These would be: + 1) boost pointer container library (immediately) + http://www.boost.org/libs/ptr_container/doc/ptr_container.html + See the work in specctra.cpp to see where this is going: + typedef boost::ptr_vector<ELEM> ELEM_ARRAY found within class PARENT. + I found that gcc 4.2.1 was complaining about the standard ubuntu libboost-dev + package and would not compile ptr_vector class.

That is not intended, but + after several attempts to work around it, I realized it is not so bad to + have this happen. + * Added right click popup menus to the list boxes. User must first select + the item he wants to go to, as the right click does not change the selection. + * Added WinEDA_BasePcbFrame::CursorGoto( const wxPoint& ) by factoring it + out of pcbnew/find.cpp + Done now, its ready for folks to start using it and testing it. + + +2007-Dec-02 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr> +================================================================================ ++eeschema: + Solved an annotation problem: in multiple parts per package components, + when sorted by position, parts were not grouped by package. + + +2007-Dec-2 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com> +================================================================================ ++pcbnew + drc.cpp and dialog_drc.cpp intermediate update. + + +2007-Nov-30 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com> +================================================================================ ++pcbnew + * added virtual GetPosition() to BOARD_ITEM and derivatives. + * added classes DRC, REPORT_ISSUE, DRC_ITEM and rearranged drc.cpp entirely + to comprize the DRC class. The result has finer granularity of functions + and each is fairly well documented in English, see drc_stuff.h. + Keeping old stuff commented out at bottom of drc.cpp until some more usage + and testing is done. + * Made the DRC dialog modeless, so it can sit off to the side while the MARKER + are inspected one by one. + + +2007-Nov-29 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr> +================================================================================ ++pcbnew: + Removed a bug (function block() ) which crashes pcbnew when erasing a zone by block delete + + +2007-Nov-27 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com> +================================================================================ ++pcbnew + * changed class MARQUEUR to class MARKER name only. + * Moved BOARD's MARKERs from m_Drawings to vector<MARKER*> m_markers so + they can be easily deleted and navigated to from the drc dialog. + * deprecated the MARKER::Unlink() function. + * Added + BOARD::Add( BOARD_ITEM*, int ) + BOARD::GetMARKER(int) + BOARD::Delete( BOARD_ITEM* ) + BOARD::DeleteMARKERs(); + * Changed BOARD::~BOARD() to use DeleteMARKERs(). + * Revised screen drawing routine to know about BOARD::m_markers. + * Revised BOARD::Visit() to know about BOARD::m_markers. + * Revised pcbnew/find.cpp to know about BOARD::m_markers. + * removed wxYield() from drc.cpp + + +2007-Nov-26 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com> +================================================================================ ++pcbnew + DRC code and dialog rework start.

Each + of those dialogs now includes a wxStdDialogButtonSizer and a "Cancel" button, + (so each of those dialogs can now (otherwise) be cancelled by pressing the + "Esc" key), and is also now designed to be expandable. + + +2007-Nov-11 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com> +================================================================================ ++ pcbnew + Fixed modedit.cpp bug which occurred when selecting a non pad item (such + as a text field) in the module editor, then selecting Dimensions -> Pad Settings + in the module editor. + + +2007-Nov-11 UPDATE Geoff Harland <gharlandau@yahoo.com.au> +================================================================================ ++ eeschema & pcbnew & gerbview + * The "Colors" dialog box has been enhanced; the distance between adjacent + controls now increases (and in both horizontal and vertical directions) + when that dialog is resized. And the "Cancel" button is no longer centre- + justified; it is now right-justifed instead. ++ eeschema + * A wxStdDialogButtonSizer is now used within the "EESchema Colors" dialog box, + meaning that the sequence of the "OK", "Cancel", and "Apply" buttons within + that dialog now depends upon which (OS) version of KiCad is being used (and + thus matching the nature of the corresponding dialogs within Pcbnew and GerbView + in that regard). (As of yet, the vertical distance between adjacent controls + does not increase when this dialog is resized, but that aspect will also be + implemented when time permits.) ++ gerbview + * The "GerbView Layer Colors:" dialog box has been updated, and is now similar + in nature to the corresponding dialogs within EESchema and Pcbnew. Tool tips + have also been provided for the "Show All" and "Show None" buttons. + + +2007-Nov-10 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr> +================================================================================ ++eeschema: + More comprehensive dialog in netlist plugin interface. + Eeschema configuration now shows the plugin netlist list + + +2007-Nov-09 UPDATE Geoff Harland <gharlandau@yahoo.com.au> +================================================================================ ++ 3d-viewer + * The 3d_canvas.cpp file has been updated to use a const parameter, as suggested + within (Bug) Request ID 1828487. ++ pcbnew + * Sizers have now been provided for the "Pcbnew Layer Colors:" dialog box (previously + identified as the "Colors:" dialog box), and tool tips have been provided for the + "Show All" and "Show None" buttons. + * The reglage.cpp file (which is not currently used) has been removed, and replaced + with reglage.cpp.notused. + + +2007-Nov-02 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr> +================================================================================ ++ all + removed not used files + + +2007-Nov-07 UPDATE Geoff Harland <gharlandau@yahoo.com.au> +================================================================================ ++ all + * The common/svg_print.cpp, common/svg_print.h, and common/svg_print.pjd files (which + are not currently used) have been removed, and replaced with svg_print.cpp.notused, + svg_print.h.notused, and svg_print.pjd.notused. And common/makefile.include has + also been updated so that none of those files are now listed at all. ++ eeschema + * A "Cancel" button has now been provided within each of the "Component properties", + "EESchema Annotation", "EESchema Erc", "Global Label properties", "Label properties", + and "Text properties" dialog boxes, and each of those dialogs can now (otherwise) be + cancelled by pressing the "Esc" key. (In due course, each of those dialogs will be + refined yet further; this is just an incremental enhancement.) + * The eestatus.cpp file (which is not currently used) has been removed, and replaced + with eestatus.cpp.notused. + + +2007-Nov-05 UPDATE Geoff Harland <gharlandau@yahoo.com.au> +================================================================================ ++ eeschema + * The previously provided "Close" button within the "Netlist" dialog box has + now been replaced with a "Cancel" button, and this dialog can now (otherwise) + be cancelled by pressing the "Esc" key. General cleanup and beautification of + eeschema/netlist_control.cpp. ++ pcbnew + * The color of each text string provided within the "Swap Layers:" dialog box is + now set to blue for each string specifying that the associated layer is *not* + being swapped with any other layer, or to fushia for each string specifying that + the associated layer *is* being swapped with another layer. (This change was + made after being suggested by Dick Hollenbeck.) ++ gerbview + * The color of each text string provided within the "Layer selection" dialog box + is similarly now set to blue for each string specifying that the associated + Gerber layer is *not* being exported to any pcbnew layer, or to fushia for each + string specifying that the associated Gerber layer *is* being exported to a + pcbnew layer. + + +2007-Nov-2 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com> +================================================================================ ++ pcbnew + fixed a crashing bug which happened if you "dragged" a module with + tracks. Then deleted one of the pad connected tracks, then deleted the + next track attached to the first one. Memory was being corrupted because + PcbGeneralLocate() and display was not being called on the 2nd track to + be deleted because the m_Flags test: + bool ItemFree = (GetCurItem()==0 || GetCurItem()->m_Flags==0); + was returning false. Solution was to SetCurItem(NULL) after deleting a + TRACK. This makes sense, SetCurItem() is used for designating a "selected" + item, and a deleted TRACK is not even in the BOARD anymore and should not + be selected or selectable. I think this bug may have been causing spurious + crashes for the last couple of months. + + +2007-Nov-02 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr> +================================================================================ ++all: + solved: eeschema, pcbnew and cvpcb did not find libraries when they were + in the default library path, but in a subdirectory + (this is because the default path was not added to the name if the name had + already a path) + + +2007-Nov-02 UPDATE Geoff Harland <gharlandau@yahoo.com.au> +================================================================================ ++ pcbnew + * Sizers have now been provided for the "Swap Layers:" dialog box, and the + previously provided radiobuttons have been replaced with buttons and static + text strings. (In the previous version of this dialog, radiobuttons were being + used in an inappropriate manner. The most "orthodox" way of implementing the + functionality within this dialog would be to provide a combobox for each layer, + but as up to 30 strings would be needed within the dropdown list associated with + each of those controls (one string for each of the layers, and another string to + deselect the layer), such controls would be less than user-friendly. Hence a + button is now provided for each layer instead (and which, like the previously + provided radiobutton, invokes the "Select Layer:" dialog box after being clicked + on). Two static text strings are also provided for each layer, with one of them + being used to identify that layer, and the other being used to identify which + layer that each layer is currently being swapped to.) The previously provided + "Select" and "Deselect" buttons are no longer required, and are thus no longer + provided. ++ gerbview + * The "Layer selection" dialog box (invoked during the "Export to Pcbnew" command) + has similarly been updated. (This dialog did use spacers before, but once again, + the previously provided radiobuttons were being used in an inappropriate manner.) + + +2007-Nov-01 UPDATE Geoff Harland <gharlandau@yahoo.com.au> +================================================================================ ++ pcbnew + * Provided new definitions of FIRST_COPPER_LAYER and LAST_COPPER_LAYER within + include/pcbstruct.h, and used those definitions within various other files. + Beautified and generally refined 3d-viewer/3d_draw.cpp and pcbnew/plotgerb.cpp. + + +2007-Oct-31 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr> +================================================================================ ++kicad: + rename mdiframe.cpp to mainframe.cpp + create commandframe.cpp to handle the command frame (which have the 4 "fast launch" buttons) + + +2007-Oct-31 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com> +================================================================================ ++ all + * Added Doxygen configuration file, whose standard name is Doxyfile. Output + is set to go to ./doxygen directory just off the project tree. + * Added a note to todo.txt which asks folks to start using "Doxygen compatible" + comments in member functions and classes. Run Doxygen on the project, then + look at the documentation for class INSPECTOR as an example. ++ pcbnew + * zones.cpp, Trace_Pcb(), & EDGE_ZONE class: + Reversed the usage of EDGE_ZONE::Pnext and Pback in the list management to be + consistent with other classes and with BOARD_ITEM::IterateForward() and + BOARD::~BOARD(). + * Fixed a display bug when high contrast mode is enabled and the track tool + is selected. + + +2007-Oct-31 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr> +================================================================================ ++all: + gcc 4.2.1 compatibility: change char * to const char * whenever it was necessary, + mainly in .xpm files + + +2007-Oct-30 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com> +================================================================================ ++ pcbnew + added BOARD_ITEM::Save() and to all derived classes as well. Made virtual + and removed all UI code from these utility functions. + removed WriteDesc() functions from all BOARD_ITEM derived classes, although + Keeping old ones in commented out form for a while for reference. + @todo: delete these from *.cpp files eventually. + zones.cpp, clean up in prep for enhancements. ++ gerbview + fixed bug which came about when BOARD::~BOARD() started deleting the objects + that a BOARD owns. export_to_pcbnew.cpp was not consistent with this + design and was crashing. Also, export_to_pcbnew.cpp now uses the simple + BOARD::Save() function. It was another place to maintain the PCB file format, + rather than simply putting that knowledge into one place like BOARD::Save(). ++ all + beautified gr_basic.cpp and made CLIP_LINE macro a static inline function. + + +2007-Oct-30 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr> +================================================================================ ++cvpcb: listboxes.cpp problem solved: exists only under windows + now apply to windows only, because this Workaround creates a problem undex linux ++others: + some very minor problems solved ++eeschema: + in B.O.M.: the footprint field can be added to the field list + + +2007-Oct-29 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr> +================================================================================ ++cvpcb: listboxes.cpp problem solved: Workaround for a curious bug in wxWidgets: + if we switch from a long list of footprints to a short list (a filtered footprint list), + and if the selected item is near the end of the long list, + the new list is not displayed from the top of the list box ++eeschema: + Implemented: graying in/out of "Edit/Undo", "Edit/Redo" menu items, + when Undo/Redo stack is empty/filled. ++pcbnew: + Implemented: action for ID_POPUP_PCB_DELETE_MARKER + + +2007-Oct-27 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr> +================================================================================ ++ all: + remove unused files. + some translations ++cvpcb: + set flag wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT when create the footprint 3D frame and the + display frame + minor other changes ++ pcbnew: + Use collector class to locate items in modedit. + This is a big enhancement, + but a small work for me because Dick made all the work. + + +2007-Oct-26 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr> +================================================================================ ++ pcbnew: + Add class_marker.cpp and class_marker.h and move MARQUEUR functions in class_marker.cpp + Change MARQUEUR::HitTest to take in account the zoom level. + change global var EDA_Appl to g_EDA_Appl + + +2007-Oct-25 UPDATE Geoff Harland <gharlandau@yahoo.com.au> +================================================================================ ++ cvpcb + * Fine-tuned contents of dialog_display_options.cpp, dialog_display_options.h, + and dialog_display_options.pjd, so that the controls within the associated + ("Display Options") dialog box now also expand if that dialog is expanded. ++ all + * The share/selcolor.cpp file (which is no longer used) has been removed, and + replaced with share/selcolor.cpp.notused + + +2007-Oct-24 UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@inpg.fr> +================================================================================ ++ cvpcb: + 2 missing .prj files added (and updated) + dialog_display_option.cpp is rebuild from its dialog_display_option.prj source + + +2007-Oct-23 UPDATE Geoff Harland <gharlandau@yahoo.com.au> +================================================================================ ++ eeschema + * Sizers have now been provided for the "EESchema Preferences" dialog box, + together with "OK", "Cancel", and "Apply" buttons.
