Development release covered-20060904 made. This is primarily an enhanced language support release
containing support for the Verilog-2001 'generate' block and support for some SystemVerilog constructs.
All bug fixes from the stable release branch have also been included in this release as well. Some
updates to the GUI (to match changes made on the score command side). The following is a list of
changes made from the last development release
- Complete parsing/simulation support for generate blocks include generate for, if/else and
case constructs.
- Fixed bug in hierarchically referencing items within an array of instances.
- Added -g option to score command to allow the user to specify on either a global or modular
level which Verilog generation to consider for that design. This allows a block of logic written
with Verilog-1995 in mind to use names that would be keywords in Verilog-2001 or SystemVerilog,
as an example.
- Removed "manstyle" type documentation in user's guide as this tool is no longer used for this
project. This change should be transparent to the user, however.
- Fixed scoping/hierarchical referencing rules to match the Verilog LRM properly.
- Added parsing/handling support for SystemVerilog always_comb, always_ff and always_latch blocks.
- Added parsing support for 'unique' and 'priority' SystemVerilog keywords before if and case
statements (Covered doesn't need to do anything with them, however).
- Added parsing/handling support for 'do .. while' SystemVerilog loops.
- Added parsing/handling support for new SystemVerilog data types, including: byte, bit, logic,
char, shorting, int and longint.
- Added -rI option to the score command which allows the user to completely bypass the race
condition checking phase of the score command.
- Added -B global option which obfuscates all identifying names from Covered's output (for use
in providing debugging information to the developer's of Covered).
- Added parsing/handling support for operate-and-assign SystemVerilog operators, including:
+=, -=, *=, /=, %=, &=, |=, ^=, <<=, >>=, <<<=, >>>=, ++ and --. These can be used wherever
their counterparts can be used (including generate for loops).
- Added proper handling of Verilog-1995 delayed blocking assignments (i.e., "a = #5 b;" or
"a = @(posedge clk) c;"). Previously, the delay was being incorrectly ignored which could
have lead to infinite looping of always/forever blocks or could calculate incorrect coverage
information.
- Added parsing support for SystemVerilog .name and .* port lists.
- Added partial parsing/handling support for SystemVerilog 'typedef' usage. This should work for
enumerations but not other data types at this point.
- Added parsing/handling support for SystemVerilog 'enum' constructs. These should be fully
supported with the exception of their built-in '.first', '.last', '.next', '.prev', '.num' and
'.name' methods.
- Added full support of handling Verilog-1995 repeated delay blocking assignments (i.e.,
"a = repeat(5) @(posedge clk) b;". These were previously being treated as normal blocking
assignments.
- Added keyword highlighting support in GUI for Verilog-2001 and SystemVerilog keywords depending
on the -g value specified for a particular module.
- Added parsing support for SystemVerilog assertion, property and sequence blocks. These constructs
are ignored by the parser but should not cause a parsing error now.
- Added parsing support for SystemVerilog multi-dimensional arrays. These are ignored by the
parser but should not cause an error.
- Added full support for the SystemVerilog $root global space -- though limited testing has
been performed with this at this point.
- Added -s option to the report command to suppress the output for modules/instances that contain
no coverage information.
- Updated all user documentation to match changes made for this development release.
- Lots of new diagnostics added to regression suite to verify the majority of these changes.
There you have it. A lot of enhancements made for language support for Verilog-1995, Verilog-2001
and SystemVerilog. Some of the additions for SystemVerilog, especially typedefs and $root global
space, have not been fully verified to work and may still be a bit buggy, but everything else should
be expected to work as advertised. Please submit any bugs that you find. The next development
release should contain support for some more language enhancements, including full support for
typedef and enumeration usage, support for memories, multi-dimensional arrays, structs and unions.
I will also be looking at adding support for bitwise coverage information (for vectored calculations).
As always, have fun!
* 08/30/2006
Stable release covered-0.4.7 made. This release is mostly a bug fix release with two feature
additions. The new feature is the global -B option was performs name obfuscation on all identifying,
design-sensitive names from all output (with the exception of CDD file output). This option is
mostly useful as a way to share debugging information with the maintainer(s) of Covered without giving
away sensitive information. Additionally, the -rI score option was added to allow user's to completely
skip the race condition checking phase. This allows users to force Covered to consider all code for
coverage (if race condition checking is performed, all code considered to be potential race conditions
are automatically excluded from coverage consideration). User documentation has been updated for these
changes. The following lists the changes in this release.
- Fixed bug 1535412. Implicit event expressions (i.e., "always @*") now traverse named begin/end
blocks correctly to search for RHS variables.
- Fixed bugs related to segmentation faults and memory leak issues
- Fixed hierarchical reference search to match Verilog-1995 LRM
- Fixed bug 1538922. If -vcd or -lxt option was specified twice, an incorrect error message was
displayed to the user.
- Added -rI option to allow user's to bypass the race condition checking step in the score command.
- Fixed bug 1538920. Handling of any-edge triggered events (i.e., "@(b)") was incorrectly handled
by Covered. Additionally, fixed the event trigger operator (->) to work correctly with the new
changes.
- Fixed bug 1541944. Command options that require a value are now checked to make sure that a value
exists, and an appropriate error message is output if this is not achieved.
- Fixed bug 1542454. Command options that must only be allowed once on a command-line are now
checked and handled appropriately (caused a segmentation fault previously).
- Fixed bug 1544322. When an AND- or OR-type expression has either a left or right expression evaluate
to 0 or 1, respectively, Covered now outputs correct coverage information when the opposite expression
evaluates to an X or Z value, simultaneously.
- Fixed bug 1544325. Multi-variable expressions are now always output as such in report files.
- Fixed bug 1544169. Avoiding consideration of named begin/end block keywords in line coverage.
- Fixed bug 1546059. Covered now properly handles the removal of statement blocks that cannot be
considered for coverage which also contain parameters from another functional unit block.
- Fixed bug with connection of statements in a statement block.
- Updated documentation to match new features added in this release.
* 07/22/2006
Stable release covered-0.4.6 made. This release contains several bug fixes that are listed below.
- Fixed segmentation fault bug which occurs when a multi-bit select on the LHS contains any
expression besides static values.
- Fixed several memory leaks found with valgrind
- Fixed bug 1520159 - arrays of instances incorrectly always started at index 0.
- Fixed bug 1521598 having to do with reduction unary invert and logical not operators not
calculating correctly.
- Fixed bug in db_read when a functional unit is being merged to point to the used module.
- Fixed assertion in link.c such that no segmentation fault occurs if a string is not found
in a str_link list for deletion.
- Fixed bug pertaining to embedded concatenations within function/task parameter lists.
- Fixed bug pertaining to empty named begin-end blocks.
- Fixed bug in the db_read function that would cause Covered to flag an internal assertion
error if an error occurred while reading the CDD file and the global -D option was specified.
- Fixed upwards name referencing bug (1524705).
- Enhanced regression suite to verify that all of these bugs are properly fixed.
* 07/08/2006
Stable release covered-0.4.5 made. This release contains a bug fix to properly handle cases
where two or more signals are declared with a parameter in their range field (i.e., reg [FOO:0] a, b;)
This caused Covered to segfault due to attempting to free the same address twice. Bug 1518932.
Also contains a bug fix to properly remove statement blocks that contain case, casex or casez
expressions and unbindable expressions.
* 5/28/2006
Stable release covered-0.4.4 made. This release contains a bug fix to proper handle hierarchical
referencing of parameter values. This feature was technically not supported in the past but caused
an internal assertion error when this was performed. The feature is now fully supported.
* 4/21/2006
Stable release covered-0.4.3 made. This release contains a bug fix to the statement connection function that
caused segmentation faults during the score command. Also added support for big endian wires/regs. This
information was being ignored by the parser and, consequently, was not being handled correctly by Covered's
internal simulator, leading to incorrect coverage information. The lack of this support was also causing
an internal error in the memory allocation routine when scoring the dumpfile.
* 4/17/2006
Stable release covered-0.4.2 made. This release contains a bug fix that caused an assertion error in the
binding.c source file to occur. The reason for this assertion was a syntax error in the parser that caused
problems when more than one task call was made in a statement block. Also added support for multi-line
definitions (i.e., a '\' character used at the end of a definition line). This was missing but was not meant
to be missing.
* 4/4/2006
Stable release covered-0.4.1 made. This release contains one bug fix that causes an assertion error when
compiling designs that use a concatenation operation on the left-hand-side of assignment statements. If
you are experiencing this problem with the 0.4 release, it is recommended that you use this new release
instead.
* 3/29/2006
Stable release covered-0.4 made. In addition to all of the features, optimizations and bug fixes
that have gone into the development releases from the 0.3 stable release, the following features, updates
and bug fixes have been added.
- Fixed bug with a statement connection issue that causes lines of code to be not considered for
coverage that should have been.
- Fixed bug in report command where combinational expressions were not being output to match the original
Verilog code.
- Added CDD file viewer window to GUI to allow the user to see which CDD files are currently loaded/merged.
- Fixed bug in combinational logic verbose viewer which caused the window to resize dependent upon
the location of the cursor (this was an annoyance)
- Changed the output of simple combinational logic to change to unary combinational logic output if either
the left or the right expression was a constant value (eliminates unachievable combinational logic cases
from being output leading to more accurate coverage results).
- Removed combinational expressions that contain only constant values from being considered for coverage.
- Updated simple combinational logic output in reports to be as concise as possible for AND and OR type
expressions.
- Removed duplication of information in CDD files for race conditions.
- Fixed bug in GUI dealing with showing race conditions
- Fixing bug in GUI pertaining to the next/previous buttons in the combinational logic detail viewer. Previously,
clicking on one of these buttons would only advance you to the next uncovered line. Now it will advance
you to the next uncovered statement.
- Updated development, user and GUI documentation to reflect the above changes and to bring them up-to-date
with the rest of the tool.
Please see the ChangeLog file for all changes made from the 0.3 stable release to the 0.4 stable release.
Lots of enhancements, features, optimizations, bug fixes, performance improvements and documentation improvements
are contained in this stable release, making it very worth while for any Covered users to get their hands on
it.
* Release Notes for Icarus Verilog Snapshot 20061009
The Big news is support for delay path timing is specify blocks. This
includes delay paths and specparams. Back annotation of specify path
timings are not yet implemented.
The "-g" flag has been made a bit more general so that individual
compiler features can be turned on/off. This for example allows for
turning off specify block support and Icarus Verilog extensions, as
well as select language generation.
A variety of bug fixes have been included.
- Missing symbols on Windows fixed.
- mingw build instructions reworked.
- Fix internal handling of -D__ICARUS__ define
- Fix crash of driver when -M flag is used.
- Fix configure detection of host in some subdirectories.
- Handle non-constant delays of index non-blocking assignments.
- $scanf support for real values.
- Fix scheduling of RWsync vs. ROSync callbacks.
- Fix vpi_put_userdata return value.
The iverilog-vpi command now allows .cpp files to stand for C++
source.
** Release Notes for Icarus Verilog 0.8.3
This is a new release of the stable 0.8 branch. The changes from 0.8.2
are intended to be evolutionary, rather then revolutionary, to enhance
the stability of the branch.
Various simulator bugs have been fixed, including (but not limited to):
- Detect overrun of timescale vs. precision
- Handle more operators in constant expressions
- Various ivl crashes and panics fixed.
- Some performance bottlenecks have been fixed.
- Various tool compilation problems have been fixed.
Also, the internal synthesizer (for synthesis targets) has been
considerably improved. NOTE that the code generators have not been
improved to take advantage of all the changes here, so there is work
yet to be done.
The mingw build process for compiling in Windows has been reworked. It
is now possible (indeed preferable) to compile fully native Icarus
Verilog binaries on Windows with no Cygwin tools at all.
------------------------
Release notes for the gEDA/gaf 20060824 snapshot
Changes
_________________________________________________________________
libgeda/gschem
* Updated libgeda's so version to 26:0:0.
* Fixed the infamous "slice" memory problem that was plaguing
gEDA/gaf for a while. Mixing malloc/free and g_malloc/g_free is a
bad idea and also setting a field in deallocated memory tends to
upset glib's memory management.
* Added a new rc variable called "always-promote-attributes" that
takes a string of attribute names that are automatically prompted
when a component is placed on a schematic. The default list is:
"footprint device value model-name".
* Newly rewritten postscript output to be much more compact, sane.
and support unicode (Mike Jarabek).
* gschem now uses stock gtk+ icons if they are available (Tomaz
Solc).
* Improved the robustness of the loading of symbols/schmeatics
(Tomaz Solc).
* Added support for panning using the middle mouse button and
controlling the amount of pan (Peter Clifton).
* Changed the default behavior of the middle button (now mouse pan).
* Added cursor key panning in gschem and rc keywords for controling
the amount of pan (Tomaz Solc).
* Added the ability to zoom in and zoom out using the mouse wheel
(Peter Clifton).
* Added a bunch of new hooks to gschem and libgeda. This supports
various new features such as auto pin attributes, auto attribute
placing (currently commented out), select_component_hook,
select_net_hook, deselect_component_hook, deselect_net_hook,
deselect_all (Carlos Nieves Onega and Dan McMahill).
* Added support for dragging an object using the first mouse button
in gschem (Carlos Nieves Onega).
* Added the beginnings of pcb mode to gschem (Dan McMahill).
* Improvements to the autosave and backup mechanism (Carlos Nieves
Onega).
* Added support for text overbars. The delimiter character is \_ (it
should be at the beginning and end of the where you want the
overbar to be (Carlos Nieves Onega). Postscript output support for
overbars (Mike Jarabek).
* Bug fixes to the auto save mechanism (Carlos Nieves Onega). Please
report any more crashes.
* Fixed component update to work correctly since it was looking for
existing attributes in the wrong places.
* Converted all the noweb code to just plain C (making sure that all
the really nice documentation that Patrick and others is
perserved). gEDA/gaf no longer requires noweb to build (Jason
Childs).
* Removed all pre-GTK 2.x code from gEDA/gaf (Peter Brett).
* Translation updates from various people.
gnetlist
* DRC2 backend bug fixes and improvements (Carlos Nieves Onega).

visibility (Stuart Brorson).
* Applied patch to handle attrib strings with multiple = signs
(Stuart Brorson and Jeff Mallatt).
* Misc bug fixes (Stuart Brorson).
symbols
* Many symbol bug fixes and improvements (Werner Hoch and others).
* Improved the NC symbols so that the drc2 backend handles no
connect situarions better (Carlos Nieves Onega).
gsymcheck
* Various bug fixes and improvements (Carlos Nieves Onega and
others).
utils
* gsch2pcb improvements dealing with how to find gnetlist
executable.
* Updated to the latest version of grenum (Levente Kovacs).
* Applied power pin handling patch (Patrick Doyle).
docs
* Obsoleted all latex documentation and replaced it with a snaphot
of the gEDA wiki. Many thanks to David Hart for the conversion and
necessary support to make this conversion possible.
examples
* No significant changes.
misc
* The geda (gManager) source tarball is not longer being
distributed. All the code is still in the CVS repository, but due
to lack of maintanance, it has been pulled for these snapshot
releases.
* Fixed various Makefiles to support make distcheck again.
* Lots of bug fixes by (Werner Hoch, Carlos Nieves Onega, and many
others).
For more a detailed changes, please look in the appropriate ChangeLogs
in the source tarballs.

last packaged snapshot. Those are:
--------------------------------------------------
Release Notes for Icarus Verilog Snapshot 20060215
--------------------------------------------------
* Part select of memory words should now work according to
Verilog-2001. This also led to some cleanup of the handling of types
internally, as well as some infrastructure for general arrays.
* Minor fix to parsing of (* *) attributes.
* Fix rounding of reals to integers.
* Clean up some of the vvp engine related to memories. Remove some
dead instructions.
--------------------------------------------------
Release Notes for Icarus Verilog Snapshot 20060409
--------------------------------------------------
the most substantial difference in this snapshot the first signs of
generate support. The compiler now supports generate loops and has
been tested with examples that include wires and gates within the
generate scheme. The regression test suite has very few generate
tests, so any concise self-testing test programs that use generate
would be helpful.
Also, instance arrays that use overridden parameters now work
properly.
Task arguments are a bit more flexible in order to support vendor
(notably Xilinx) models that use more interesting task arguments.
Runtime support for bi-directional ports had some bugs fixed, along
with some other minor run-time bugs. Also, the runtime gains support
for typed parameters. And also, there are some new runtime callbacks
for events and memories.
Parameters had a few types related bugs fixed. They are a bit more
flexible now.
And various minor compilation errors have been fixed. This includes
C/C++ compilation errors fixes, and some configure/Makefile tweaks.
--------------------------------------------------
Release Notes for Icarus Verilog Snapshot 20060618
--------------------------------------------------
Add support for system functions in continuous assignments.
Allow concatenations as arguments to inout ports. This comes with a
small variety of internal part select and concatenation bug fixes.
Fix some bugs in constant propagation through ternary expressions.
Fix broken subtraction if small constants in certain cases.
Fix a few datatype mismatch errors.
Make $readmem give warning when input is inadequate for requested
range.
Fix runtime of nand in continuous assignments.
Fix synchronous user defined primiteves to only follow edges.
Fix a runtime error in some thread delays processing.
Improve limited genvar expression handling.
Start a rework of expression elaboration. Make elaboration aware of
the expression context width when appropriate in order to better
handle expression width and padding.
Fix the make rules for parse.cc to reflect that they come from the
same source. Fix the autoconf.sh to configure the stub target.
Fix portability of the lexor source files on Windows systems. Get rid
of the isatty references.
Make a stub lround when the system version is missing.
--------------------------------------------------
* Release Notes for Snapshot 20060809
--------------------------------------------------
Some handling of real values is improved. Real valued literals are
handled in net contexts (continuous assignment, etc.). Also, modulus
of real operands now works. (This is an extension to the Verilog
standard.)
The power operator (**) now works.
Signed right shift works properly now.
The $sscanf and $fscanf are introduced, and work at least for basic
numeric values.
The release function now works to undo general force statements, and
not just contant force statements.
Delay constants up to 64 bits are supported. This at first doesn't
seem like an issue, but when precisions are mixed, it becomes
surprisingly easy to overflow 32bit delays.
The driver is reworked to pass many preprocessor details through a
temporary file instead of on the command line of a system(3)
call. This prevents confusing and incorrect shell processing of
complex strings passed as values to -D flags.
Various other little fixes.
Changes are:
* Removed all build support for GTK1.
* Dino Ghilardi fixed log.c (the last reminder of GTK1) so
log windows popup don't crash gerbv anymore.
* Dan McMahill added the GCC4 patch.
* Renamed stack_t to macro_stack_t to support darwin/MacOS X
pointed out by Daniel Mack.
* Changed build system to suit new autoconf/automake versions.
Caused gerbv not to find init.scm.
* Fixed a bug so gerbv can handle negative coordinates when using
trailing zeroes.
* Better checking of return values for errors.
* Use setlocale explicit so your locale doesn't screw up sscanf
and strtod to use comma (,) instead of dot (.).
* For distributions there is a new directory called desktop, where
gerbv.desktop and gerbv.png is stored for desktop settings.
Submitted to Debian bug list from Vassilis Pandis for Ubuntu.
since they always need a C compiler, even when the source code is
completely in C++.
For some other packages, stated in the comment that a C compiler is
really not needed.
had actually been ignoring LTCONFIG_OVERRIDE anyway and just using
the default LIBTOOL_OVERRIDE to replace libtool scripts in packages.
This just formalizes the fact that LTCONFIG_OVERRIDE is not used
meaningfully by pkgsrc.
Many improvements since the last packaged version including, but not limited
to:
- enhanced transient timestep control algorithm which is significantly more
accurate than spice now.
- enhanced compatibility with hspice netlists
- named nodes (as opposed to numbered only nodes) work now
- improvements to the bsim3v3 model support
- migration from a custom build system to a GNU autoconf/automake based build
system.
and add a new helper target and script, "show-buildlink3", that outputs
a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.
For example, "make show-buildlink3" in fonts/Xft2 displays:
zlib
fontconfig
iconv
zlib
freetype2
expat
freetype2
Xrender
renderproto
1.5.4 release was something of a toy, QCad was thoroughly reworked for 2.0
and could now be called usable for many practical purposes.
Versions 2.0.4.0 (initially) to 2.0.5.0 have been usable in wip for a bit
more than a year, and so seem ready to import.
"Yes, that should be fine. Please watch the bulk builds for it and
try to fix any problems that might appear." -wiz@
Updates to pkglint now produce some new suggestions, which I will make and
commit after confirming they don't break anything; at least this version I
already know to build successfully for me.
it will live with other "check" targets run after package installation.
Get rid of SHLIB_HANDLING, whose meaning had mutated over the years
from one thing to another. Currently, it is used to basically note
whether the system's "ldd" command can be usefully run on the package's
binaries and libraries. Rename this variable to CHECK_SHLIBS_SUPPORTED
for more clarity.
CHECK_SHLIBS is now a variable set exclusively by the user in /etc/mk.conf
to note whether the check for missing run-time search paths is performed
after a package is installed. It defaults to "no" unless PKG_DEVELOPER
is set.
of PCB. In particular, the core code has been isolated from the GUI code
and there are now both GTK and Motif/Lesstif GUI's available. In addition,
command line exporting to RS-274-X, postscript, encapsulated postscript and
png are directly supported.
In addition, there have been many bug fixes since the last packaged snapshot
release.
PKGLOCALEDIR and which install their locale files directly under
${PREFIX}/${PKGLOCALEDIR} and sort the PLIST file entries. From now
on, pkgsrc/mk/plist/plist-locale.awk will automatically handle
transforming the PLIST to refer to the correct locale directory.
RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).
========================================================================
Release Notes for PCB snapshot 20060321
========================================================================
- Add internal support for more than 8 layers. By default PCB is still
compiled for 8 copper layers.
- Fixed several minor bugs in the GTK user interface including fixing
scrolling of the log window, fixed up some of the DRC reporting
and mm/mil units.
- Fixed several key bindings.
- Updated refcard.tex to reflect the current set of key bindings.
- Fixed some minor bugs which caused compilation problems on some
systems.
- Converted the QFN footprints to hi-res.
- Added documentation to the manual for the centroid file format and
the algorithm used for finding the centroid and rotation.
- Fixed a bug so that the initial layer named 'component' is actually
on the component side of the board and 'solder' is actually on the
solder side of the board.
- Fixed the pin order in the bourns trim pots (~bourns library)
- Added actions and a script to allow command line printing.
- Added IPC-7351 recommended footprints for 0201, 0402, etc passives.
- Fixed SME5 package.

the inline documentation will make it much easier to maintain the
documentation.
- Remove some broken m4lib footprints
- Put the correct setting for the gschem footprint= attribute in []
in the library window for the m4 libraries.
without underscores (REPLACE.*.old, REPLACE.*.new, and REPLACE_FILES.*).
Also convert REPLACE.*.new= ${SH:Q} back to ${SH}, as it should not be quoted
here, if at all.
Ok with rillig.
makeinfo if no native makeinfo executable exists. Honor TEXINFO_REQD
when determining whether the native makeinfo can be used.
* Remove USE_MAKEINFO and replace it with USE_TOOLS+=makeinfo.
* Get rid of all the "split" argument deduction for makeinfo since
the PLIST module already handles varying numbers of split info files
correctly.
NOTE: Platforms that have "makeinfo" in the base system should check
that the makeinfo entries of pkgsrc/mk/tools.${OPSYS}.mk are
correct.
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
major changes:
-supports Python decorator syntax for generators (needs 2.4)
-intbv() doesn't have a default anymore
-many improvements to Verilog conversion
A few new features have been added to allow proper simulation with
newer Xilinx UNISIM models. (They are starting to use Verilog 2001
features.) And also various bug fixes in this release.
-- Primitive and continuous assign delays can now be non-constant. This
needed some new run-time support, so vvp had a slight format change,
and certain new optimizations follow as a result.
-- Bug handling certain constant sub-expressions in concatenation
expressions. Also, allow concat expressions in constant contexts.
-- Support for wide divide expressions.
-- Fixes for stubborn compilers.
-- Fix bugs in padding of signed expressions.
-- More fixes for following the data types of expressions.
- added autobackup (saves to backup files every <n> seconds)
- added "L" drawing support
- added embedded picture support
- added a few new symbols
- added support for spice netlisting of Josephson junction devices
- added pcbpins netlist backend for forward annotating schematic pin
names to PCB layouts.
- several odd bug fixes
- fixes a bug in the cgi frontend for coupled microstrip which caused
lots of bad warning messages.
- replaces the alert dialog box with a log window which prevents multiple
alert windows from appearing.
without affecting packages that are currently using it.
Packages which previously didn't set BUILDLINK_DEPMETHOD to neither "full" nor
"build" now set it to "full", but should be checked whether they really need it
(comment added). Packages which previously set it to "build" now don't set it
anymore.
Ok by jlam, wiz.
Change most pkgs to depend on either
emulators/suse_linux/Makefile.application (normal pkgs) or
Makefile.common (suse91 and suse themselves) to filter out Operating
Systems without Linux ABI support. Use CPU masks to limit the pkg to
supported platforms.
delete the old cad/pcb package. The package which has lived in cad/pcb
for the last few years was horribly out of date and pcb is not making
a distinction right now between -current snapshots and normal releases.
the appropriate tool via USE_TOOLS (usually "gs:run"), and remove
ghostscript.mk. This change removes a rather out-dated file from
pkgsrc and switches packages to use the more compact implementation
of the Ghostcript-handling inside the tools framework.
- Replaced #defined with #none for EXTRACT_ONLY.
- Replaced #defined with yes for NO_BUILD, NO_CONFIGURE, NO_MTREE.
- Removed NO_CHECKSUM completely, as a distinfo file exists, it has the
correct checksums, and I couldn't find even a hint to why NO_CHECKSUM
was set.

Changes are:
Ng-spice-rework-17
============
This is a bug fix release. Previous release tarball did not included
an include file necessary for compiling numparam library.
Ng-spice-rework-16
============
Rework-16 comes out after almost one year of CVS development (from
15-fixedRC3). This release improves ngspice in three ways:
- Bug fixing: most of the bugs that affected rework-15 have been fixed,
thus ngspice is more stable, especially the xspice extension, the
subcircuit (X devices) handling and the numparam library.
- New features: netlist syntax has been expandend allowing for end-of-line
comments. A ".global" card has beed added to define global nodes, i.e.
nodes that are not expanded in subcircuits. It is possible to define TC
for resistors on the instance line. The editline library can be used
instead of readline (no more GPL license violation).
- Porting: ngspice now works (with xspice extension) on Windows using
MINGW/MSYS.
It is more consistent with the tex.buildlink3.mk name. Also, if a package
really needs latex, it just has to set TEX_ACCEPTED to latex distributions
altough today, all TEX_ACCEPTED possibilities are latex distributions
This is the Matlab frontend for the Wcalc transmission
line analysis/synthesis calculator. You will need a working
matlab installed on your system. In addition, currently
only a native (non-emulation) matlab is supported.
Wcalc is a transmission line analysis and synthesis tool. Several
structures including air core solenoid inductors, coaxial cable,
single and coupled microstrip, stripline, and metal-insulator-
semiconductor microstrip are included.
Wcalc can analyze the electrical parameters for a given physical
description of the structure or synthesize the required dimensions
to meet certain desired electrical characteristics.
Wcalc provides several different frontends for accessing the numeric
engine. Currently, there is a GTK based standalone graphical
user interface, a common gateway interface (CGI) for web access,
Scilab, Octave, and Matlab interfaces for maximum flexibility within
a scientific programming environment, and a standard input/output
(stdio) interface which allows a simple interface to other 3rd
party tools which can communicate via a pipe.
The different frontends are installed as different packages for
flexibility in deployment.
This is the library for wcalc which contains all of the numerical
backend routines and models.
Wcalc is a tool for the analysis and synthesis of transmission
line structures and related components. Wcalc provides the
ability to analyze the electrical parameters of a particular
structure based on the physical dimensions and material parameters.
The synthesis portion calculates the required physical parameters
to meet desired electrical specifications. Wcalc includes several
models and places an emphasis on accuracy. Several frontends
provide the user with several options for its use.
1) Simplify the way how an emacs version is picked when no emacs
is installed, but a user try to install an Emacs Lisp package.
Just pick up the version set as EMACS_TYPE than searching for
versions already installed etc. If the EMACS_TYPE version is
not supported by the Emacs Lisp Package, just fail. EMACS_TYPE
be default to GNU Emacs 21.
(In other words, users should set EMACS_TYPE as they want.
Otherwise GNU Emacs 21 is used.)
2) All Emacs Lisp Packages *must* prepend EMACS_PKGNAME_PREFIX to
a) the PKGNAME itself, and b) PKGNAME in its dependency lines.
EMACS_PKGNAME_PREFIX is expanded to "xemacs-" when XEmacs is
used. This keeps dependency graph of Emacs-Lisp-packages-
installed-for-XEmacs consistent.
3) Document EMACS_* variables as much as possible.
4) Provide more cookies for PLIST. Maybe utilized later.
Note that the 2) change doesn't affect the default, GNU Emacs 21
behaviour. So no version / revision bumps in this commit.
Major changes since the last snapshot:
- gsch2pcb updated to work with latest pcb
- pcb library directories default to something sane for gsch2pcb
- grenum utility for refdes renumbering added
- add a few new symbols
- added -p option to autoplace the windows. Useful for scripting.
- gattrib can now change attribute visibility
- improvements to the spice-sdb netlist backend
- added support for printing pictures in schematics to postscript
- added german translation
- fixed a segfault in the geda manager.
change is that it compiles with gcc3 now. Also works with the latest
wxGTK (2.6.1). This still has some issues reading gdsii files on alpha
but it seems ok on i386.
file's sole purpose was to provide a dependency on pkg-config and set
some environment variables. Instead, turn pkg-config into a "tool"
in the tools framework, where the pkg-config wrapper automatically
adds PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to the environment before invoking the real
pkg-config.
For all package Makefiles that included pkg-config/buildlink3.mk, remove
that inclusion and replace it with USE_TOOLS+=pkg-config.

Release Notes for PCB snapshot 20050609
========================================================================
- **** The GUI is now based on gtk2 instead of Xaw **** This represents
a fairly major change. You will now need gtk-2.4 or higher installed
along with any of its dependencies to build pcb. On linux
distributions, it is probably the case that you already have this.
For *BSD, Solaris, and others, you may want to use NetBSD's pkgsrc
to help install gtk2 and its dependencies.
- Flags are stored symbolically in the .pcb file. This is the start
of moving to support >8 layers. Please note that >8 layer support
is not yet available in this snapshot.
- Fixes for gcc-4
- As part of the switch to gtk2, the user customizable menu feature has
been temporarily broken. Hopefully this will be fixed by the next
snapshot. In addition, the loading of background images has also been
temporarily broken.
around at either build-time or at run-time is:
USE_TOOLS+= perl # build-time
USE_TOOLS+= perl:run # run-time
Also remove some places where perl5/buildlink3.mk was being included
by a package Makefile, but all that the package wanted was the Perl
executable.
run-time dependency (DEPENDS) on a tool is to append a ":run" modifier
to the tool name, e.g.,
USE_TOOLS+= perl:run
Tools without modifiers or with an explicit ":build" modifier will
cause build dependencies (BUILD_DEPENDS) on those tools to be added.
This makes the notation a bit more compact.
Several changes are involved since they are all interrelated. These
changes affect about 1000 files.
The first major change is rewriting bsd.builtin.mk as well as all of
the builtin.mk files to follow the new example in bsd.builtin.mk.
The loop to include all of the builtin.mk files needed by the package
is moved from bsd.builtin.mk and into bsd.buildlink3.mk. bsd.builtin.mk
is now included by each of the individual builtin.mk files and provides
some common logic for all of the builtin.mk files. Currently, this
includes the computation for whether the native or pkgsrc version of
the package is preferred. This causes USE_BUILTIN.* to be correctly
set when one builtin.mk file includes another.
The second major change is teach the builtin.mk files to consider
files under ${LOCALBASE} to be from pkgsrc-controlled packages. Most
of the builtin.mk files test for the presence of built-in software by
checking for the existence of certain files, e.g. <pthread.h>, and we
now assume that if that file is under ${LOCALBASE}, then it must be
from pkgsrc. This modification is a nod toward LOCALBASE=/usr. The
exceptions to this new check are the X11 distribution packages, which
are handled specially as noted below.
The third major change is providing builtin.mk and version.mk files
for each of the X11 distribution packages in pkgsrc. The builtin.mk
file can detect whether the native X11 distribution is the same as
the one provided by pkgsrc, and the version.mk file computes the
version of the X11 distribution package, whether it's built-in or not.
The fourth major change is that the buildlink3.mk files for X11 packages
that install parts which are part of X11 distribution packages, e.g.
Xpm, Xcursor, etc., now use imake to query the X11 distribution for
whether the software is already provided by the X11 distribution.
This is more accurate than grepping for a symbol name in the imake
config files. Using imake required sprinkling various builtin-imake.mk
helper files into pkgsrc directories. These files are used as input
to imake since imake can't use stdin for that purpose.
The fifth major change is in how packages note that they use X11.
Instead of setting USE_X11, package Makefiles should now include
x11.buildlink3.mk instead. This causes the X11 package buildlink3
and builtin logic to be executed at the correct place for buildlink3.mk
and builtin.mk files that previously set USE_X11, and fixes packages
that relied on buildlink3.mk files to implicitly note that X11 is
needed. Package buildlink3.mk should also include x11.buildlink3.mk
when linking against the package libraries requires also linking
against the X11 libraries. Where it was obvious, redundant inclusions
of x11.buildlink3.mk have been removed.
