=======================================
Refactor:
- Substitute the use of variadic templates with parameter packs.
- Use recently incorporated external library "fmt" to handle printf like formating.
- Extensive cleaning of pragmas and unnecessary forward declarations.
- Parameter packs and libfmt provide a much stronger type checking now, so
conversions that are by standard implicit as bool to int need an explicit static_cast
to avoid compilation warnings.
Extension:
- Include a notifier field, so that the originator of the message can be provided. E.g. Document#DocumentObject
- Include a new type of message called CriticalMessage, this message is intended to have
special behaviour in the future. Namely, it will be used to notify forward compatilibity issues.
It will be used to substitute the current signal/slot mechanism.
- Include two new types of messages for user notifications (Notification and TranslatedNotification). This messages
will be use to convey UI notifications intended for the user (such as non-intrusive message about the usage of a tool). There
are two versions to mark whether the string provided as a message is already translated or not. When using the console system for
notifications, these notifications may originate from the App or the Gui. In the former, it is generally the case that the strings
of messages are not (yet) translated (but they can be marked with QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP). In the latter, often the messages to be provided
are already translated.
Python support for CriticalMessage, Notification and TranslatedNofification, including shortcuts:
Crt = FreeCAD.Console.PrintCritical
Ntf = FreeCAD.Console.PrintNotification
Tnf = FreeCAD.Console.PrintTranslatedNotification
* [TD] remove unused headers
- also some sorting
- also improve readability by not using an abbreviation (we consistently don't abbreviate class names)
- in DimensionValidators.h the declarations must not be with TechDrawExport
- add missing precompiled headers
- also fix too long lines (fixed by clang)
- also some re-sorting
- also remove unused headers
- correct interpretation of True vs Projected
- handle long subelement names in references
- fix "too small" value condition
- better error messages for bad dimension geometry
- separate validation, geometry and reference handling into
individual files
- improve 3d reference geometry handling
- eliminate duplicate dim creation code
- add Dimension reference repair dialog
- Refactor formatting out of DrawViewDimension
- move dimension repaint control to ViewProvider
