Sometimes, you don't want those 45° corners in your nice, clean zones.
This adds an additional mode that can be selected, cycling through
free-angle, 45° angle and 90° angle constraints
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
To represent KiCad's internal units (1 nm), it's enough to have:
- 6 decimal digits in mm;
- 8 decimal digits in inches.
There's not much point in reducing the precision.
Up to 10 digits allowed just in case.
Also changes precision to 6 decimal digits by default.
Having Gerber Plot outputs in mm and drill outputs in inches was
causing tiny misalignments. This change switches Excellon output
units to mm by default.
While it's still session-limited, this means you don't have
to restart to get your locking ability back.
Finer-grained locking enablement probably makes better long-term
sense, but this at least prevents "gun shyness" about a setting
you can't turn off again easily.
Also it gets a bool's-worth of application configuration state
out of a dialog (it was a static).
There was a gentle mish-mash of booleans, some with
true being left/right and some up/down, and some functions that
can flip in both axes (which is never actually done, and doesn't
really make geometric sense).
Replace all this with the FLIP_DIRECTION enum class, which makes
the intention completely unambiguous.
This also then allows a small scattering of simplifications,
because everything takes the same type and you don't have to
fiddle booleans to fit.
Introduces some updates to the inspector, and a number of bug fixes:
- Correctly handles changes in board stackup
- Correctly handles unit change events
- Correctly handles language change events
- All layout / panel settings are stored to the project settings
- Retains ability to create net report
- Simple filter searches on net name and net class name (stored in settings)
- Allows hide / show of columns (stored in settings)
- Grouping by netclass (stored in settings)
- Optional filtering by net name (stored in settings)
- Optional filtering by net class (stored in settings)
- Custom grouping by net name match
IPC2581 is a modern production file exchange system. It provides
single-file data output for an entire board including BOM and netlist
information.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/1954
- fix regression: allow grouping or not imported items
- store more settings in Pcbnew settings: all options are now stored.
- default tolerance to connect items is now 0.01 mm. 1 mm is a too big value,
and can create serious artifacts in imported outlines.
Moves apply defaults settings to Board Setup (where they were
duplicated anyway due to an earlier botched merge).
Modifies the apply-to-graphics algorithm to skip copper shapes.
Modifies DRC library check to skip STROKE_PARAMS for non-copper
shapes.
