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
Also removes the plot-fp-refs, plot-fp-values and
plot fp-text overrides from the GUI, but leaves
them as job arguments.
(Note that the job arguments also separate out
sketching DNP graphics and plotting the 'X', which
the GUI does not.)
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/18056
Also fixes some bugs with property exposure that (along with
other things) allowed you to put table cells on a different
layer than their parent table.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/17438
Don't open-code knockout text shape generation in several different
places.
Make sure triangulated knockout text gets clearance added when
specified.
Collapse duplicated footprint text item plot routine (they're no
longer any different from plotting pcb text items).
* Add compare method to COLOR4D object.
* Add unit test to validate COLOR4D comparison method.
* Add missing color test in text attribute comparison method.
* Add unit test for text attribute object.
* Remove unnecessary headers from text attribute header.
* Move text attribute code into separate source file.
CHANGED: The text variable ${SHEETNAME} now always represents the name of the
sheet when used anywhere in the schematic editor, including the title block
ADDED: A new text variable ${SHEETPATH} which is replaced with the path to the
current sheet - e.g. "/Sheet 1/Sheet 2".
To ensure backward compatibility, the default drawing sheet now uses
${SHEETPATH}. Custom drawing sheets will need to be manually edited.
We only need one bottom to top layer sequence definition.
Plot a sequence of layer IDs (LSEQ) in the order of the sequence.
Add helper method to layer set (LSET) to create a sequence of layer IDs
using another sequence for ordering.
1) Don't plot all footprint texts for each footprint graphic item.
2) Enforce min web thickness around board shapes and board text.
3) Enforce min web thickness around footprint shapes
4) Correctly handle multi-layer zones.
(1) and (4) will get cherry-picked back to 6.0, so after rebasing
won't actually appear in this changelist anymore....
CHANGED: Settings are now stored in versioned sub-directories
ADDED: First-run dialog for migrating settings from a previous version
CHANGED: Settings are now stored as JSON files instead of wxConfig-style INI files
CHANGED: Color settings are now all stored in a separate settings file
CHANGED: The symbol editor and footprint editor now have their own settings files
CHANGED: Color settings are no longer exposed through BOARD object
CHANGED: Page layout editor now uses Eeschema's color scheme
Settings are now managed through a central SETTINGS_MANAGER held by PGM_BASE.
Existing settings will be migrated from the wxConfig format on first run of each application.
Per-application settings are now stored in one class for each application.
