      * KIWAY Milestone A): Make major modules into DLL/DSOs. · 2c67c3ff
      Dick Hollenbeck authored
      !   The initial testing of this commit should be done using a Debug build so that
          all the wxASSERT()s are enabled.  Also, be sure and keep enabled the
          USE_KIWAY_DLLs option.  The tree won't likely build without it.  Turning it
          off is senseless anyways.  If you want stable code, go back to a prior version,
          the one tagged with "stable".
      
      *   Relocate all functionality out of the wxApp derivative into more finely
          targeted purposes:
          a) DLL/DSO specific
          b) PROJECT specific
          c) EXE or process specific
          d) configuration file specific data
          e) configuration file manipulations functions.
      
          All of this functionality was blended into an extremely large wxApp derivative
          and that was incompatible with the desire to support multiple concurrently
          loaded DLL/DSO's ("KIFACE")s and multiple concurrently open projects.
          An amazing amount of organization come from simply sorting each bit of
          functionality into the proper box.
      
      *   Switch to wxConfigBase from wxConfig everywhere except instantiation.
      *   Add classes KIWAY, KIFACE, KIFACE_I, SEARCH_STACK, PGM_BASE, PGM_KICAD,
          PGM_SINGLE_TOP,
      *   Remove "Return" prefix on many function names.
      *   Remove obvious comments from CMakeLists.txt files, and from else() and endif()s.
      *   Fix building boost for use in a DSO on linux.
      *   Remove some of the assumptions in the CMakeLists.txt files that windows had
          to be the host platform when building windows binaries.
      *   Reduce the number of wxStrings being constructed at program load time via
          static construction.
      *   Pass wxConfigBase* to all SaveSettings() and LoadSettings() functions so that
          these functions are useful even when the wxConfigBase comes from another
          source, as is the case in the KICAD_MANAGER_FRAME.
      *   Move the setting of the KIPRJMOD environment variable into class PROJECT,
          so that it can be moved into a project variable soon, and out of FP_LIB_TABLE.
      *   Add the KIWAY_PLAYER which is associated with a particular PROJECT, and all
          its child wxFrames and wxDialogs now have a Kiway() member function which
          returns a KIWAY& that that window tree branch is in support of.  This is like
          wxWindows DNA in that child windows get this member with proper value at time
          of construction.
      *   Anticipate some of the needs for milestones B) and C) and make code
          adjustments now in an effort to reduce work in those milestones.
      *   No testing has been done for python scripting, since milestone C) has that
          being largely reworked and re-thought-out.

      *) Change FOOTPRINT_LIST::ReadFootprintFiles( FP_LIB_TABLE*, const wxString*) · dba4fcce
      Dick Hollenbeck authored
         To use multiple working threads.  This entailed adding KiCad typedefs:
      *) Add typedefs for MUTEX and MUTLOCK which mask the actual choices for the project.
      *) Add FOOTPRINT_LIST::DisplayErrors( wxWindow* ) which is a single strategy for
         showing aggregated load errors.  Although what's there is only scaffolding
         and needs a volunteer who knows HTML pretty well.
      *) Ensure all callers of ReadFootprintFiles() use the new DisplayErrors() function.   
      *) Push utf8.cpp and utf8.h into common library for open use.

      Implement "KiCad s-epression" support for boost::property_tree's ptree, the 8 · 6bf3d7cd
      Dick Hollenbeck authored
      bit string version of property_tree. The ram resident structure of the ptree is
      mostly compatible with one created using the xml_parser from
      boost::property_tree, with slight differences in the way atoms are stored. The
      result is you can use Format() to convert from xml to s-expression, but not the
      other way around. You can write a simple s-expression beautifier in just a few
      lines of code.
      
      The main value however is the s-expression parser, i.e. Scan(), which is an
      alternative to crafting a custom recursive descent parser for a particular
      grammar. The tipping point depends on whether you want to read only a small
      portion of a much larger document. If so, then using the ptree will likely be a
      "faster to code" route. Documentation on how to navigate a ptree can be found on
      the boost website and there are a number of examples in the
      pcbnew/eagle_plugin.cpp file in this project. Powerful path navigation support
      makes it easy to extract a subset of a ptree.

      Introduction of Graphics Abstraction Layer based rendering for pcbnew. · e262b321
      Maciej Suminski authored
      New classes:
          - VIEW - represents view that is seen by user, takes care of layer ordering & visibility and how it is displayed (which location, how much zoomed, etc.)
          - VIEW_ITEM - Base class for every item that can be displayed on VIEW (the biggest change is that now it may be necessary to override ViewBBox & ViewGetLayers method for derived classes).
          - EDA_DRAW_PANEL_GAL - Inherits after EDA_DRAW_PANEL, displays VIEW output, right now it is not editable (in opposite to usual EDA_DRAW_PANEL).
          - GAL/OPENGL_GAL/CAIRO_GAL - Base Graphics Abstraction Layer class + two different flavours (Cairo is not fully supported yet), that offers methods to draw primitives using different libraries.
          - WX_VIEW_CONTROLS - Controller for VIEW, handles user events, allows zooming, panning, etc.
          - PAINTER/PCB_PAINTER - Classes that uses GAL interface to draw items (as you may have already guessed - PCB_PAINTER is a class for drawing PCB specific object, PAINTER is an abstract class). Its methods are invoked by VIEW, when an item has to be drawn. To display a new type of item - you need to implement draw(ITEM_TYPE*) method that draws it using GAL methods.
          - STROKE_FONT - Implements stroke font drawing using GAL methods.
                                
      Most important changes to Kicad original code:
          * EDA_ITEM now inherits from VIEW_ITEM, which is a base class for all drawable objects.
          * EDA_DRAW_FRAME contains both usual EDA_DRAW_PANEL and new EDA_DRAW_PANEL_GAL, that can be switched anytime.
          * There are some new layers for displaying multilayer pads, vias & pads holes (these are not shown yet on the right sidebar in pcbnew)
          * Display order of layers is different than in previous versions (if you are curious - you may check m_galLayerOrder@pcbnew/basepcbframe.cpp). Preserving usual order would result in not very natural display, such as showing silkscreen texts on the bottom.
          * Introduced new hotkey (Alt+F12) and new menu option (View->Switch canvas) for switching canvas during runtime.
          * Some of classes (mostly derived from BOARD_ITEM) now includes ViewBBox & ViewGetLayers methods.
          * Removed tools/class_painter.h, as now it is extended and included in source code.
                               
      Build changes:
          * GAL-based rendering option is turned on by a new compilation CMake option KICAD_GAL.
          * When compiling with CMake option KICAD_GAL=ON, GLEW and Cairo libraries are required.
          * GAL-related code is compiled into a static library (common/libgal).
          * Build with KICAD_GAL=OFF should not need any new libraries and should come out as a standard version of Kicad
                                  
      Currently most of items in pcbnew can be displayed using OpenGL (to be done are DIMENSIONS and MARKERS).
