Makes it harder to enter and harder to exit a snap. ideally this should
help make snapping more intuitive and easier to use. Once you have a
snap, it is harder to lose it but it avoids being overly snappy in the
begining
We don't use wxWidget DPI (which is the screen DPI) for our on-screen
display. Instead, we use 91 (?!?). Make this configurable in advanced
config and use the set value in our scaling widget
How you ask? Plot first -> then read the PDF and print directly to the
platform-specific printers. Roundabout? Yes. Better than wx printing?
Darnbetcha.
Also allows multi-size page printing and proper margins and print
preview

If you set the env var KICAD_EDIT_ADVANCED_CFG=1, you get a new menu
option in the KiCad project window's Edit menu. Lets you modify the
settings for advanced config graphically without having to
remember/lookup the magic incantation
WALKAROUND::singlestep is used by both shove and walkaround modes and
can bog down when applied to clusters with many objects. In these
cases, we are unlikely to find a viable solution and it is beter to
allow the user to find a different ending position

Move most of the update firing to the file system watcher (except for
windows network shares that still need timed updated). Gate the repo
status for sync

Push the git checks from the main thread into child threads to prevent
resource contention in some cases where Windows machines might have many
files in git that are _also_ being managed by Google Drive

The big grey X and dimming the component made it look like the component
was no longer a part of the circuit, rather than just being excluded for
a single purpose.
The changes the display to make a more subtle grey outline with an icon
in the corner to indicate that this refers to simulation.
Previously, if multiple error markers were placed at the same location,
the selected marker was not visually differentiated from the unselected
ones, even if one was at the top of the stack. To fix this, Need to pass
overlapping markers to the FocusOnItems() function instead of calling
FocusOnItem() with only the selected marker.

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
The Cairo printing system is already used to print to printer, it can be
now used to print to clipboard and fixes the issue with opacity < 1.
However to use it in clipboard, the advanced config needs to set the new
EnableEeschemaExportClipboardCairo = 1 (for now)
The default is false.
When two arcs only barely overlapped, we cannot predict the actual point
ends as they exist in the error margins. Since arc tracks have
different radii by definition, rounding errors in calculating the
overlap angle led to some mistaken identification of parallel segments.
This adds an advanced config flag to set the preferred cutoff point
(currently 0.001°) for whether two arcs actually overlap in shared angle
space
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.
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.

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.
