows version and linux server install)
+ 1 - kicad/share
+ 2 - kicad
+
+
+2008-June-15 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++eeschema:
+ Bug solved: Eeschema crashed when creating a new subsheet with the same
+ filename as an existing filename, if loading this existing file.
+
+
+2008-June-11 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++all:
+ Online doc format changed to PDF format.
+ This is **very** easier to handle, because :
+ - Openoffice has a very good pdf export function.
+ - Only one file for application
+ - Is standart (The old html format used a zipped archive, not standart)
+ - the doc tree is less complex (see doc/help/fr or doc/help/en for the new tree).
+
+ If a localized doc file is not found, the english version is automatically loaded instead.
+ No need to copy the same pdf file in subdirectory.
+
+
+2008-June-06 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++all:
+ minor changes
+ added void SetLocaleTo_C_standard(void) and void SetLocaleTo_Default(void)
+ This is wrapper to the C setlocale( LC_NUMERIC, "C" )
+ and setlocale( LC_NUMERIC, "" )function,
+ but could make more easier an optional use of locale in kicad in floating point notations
+
+
+2008-May-30 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew
+ removed GPC library due to its unacceptable (and stupid) license
+ using the powerfull kbool library insteed (see polygon/kbool)
++all:
+ minor changes
+
+
+2008-May-22 UPDATE Martin Kajdas <kajdas@cox.com>
+================================================================================
++all
+ Moved all XPM files to <kicad>/bitmaps directory and fixed all related files
++PCBnew
+ Changed File/Export shortcut from 'x' to 'e'
+
+
+2008-May-21 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++eeschema:
+ Solved: problem in manual part selection for multiple parts per package components
+
+
+2008-May-17 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
++all
+ Removed bitmaps.cpp. Made a static library target named "bitmaps" which
+ gets linked into any app needing bitmaps. Changed bitmaps.h to simply
+ include an alphabetized listing of the bitmap arrays.
+ We can now continue to migrate all remaining bitmaps into:
+ > the <base>/bitmaps directory
+ > the <base>/bitmaps/CMakeLists.txt file there
+ > the include/bitmaps.h file.

+================================================================================
++pcbnew
+ specctra export: now generate unique pin names from module padnames in the
+ case where there are non-unique pad names within a module. Tested with
+ Electra demo, and *.dsn files load OK in there as well as in freerouter.
+ Stopped using reserved layer name "signal" and instead output a full
+ padstack consisting of all pertinent layers for via, pads, and keepouts.

+================================================================================
++eeschema
+ * commiting my changes to allow multiple instances of a given schematic file within a hierarchy:
+ ** internally, m_currentScreen has been replaced with m_currentSheet,
+ which is a list or 'path' of screens. The path of screens is used to generate
+ a series of timestamps, which is converted to flat component reference via a look-up
+ table in the schematic files.
+ ** this means that m_currentScreen is no longer used -- use GetScreen().
+ ** GetScreen is virtual, as some of the dialogs keep around a WinEDA_BaseScreen pointer.
+ ** all sub-sheets in a given schematic must have different names to generate a meaningful netlist.

+2008-Feb-11 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew
+ * Added case TYPETRACK, TYPEVIA, and TYPEMODULE support to Board::Add() so
+ that we can over time hide more of the storage architecture of a BOARD and
+ isolate those dependencies in fewer places.
+ * Fixed some pad orientation issues in specctra_export.
+ * Added VIA_MICROVIA & VIA_BLIND_BURIED support to SPECCTRA::makeVIA().
+ * Commented out the specctra design import menu choice for now, don't have
+ time or need for this import.
+ * Specctra export adds 1/2 mil to clearance rules for freerouter so that
+ the routed board clears our DRC checker OK.
+ * Session import seems done now.
+
+
+2008-Feb-7 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew
+ added "const" to SEGVIA::GetDrillValue() const;
+ added GetDrillValue() to DRC instead of accessing SEGVIA::m_Drill directly.
+ changed specctra_export so it aborts if all reference designators are not
+ unique. Unless they are unique we cannot import the routed session. A
+ good example is the xylinx board which now fails to export.
+ first rough work on SEGVIA::makeVIA() but needs much more work. Simple
+ session files with vias at least import. Now encode drill diameter in
+ padstack name for later session import.
+ updated todo.txt file.
+
+
+2008-Feb-7 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew
+ specctra import of *.ses, did tracks and components.
+ renamed copy_track.cpp to copy_track.cpp.notused
+ removed copy_track.cpp from pcbnew/CMakeLists.txt

+
+
+2008-Feb-3 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew
+ * specctra_export.cpp was not exporting the nets correctly, now fixed.
+ * Had a problem with an isolated pad modification on a single module instance
+ in the context of several unmodified instances of same module, now fixed.
+ * Fixed oval pads to make freerouting.net happy.
+ See: http://www.freerouting.net/usren/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=317#p408
+ Done with specctra export for now, will think about adding controls (by dialog)
+ on the export later.
+ * Beautification of a few modules.

+================================================================================
++pcbnew:

+
+
+2008-Jan-28 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew:
+ - Better criteria to find starting poind in zone filling: the filling alg. uses
+ pads, vias and track ends to find where start the filling.
+ - Added a tool + option in popup menu in track mode (select track width):
+ when creating a track, if activated: if we starts on an existing track,
+ the new track takes the width of the existing track
+
+
+2008-Jan-27 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
++all:
+ I got a patch from Mr. Wayne Stambaugh which makes it possible to compile
+ infospgm.cpp once and link the same *.o file multiple times.
+ Jean-Pierre, if you not yet using CMake, you should edit your make.include
+ so that infospgm.cpp is only compiled once for everything, not once per
+ program. Wayne is a competent developer who contacted me about contributing.
+ I consider him a welcome addition to the developers, Dick.
+
+
+2008-Jan-25 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew:
+ * SPECCTRA export does padstacks ok, except that oval pad's arcs need to be split
+ into quarter circle arcs, and no consideration is given to "layer types".
+ See page bottom of page 74 of the SECCTRA Design Language Reference, May 2000.
+ * HISTORY_NUMBER was spelt with a zero.
+ * Width was spelt as Widht
+

+2008-Jan-25 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew:
+ - void Change_Side_Module( MODULE* Module, wxDC* DC ) is now member of class BOARD.
+
+ - Better support for micro vias and buried vias (drill files now are useable for board manufacturers)
+ But not yet tested by a board manufacturer. Be carefull.
+ Todo: tools to conversion between via through and buried via and buried viad optimisation.
+ But must works for micro vias (needed for my next board)
+ (in pcbnew micro vias are blind vias between 2 adjacent layers: micro vias must be enabled
+ in Dimensions/track and via menu, and placed by ctrl v.
+ They are intended to connect small pitch BGA pins to the inner layer, and can be drilled by laser
+ if the hole diameter is small < 0.2mm. A laser can only drill a hole between 2 adjacent layers ).
+
+ ** Currently use buried via for tests only, not for production **.
+
+
+2008-Jan-24 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew:
+ * Export a specctra *.dsn file includes some padstacks, not ovals yet.

+2008-Jan-23 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew:
+ * Export a *.dsn file includes ZONE_CONTAINERs, was actually able to load
+ a board with zones into the freerouter.net package! No components, traces yet,
+ just zones and layers. Fixed parsers and Format()ers.
+ * Rewrote SPECCTRA_DB::readTIME() to dodge a missing strptime() on windows.
+
+
+2008-Jan-23 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew:
+ Plot option in GERBER format Plot (Exclude Edge Pcb layer) modification:

+ - this setup is now save in config (is persistant)
+
+ In Zone creation, now delete last created corner works.
+
+2008-Jan-22 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew:
+ * Actually able now to export a *.dsn file, but the contents of the file
+ is incomplete, not a complete input BOARD.
+ * Added DRAWSEGMENT::Show() for debugging.
+ * Changed specctra.h's POINT to use double for coordinates. Changed format
+ string for Format()ing a double.
+ * Changed specctra_export.cpp to actually output an incomplete file.
+ * Added BOARD::GetCopperLayerCount() and BOARD::GetLayerName().
+
+
+2008-Jan-21 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
++pcbnew:
+ Added specctra_export.cpp, specctra.cpp, specctra.h, dsn.cpp, and dsn.h to
+ pcbnew's link requirements. Updated CMakeLists.txt to reflect this. This
+ increased pcbnew's size by 175kb so far. Started the actual export (i.e.
+ BOARD to DSN::PCB copying logic) which is going into specctra_export.cpp's
+ void WinEDA_PcbFrame::ExportToSPECCTRA( wxCommandEvent& event ) so that the
+ huge header file, specctra.h need only be included in one or two *.cpp
+ files. The specctra export menu support was added to id.h, wxPcbStruct.h,
+ menubarpcb.cpp, and pcbframe.cpp. After dsn export, I intend to add an
+ import, and a session file feedback merge. See the revised
+ how-to-build-kicad.txt for the new boost c++ libraries requirement.

+2008-Jan-18 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
++all:
+ filtering small mouse moves ( < 5 pixels) when clicking.
+ Starting a wire or a track is now more easily because these small moves do not start a block commnad.
+
++pcbnew:
+ rework of drill filles creation (excellon and reports)
+ needed to have a clean implantation of buried vias and mainly microvia
+ which involve a more complex drill files generation
+ This is better to continue work on zones because :
+ hight density boards = use of BGA = microvias + good zones handling
+ When a board has buried or blind vias (microvia are blind vias),
+ pcbnew creates a drill file per layer pair. for a 4 layer board:
+ drill file for layer1 to layer 2
+ drill file for layer2 to layer 3
+ drill file for layer3 to layer 4
+
+
+2008-Jan-18 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
