Recommendation is to avoid using the year nomenclature as this
information is already encoded in the git repo. Avoids needing to
repeatly update.
Also updates AUTHORS.txt from current repo with contributor names
Previously, these checks injected a custom handler to add graphic
objects to a DRC marker. This was not thread-safe and was causing
non-deterministic crashes. The DRC reporting methods now accept
a customer handler which is called on the newly created
PCB_MARKER within the commit context. This defaults to nullptr
for DRC checks which do not require graphics or other additional
processing.

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

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

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
non-standard coding practices
QR codes allow 4 different levels of error correction. By increasing the level, larger numbers of data bytes can be corrupted without invalidating the code
This one for symbol <-> footprint. (Original was for
lib footprint <-> board footprint.)
Also fixes a major bug in DRC where we bail out of parity
checking if DRCE_MISSING_FOOTPRINT is set to ignore (or
overflows).
