Previous PKGREVISION did not install plugins, so that reading file may give
unsupportted format error etc. Installing more files now. Because of this
the directory is now under ${PREFIX}/lib/klayout/. The error was originally
reported from Atsushi Toyokura by personal communication, thanks.
(The problem was since 26.*, probably), PKGREVISION++.
0.26.8 (2020-09-15):
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/639
A new method is available which enables copying of multiple cells
into a target layout while maintaining common subcells are single
cells.
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/637
Points have not been selected properly when inside mirrored subcells
in partial edit mode.
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/629
Qt5 QTimer timeout signal was not available to Python or Ruby.
This also applied to all "private" signals of Qt5. QTimer is just
one important example for this case.
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/617
A problem with pseudo-const Python/Ruby objects in the netlist API
was fixed.
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/615
Basic authentication for package manager now uses UTF-8 encoding.
Most servers expect this kind of encoding today. UTF password
characters are supported this way.
0.26.7 (2020-07-07):
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/381 and more
Some bugs fixed that happened specifically on MacOS.
1.) A segfault that happened in LVS
2.) Some classes were not properly registered for usage in scripts.
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/493
LVS asserted on MacOS
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/586
As a safety feature, the stream writers now refuse to write layouts
with cells carrying the same names. Writing such layers would result
in corrupted or invalid layout files.
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/589 (tentative)
On Anaconda-based builds for MacOS 10.15 (Catalina) a loss of instances
was observed. This could be traced down to compiler/library incompatibilities
but not further.
* Enhancements: %GITHUB%/issues/591
Two enhancements in the macro editor:
1.) A crash happening when adding a new location was fixed
2.) The template selection popup can now be disabled by dismissing the
tip dialog.
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/592
Reading a file into a layout with unnamed layers caused problems with
layer mapping specs.
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/596
Library#_destroy was crashing the application. As this function must not
be called, it's rerouted to "nothing" for backward compatibility.
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/603
The "adjust origin" feature now allows specifying the target
coordinates for the adjustment.
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/610
An internal error happened for certain hierarchical configurations on
netlist extraction.
* Enhancement: LVS netlist compare
The algorithm was improved to provide better reproducibility. The
detection of matching paths in the presence of ambiguities was
improved.
In addition, the netlist compare now favours net names for resolving
ambiguities. So if nets are named the same in the layout and the
schematic, ambiguities are resolved based on these names. This is
usually more efficient. A new function is available to turn this
feature off: "consider_net_names(false)".

- $(tech_file) -> substituted by the absolute path to the tech file
- $(appdata_path) -> substituted by KLayout's home directory (e.g. ~/.klayout)
- $(env('X')) -> substituted by the environment variable $X
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/406
DRC edge layers: AND between intersecting edges gives point-like
markers indicating the intersection points
* Enhancement: netlist object properties
User properties can be attached to the following netlist objects
now: Pin, Device, Circuit, Net and SubCircuit. Properties are
key/value pairs (keys and values can be strings can be strings
or numbers).
The property-enabled classes use "NetlistObject" as the base
class now. NetlistObject provides "set_property" to set or reset
a property and "property" to retrieve one.
Properties are persisted in L2N and LVSDB files and written to
layout shapes on "build_nets".
* Enhancement: more detailed progress
On certain nested operations, a double or triple progress bar is
shown indicating the progress of nested operations.
0.26.1 (2019-11-06):
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/354
Buddy scripts did segfault.
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/352
LVS: equivalent_pins required the cell to be present.
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/353

* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/382
Possibility to copy user property value.
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/387
Salt: Python version can be specified in "api-version".
Other requirements can be specified too.
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/392
Layers "Style" sub-pane was malformed.
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/394
Even bigger font sizes for rulers and labels for the 4k age:
Now there is "XLarge", "XXLarge" and "XXXLarge" as well.
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/393
DRC syntax errors are now shown in their original code line
of the DRC script.
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/400
Snap feature wasn't working for deep regions in certain use
cases.
* Enhancement: new "scale_and_snap" methods
These methods allow scaling and snapping of layouts. Scaling
is supported by a rational factor. After scaling, snapping can
be applied to an integer grid. There are two incarnations.
Region#scale_and_snap (or Region#scaled_and_snapped): this is
a flat implementation which allows anisotropic scaling/snapping
as well.
And there is Layout#scale_and_snap which is a fully
hierarchical scale-and-snap feature. The latter does not support
anisotropic scaling/snapping, but works hierarchically without
opening gaps. It operates on a top cell and on all layers.
* Enhancement: new Region#pull_* methods and DRC features
"pull_*" is a class of methods that allows rehierarchisation
of shapes. These methods act similar to "interacting", but
the other way around: instead of delivering interacting
shapes of the first argument, it will deliver shapes of
the second argument. For example, "a.pull_interacting(b)"
will deliver polygons of b which interact with polygons
of a. As a side effect, the polygons of b will be stored
hierarchically close to the polygons of a. This provides
a way to "re-hierarchise" layout.
The full class of methods and DRC functions involve:
Region#pull_interacting, Region#pull_inside, Region#pull_overlapping
and the same functions for DRC.
"pull_interacting" is also available for the Edges class
and edge layers in DRC.
* Enhancement: Net tracer bug fix for heavily decomposed polygons
The net tracing feature now can operate on heavily decompose
polygons as well. Such layouts can be created by using a low
max. vertex count on GDS write. The problem were small
triangles with an area of 0.5 square DBU.
* Enhancements: General fixes of deep DRC mode
Some inconsistencies with merged/raw mode have been
removed. Performance was enhanced in a few places.
Multithreaded mode now works more reliably.
* Enhancements/bugfixes: various LVS improvements
The backtracking algorithm should work more reliable
in cases of ambiguities and floating nets or pins.
Performance should be better in some cases.
LVS script structure is less rigid now. "cheats" to
forcibly ignore hierarchy interactions for some
cells (useful for SRAM layout for example).
Still there is some work to do.

* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/343
Dockable bookmark window
* Enhancement: Hierarchical mode for DRC ("deep" keyword)
DRC can be put into hierarchical mode with the "deep"
statement at the beginning of the file.
In hierarchical mode, most operations are performed
in a hierarchical fashion - i.e. trying to maintain
as much from the original hierarchy as possible.
* Enhancements: Antenna checks for DRC
DRC now got an antenna check feature. Netlist extraction
is the basis for this feature.
* Enhancement: Hierarchical mode in XOR tool and "strmxor"
The XOR tool and the "strmxor" buddy tool provide
switches to enable hierarchical mode. These options
are considered experimental currently as XOR between
two different layouts was not the implementation goal.
* Enhancement: Netlist extraction
KLayout supports extraction of netlists from a layout.
This is the first step towards LVS. This feature includes
an infrastructure providing netlist data structures
(with Ruby/Python bindings), Netlist readers and writers
(Spice format), device recognition and a netlist browser.
* Enhancement: LVS
The LVS feature is based on the netlist extraction capabilities.
It adds netlist vs. netlist compare and the corresponding
infrastructure.
LVS is a new script environment that is based on the DRC feature
and extends the DRC script language by LVS elements.
* Enhancement: Command line option -mn to open netlist database
* Enhancement: Net tracer "trace all nets"
Based on the netlist extraction feature, an alternative mode
for net tracing is provided. With "trace all nets", no a single
but all nets are traced at once. Probing then happens in the
final nets extracted rather than providing the seed shape.
"Trace all nets" operates in hierarchical mode and therefore
usually is faster and has a smaller memory footprint when
extracting huge nets such as power nets.
* Enhancement: Library browser
The library browser is a dockable tool window which shows
all libraries installed. Use drag and drop to place a library
cell from the library browser in edit mode.
* Enhancement: Layout query enhancements
Layout queries (aka "Search and replace") now allow specification
of Variables when using the script API. The performance of queries has been
enhanced in the case of cell tree recursion.
* Enhancement: Gridline colors
The grid lines (or dots, depending on the style) can now be given
different colors for axes, grid lines and the ruler inset.
* Enhancement: Multiple files on import
The "File/Import/Other files into current" feature now allows
importing multiple files into the current layout.
* Enhancement: Python standalone module
KLayout supports production of standalone Python modules
which provide the same features than the "pya" module but
for use without the KLayout binary. If installed properly,
"import klayout" will pull in all modules. "import klayout.db"
will pull in the database part.
Deployment on PyPI is supported.
* Enhancement: Modal help dialog from modal windows
When using Assistant links in the UI, the assistant now is shown
as a modal window when called from a modal dialog. Before, the
Assistant window wasn't usable in this case.

Install the new interchangeable BLAS system created by Thomas Orgis,
currently supporting Netlib BLAS/LAPACK, OpenBLAS, cblas, lapacke, and
Apple's Accelerate.framework. This system allows the user to select any
BLAS implementation without modifying packages or using package options, by
setting PKGSRC_BLAS_TYPES in mk.conf. See mk/blas.buildlink3.mk for details.
This commit should not alter behavior of existing packages as the system
defaults to Netlib BLAS/LAPACK, which until now has been the only supported
implementation.
Details:
Add new mk/blas.buildlink3.mk for inclusion in dependent packages
Install compatible Netlib math/blas and math/lapack packages

* Bug fixes (thanks Daniel Hwang for the contributions).
* Bug fix in `Cell.copy` where the whole dependency tree would be copied on a deep copy creation.
These packages are susceptible to bugs when confronted with non-ASCII
characters.
See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=94182.
It takes some time to analyze and fix these individually, therefore they
are only marked as "needs work".
Version 1.5.2 (Feb 01, 2020)
Added support for importing GDSII files containing BOX elements.
Bug fix in GdsLibrary.extract (thanks collineps for finding the problem).
Version 1.5 (Dec 20, 2019)
New Cell.write_svg function to export an SVG image of the cell.
New GdsLibrary.new_cell function to quickly create and add cells to a library.
GdsLibrary.add can update references when a cell is overwritten.
Added GdsLibrary.remove to allow cells to be properly removed from libraries.
Added GdsLibrary.rename_cell to rename cells in libraries.
Added GdsLibrary.replace_references to easily replace referenced cells in libraries.
GdsLibrary.add can add dependencies recursively.
Iterating over GdsLibrary objects yields all its cells.
Iterating over Cell objects yield all its polygons, paths, labels and references.
Breaking change to *.to_gds functions in order to improve write efficiency (this should not be a problem for most users, since gdspy.write_gds and Cell.write_gds remain the same).
Breaking change: renamed GdsLibrary.cell_dict to GdsLibrary.cells.
Deprecated: gdspy.current_library, gdspy.write_gds, gdspy.fast_boolen, GdsLibrary.extract.

Version 1.4 (May 18, 2019)
Revised documentation.
New FlexPath and RobustPath classes: more efficient path generation when using the original GDSII path specification.
New Curve class: SVG-like polygon creation.
Added PolygonSet.mirror (thanks to Daan Waardenburg for the contribution).
Added Path.bezier to create paths based on Bézier curves.
Added Path.smooth to create paths based on smooth interpolating curves.
Added get_gds_units to get units used in a GDSII file without loading.
Added get_binary_cells to load only the binary GDSII representation of cell from a file.
Added argument tolerance to Round, Path.arc, Path.turn, and Path.parametric to automatically control the number of points in the final polygons.
Added argument binary_cells to GDSII writing functions to support get_binary_cells.
Added argument rename_template to GdsLibrary.read_gds for flexible cell renaming (thanks to @yoshi74ls181 for the contribution).
Changed return value of slice to avoid creating empty PolygonSet.
Added argument timestamp to GDSII writing functions.
Improved Round to support creating ellipses.
Added support for unlimited number of points per polygon.
Added support for BGNEXTN and ENDEXTN when reading a GDSII file.
Polygon creation warnings are now controlled by poly_warnings.
Incorrect anchor in Label now raises an error, instead of emitting a warning.
Added correct support for radius in PolygonSet.fillet on a per-vertex basis.
Speed improvements in GDSII file generation (thanks to @fbeutel for the contribution) and geometry creation.
Font rendering example using matplotlib (thanks Hernan Pastoriza for the contribution).
Expanded test suite.
Version 1.3.2 (Mar 14, 2019)
Small fix for building on Mac OS X Mojave.
One is via "${JAVA_BINPREFIX}-java", and one is via
"${PKG_JAVA_HOME}/bin/java".
The "${JAVA_BINPREFIX}-java" way relies on an appropriately named
executable being present in the built-in JRE if you are using the
built-in - something with a "-java" suffix. That just doesn't exist
in either the MacOS Oracle JRE install or the JDK install. So switch
to "${PKG_JAVA_HOME}/bin/java" instead, which works (but does require
careful quoting to allow for spaces under MacOS).
Bump PKGREVISION.

Upstream changelog
==================
2.2.0 Release Candidate
There were more than 250 commits since 2.2.0-alpha, thus it was overdue to get rid of the alpha in the tag now.
With some more improvements in the last couple weeks, we switch directly to Release Candidate as the response from community is, that the master branch is stable.
There are only some minor changes in the line before the final 2.2.0 release.
3.3.101 08may19 Added gtkwave::getFacDir, gtkwave::getFacVtype, and
gtkwave::getFacDtype Tcl accessor functions that function
similar to gtkwave::getFacName.
Pair $end with $dumpvars in VCD writers.
Make %.16g printing in baseconvert.c more resistant to power
of 10 roundoff errors.
Remove register keyword where applicable as is deprecated.
Added --saveonexit gtkwave command line option.
PyRTL provides a collection of classes for pythonic register-transfer
level design, simulation, tracing, and testing suitable for teaching
and research. Simplicity, usability, clarity, and extensibility
rather than performance or optimization is the overarching goal.
It's using the same script bindings for every Qt version past 5.5.0,
so the version check isn't actually necessary at this point. Just pretend
to be 5.5.0 and install those bindings.
While here, install icons and avoid installing .gitignore files.
Bump PKGREVISION.

KiCad 5.1.2 Release
2019-04-26
The KiCad project is proud to announce the latest series 5 stable release of KiCad. The 5.1.2 stable version contains critical bug fixes and other minor improvements since the 5.1.0 release. It also includes improved footprint, symbol, and 3D model libraries, translations, and documentation. A list of all of the fixed bugs since the 5.1.0 release can be found on the KiCad 5.1.2 milestone page. This release contains several critical bug fixes so please consider upgrading as soon as possible.
KiCad 5.1.0 Release
2019-03-14
The KiCad project is proud to announce the release of version
5.1.0. This is the first ever minor version release of KiCad and was
developed primarily to resolve compatibility issues with Linux GTK3
and long awaited support for python3.
In addition to the primary focus, there have been many important
changes that make this release a substantial improvement over the 5.0
series and a worthwhile upgrade for users on all platforms. Included
in the improvements are:
- Improved 3D model library path configuration.
- Cairo canvas is now used for printing support on all platforms.
- Schematic and symbol library editors now use the modern canvases for
rendering.
- Symbol pin table is now editable.
- Pcbnew scripting support for Python 3 has been added.
- Snapping for graphical object drawing in board and footprint editors.
- Significant user interface improvements.
- Major dialog box improvements.
- Both the footprint and symbol library editors now share the same
user interface paradigm with a library tree view pane.
- Symbol, footprint, and 3D model library improvements.
- Documentation and translation improvements.
- Less pain for Linux package maintainers, now all features should be
easy to support.
Additionally, files created by KiCad version 5.1 remain 100%
compatible with files created by version 5.0.
Of course no new stable version of KiCad would be complete without
many, many bug fixes so please consider upgrading as soon as
possible. This version will be the only supported version of KiCad
moving forward. There will be no further releases of the 5.0 series.
Version 5.1.0 is built from the source code in the lp:kicad/5.1
branch.
KiCad binaries will be available for download for Windows, MacOS, and
Linux are available or will be in the very near future. See the KiCad
download page for guidance.
Thank you to all developers, packagers, librarians, document writers,
translators, and everyone else who helped make this release
possible. We hope you enjoy the latest release of KiCad.

Warning
Please note that a last minute bug was found in the Eagle schematic
import feature too late to be fixed in this release which is expected
to be fixed in release 5.0.2. If you need to convert Eagle schematics
you may want to hold off upgrading until 5.0.2.
KiCad 5 - A New Generation
2018-07-22
Almost a year after the release of KiCad 4.0.7, the KiCad development
team is proud to present a new and improved KiCad 5.0 release!
The stable release version 5.0.0 is made from the stable 5.0 branch.
KiCad binaries should be available now or in the very near future for
download for Windows, macOS and Linux. See the download page for
guidance.
http://kicad-pcb.org/post/release-5.0.0/
pkglint -Wall -r -F cad
Manually fixed the indentation in cad/ghdl/Makefile because SITES.* was
(by the current definition) not long enough to count as an outlier line,
and because of this, all other lines were aligned to that line.
3.3.100 20mar19 FSDB fix for variable declarations of array of reals.
Added Real, Time, Enum, and Popcnt flags to Edit/Show-Change.
Ensure Show-Change regenerates analog traces.
Added braces inside Tcl source command to allow spaces in
filenames for Tcl scripts.
3.3.99 09feb19 Added visible single bit glitches as a yellow dot (if enabled
with --rcvar 'vcd_preserve_glitches on').
Fixed print routine broken by bsearch_trunc() optimization in
version 3.3.96.
Verilator is the fastest free Verilog HDL simulator, and outperforms
most commercial simulators. Verilator compiles synthesizable
SystemVerilog (generally not test-bench code), plus some SystemVerilog
and Synthesis assertions into single- or multithreaded C++ or
SystemC code. Verilator is designed for large projects where fast
simulation performance is of primary concern, and is especially
well suited to generate executable models of CPUs for embedded
software design teams.
3.3.94 03sep18 Applied ghwlib.c patch for dealing with null ranges.
Added second chance algorithm for find_dumpfile() in case
it fails.
3.3.95 07oct18 Added fflush on stdout for help text as fix for possible
stdout problem with mingw/msys shells.
Added preliminary support for Time datatype.
Warnings fixes for Verilator integration.
Fixed install_proc_filter usage for Tcl invocation.
Change integer type to "integer" in SST to differentiate it
from sv ints.
Premiminary support for enum tables embedded in FST files.
3.3.96 15nov18 Changed to standardized zoom in/out/full hotkeys.
Added time backtracking warning (for partial mode) to lxt2vcd.
VCD time backtracking fix (not for interactive mode).
Added drag_failed handling (can press ESC) to DnD operations.
Prevent missing file in savefile from causing savefile to be
read as VCD by mistake.
Changed to Dinotrace-like 0s/1s rendering for bit vectors so
values can be discerned without seeing the full value text.
Removed unneeded pango_layout_get_extents() inside call for
font_engine_draw_string().
Changed bsearch_trunc() to run in constant time when monospace
fonts are in use.
Added missing GDK_SCROLL_MASK to signal area (need for gtk3,
but not for other versions for some reason).
3.3.97 23nov18 Need to set menu_wlist entry NULL on gtk_widget_destroy().
Fix on vtype()/vtype2() to detect 'x' and make the coloration
red on newly-displayed traces. (Bug new from Dinotrace-like
rendering in 3.3.96.)
3.0.11:
- [FIX] Repair Environment.exit() to support PEP-479 and Python 3.7.
- [FIX] Fix wrong usage_since calculation in preemptions
- [NEW] Add "Time and Scheduling" section to docs
- [CHANGE] Move Interrupt from events to exceptions
- [FIX] Various minor documentation improvements

* Use Qt 5 instead of Qt 4
Changelog:
0.25.3 (2018-05-03):
* Enhancement: Compile option to use libcurl instead of QtNetwork
This workaround enables builds on the native CentOS6
configuration with the package manager functional.
* Enhancement: Pass label (text) layers through DRC script
The "labels" method now allows copying labels from a layer
to the output.
* Enhancement: New "split" method for polygons
This method will fragment the polygons into two or more
smaller parts for reducing their vertex count.
* Enhancement: New "dtrans" method for RecursiveShapeIterator
This method delivers the transformation in micron unit space
* Enhancement: New "insert" methods for Shapes
Shapes can now insert from another Shapes container and
from a RecursiveShapeIterator. Possible applications are
fast flattening and fast region selection.
* Enhancement: New method to generate RDB items from shapes
RdbItem#add_value from a shape, RdbDatabase#create_items
from a shapes container or recursive shape iterator and
RdbDatabase#create_item from a shape.
* Enhancement: DXF and CIF "keep layer names"
If this option is set in the reader options, layer names
are not translated into GDS layer/datatype pairs.
Specifically a layer called "L5" for example is not
translated to 5/0 and to "L5D0" on output correspondingly.
The buddy script option is "--keep-layer-names".
* Enhancement: DXF contour joining accuracy
On the DXF reader's options, a contour joining accuracy
can be specified. Small gaps smaller than this accuracy
will be closed when forming joined contours from edges.
The buddy script option is --dxf-contour-accuracy=value.
* Bugfix: DXF display issue
In some cases, DXF cell instances did not trigger bounding
box update and the cells only got visible after save and
load.
* Bugfix: XOR progress is more realistic
The progress is updated after the layer has been computed,
not before.
* Bugfix: https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/issues/117
DTrans#itype was broken.
* Bugfix: https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/issues/116
Fixed a polygon decomposition bug when writing GDS files
with big polygons with many holes. As a side effect, the
polygons with many holes computed by a NOT operation for
example are less complex and spikes in the cutlines are
avoided.
* Bugfix: https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/issues/115
Reader options were not persisted.
* Bugfix: https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/issues/114
Custom line styles not loaded from tech's layer properties
file.
* Enhancement: https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/issues/113
The XOR tool has an option now to heal result shapes which

"Key Bindings" configuration page has been turned into
"Menu Customization". Check boxes allow enabling or
disabling of menu items. Disabled menu items are not
shown.
A search filter allows quick selection of menu items
by title or path.
* Enhancement: The cell tree no longer is collapsed on edits
or when the sorting order changes.
* Enhancement: Using a special menu path, macros can be
configured to appear in submenus now.

* Enhancements: Buddy tools: KLayout now comes with a set of
additional executables that provide some functionality
subset in a lean way. These binaries are named "strm..."
and are installed along with KLayout.
- strm2cif: converts any format to CIF
- strm2dxf: converts any format to DXF
- strm2gds: converts any format to GDS2
- strm2gdstxt: converts any format to GDS2/text
- strm2oas: converts any format to OASIS

KLayout and can include macros, script libraries, fonts
for the TEXT PCell, technologies, DRC scripts etc.
Packages can be published on GitHub or any server
supporting WebDAV. After registering a package, users
can install or update packages with a few clicks.
For more information see https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/wiki
or "About Packages" in the "Various Topics" area of the main
documentation. The package manager is found in the "Tools"
menu under "Manage Packages".

Works best with manhattan layouts.
* Enhancements: "Marked box mode": boxes are drawn with a cross.
* Enhancements: Arbitrary pattern size for custom fill pattern (no
limited to multiples of 8). Max size is 32x32.
Enhanced annotations:
- Ellipses
- Position markers
- Text alignment
- "Auto measure" rulers (place a ruler measuring the
distances between adjacent objects with a single
click)
* Enhancements: DRC enhancements:
- Text support
- "smoothed" function
- "layers" function delivers all layers read
- Polygon with edge interactions
- middle and extent_refs methods for center point and other
references
- "corners" function

* Enhancements: GDS2 paths can now use the MultiXY extension too.
* Enhancements: X2 Support for Gerber import.
* Enhancements: A function to reset the window state after the
window has been misconfigured (i.e. detaching or closing
the dockable windows). This feature is found in
View/Restore Window.
3.3.90 08may18 For Cut Traces, fix up scroll position if there are traces
above the current row being cut.
Bits to real crash fix for very large floats.
Fixed gray code conversions that were incomplete for right
justified vectors such that the vector length is not a
multiple of the radix size (4 for hex, 3 for oct).
Warray-bounds warning fix for 32-bit conversions in BitsToReal.
3.3.91 29may18 Added support for GSettings for when GConf is removed from
distributions such as Debian and Ubuntu.
Performance fix for large number of groups (remove useless
recursion required for transaction traces).
### Version 1.3.1 (Jun 29, 2018)
* `PolygonSet` becomes the base class for all polygons, in particular `Polygon` and `Rectangle`.
* Added `Cell.remove_polygons` and `Cell.remove_labels` functions to allow filtering a cell contents based, for example, on each element's layer.
* Added `PolygonSet.scale` utility method.
* Added `PolygonSet.get_bounding_box` utility method.
* Added argument `timestamp` to `Cell.to_gds`, `GdsLibrary.write_gds` and `GdsWriter`.
* Added `unit` and `precision` arguments to `GdsLibrary` initialization and removed from its `write_gds` method.
* Changed the meaning of argument `unit` in `GdsLibrary.read_gds`.
* Improved `slice` to avoid errors when slicing in multiple positions at once.
* Improved `PolygonSet.fracture` to reduce number of function calls.
* Removed incorrect absolute flags for magnification and rotation in `CellReference` and `CellArray`.
* Minor bug fixes.
* Documentation fixes.
* Removed deprecated classes and functions.
Performing substitutions during post-patch breaks tools such as mkpatches,
making it very difficult to regenerate correct patches after making changes,
and often leading to substituted string replacements being committed.

| Hi Adam-
|
| You will need to downgrade to CMake 3.10 or lower. In 3.11, they revised
| the internals of CheckSymbolExists.
|
| Our macro depends on the internal CMake macro _CHECK_SYMBOL_EXISTS (note
| the underscore at the beginning). In 3.11, they replaced it with
| __CHECK_SYMBOL_EXISTS_IMPL.

What’s new in MyHDL 0.10
The block decorator
Rationale
The historical approach for hierarchy extraction in MyHDL suffers from
significant issues. This results in complex code, a number of non-intuitive API
concepts, and difficulties for future development.
In this release, a new block decorator is introduced to address these issues.
For an in-depth discussion, see mep-114.
API
block() :noindex:
The block decorator enables a method-based API which is more consistent,
simplifies implementation, and reduces the size of the myhdl namespace.
The methods work on block instances, created by calling a function
decorated with the block decorator:
@block
def myblock(<ports>):
...
return <instances>
inst = myblock(<port-associations>)
# inst supports the methods of the block instance API
The API on a block instance looks as follows:
<block_instance>.run_sim(duration=None)
Run a simulation “forever” (default) or for a specified duration.
<block_instance>.config_sim(backend='myhdl', trace=False)
- Optional simulation configuration:
- backend: Defaults to ‘myhdl
- trace: Enable waveform tracing, default False.
<block_instance>.quit_sim()
Quit an active simulation. This is method is currently required because
only a single simulation can be active.
<block_instance>.convert(hdl='Verilog', **kwargs)
- Converts MyHDL code to a target HDL.
- hdl: ‘VHDL’ or ‘Verilog’. Defaults to Verilog.
- Supported keyword arguments:
- path: Destination folder. Defaults to current working dir.
- name: Module and output file name. Defaults to self.mod.__name__.
- trace: Whether the testbench should dump all signal waveforms. Defaults to
False.
- testbench: Verilog only. Specifies whether a testbench should be created.
Defaults to True.
- timescale: timescale parameter. Defaults to ‘1ns/10ps’. Verilog only.
<block_instance>.verify_convert()
Verify conversion output, by comparing target HDL simulation log with MyHDL
simulation log.
<block_instance>.analyze_convert()
Analyze conversion output by compilation with target HDL compiler.
Backwards compatibility issues
In the 0.10 release, the old API still available next to the new API based on
the block decorator.
It is likely that the old API will be deprecated in a future release, resulting
in backwards incompatibility for legacy code. Therefore, users are encouraged
to start using the new API in their development methodology.
