python*-pth packages into meta-packages which will install the non-pth
packages. Bump PKGREVISIONs on the non-pth versions to propagate the
thread change, but leave the *-pth versions untouched to not affect
existing installations.
Sync all PYTHON_VERSIONS_AFFECTED lines in package Makefiles.
framework. The list of changes include:
* Modify compiler.mk so that "c" is always prepended to USE_LANGUAGES,
so we no longer need to say it in package Makefiles. Packages
should now append to USE_LANGUAGES instead of setting it.
* Create mk/compiler/f2c.mk which implements another pseudo-compiler
"f2c" that may be used with any C compiler backend, e.g.
PKGSRC_COMPILER= f2c ccache gcc
* Teach the various "real" compiler files, e.g., sunpro.mk, mipspro.mk,
etc., to use f2c if the native Fortran compiler isn't present.
Packages that use Fortran should now simply include the line:
USE_LANGUAGES+= fortran
in the package Makefile.
Release notes for the gEDA/gaf 20041228 snapshot
Changes
_________________________________________________________________
libgeda
* Shared library version number now at 22.
* Added a new attribute: symversion= and associated mechanism to
libgeda.
+ The symversion= mechanism allows symbols to be versioned with
a major and minor number. An example of this attribute is
symversion=1.0
+ This symversion= attribute is typically found in symbol files
at first, but it will be promoted if it is found when the
symbol is read in from disk.
+ The symversion= attribute is an auto-prompted attribute,
which if present in a symbol will always be promoted to the
schematic.
+ If the major number of the symversion= attributes (the one in
the symbol and the one in the schematic) does not match, then
a serious warning message is issued.
+ When a user changes a symbol file in a major or incompatible
way (translation, addition/removal of pins/attributes
etc...), the major number of the symversion= attribute value
should be incremented by one.
+ For minor changes, primarily cosmetic changes, only the minor
number of the symversion= attribute value should incremented
by one.
+ If the minor number of the symversision= attributes (the one
in the symbol and the one in the schematic) does not match,
then a minor warning message is issued.
+ The default value is 0.0 even if no symversion= attribute is
present.
* Fixed the randomly colored midpoint postscript bug reported by
Gabriel Paubert. Also removed some redundant code related to
postscript printing.
* Moved a whole bunch of rc routines from gschem/gnetlist/gsymcheck
into libgeda. This makes using the common rc code much easier.
* Added the --with-rcdir ./configure flag to libgeda. This was
required because of the above rc code refactor. You must
./configure libgeda with this flag if you intend to move the rc
files to a different directory. Be sure to put this flag on all
programs (gschem/gnetlist/gsymcheck/gattrib etc...) if you want to
move the rc files.
* Part of the above rc code refactor was to add an additional rc
file: gafrc. The gafrc file is read in last after all other rc
files are read in. Only common rc keywords can be put inside the
gafrc file, including:
+ component-library
+ component-library-search
+ source-library
+ source-library-search
+ world-size
+ reset-component-library
+ reset-source-library
+ default-series-name
+ untitled-name
+ scheme-directory
+ bitmap-directory
+ font-directory
+ bus-ripper-symname
Now you do not have to create a gschemrc, gnetlistrc, gattribrc,
gschlasrc etc... if you are just adding custom component
libraries. Just create a gafrc file and put the library lines in
there.
* Added a bunch of init function to libgeda_init() to make using
libgeda a little easier.
gschem
* Added a dialog box which pops up when a schematic is loaded up
which has components which have changed in a major or minor way
(based on the new symversion= attribute). See above the libgeda
section for a description of the new symversion= attribute and its
usage.
* Hopefully finally fixed the broken postscript problem when the
locale uses commas instead of periods. Original fix by Bill Wilson
and patch by Andreas Fester.
* Fixed a gschem crash when certain components (depending on what
was connected to them) were being updated. I have also started
working on fixing Edit/Component Update... to be more sane (and
not cause duplicated attached attributes). This work is not
complete, and for now, Edit/Component/Update... will still cause
duplicate attributes.
* Fixed some visual garbage/corruption in the preview window in the
file selection and component place dialog boxes.
* Added a new rc keyword "grid-dot-size" which lets you control the
size of the grid dots. Handy if the dots are too small to see.
* Applied the scroll wheel pan patch by Sascha Silbe. The scroll
wheel pans the display vertically and holding down the control key
and moving the wheel the will scroll the display horizontally.
* Added a modal "Are you sure?" dialog box to page revert. This
should prevent accidental page reverts (cause work losses). This
dialog box is only implemented for gtk+ 2.x
* Added an Italian translation by Petrecca Michele.
* Added the comment and symversion attribute to the attribute
pulldown list in the Add/Attribute dialog box.
* Updated gschem with the newly refactored rc code.
gnetlist
* Stuart implemented a whole slew of improvements to the spice-sdb
backend.
* Stuart added several functions to passing the command line to
scheme backends.
* Removed gschem2pcb as an installed program. gsch2pcb is the
preferred tool for going from schematic to PCB.
* Applied a bugfix patch to the cascade backend by Dan McMahill.
* Integrated the initial version of a SystemC backend by Jaume
Masip.
* Integrated a new scheme backend for Eagle PCB. The backend was
written by Braddock Gaskill.
* Updated gnetlist with the newly refactored rc code.
gattrib
* Integrated Stuart Brorson's attribute editor: gattrib into
gEDA/gaf. This is the first gEDA/gaf release that includes
gattrib.
* Here's a description of gattrib:
Gattrib is gEDA's attribute editor. It reads a set of gschem .sch
files (schematic files), and creates a spreadsheet showing
all components in rows, with the associated component
attributes listed in the columns. It allows the user to add,
modify, or delete component attributes outside of gschem, and
then save the .sch files back out. When it is completed, it
will allow the user to edit attributes attached to
components, nets, and pins. (Currently, only component
attribute editing is implemented; pin attributes are
displayed only, and net attributes are TBD.)
gsymcheck
* Integrated a patch by Jim Duchek which adds several more useful
tests to gsymcheck.
* Updated gsymcheck with the newly refactored rc code.
symbols
* Redrew the following symbols and set the symversion= attribute to
1.0:
4000/4002-1.sym 4000/40107-1.sym 4000/4011-1.sym 4000/4012-1.sym
4000/4023-1.sym 4000/4025-1.sym 4000/4030-1.sym
4000/4068-1.sym 4000/4070-1.sym 4000/4072-1.sym
4000/4073-1.sym 4000/4075-1.sym 4000/4078-1.sym
4000/4081-1.sym 4000/4082-1.sym 4000/4085-1.sym:
If you have any of these symbols in any existing schematics, you
should get a warning that major changes have occurred when you run
gschem or gnetlist.
* Added over ~100 user contributed symbols to the various component
libraries. Created 5 new component libraries: minicircuits st apex
allegro irf
* Moved the local component library to the beginning of the search
order.
* Updated Peter Kaiser's asic library with the latest set of symbol.
Added Peter's asic pad symbols into the new asicpads library.
Commented in the asic library now that the symbol names are
unique.
* Werner Hoch has fixed a whole slew of symbols in various component
libraries (74, 4000, and memory). Thanks Werner!
geda (gManager)
* Piotr Miarecki added graphman, a new tool for managing graphs.
* Piotr update gManager to build with gtk+ 2.2.x
* Integrated a French and Italian translation. Not sure if the
translations are work yet.
utils
* Added symbol cleanup (gsymfix.pl) script by Mike Skerritt.
* Updated gschlas with the newly refactored rc code.
docs
* attributes and symbols documents: Added information and details on
the symversion= attribute
* toplevel doc page: Added links to SystemC and Eagle backend
READMEs.
changes:
* VCD output for waveform viewing
- function additions
- needs Python 2.3, 2.4 is OK
* Conversion to Verilog to provide a path to implementation
* Added cosimulation support for the cver Verilog simulator.
- bugfixes
there have been many many bug fixes since the ng-spice-14. Notable
updates include bug fixes in the bjt pole/zero code, updates to the
bsim1,2,3 models, updated hsim model, updates the jfet model and
much code cleanup.
This is a major version bump and represents many many bug fixes and
lots of improvements. The scope is fairly broad and can't really
be summarized. See the ChangeLog in the distfile for a complete
list of changes.
Changes since 0.13:
* Fixed multiline string problems in help.h which prevented
compilation in gcc >3.2
* Moved build environment automake, autoheader, autoconf to a more
modern version (autoconf support is for >2.50).
* Ported transcalc to gtk2.0, which means that the dependency on
gdk-imlib is now gone. gtk2.0 included gdk-imlib natively.
* Corrected some minor bugs related to config file
* Changed speed of light symbol from C to C0
* Modified configure.in to work also with Mingw32 (and hopefully cygwin)
* Added fnmatch.c and fnmatch.h (needed for Win32)
* Added program version number to saved files
* Updated speed of light constant (!) and changed its name from C to C0
to avoid clash with variables in other f iles. Updated vacuum dielectric constant
* Moved examples from src directory to a separate examples dir
* Clean-up most warnings during compilation
* Upon running for first time, $HOME/.transcalc dir will be
created with config file and save file
* Units default values now saved in config file
* Upon exit, last transmission line values remembered in save file
* Made some slight changes in gui setup
* Added coupled microstrip image
* Update manpage
Many many improvements and bug fixes since the last packaged
release. A partial list is:
atlc should no longer fail any test on a multi-processor
system configured with --with-threads. The algorithm used
for both single processor and multiple processor (i.e.
threaded code is the same).
The -t option to atlc, which sets the number of threads
when configured for multiple processors can be set to 0
to use entirely the single-threaded algorithm. If set to
one, it will use the multi-threaded algoritm, but use
only one thread. If set to some other number, it will use
that number of threads and be optimal for the same number
of cpus.
Added some support for gathering hardware data under Linux.
Removed MPI support, as its not working at all.
Changes made to the code to remove the need for a type long long,
which should make the code more portable.
Some changes have been made to the bests so that when
the benchmark runs it should not produce junk for
the hardware information on any system. Previosly
is could create a lot of junk, that was all wrong.
uname is now only called once from try_portable.c
and the splatform specific stuff computed elsewhere
atlc now runs on anything from a toy to a supercomuter! Yes, that is
right. An early version of atlc has been run on a Sony Playstation 2
games console and version 4.4.0 has been tested on the Cray Y-MP
supercomputer!! It has also been run on a very large number of other
UNIX systems, so is hopefully very portable.
An option that was previously reccommended --enable-hardware-info
has been removed. It is now enabled by default, but can be
over-ridden with --disable-hardware-info.
Added a system call to get the number of configured
processors online in Linux. This seems to be undocumented
so it not without its risks, but it seems to work okay on the
limited number of systems tested on.
Someone has done a Windoze port of atlc. Appently it took just 5
minutes, from start to finish. A single bug was found that prevented
atlc compiling, but that was fixed - it needed a left brace removed.
This had never been seen on a UNIX system, since the offending code
was between a couple of #define's.
It has been bought to my attention that bitmaps created with Photoshop
prior to version 7.01 could not be read by atlc. This was not a
fault of Photoshop, but of atlc, so that bug has been fixed.
NEWS for realease 4.6.0 Nobember 2003.
This is a very different from the last release (4.5.1) in
two very important ways.
1) The basic accuracy for single dielectrics has been improved.
Now typical errors are only around 0.1%
2) I have re-enabled the calculation of multiple dielectrics
which were disabled due to accuracy concerns. I'm still not
100% happy with the algorithms, but on tests with a dual
coaxial cable with two dielectrics shows errors of under 2%,
I hope to improve this further at a later date.
This release contains lots of bug fixes and also contains the
initial version of the Covered report viewing GUI (line coverage only). The following is a
description of the changes made since the last development release.
- Ran C linting tool on all Covered source code and updated code based on linting errors/
warnings.
- Modified debug output to show file and line number of code that called the outputting
function (easier to debug problems and useful in error regression testing).
- Started initial error testing in regressions.
- Several bug fixes made to remove segmentation faults and assertion errors in the new
report generation functions.
- Initial version of Covered report viewing GUI added. This version displays line coverage
only at the moment.
- Fixed bug in score command for statement removal (was resulting in memory errors that led
to segmentation faults).
- Fixed bug in report command that output bad verbose information when -c option was used.
- Added new diagnostics to regression testsuite to reproduce situations where original
segmentation faults were found to occur.
- Development documentation updates. No user documentation updates are released at this
time (other than information provided using the -h global option to Covered).
Changes since the last stable release:
- User-specified FSM code coverage. By using command-line options or inline code specified
by the user, FSM code coverage can be extracted from the design. This does not include
the ability to automatically extract FSMs from the design (an ability that will be added
in future stable releases).
- Enhanced performance of the score command. A 3x - 5x speedup in the running time of the
score command on the design should be expected with this release over past stable releases.
- Enhanced readability of coverage reports. The coverage report look has been overhauled to
produce a much more readable/understandable coverage report.
- Several bug-fixes have been made, including coverage number calculation bugs.
- Development and user documentation updates.
- Enhanced regression suite.
Release Notes for Icarus Verilog Snapshot 20041004
Some minor Makefile bugs have been fixed, and source file text
formatting has in some cases been normalized for release. Also,
configure scripts have been factored for a more consistent build.
Fixed continuous assignments to carry strength when needed for correct
behavior. This bug led to subtly incorrect reset behavior, but could
have caused strength modeling errors in a variety of situations.
Fixed some <= vs >= behaviors to be consistent. The results of these
comparisons, when sized values are involved, are more standard now.
Replaced the "hspice" directory with Conrad Ziesler's
"spiceparser". The use of routine AddNTermModule() has
broken the spice input for now, although once fixed, the
results should be much improved.
Also, changed the handling of expression parameters so
that expression parameter results may be numeric, and
evaluated results are saved in the PostScript output as
instance values. When traversing the hierarchy during
redisplay, commands invoking a "selected" element will
pick up the object instance being rendered. The
combination of these changes allows the implementation
of several useful features such as counter-rotation and
displaying the name of an object within the object.
Unfortunately, guile{,14}/buildlink3.mk directly includes it, and I don't
know which dependencies actually need libltdl, so it was a recursive bump.
Hopefully this recursive inclusion can be ripped out of
guile{,14}/buildlink3.mk at some point and bubble down to dependencies that
actually use libltdl, avoiding this headache in the future....
The current release is a considerable improvement over the previous stable
release. It includes 20 months of fixes and language coverage improvements.
For a complete history of changes, see the release notes for individual
snapshots between the 0.7 and 0.8 releases found at
ftp://ftp.icarus.com/pub/eda/verilog/snapshots/pre-0.8
A brief list of highlights:
- Support for advanced standard data types such as real,
- Lots more language support in general,
- Kernel of an extensible, interactive debugger is new,
- More complete support for user supplied system functions and tasks,
including PLI system functions with various return value types,
- Better standards compliance for core system tasks and functions in
general, including some Verilog 2001 file I/O support, and
- Performance improvements in general.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
gsmc is a GTK application that allow to do all the calculation
usually done on a Smith Chart. It permits to make calculation
for network composed by resistor, capacitor, inductance, and
transmission line (also as stub). Network topology is
limited to series, parallel and as trasmissive
for trasmission line. No series connection are allowed in parallel
branch, neither parallel connection in series branch.
Trasmission line can be placed as quadrupole or as a parallel or
series stub, either opened or shorted at the other end.
Calculation procedure starts with setting the initial impedance to be
matched, next network elements are added and tuned to obtain the
desidered impedance value.
The network so obtained can be saved in spice format for other analysis;
current work can be saved for succesive retrieve.
The initial (start) impedance is thought as "the load" so when
adding a trasmission line placed as a quadrupole rotation is
clockwise, going "toward generator"; generator is placed after the
last network element, as can be seen from spice output.
TNT-MMTL, the Multilayer Multiconductor Transmission Line 2-D and 2.5-D
electromagnetic modeling tool suite, generates transmission parameters
and SPICE models from descriptions of electronics interconnect
dimensions and materials properties.
MMTL programs and supporting libraries and documentation have been
under development at the Mayo Clinic since the mid-1980s. The programs
were developed under government sponsored electronics research
programs in the Special Purpose Processor Development Group
(SPPDG). They have been employed extensively at Mayo and distributed
to some government agencies and research collaborators. At the
beginning of 2004, we decided to release the TNT graphical front-end
and MMTL programs as free software under the GNU General Public
License (GPL). Technically, MMTL programs are in the class of 2-D and
2.5-D "field solvers", which convert dimensions and materials
properties into electronic design parameters. The MMTL suite consists
of several programs, including lossy, loss-free, quasi-static, and
full-wave simulators. Circuit parameters are computed by either the
method of moments (MOM) or finite element methods (FEM). Basic
per-unit-length parameters are generated by the simulator, and can be
converted into HSPICE W-element models. MMTL is similar in many ways
to commercial field solver products which typically cost thousands of
dollars.
All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".
The big news is that module instance arrays now work. Gate and UDP
instance arrays have worked for a while, but module instance arrays
were more tricky because of the scope arrys they create. The issues
have been dealt with, and module instance arrays are now supported.
An interesting but subtle set of bugs in the evaluation of ternary
expressions has been fixed. The problems expressed themselves when the
condition expression was constant.
Degenerate wait statements now work properly.
The @* syntax apparently missed sensitivities in l-value expressions
of assignment statements. This led to subtle bugs in carefully crafted
bits of code.
Verilog attributes are properly parsed in a few more contexts. Also,
some specify syntax cases have been fixed.
Some minor spelling and documentation errors have been fixed, along
with assorted compiler warnings.
- distfile has moved
- license has changed. Patches are the result of de-fuzzing the
old patches since the new source files have the new (less restrictive)
license.
