0.25.4 (2018-08-25):
* Bugfix: https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/issues/121
Issue with multiple reads of GDS2 layouts including PCells

Error in cell.fill_region caused by big polygon with
spikes

Libraries have not been reassigned when loading a GDS file
from command line (does not happen on File/Open)

Issue with RBA::QHostAddress (ambiguous overload) on Qt5
* Bugfix: https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/issues/142
Issue with RBA::RecursiveShapeIterator#region=
* Bugfix: https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/issues/144
The Salt package descriptions are not shown with Motif
style
* Bugfix: https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/issues/148
Wrong font is used
* Bugfix: https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/issues/152
Shapes#size reported a wrong shape count in viewer mode
* Bugfix: https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/issues/153
Application crash when editing guiding shape properties
* Bugfix: https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/issues/155
Program freezes after replacing nothing by something in
Macro editor
* Bugfix: https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/issues/157
"Replace cell with ..." rejected cell names with a library
prefix
* Bugfix: https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/issues/158
Repaint issue on cell context
* Bugfix: https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/issues/159
Tech specific macros and DRC scripts were not shown in tech
manager
* Bugfix: 8 bit indexed GIF images can be used for package icons now
* Enhancement: Provide a way to specify the type of a macro
This feature is mainly useful for command line arguments.
If you run KLayout with "klayout -b -r myscript"
it will not be able to determine the type of macro without
a suffix.
You can now explicitly specify a certain type by
giving the suffix implicitly like: "klayout -b -r myscript[rb]"
This will read "myscript" but pretend it was "myscript.rb"
and execute it as Ruby script.
This feature is handy if you need to run a file with a
specific interpreter but cannot modify the file name.
* Enhancement: Selection now shows PCell display names
Before, the internal name was shown for instances
* Enhancement: There is an option in the View menu to show or hide markers
Markers may hide layout under them. With this feature you can
quickly disable all markers and the layout becomes visible.

* 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
cross tile boundaries. The result shape count of tiled
and non-tiled mode should basically be the same then.
* Bugfix: https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/issues/112
Salt package repository relative paths have not been working.
* Bugfix: https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/issues/109
Issues with Python 3 and shape properties - property
* Bugfix: https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/issues/108
Bugfix on Box#enlarge and Box#moved for empty boxes.
keys generated with Python 3 could not be written to GDS2.
* Bugfix: https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/issues/107
Undo not working with shapes.
* Enhancement: https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/issues/106
Search & replace help page enhancements.
0.25.2 (2018-03-20):
* Bugfix: https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/issues/90
DRC: "extended" was not working as expected with "joined = true"
* Bugfix: https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/issues/89
Display issue on MacOS fixed
* Enhancement: https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/issues/85
IDE debugger: files can be excluded from showing exceptions when
they are thrown. To exclude a file press the new "Ignore" button
when the debugger tells you an exception has been generated.
To re-able exception reporting, clear the list of the files
in the IDE settings ("Debugging" tab)
The macro IDE settings can now be edited in the File/Setup
dialog.
* Bugfix: https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/issues/94
Retina displays are support to some extend on MacOS.
An open topic is the quality of the icons.
* Enhancement: build system for MacOS
0.25.1 (2018-02-23):
* Enhancements: build compatibility with MacOS and Qt 5.9.
Qt 4.6 supported now as well with one restriction:
the package installation feature is not working.
* Bugfixs: Package manager
- Remove button wasn't enabled if multiple packages were selected
- A potential crash ob removing packages was fixed
* Enhancement: 64 bit coordinate support enabled on Windows builds

"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.
* Enhancement: KLAYOUT_HOME environment variable to
control the location of the application folder.
The application folder is the place where KLayout
keeps the configuration, macros, packages and
other things.
* Enhancements: Major overhaul of the build environment
- Qt5 supported now
- Employs qmake as build system
- Reorganisation of the sources
- Continuous integration enabled (unit tests
integrated in .pro files, JUnit output etc.)
- Compatible with the clang compiler
* 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
- strm2txt: converts any format to plain text (internally)

with dark background.
* Enhancements: Forward and backward navigation buttons in the main window.
These buttons jump to the previous or next display state:
zoom window, hierarchy depth, etc..
* Enhancements: A Package manager is provided. Packages are add-ons for
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".

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.

------------------------
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.

gdsCAD is a simple, but powerful, Python package for creating, reading, and
manipulating GDSII layout files. It's suitable for scripting and interactive
use. It excels particularly in generating designs with multiple incrementally
adjusted objects. gdsCAD uses matplotlib to visualize everything from individual
geometry primitives to the entire layout.

Unsorted entries in PLIST files have generated a pkglint warning for at
least 12 years. Somewhat more recently, pkglint has learned to sort
PLIST files automatically. Since pkglint 5.4.23, the sorting is only
done in obvious, simple cases. These have been applied by running:
pkglint -Cnone,PLIST -Wnone,plist-sort -r -F

Release notes for pcb-4.0.1
========================================================================
Dear Users,
This release fixes a number of bugs.
Kind regards,
The pcb development team
Contributors
------------
The following authors contributed to the 4.0.1 release:
- Milan Prochac
- Charles Parker
- Dan McMahill
- Sergey Alyoshin
- Igor2
- Peter Clifton
- bert
Please note that names are in no particular order and all e-mail
addresses have been removed for privacy.
User experience improvements
----------------------------
- reorchestrated the closing of the command window to not crash.
- only invalidate the screen after changes to the crosshair or mark are
complete.
Plugins
-------
- none
Exporters
---------
- fix for gcode dimensions.
- added a regression test for the IPC-D-356 exporter.
- added more documentation for the IPC-D-356 netlist exporter.
Footprints library
------------------
- add macro with more programmability for 2 pin axial components. Use
this to add a few IPC-7251 compliant footprints for axial inductors,
horizontally mounted. Use this in turn for the TDK B82145A RF chokes
family.
- add toko category and the 7P variable inductors.
- gen_geda_*.awk were nearly identical to gen_*.awk so add 2 lines to
geda.inc so we can use the same script for everything. Verified that
pcblib-newlib builds with identical results before/after.
- for the horizontally mounted axial macro add the missing bits for
marking polarity on parts like diodes.
- add PKG_RADIAL_MM100 macro for doing more general metric 2 pin radial
packages.
- add some IPC radial capacitor footprints and use those to create some
united chemicon footprints.
- add DO-41 diode package, horizontally mounted.
- add PKG_MTHOLE_GENERIC macro for fairly generic mounting holes. Use
this to define IPC mounting holes for #4 and #6 machine screws with
pan heads or flat washers for both "tight" (board < 4") and "loose"
(board > 4") fits.
- add TO-263 footprint.
- add some notes about m4 library development.
- fix problem in some possible invocations of the generic mounting hole
macro. All footprints pass syntax checks again.
- remove an extra empty attribute which is not needed and causes
warnings in the mounting hole macro.
- fix clearance on the Toko 7P footprint.
- in the mounting hole macro, change the calculation of the pad size for
the support vias to make them as large as possible without actually
changing the copper (the support vias are covered by the main pad).
This does not affect the fabricated board but it does remove some
false positive DRC complaints.
Developer experience improvements
---------------------------------
- allow translators to change number of tabs in message.
- In the test suite, check for a working X display using xhost before
running action script tests
- match() with 3 arguments is a gawk extension. Rework the code to avoid
using a 3 argument call to match() in one spot. Lets the script run
with gawk or NetBSD's awk (20121220). Verified that the generated
result is identical to the previous gawk result using both gawk and
NetBSDs awk.
- change from AC_FD_CC to AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD
- removed the antifork abomination.
- disabled one of the checks used to deal with older gdlib installs on
some linux systems when building under cygwin as the test has
problems. Repairs building for mingw under cygwin.
- when building under cygwin, create a pcbtest.bat batch file that
allows testing the compiled pcb without installing. This is somewhat
analogous to the pcbtest.sh script generated on linux and other
unix-like systems.
- cleanup the win32 build script a good bit. An important change is
that instead of blindly installing all of the mingw cross system root
files, only install a set of listed ones. This not only reduces the
size of the windows installer but makes sure we have a more repeatable
build and know what we are actually bundling into the installer.
- fixed the Attribute deletion code.

3.3.86 03oct17 Added recurse import function (found before only in the hier
search) into the SST.
Removed obsolete bundle functionality from SST as recurse
import more accurately imports recursively.
Made entrybox taller (using -1) as recent versions of
gnome have taller window titlebars and the widget was not
tall enough.

3.35 Tweaks to testing - playing the Kwalitee game
3.34 Tweaks
|
|
3.3.85 06sep17 Fix integer type in GHW loader so integer value changes are
not stored as a string. This then allows bitwise manipulations
of integers.
