* [Windows][MinGW] Update some WIN32 macro checks in source code to be MSVC-specific (not needed for GCC-based builds).
* [build] CMakeLists updates:
Adjust for Windows MinGW builds: now fully compatible with Qt5.5+ and MinGW-w64 toolchain (included in Qt installs);
Add option to specify path to required libraries/includes (instead of hard-coding `c:\programs`);
Add package check for Python and use found executable name;
Remove custom FindSdl package handler in favor of stock (and improved) CMake one (still works with Windows);
Do not force SIMU_AUDIO and LUA_COMPILER in SIMU builds (leave it up to user);
Add SIMU_LUA_COMPILER option specifically for SIMU builds (default = ON);
* [build][Windows] Rewrite/Fix Windows Companion `install` target, with two options:
a) just copy supporting Qt and c++ DLLs to build folder so programs can be quickly be run from there (this is default and similar to the old behavior);
b) full installation to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX path, including all binaries, supporting DLLs, language files, and OTx utilities.
Option b) can be selected with new WIN_DO_FULL_INSTALL parameter;
Also cleans up the Linux install a bit and consolidates the OS X parts;
* [simulator][Windows] Add option to build Windows simulator with system console/terminal enabled (both standalone and when launched from Companion). Mostly useful for debug as it gives output messages much sooner in the startup process than the current debug console. Also helpful because you don't have to open it manually on every launch, and it remembers last window position and size. Possible candidate for a user-selectable runtime option in the future.
* [Windows] Fix MSVC build issues.
* [build] More build fixes:
Use a customized FindSDL.cmake script again due to bugs and deficiencies in the official version (based on script from CMake v3.7);
Fixes missing SDL DLL error in NSIS installer);
Use string for Timers option (checkbox in GUI is confusing);
Remove an unused variable.
* [simu][Windows] Fix f_getcwd() cutting off too many characters (fixes SD browser interactions).
* [Companion] MdiChild now use a QTreeWidget instead of a QListWidget (for Horus compatibility)
* [Companion] Horus models.txt parsing / writing implemented
* Fix for QT53 (#4109)
* Files moved to thirdparty directory
* Miniz library added
* Unused simulators removed: er9x, th9x, ersky9x
* Example of opening archive file .eepe2 (File->Open)
* File reorganization, bunch of files moved to storage directory
* Added StorageSdcard class to handle storage for radios that use SD card to store radio settings and models
introduced generateProcessUniqueTempFileName() which is used everywhere we need temporary file
renamed unlink() into qunlink()
fixed missing deletion of curve pngs in print dialog
FirmwareInterface::getCapability() to know which options are enabled in
the preferences. The Heli tab and the GVars are displayed according to
these options.
refactoring (code was duplicated in many locations) around read/write
firmware/eeprom/backups, who could do some more tests before next
release? Thanks in advance!
Introduced the term Radio Backup File to describe the eprom files that are uploaded from the radio.
The terms Radio, Tx and TX were used intermittently. I changed them all to Radio (naturally not in contexts having anything with the actual radio transmitting circuit).
I tried adding a line in the ui to separate the setting like done for other groups, but failed to get a horizontal line that spans the whole width despite spending half an hour in that ******* QT designer.
