CHANGED: PCB file format now supports saving/loading complex padstacks
CHANGED: PTH pads are now rendered per copper layer in the copper color;
the PTH pad color is no longer used.
ADDED: support for importing complex pad stacks from Altium PCBs
Enforce padstack-aware access to pad properties across KiCad

- Adds Component Class field to SCH_DIRECTIVE_LABEL
- Adds SCH_SYMBOLs to SCH_RULE_AREA item lists
- SCH_SYMBOLs resolve Component Class directives
- Netlist exporter / importer handles Component Class names
- Adds DRC expressions and functions
- Adds QA check for component class netlist export
This makes it easier to control what snap points you are aiming for
without accidentally activating objects just by mousing near them
on the way to somewhere else.
Break the non-PCB-specfic parts of PCB_REFERENCE_IMAGE out
to a common REFERENCE_IMAGE class, which is then composed into
the PCB_REFERENCE_IMAGE. This will make it easier to bring the
transform origin logic to eeschema without repetition.
PCB_SHAPE::Normalize() normalized a graphic segment by (sometimes) swapping
start and end points. But it creates an issue when flipping a segment: the
reference point can be changed.
This normalization was made for DRC purpose when comparing 2 footprints.
Now, PCB_SHAPE::Normalize() does not change end points of a segment, and a
specific PCB_SHAPE::NormalizeForCompare() normalize fct is used for DRC compare.
There was a gentle mish-mash of booleans, some with
true being left/right and some up/down, and some functions that
can flip in both axes (which is never actually done, and doesn't
really make geometric sense).
Replace all this with the FLIP_DIRECTION enum class, which makes
the intention completely unambiguous.
This also then allows a small scattering of simplifications,
because everything takes the same type and you don't have to
fiddle booleans to fit.
Adds the initial implementation of bezier overlay
(assistant) and geometry manager. This is only
implemented in Pcbnew - the code is common, but
eeschema doesn't currently use it for any shape.

Some shapes, like arcs and beziers have "lines" that
can be useful to see when editing, but aren't directly
editable and may not overlap the object's own lines.
So make it possible to, indepedently:
- Turn off the centre-point drag handle affordance
- Show the actual line segment on screen.
This is useful if you want to give some preset options
to a user (e.g. recently used value) but stil have them
controlled and presented using the UNIT_BINDER logic.
Mostly intended right now for allowing testing of library tables
to help with testing chained loading, but it also decouples the
idea of a library table from on-disk files in general.
All current (real) lib table implementations continue to use the
file-based IO.
This could be made more general (not just for tables) if really
needed.
Probably this should be replaced with a less error-prone
approach. Right now the LSET -> BASE_SET system is risky
because it is converting a signed enum (PCB_LAYER_ID) to
a size_t in all the underlying operations.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/18738
Before we edited the grid settings directly so cancel would keep your
changes.
Also includes numerous QoL improvements borrowed from Ian's patch,
and a few other small fixes.
This makes it clearer that it is a polyfill-type affair
and make it easier to swap for the std:: one when the
compiler support is guaranteed.
Also avoid double underscores in parameter names,
as well as underscore-capital latter as they are reserved.
ADDED: Add support in Pcbnew for exporting ODB++ files under Fabrication
Outputs, base on ODB++Design Format Specification (Release v8.1
Update 3 February 2021).
Note: There is still a lot of work to do if we will make the feature as
complete as the ODB++ spec. However, the current functionality's
completeness is already sufficient to cover general production
scenarios. I have compared the output results with Gerber files by
DFM tool and the accuracy at the graphic level should be able to
cover most usage scenarios. Additionally, I am very grateful to
the great open-source project Horizon EDA for giving me a lot of
inspiration in terms of ideas.
The feature can be enabled by adding "EnableODB=1" to the kicad_advanced
configuration file.

- Fix incorrect values of displayed layers of blind/buried vias
- Fix possible incorrect layer order in PCB_VIA::SanitizeLayers()
- fix some display issues in 3D viewer.
- fix issue in LAYER_RANGE::Contains(): sometimes the test was incorrect.
When working near snap anchors, which come and go
rapidly, it's often useful to see what snaps have been
calculated. Add an advanced config to show these
(EnableSnapAnchorsDebug) on an overlay layer.
With more polish this could be a hotkey or something.
This is a pretty major rework of the snapping system.
The GRID_HELPERs now have a separate CONSTRUCTION_MANAGER
which handles some of the state involving "construction
geometry".
This is fed with 'extended' geometry (e.g. "infinite" lines from
segments) for use in generating things like intersection points.
It also handles adding this geoemtry to a GAL view item
(CONSTRUCTION_GEOM) for display to the user.
The process is:
* A TOOL creates a GRID_HELPER
* Optionally, it pre-loads a "persistent" batch of construction
geometry (e.g. for an item's original position)
* The grid helper finds useful snap 'anchors' as before, including
those involving the construction items.
* Other items on the board can be 'activated' by snapping to one
of their main points. Then, if it has construction geometry,
it will be added to the display. At most 2 items of this kind of
geometry are shown, plus the original item, to reduce avoid
too much clutter.
The dashed snap lines state machine is also handled in the
CONSTRUCTION_MANAGER and displayed in the CONSTRUCTION_GEOM item.
F_Cu = 0
B_Cu = 2
Remaining internal copper layers are even and incrementing
Non-copper layers are odd and incrementing.
This means that we can no longer do things like:
for( PCB_LAYER_ID layer = F_Cu; layer <= B_Cu; ++layer)
Instead, we have the class LAYER_RANGE:
for( PCB_LAYER_ID layer : LAYER_RANGE( F_Cu, B_Cu) )
Similarly, gt/lt tests should not refer to the integer value of the
layer. We have functions such as IsCopperLayer to test whether a layer
is copper or not.
When using the connectivity RTree, the third dimension is layer, so we
provide B_Cu with the special INT_MAX value, ensuring that elements
between F_Cu and B_Cu will be identified. There is a new, special
function GetBoardLayer() for interfacing with CN_ITEMS
Similarly, PNS layers remain unchanged and sequential. A set of
interface functions is provided to map PNS layers to Board layers and
back. This allows the PNS_LAYER_RANGE to function as expected
SHA256 is fine for one-offs but for large libraries where we might be
running the hash on hundreds of files, the speed difference is
appreciable. We don't require crytographic hashing, just a check that
the original file hasn't been corrupted so Murmur3 satisfies our basic
requirement.
Adds REPORTER::HasMessageOfSeverity for WX_STRING_REPORTER,
which allows us to show simulation warnings and fail only if there's errors.
Also fixes a crash when SPICE_GENERATOR_KIBIS throws an IO_ERROR.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/18143
When the italic or bold nature is changed, text using outline fonts may
need to change its font. Add this to the SetItalic/SetBold functions.
Also add a counterpart SetItalicFlag function (following SetBoldFlag)
when you only need to set the flag (e.g. when importing or changing
everything in the text properties dialog).
Fixes: https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/18592
This allows to see what the current snap point is, which is useful when
zoomed in, or the point is like the corner of a rounded pad where it's
"in free space" and might not be immediately obvious.
First, ensure that we calculate the bbox of the imported elements.
If the total BBOX is outside our allowed value, refused to import. This
needs to be scaled or addressed in an external editor
If the bbox fits, then make sure that we clamp it such that the largest
element is still within our bounds
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/18523
TOOL_MENU::m_menu was unconditionally created by the TOOL_INTERACTIVE constructor, resulting in crashes if
we wanted to run the TOOLs in headless mode, e.g. in unit tests. This commits makes
the creation of the menu object dependent on Pgm::IsGui().
The separates it from the LAYER_SELECTOR class - deciding
what color a layer is (say) is separate to managing the
actual selection of the layer. For example, sel_layer.cpp
only needs the presentation logic. This also makes it eaiser
to compose rather than inherit.
Additonally, break out the layer pair swatch function
to this class.
This will also be needed by the layer pair manager UI.

This moves a fiddly little bit of logic used by a few UI
classes into a central location.
Also means that the paths dialog learns to expand the
first cell when it needs to (like the text variable
panel).
Schematics, symbols, boards and footprints all get the ability to store
files inside their file structures. File lookups now have a
kicad-embed:// URI to allow various parts of KiCad to refer to files
stored in this manner.
kicad-embed://datasheet.pdf references the file named "datasheet.pdf"
embedded in the document. Embeds are allowed in schematics, boards,
symbols and footprints. Currently supported embeddings are Datasheets,
3D Models and drawingsheets

Previously, they were defined in different files, and sometimes redefined.
This change should not create an actual code change.
However, this move shows there are the same value used for different flags,
so another fix should be made later.
Makes a test backup file and compares to the existing zip file backup to
see if the files have changed since it was made. If so, the new file is

Previously, fills could end up just barely touching, leading to DRC
errors even if there was enough room to fill the remaining space. This
was due to how we shrink/expand the zones to remove small features. By
adding a zero-width line between points that should be connected, we
expand back to the correct width.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/14130
We are derived from std::vector now. We don't need our own prima donna
increment and dereference overload as these just create bloat and

At 10, a strict recursion shows a noticable lag in schematics with
larger numbers of fields. 2 may be a sweet spot unless we find a
schematic where this does not work
Add direct handling of quadratic beziers to save compute time and number
of points. Update cubic interpolation to reduce number of points
generated for a given smoothness
Cache data on open and used cached data to avoid multiple re-calcs
Remove minimum line length and number of segments and replace with
standard max error level. Allows us to specify the tolerance of bezier
interpolation
Change Eagle file importer to use a two pass import. The first pass
parses the entire Eagle file into an associated E* object. The second
pass converts the parsed E* objects into the appropriate KiCad objects.
Improve handling of Eagle versioned libraries.
Add helpers to IO_BASE to ease handling of PROGRESS_REPORTER and REPORTER
objects.
ADDED: Support for importing Eagle schematic modules.

We now draw onto wxBitmap directly, reducing the amount of copying.
Also moves the bitmap blit into paint event handler.
Modifies ClearScreen to work universally between Cairo/OpenGL backends.
This is primarily to change all instances of wxLogDebug with wxLogTrace
so developers do not have to sift through debugging output that is always
dumped. The only exception is for code blocks built in debug builds and
called on demand for dumping object states.
Library watches only need a single directory or immediate children. The
project watcher should have a sensible limit to the total number of
files it tries to track.

- Fixes early load during NESTED_SETTINGS construction within
SCHEMATIC_SETTINGS, now failing due to missing migrations at that
object construction point
- Adds missing (NOOP) migration for NET_SETTINGS schema versions 1 -> 2
This splits the tool into two separate tools: by center and
by even gaps. Previously, this was automatically decided, based on
if the items could have any gaps between them. This was unintuitive
as it would appear to arrange by centre point sometimes but not others.
When items aren't all the same width, the results can then be very
different, based only on the starting positions.
The new behaviour is to have a dedicated tool for each, which echos
how graphical programs like Inkscape manage this.
The by-gaps method is then extended to work for overlapping items
(when items overlap, the overlaps are made equal). The logic is
centralised in kimath/geometry, and some QA is added. This should
make it easier to extend to eeschema, for example.
This also (attempts to) address some rounding issues which could
cause minor, but compounding, errors to build up along the list
of items.
Also, fix bugs in the collection filtering - previously items
like markers were filtered out only after the selection size
was used to compute the gaps between items.
The "already placed parts" feature causes a situation where many
single-part queries are placed before the cache is even filled.

Ignore bus member connection subgraphs. They do not have a valid net
name nor do they contain schematic items. This prevents empty nodes
from being added to the tree. They can be reintroduced in the future
if someone wants to pursue it.
Freeze the wxTreeCtrl while populating it and thaw when done to prevent
any unnecessary repainting.
Add profiling to test how long it takes to rebuild the net navigator.
The recently added populate the navigator with all nets when no net
is highlighted has exposed some potential performances issues with some
versions of wxWidgets on certain platforms. Namely wxWidgets 3.2.4 on
Linux GTK.
Fix an issue where a sheet name change would not update the highlighted
net navigator resulting in a stale human readable sheet path.
Prevent the highlighted net navigator from being rebuilt twice when
loading a schematic. SCH_EDIT_FRAME::RefreshNetNavigator() was being
called from both SCH_EDIT_FRAME::UpdateHierarchyNavigator() and
SCH_EDIT_FRAME::RecalculateConnectivity().
Add a new trace helper "KICAD_UI_PROFILE" to show trace output when
profiling user interface performance. It's used in the net navigator
profiling mentioned above.
Reuse PROF_TIMER::Show() to generate string for PROF_TIMER::to_string().
C++20 under MSVC does not like seeing enum values between two enums getting operated on.
static cast to int fixes it for what we are trying to do anyway
Refactors `SHAPE_POLY_SET::fractureSingle()` to be more efficient, while
not changing the actual algorithm:
* increase cache locality by using contiguous arrays instead of what was
effectively a linked list
* reduce latency and jitter by replacing per-edge allocator calls with
ahead-of-time std::vector reserves
* increase cache efficiency by making the vertex struct smaller
* replace O(n^2) leftmost edge search with O(n log n) std::sort
* sort the polygons instead of the edges
* cut iteration count in half in the remaining O(polygons * edges) part
Logging is useful when we find an area that cannot be triangulated.
This will be used to generated test cases.
Skipping minor untesselated areas means that the polygon will still be
considered fully tesselated (and not sent back again and again) even if
the tesselation misses an area less than the configured limit.
Currently, this is 31^2nm.
(While at first it may look like any item with the flag set
