Recommendation is to avoid using the year nomenclature as this
information is already encoded in the git repo. Avoids needing to
repeatly update.

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
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/8182
- Fix incorrect values of displayed layers of blind/buried vias
- Fix possible incorrect layer order in PCB_VIA::SanitizeLayers()
- fix some display issues in 3D viewer.
- fix issue in LAYER_RANGE::Contains(): sometimes the test was incorrect.
F_Cu = 0
B_Cu = 2
Remaining internal copper layers are even and incrementing
Non-copper layers are odd and incrementing.
This means that we can no longer do things like:
for( PCB_LAYER_ID layer = F_Cu; layer <= B_Cu; ++layer)
Instead, we have the class LAYER_RANGE:
for( PCB_LAYER_ID layer : LAYER_RANGE( F_Cu, B_Cu) )
Similarly, gt/lt tests should not refer to the integer value of the
layer. We have functions such as IsCopperLayer to test whether a layer
is copper or not.
When using the connectivity RTree, the third dimension is layer, so we
provide B_Cu with the special INT_MAX value, ensuring that elements
between F_Cu and B_Cu will be identified. There is a new, special
function GetBoardLayer() for interfacing with CN_ITEMS
Similarly, PNS layers remain unchanged and sequential. A set of
interface functions is provided to map PNS layers to Board layers and
back. This allows the PNS_LAYER_RANGE to function as expected
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
Avoid issue when a copper layers thickness is 0 (min value is now 1 micrometer)
Fix incorrect rendering of plated graphic items and vias (vertical walls not drawn)
when the box is a polygon (rotated rect by a non cardinal angle) the polygon
is not filled, so the shape is just a set of thick segments.
So we cannot use PCB_TEXTBOX::TransformShapeToPolygon to create the 3D view
Fixes#16072https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/16072
While ERROR_INSIDE was good for plotting, 3D generation, etc., it's
not good for generating router hulls.
Also reverts part of the change to always use polygons for PNS::SOLIDs. A single shape in a SHAPE_COMPOUND will be faster (and
more accurate).
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/14898
Most of these settings are now available in the appearances panel.
It was concluded in a Zulip discussion that any missing items can
be added back in time if people find they need them (ie: complain).
Also hooks up 3DViewer to the common language framework.
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).
