Add a OnQuit for the gerber frame. +Change item->SetBitmap( item ) to use macro SET_BITMAP for menu items. + +2011-Apr-4, UPDATE Jerry Jacobs <xor.gate.engineering@gmail.com> +================================================================================ +More native OSX changes, this removes some WXMAC defines replaced by wxID +macros. These are handled by wxWidgets itself and reduces in-app platform +defines. More work needs to be done for CvPCB and Gerbview. + +All: + Hotkey names in menu's all have tabs, this looks more uniform and pretty. + +EESschema & PCBNew: + Fix about and preferences wxMenu to be more native (remove unneeded WXMAC ) + Disable all icons in wxMenu on OSX with macro SETBITMAPS + +jp charras: + SETBITMAPS is incorrectly used here. change to SET_BITMAP + +2011-Mar-25 UPDATE Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@verizon.net> +================================================================================ + EESchema multiple item hit testing and other minor improvements. + + * Add item clarification context menu to EESchema when multiple unresolved + items are found at the current cross hair position. + * Add collector class SCH_COLLECTOR for supporting multiple item hit testing. + * Removed bit wise masked filtering from schematic item hit testing. + * Removed all old hit testing functions and methods scattered about the + EESchema source code. + * Move terminal point test function into SCH_SCREEN object. + * Fixed bug in terminal point test when terminating a bus to a label. + * Define the < operator for sorting schematic items. + * Add area calculation method to EDA_Rect item. + * Add method for returning an item's bitmap for menu display purposes. + * Add method for returning an item's menu text for menu display purposes. + * Changed EDA_ITEMS container from boost::ptr_vector to std::vector. + * Factor coordinate string conversion code from EDA_DRAW_FRAME to function CoordinateToString(). + +2011-Mar-16, UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@gipsa-lab.inpg.fr> +================================================================================ +Gerbview: + Added: read Excellon files created by Pcbnew. + The full Excellon command set is not supported, but drill files created by Pcbnew are supported. + +2011-Feb-05, UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@gipsa-lab.inpg.fr> +================================================================================ +CvPcb: + Code cleanup.

We can switch to + them at any time. I am using them now for specctra conversions and + elsewhere where I wanted gauranteed UTF8 encoding. + * added OUTPUTFORMATTER::Quoted( const wxString& ) to simplify converting + to UTF8 encoded s-expression atoms. The recommended technique is now simply: + out->Quoted( wxString ).c_str() + +2011-Jan-30 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com> +================================================================================ +++all: + * DSNLEXER::NextTok() now uses two separate modes to parse quoted strings. + This gives us the freedom to control our own destiny separate from the + constraints put on us by the Specctra DSN spec. + * Added Documentation/s-expressions.txt to explain all this. + * Enhanced our quoting protocol by moving away from doubling up double quotes + to a C like escape mechanism. + * Now support multi-line strings, which when properly escaped, can still be + read in as a token originating on a single line. + +2011-Jan-21 UPDATE Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@verizon.net> +================================================================================ + EESchema code refactoring and coding policy naming fixes. + + * Move schematic wire and bus break code into schematic screen object. + * Move schematic test for dangling ends into schematic screen object. + * Remove left over debugging output in schematic screen object. + * Remove unused file eeschema/cleanup.cpp. + * Fix bug in schematic line object hit test algorithm. + * Fix a string concatenation compile error added in r2752. + * Rename class WinEDA_BasicFrame to EDA_BASE_FRAME. + * Rename class WinEDA_DrawFrame to EDA_DRAW_FRAME. + * Rename class WinEDA_DrawPanel to EDA_DRAW_PANEL. + +2011-Jan-19 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com> +================================================================================ +++all: + * TokenList2DsnLexer.cmake now supports comments, which start with a leading + # character, and may be either on their own line or on a line after a token. + * DSNLEXER::PopReader() now pops even the last LINE_READER* and returns it. +++pcbnew: + * SPECCTRA_DB now inherits from new class SPECCTRA_LEXER, which led to a great + deal of simplification and code factoring. + * Moved specctra keywords into specctra.keywords. + +2011-Jan-17 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com> +================================================================================ +++all: + * TokenList2DsnLexer.cmake now wraps each token enum in its own namespace. It + also no longer setup of the "using" directive in the header file, which was + bad behavior. C++ enum values will have name collisions unless the enums + themselves are different namespaces. +++new: + * Sweet library is now a DSO/DLL. + * Brought in SWIG to do a wrap of the Sweet DSO/DLL for unit testing + and scripting. The SWIG DSO/DLLs are built separate from the Sweet DSO/DLL + and are also optional. + +2011-Jan-1 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com> +================================================================================ +++new: + * Added the basic structure to the Sweet parser in sch_part.cpp. + * Got inheritence working off of the 'extends' keyword and PART::inherit() + * Tossed the units support out of sweet.keywords, since we agreed to go dimensionless. +++richio: + * Added the problemInputLine support to PARSE_ERROR, so UI can show the + offending line of bytes. Yes bytes, not even guaranteed to be characters. + + |
