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.

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.

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.
