This sounds like the RC_ITEM::ShowCoord function will be removed or replaced. It's one of the two troublesome function groups. The other troublesome function group is the GetSelectMenuText function. Last year I knew what they did but I've forgotten in the interim. Will this DRC rewrite replace these? -Reece ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Kicad-developers] Display origin transforms for DRC reports?
I'm looking at display origin transformations for DRC reports. With the 5.1.x branch Pcbnew, the DRC report dialog box message texts contained the Cartesian coordinates of each flagged item. It appears that the 5.99 branch no longer displays the coordinates of DRC items. However, the Cartesian coordinates are still listed in the report file.

[Kicad-developers] Proposal: Drop GTK2 support
Currently, we support both GTK2 and GTK3 versions of wxWidgets. What I am proposing here is that we drop the support of GTK2 from our codebase and only officially support the GTK3 version of wxWidgets on Linux. This would only apply for master (v6 and beyond), 5.1 would continue to have its same support status. The reasons I have for wanting this are: * GTK2 has some issues in rendering our UI that we can't overcome ( https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/4842). * New features in the KIPLATFORM library will make direct use of the GTK calls and headers, and having to support mixed GTK versions makes the build system and code for these features very complex * All of our supported platforms for v6 use the GTK3 version of wxWidgets by default Any objections/comments? -Ian ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Kicad-developers] Kicad 6 API
Hi, I have a keen interest on APIs for Kicad6. I wonder if there are any documents describing the intented architecture and APIs of Kicad6 yet? If so could you give me a pointer where? If not, is there any interest in me starting a google doc and begin to propose something like it?
