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
Gerbview did not handle redefinition of variable like $3 = $3 / 2
This redefinition is sometimes found in Gerber files.
This is a long standing issue now fixed.
Fixes#7222https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7222
To avoid issues with broken Gerber readers use aperture macros with shapes
without rotation when more than one primitive is required.
In many gerber readers, rotation of a set of primitives is broken
(do not follow Gerber requirements)
The use of printf, wxLogDebug, and std::err/std::out causes excessive
debugging output which makes finding specific debugging messages more
difficult than it needs to be.
There is still some debugging output in test code that really needs to
be moved into a unit test.
Add debugging output section to the coding policy regarding debugging
output.
