This is a zero-dimensional object that can be used for snapping
and documentation of useful, but non-physical features on a
board or footprint. They do not correspond to any physical
output in exports or plots.
Points do have a "size", but this is a graphical property only
and determines how large they are drawn on the board.
They also have a layer, which allows them to be selected and
made visible according to layer filters.

Footprints can now have a custom stackup. This means that they specify
an exact number of copper layers and the layers map 1:1 to board layers.
If the board doesn't contain that layer, the element just doesn't
show. We could make this a DRC check later on.
If there is no stackup, the behavior is the current default: a rule area
the In1 layer "expands" to all Inner layers.

Skip vias are vias that are flashed on their start and end layers but
have no annular rings on the interior layers and do not connect to zones
in those layers
You can now select Annular ring type "Start and end layers only". This
will prevent annular ring flashing on intermediate layers and zones
fills will provide clearance. You can still connect tracks to
intermediate layers but preventing that will fall to the designer
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/21433
We implemented the intermediate temporary file in order to avoid issues
during save. Unfortunately, this is heavily system-dependent and seems
to cause problems with unusual setups. Now that we cache writing using
the prettifier, the errors during output will not affect the existing
file
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/21330
After forcing the locale-specific read/writes out of our IO, we can
remove the global LOCALE_IO calls in many places.
Still to do: exporters, pcm, specctra, settings, drawing sheets,
plotters
Use only C-locale functions wxString::ToCDouble and fmt::format{}
functions so that we do not need to set the locale for file io
operations
This also introduces a cmake check that looks for certain banned
functions (strtod, strtof and atof) that convert strings into doubles
by the user locale or formatting specifiers like %f/%g that convert
doubles into strings by the users locale. It will prevent compilation
in this case.
For the limited cases where we want to show the user a string in their
locale, we have an override string "format:allow" that can be added to
lines in order to allow them with %f/%g format specifiers
A placement-area is a rule-area sub-type. We don't
need to say rule-area-placement each time.
Also removes some dead code, and simplifies some
damage-propagation logic.
ADDED: description of jumper groups for PCB Footprint
Properties dialog.
Also untangles the internal storage of the DRC exclusion
flags from the fabrication attributes.
Also removes allow-missing-courtyards from PCB footprint
properties because you can't edit the courtyards there
so it makes no sense.
(Which means the library parity checker also doesn't
need to check it as it will always match the library.)
This also removes the GROUP/UNGROUP-specific undo actions.
This also fixes a bunch of undo bugs when duplicating
group members, creating pins, etc.
This also fixes some undo bugs when dividing wires etc.
This also fixes some bugs with new sch items not
being created within an entered group.
In layers block, the file type for User.n was always written as "user" type.
However this type can be set to "front" or "back" by the board settings
dialog (Off-board, front or Off-board, back) and allowed in file.

Also convert hatched fills to solid for solder masks.
Also give track solder masks their specified
expansion when exporting to STEP.
Also implement solder masks for shapes when
exporting to STEP.
They're really just a geometry cache.
Also removes writing of filled_areas_thickness,
which hasn't been supported in yonks.
Also cleans up writing of island removal strategy
(the limit is only needed in limit mode).
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/20717
- Adds time and delay units
- Adds time domain tuning parameters entry and storage
- Adds pad-to-die delay property
- Adds time domain parameter interface for length / delay calculations
- Adds unit tracking for numerical constants through LIBEVAL
- Will need future work to truly propagate through binary expressions
- Adds time domain tuning to meander placers
- Adds time delay display to net inspector panel
- Modifies DRC to handle time domain constraints
Also cleans up a misconception about table header borders,
and renames the getter/setter to be clearer.
Also makes sure that table cells are updated when the table
layer changes.
And another bug where we were writing the grey color value
back to the cell for hidden cells.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/20319
The passed in footprint is a filter, not the current
footprint from the iterator.
Also cleaned up confusion and bad reporting over
temp file usage, and need to const cast for
updating embedded fonts.
Pads should write that they exist on all layers using the wildcard and
then not also enumerate the copper layers (in this case, enumerating the
copper layers that were not enabled on the board).
The m_imageData buffer in the BITMAP_BASE is an
internal implementation - the public API to persist the
data to a stream appears to be SaveImageData - so use that,
which hides the implementation (and generates the image data
"live" when needed).
Remove the public access to the m_imageData buffer as it isn't
needed for public use, and also is misleading.
Also break out the formatting of the data into KICAD_FORMAT,
as it's currently replicated in eeschema/pcb/pagelayout
formatting code.
Fixes: https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/19772
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
