Footprints can now have a custom stackup. This means that they specify
an exact number of copper layers and the layers map 1:1 to board layers.
If the board doesn't contain that layer, the element just doesn't
show. We could make this a DRC check later on.
If there is no stackup, the behavior is the current default: a rule area
the In1 layer "expands" to all Inner layers.
Fixes: https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/10838
A placement-area is a rule-area sub-type. We don't
need to say rule-area-placement each time.
Also removes some dead code, and simplifies some
damage-propagation logic.
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
- Implements component classes for placement rule areas and multichannel tool
- Implements property inspector properties for rule areas
- Fixes some zone member default initialisation issues
- Gates all multichannel-related imlpementation with existing adv config flag
- Removes rule area type enum, replaces with inference from keepout and
placement settings
- RuleAreaType: distinction between Keepout and Placement rule areas
- RuleAreaExpression: custom DRC language expression for assigning components for Placement rules
Previously new zones' priorities were all set to 0. This is almost
always wrong and can lead to unintended conflicts. The new zone default
value is now set to one higher than the largest number on the board.
This is a better default value because it will not conflict with
existing values.
- do not allow smoothing outlines: outlines are already optimized.
- do not allow settings incompatible with teardrop area (grid, thermal relief)
- DIALOG_COPPER_ZONE: export zone settings to similar zones only.
Fixes#11040https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/11040
ADDED zone_connection constraint.
ADDED thermal_relief_gap and thermal_spoke_width constraints.
ADDED angle override for thermal relief spokes in Pad Properties.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/4067
These objects can now be used in advanced DRC rules and
not just for keeping things out. Also remove the restriction
that at least one of the "basic" keepout rules must be set,
so that these areas can be used for more advanced rules.
Also fixes a bunch of naming issues, primarily with lowercase for
protected variables, but also some for consistency with other parts
of the code.
Also changes the zone fill radio buttons in Board Setup to be more
generic referring to legacy vs. current, and to have tooltips.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5583
Various architecture upgrades to support this.
Creating a BOARD now requires a valid PROJECT, which caused
some (mostly transparent) changes to the Python API internals.
ADDED: Project local settings file
CHANGED: Board design settings are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Net classes are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Importing board settings now reads boards, not just projects

Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/4070
- Fix non optimal shape of solid polygons after inflate transform.
- Add a small extra clearance ((2 microns) when creating clearance areas
(especially, convert arc to polygons create small differences)
- Add a small threshold (1 micron) in drc test distances to avoid false positives
- fix a minor issue in TransformOvalToPolygon that created sometimes a not perfect shape
Fixes#3812https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/3812
Give the user the option of cancelling a file open if there are
segment zones; otherwise they're converted to polygon fills.

the filled areas can use a hatch pattern (crossing lines) using square holes.
The zone filler removes too small holes (truncated holes) from hatch pattern.
It avoid to create small holes when a hole pattern is truncated by the filled area base shape.
We no longer require this as we calculate the number of segments based
on the maximum deviation rather than fixed numbers.
Fixes: lp:1780518
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1780518
Also includes a bunch of changes to simplifiy the terminology
and unify the copper, non-copper and keepout versions.
Also removes some legacy features:
Removes contol for fill method. If the fill method is currently
segments the dialog will ask if you want to convert to polygons
on OK.
Removes control of boundary resolution. We've done this with trig
since 5.0.
