+KiCad ChangeLog 2010
+====================
+
+2010-dec-31 UPDATE Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@verizon.net>
+================================================================================
+++all
+  * Exclude boost header include path from Doxygen files.
+  * Coding guide line and doxygen warning fixes.
+++EESchema
+  * Rename OBJ_CMP_TO_LIST to SCH_REFERENCE.
+  * Move code related to SCH_REFERENCE into the object where it belongs in hope
+    that some day the object members can be made private instead of public.
+  * Add GetComponent method to sheet path and sheet path list objects.
+  * Move screen list code into screen list object.
+
+
+2010-Dec-28 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
+++richio:
+  * Deleted kicad_exceptions, because it required the big #include <wx/wx.h> and
+    that was slowing down compiling.  Moved that stuff back into richio.h where
+    it came from.
+  * Enhanced IO_ERROR to format an errorText.
+  * Added THROW_IO_ERROR() and THROW_PARSE_ERROR() macros to capture the
+    the call site of the thrower.  If you have problems compiling, it is probably
+    due to the definition of __LOC__ in richio.h.  Some compilers may not support
+    __func__ in C++ yet.  Find a macro that identifies your compiler, and we can
+    work out something in the #define of __LOC__.
+
+2010-Dec-28 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
+++new:
+    Completed most of /new class LIB_TABLE.
+    Completed all of /new class LPID.
+++common:
+    Tricked xnode.h into not issuing deprecation warnings.
+++richio:
+  * Added support of DSNLEXER( LINE_READER* ) to TokenList2DsnLexer.cmake, which
+    allows the chaining of different grammars on top of a common LINE_READER.
+  * Changed OUTPUT_FORMATTER::Quoted() to return a std::string and not modify
+    its input parameter.
+
+
+2010-dec-21 UPDATE Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@verizon.net>
+================================================================================
+++all
+  * Doxygen comment warning fixes.
+  * Coding policy fixes.
+++common
+  * Add clone method to EDA_ITEM object.
+++EESchema
+  * Replace GenCopy() method with Clone() in all items derived from SCH_ITEM.
+  * Simplify repeat last schematic item with new Clone() method.
+  * Simplify duplicate schematic item method with new Clone() method.
+  * Separate objects in sch_items.h/cpp into separate files per object.
+
+
+2010-dec-20, UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@gipsa-lab.inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
+common:
+    Rename EDA_Rect::Inside to EDA_Rect::Contains
+    ( EDA_Rect::Inside( const EDA_Rect& aRect ) was very ambiguous )
+    Fix some Doxygen warnings and erroneous comments
+
+
+2010-Dec-19 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
+++new:
+    Completed a good portion of /new class DIR_LIB_SOURCE.
+    Added an autonomous CMakeLists.txt file to /new, with new-docs target and
+    test program target.
+
+2010-dec-15, UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@gipsa-lab.inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
+Gerbview:
+    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.
+
+2010-dec-13 UPDATE Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@verizon.net>

+  * Remove deprecated options and quoted project name option in Doxygen file.
+  * Make Bazaar ignore the files generated by Doxygen in the new folder.
+++EESchema
+  * More schematic component encapsulation work.
+  * Doxygen comment fixes.
+
+
+2010-Dec-13 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
+++eeschema:
+    Committed a new design for a "Distributed Library System".
+    To make the html docs, run doxygen in <kicad_base>/new with that as your
+    current working directory, or run the shell script in there.  You need
+    Doxygen installed.
+
+

+
+
+2010-dec-10 UPDATE Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@verizon.net>
+================================================================================
+++All
+  * Make a whole bunch of object methods const in order to make HitTest() const.
+  * Lots of coding policy fixes.
+++common
+  * Add Inside override to EDA_Rect to test if another EDA_Rect is inside.
+  * Add additional parameter to EDA_TextStruct GetTextBox method to support
+    Y axis inversion and non-default thickness.
+  * Add accuracy parameter to EDA_TextStruct TextHitTest method.
+++EESchema

+  * Make schematic and component library object enum naming consistent.
+
+
+2010-dec-08 UPDATE Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@verizon.net>
+================================================================================
+++All
+  * Coding policy object naming and formating fixes.
+++GerbView
+  * Fix compiler warnings.
+++Common
+  * Change item list type from SCH_ITEM to EDA_BaseStruct in BASE_SCREEN
+    object.
+  * Encapsulate BASE_SCREEN drawing item list member.
+  * Change grid container from wxWidgets to standard C++ container.
+
+
+2010-dec-07 UPDATE Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@verizon.net>
+================================================================================
+++EESchema
+  * Finish encapsulating LIB_FIELD object.
+  * Encapsulated all members currently in use in LIB_PIN object.
+++Common
+  * Add SetModified() helper to EDA_BaseStruct object that checks for a parent
+    object and sets it's modified status as well.
+
+
+2010-dec-02 UPDATE Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@verizon.net>
+================================================================================
+++EESchema
+  * Move color configuration dialog to dialogs folder.
+  * Simplify color configuration dialog design, remove enable grid checkbox( I
+    think we have enough places to do this), and remove abbreviated labels.
+  * Restore changing value field behavior to create new component from the
+    current one and handle all of the potential library naming conflict issues.
+  * Create a toolbar button perform the same function as renaming the value
+    field for improved usability.
+  * Add new copy component bitmap contributed by Jean-Pierre Charras.
+
+
+2010-dec-02, UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@gipsa-lab.inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
+Pcbnew:
+    For zone filling algo, change the default polygon library from Kbool to Boost::polygon.
+
+
+2010-dec-01, UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@gipsa-lab.inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
+Gerbview:
+    Added support for complex definitions of parameters in aperture macros and primitives macro
+    (a complex definition in a parameter that is calculated by an arithmetical expression)
+    Gerbview should now have a decent support of Gerber language.
+    Currently only the obscure knockout command is not supported (I have no motivation to do that)
+    Other "bug":
+    scale in A and B axis is poorly supported: coordinates are scaled, but shapes can have problem:
+       fro instance, a circle is drawn as a circle when A and B scales are different,
+       and perhaps should be an ellipse.
+       On the other hand, Gerber doc is not clear about the meaning of A and B scale.
+       (Alas! Gerber doc is not clear about most of advanced commands)
+
+
+2010-nov-19 UPDATE Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@verizon.net>

+  * Kicad coding policy clean ups.
+
+
+2010-nov-17 UPDATE Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@verizon.net>
+================================================================================
+++EESchema
+  * Move library text edit, library draw item edit, SVG print, and BOM dialogs

+  * Rename library text edit dialog file and object names to comply with
+    coding policy.
+  * Set default button in library text edit, library draw item edit, SVG print,
+    and BOM dialogs.
+  * Move BOM dialog code into BOM dialog object source file.
+
+
+2010-nov-11 UPDATE Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@verizon.net>

+
+
+2010-oct-28, UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@gipsa-lab.inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
+PolyLine.cpp:
+    remove unused method CPolyLine::TestPointInsideContour() which was a duplicate of

+
+2010-Oct-20 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
+++richio:
+    LINE_READERs will now allocate a smaller initial size buffer, say 5000 bytes,
+    and then resize their buffers up to some provided maximum, after which an
+    exception is thrown should a line exceed that maximum line length.
+
+
+2010-oct-15, UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@gipsa-lab.inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
+++gerbview:
+    Added support for gerber commands:
+    SR (Step and Repeat)
+    multiple MOIN and/or MOMM in file (switch units from inch to mm and mm to inch)
+
+2010-oct-09, UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@gipsa-lab.inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
+++gerbview:
+    Fixed some issues:
+        Now aperture macro with parameters works.
+        Note: complex parameters (like $1 + 4) are not supported
+
+        other commands not yet supported:
+        SF (scale factors)
+        Offsets (image and layer)
+        Rotations (image and layer)
+        Axis definition
+        Mirroring
+        SR (Step and repeat)
+        KO
+
+2010-Oct-5 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
+++richio:
+  * LINE_READER now has a GetSource() function which is used in error
+    reporting.  This is typically the name of the file which is supplying the
+    lines of text, or string "clipboard" if the text is coming from the clipboard.
+    Derived classes FILE_LINE_READER and STRING_LINE_READER's constructors both
+    need an additional parameter which identifies the source.
+  * FILE_LINE_READER now owns the source FILE and will close it in its destructor.
+    This resulted in the removal of several fclose() statements that had been
+    there to close a file associated with a FILE_LINE_READER.
+  * DSNLEXER now supports an internal LINE_READER* stack which is used to handle
+    nested s-expression files, with the ability to resume from the proper place
+    in the containing file.  There is now PushReader() and PopReader() functions
+    in DSNLEXER to handle this.  No protection is provided against circular
+    inclusions, but this could be done by searching the stack and comparing
+    GetSource() values for anything already on the stack before pushing.
+    Each s-expression grammar is free to define one or more keywords that cause
+    nesting to occur. That policy choice is not part of DSNLEXER's job.
+    One example might be:
+    (inherit (footprint library_uri ftprintname))
+
+2010-oct-04 UPDATE Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@verizon.net>
+================================================================================
+  Initial work on new component library stucture.
+  * Use C++ map in component library instead of boost::ptr_vector.
+  * Drop Boost pointer containers for standard C++ containers.
+  * Moved duplicate name user interface elements from library object to
+    library editor.
+  * Added code to support direct addition and replacement of component
+    alias objects into libraries.
+  * Removed temporary strings used to add and remove alias objects.
+  * Libraries only store alias objects, components now accessed thru alias.
+  * Simplify library API for adding, removing, and replacing components.
+  * Updated edit component in library dialog and library editor to reflect
+    component library object changes.
+  * Fixed bug in library viewer when displaying alias name.
+  * Made a few header files compile stand alone per the new coding policy.
+  * Remove some dead code and the usual code formatting fixes.
+
+
+2010-oct-03, UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@gipsa-lab.inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
+++gerbview:
+    finished Draw functions for aperture macros.
+    Now aperture macros are draww correctly.
+    Known bug: aperture macros having parameters are incorrect: parameters are not transmited correctly.
+    Work still in progress.
+
+2010-sept-28, UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@gipsa-lab.inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
+++gerbview:
+    Important changes:
+    graphic functions rewritten.
+    graphics items are now specific to gerbview (added a GERBER_DRAW_ITEM class)
+    and do not use tracks from pcbnew.
+    The way used to draw them is also new.
+    Apertures are now correctly drawn for round, oval, rectangular and regular polygon shapes
+        (with or without holes)
+    Aperture definition type Polygon is not yet handle.
+    Polygons are correctly drawn.
+    TODO:
+        Draw functions for aperture macros.
+    Work in progress.
+
+
+2010-Aug-9 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
+++CMakeModules:
+    Revise TokenList2DsnLexer.cmake to take outCppFile and outHeaderFile optinally
+    and enum mandatorily.  Standardize the script's invocation technique within
+    all the CMakeLists.txt files.
+
+2010-Aug-8 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
+++CMakeModules:
+    Revise TokenList2DsnLexer.cmake to make an entire derived lexer class that
+    returns the proper enum type for superior debugging.
+++eeschema
+  * netform.cpp now outputs the allowed footprint filters for a given library
+    component.
+  * There is an auto-generated class called NETLIST_LEXER which is defined in
+    from netlist.keywords by TokenList2DsnLexer.cmake into netlist_lexer.h, that

+2010-Jul-30 & 31 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
+++eeschema:

+================================================================================
+++EESchema component library and hierarchical sheet label object improvements.

+  * Encapsulate hierarchical label handling in hierarchical sheet class.
+  * Convert some missed occurrences of wxString::GetData() to GetChars( wxString ).
+  * Fix some minor code formatting issues.
+
+2010-jun-23, UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@gipsa-lab.inpg.fr>
+================================================================================
+++eeschema:
+    In netlist generation, changed the rule to calculate netnames of nets with labels:
+    Previously, named nets (i.e. nets with local, hierarchical or global labels) have their name
+    defined by the first label found in list.
+    So net names could be changed without really changing the schematic.
+    Now the names are calculated from the rules (by priority order) :
+    1 - use the most top level labels in hierarchies.
+    2 - use global labels first, local labels next (hidden power pins names are global labels).
+    3 - use alphabetic sort (so, if GND and AGND are connected, the net will be always named AGND,
+    and adding a VSS connection cannot change the net name)
+    So power nets and nets that have more than one label cannot have their netname changed
+    if there is no actual change relative to these nets names in schematic
+
+
+2010-Jun-17 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
+================================================================================
+++eeschema:
+    Added "template fieldnames" to eeschema.  Thanks to
+    Brian Sidebotham <brian.sidebotham@gmail.com> for the origins of this patch.
+    https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg04828.html
+
+    A template fieldnames are a list of template elements
+    consisting of {name, value, visibility} which you want shown in the eeschema
+    component fieldname (property) editors (both schematic and library versions
+    of the editors). Template fieldnames are forced into the editors'
+    presentation of the fields even though those fields may not exist in the
+    component. Entering a non-blank value while in a field editor will cause the
+    field & value to be retained in the component. Therefore it is unusual to
+    provide a non-blank '.value' in a template, because a trip through the field
+    editor will invariably add that field to the component since the template
+    being applied has initially a non blank 'value'. The current template editor
+    is only going to last about a week and it does not support adding non-blank
+    template values yet, nor visibility control, only field '.name'. But the
+    template fieldnames configuration storage and component field editors do
+    know how to handle template.visible and template.value already, in addition

+================================================================================
+Added an experimental tool (bitmap2component) to create logos from .bmp bitmaps. Added Potrace library to convert bitmaps to polygons
+    This tool uses potarce library that converts a bitmap picture (.bmp or .pgm format) to a set of polygons.
+    bitmap2component converts a bitmap to a .emp footprint (that can be imported by modedit) or a .lib component that can be
+    imported by libedit.
+    Note: imported bitmaps logos are vectored by potrace, so there is no pixelation effect.
+    Scale is 1:1 for 300ppi pictures.
+    bitmap2component currently runs only is command line mode
+    run
+        bitmap2component bitmapfile.bmp bitmapfile.lib 1 to create a schematic component logo
+        (import this file using libedit)
+        or
