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
This tidies up quite a performance hit on layer change
caused by repainting vias, pads and tracks for their
clearances.
Instead, on a layer change, just disable any old clearance
layer and enable the new one (if any).

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
Required for net inspector otherwise composite operations (such
as undo / redo, and length tuning) can result in multiple add /
remove events firing which results in inconsistent length state.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/17527
(for 9.0)
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
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/16908
ADDED: Context menu item in PCB appearances widget to import netclass
color from schematic.
ADDED: Context menu item to reset PCB netclass color (replicating
same menu item from Nets inspector)
Graphic shapes (excluding text) can now have nets when on
copper layers. Shapes behave like tracks in that they will
pick up nets from connected pads, and follow track opacity
settings.
Using a boolean argument just leads to a lot of trailing booleans in the
function calls and is not user friendly. Instead, introduce PostAction()
to send an action that runs after the coroutine (equivalent to passing
false or the default argument), and leave RunAction as the immediate
execution function.
