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....

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,

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.

New version is the same code but with a newer and less restrictive
license. Also update the homepage.
|
|
- 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.

- enable -Wall when compiling with gcc. Many compiler warnings have
been fixed.
- add a short man page which refers the user to the real documentation
- Added ExecuteFile(file) action which allows the execution of several
actions contained in a text file.
- Added -script <file> flag which specifies a file containing actions
to be executed upon startup.
- Various documentation improvements
- Protect some gcc extensions with tests for gcc. This allows
compilation with the IRIX c compiler.
- Add support for a background image in the drawing area which can
help in importing a layout from a scanned image.
- Updated the ~geda library 150 and 300 mil width SOIC packages
to remove silk on pads and to more closely follow the IPC
recommendations
- Added support for menu accelerators.
- segfault when breaking apart an element with no element selected
bug fixed.
- autorouter improvements
- added more 400mil DIP packages to ~geda library
- fix a trace optimizer bug which produced a segfault
- other various bug fixes

changes include:
Added support for the `default_nettype directine, including the
default net type of "none", which turns off implicit net declarations.
Signed /, % and >>> in nets should now work properly. Also, various
operators of all sorts applied to constants have been improved.
Ranges now work on localparams.
Added the system tasks $unsigned, $is_signed, $mti_random and
$mti-dist_uniform. See the make README.txt for a description of these
system functions. Also, flesh out the standard random number
generators to match the sequences generated by other compilers.
There is now an "sft" file that describes to the compiler the return
value of system functions. This allows user supplied system functions
to have interesting return types. See "SYSTEM FUNCTIO TABLE FILES" in
the iverilog man page. Include a sft file for the system functions,
and move the system functions over to that mechinism.
Fix the behavior of $fgets in tight fitting result buffers.
A variety of compilation environment fixes have been added. These
involve configure scripts and Makefiles.
And of course a variety of other bug fixes, and so on and so forth.

which are the full option names used to set rpath directives for the
linker and the compiler, respectively. In places were we are invoking
the linker, use "${LINKER_RPATH_FLAG} <path>", where the space is
inserted in case the flag is a word, e.g. -rpath. The default values
of *_RPATH_FLAG are set by the compiler/*.mk files, depending on the
compiler that you use. They may be overridden on a ${OPSYS}-specific
basis by setting _OPSYS_LINKER_RPATH_FLAG and _OPSYS_COMPILER_RPATH_FLAG,
respectively. Garbage-collect _OPSYS_RPATH_NAME and _COMPILER_LD_FLAG.

gnetman is a program which currently supports advanced SPICE
netlisting from gschem (part of the gEDA tool suite). The
primary use so far has been for complex IC design. Supported
features include multi-level hierarchy, instance arrays, and
buses. If you're just doing flat designs for PC boards or
smaller SPICE simulations, the usual path is to use the spice-sdb
netlister for gnetlist instead.
The long term goal of gnetman is far greater. Two projects under
consideration include a schematic generator, and a technology
mapping back-end for Icarus Verilog. Basically, gnetman is a
netlist manipulation database well suited for low-level
manipulation of netlists.

* Release Notes for Icarus Verilog Snapshot 20040606
Ports of primitives can bind by name as well as by position. Also
support Verilog 2001 style port declarations for primitives.
System function return types can now be specified by system function
table files. System Function Table Files are described in the iverilog
man page. Also include better system function return types in VPI.
Non-blocking assign of real values to real variables now works.
Properly handle nul strings ("") as 8bit values. This is a weirdness
legacy of XL.
Fix some synthesis problems for logical OR and logical AND. Bitwise OR
and AND were fine. These fixes affected simulation as well.
Handle wait statements with all sorts of constant values. These are
sometimes weird, bug legal.
Handle Negative value reals, and a few other bugs related to real
numbers.
Change internal use of identifiers to perm_strings for better
performance.
Functions returning unsupported types now generate error
messages. Previously, they would quietly generate bad
code. Infrastructure is also added to eventually support arbitrary
function return types.
Better compile-time support for Cygwin vs mingw32.
The ipal target is removed from this source. (ipal is now an add-on
package that is compiled seperately.)

additions/changes since gerbv-0.15:
* projects: you can save and load setups in what I call projects.
* GTK+ 2 support
* Now you can invert a layer by the push of button. Basically.
* When gerber files were defined with omit trailing zeros, gerbv could
parse them very bad. Now it should work better.
* Aperture macros did not handle exposures at all. Now they do a better
work. Some thermals are defined from their CAD program as a sequence of
aperture macros instead of just using aperture macro 7. They are drawn
better now.
* Handles tool tables when drawing drill files thanks to Dimitri. See man
page for more info.
