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
Adds the initial implementation of bezier overlay
(assistant) and geometry manager. This is only
implemented in Pcbnew - the code is common, but
eeschema doesn't currently use it for any shape.
Relates-To: https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/8828
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.

Also fixes grammar and capitalisation in a few tooltips.
Also standardises some terminology, such as
"Add" vs "Draw"/"Place" and "Assignment" vs "Association".

- Option to export pads separately from tracks+vias
- Options export silkscreen and soldermask as flat faces
- Improve 3D model export dialog layout
- Use VisMaterialTool to specify metallic-roughness for glTF.
- Less OCCT boolean operations (faster, less bugs)

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.

- move place dimensions to a sub menu (they are not frequently used, and it
reduce the size of the place menu
- add reset drill origin, similar to reset grid origin.
Change teardrop generation to rely more heavily on BOARD_CONNECTIVITY
for improved performance.
Add updating of teardrops on BOARD_COMMIT::Push().
Also converts m_CopperItemRTreeCache to std::shared_ptr.
We don't copy it around anyway, and having to create a new set
of std::unique_ptr's for each operation is likely to be more
expensive than std::shared_ptr's overhead.
