- New: Path module to provide a ligthweight alternative to boost::filesystem.
The compatibility change in boost was giving more and more touble and was
not worth it. Path is aimed to provides the same services, but with a
better portability.
- New: In PyDataBase, added method for getDB (the correct name, as alias)
and getRootLibrary().
- New: In PyComponent, added support for the optional BasicLayer argument
of getBoundingBox().
- New: In PyEntity, added support for conversion to/from RoutingPad.
- New: In PyHyperNet, added support for getNetOccurrences().
- New: In PyLibrary, added support for getLibrary().
- New: In NetExternalComponents, added support for setExternal().
- Bug: In CMakeLists.txt, when our custom macro "setup_boost()" is used,
do not call find_package() afterward, it corrupt the library pathes
from '/usr/lib/' to '/usr/lib/lib/'.
- New: In hurricane/doc, added documentation RoutingPad, HyperNet & Query.
- New: In isobar, added support for RoutingPad.
- Change: In PyComponent, getCenter() method moved to it's right place in
the base class.
- Change: In PyPath, added duplicated methods (ApplyOn <-> applyOn and
Invert <-> invert).
- New: In MaukaEngine::Construct(), do not try to initialize the slice height
from a model with an empty AbutmentBox. Instead, signal an error (the model
is likely to be missing, it has been initialized from the COMPONENT).
- Change: In MaukaEngine::Construct(), clearer error message when there is duplicated
instances. Show the full occurrence path of each conflicting instance.
- Change: In PyHurricane, add type object for all subtype of Component, then
we can use the Python "isinstance()" function to know the true type of a
component. Useful when looping over a collection of Component.
Name clash: We have used the class name as the name of the constructor
inside the Hurricane module, at a time we where less acquainted with
Python, so the real class are named 'PyVertical' for example, while
'Hurricane' is the constructor function. Should correct this in the
future but it's a huge work as all the Python scripts must be editeds...
- Change: In PyNet, adds the "getComponents()" Collection accessor.
- New: In Occurrence, added method getCompactString() to display a more
compact version of the occurrence.
- New: PyQuery & PyQueryMask expose the Query classe. Only partially implemented,
and with the start of the template based interface disabled.
- New: Complete rewrite of builCoriolis.py & merge with easyChams to provide
a graphical interface. Asides to the GUI, when run in graphic mode all
settings are kept from run to run. Meaning that once the initial setup
is done, a user may completly forget where things are... The new tool
is named <ccb> for 'Coriolis & Chams Builder'.
The Builder is now a module, that is split into multiples files.
The old buildCoriolis.py is kept for the time beeing to ensure a smooth
transition.
- Change: In CgtMain, rename the namespace boost::program_options from boptions
to bopts (to be identical to KiteMain).
- Change: In CMakeLists.txt, the C++ binary is renamed from 'cgt-cpp' toward
cgt.bin, again to follow the same naming scheme as Kite.
- Bug: In PyHurricane, PyTypeViaLayer was *not* reference incremented, causing
the type to be desallocated when the Python interpreter was finalizing.
This was causing <isis> to fail.
- New: In buildCoriolis.py, in the svnCheckout command, if the source
directory do not exists, create it (recursively).
- Change: In buildCoriolis.py, in the svnCheckout command, take the svn
tag version number in account now...
- Bug: In Cs1Candidate::consolidate(), the loop on the conflicting segment was
going one step to far. "i" must be bound to _conflicts.size()-1.
- Change: kite-text is renamed into kite.bin. It features the router only
with a subset of options consistent with cgt (python). Mainly used for
debugging purposes (gdb, valgrind, ...).
- Bug: In Histogram::addSample(), reject the sample if iset is superior
OR EQUAL to the sets size...
- Change: In etc/mauka.conf, sets "mauka.standardAnnealing" to True. Otherwise,
when hMetis (4-part) is not used, this leads toward very poor placements.
- New: In UsersGuide, add a third style variant for the soc-extras site.
- Change: In debian/coriolis2.doc-base, small correction on the
documentation files to include.
- Change: In Makefile.package, crlcore & unicorn now generate
documentations.
- New: Added FreeBSD/Ubuntu patches from Otacilio De Araujo
(<otaciliodearaujo@gmail.com>).
* ./stratus/src/stratus.py
- Change: Configuration is now read through the new python C/API
system. No more st_config.
- New: Added FreeBSD/Ubuntu patches from Otacilio De Araujo
(<otaciliodearaujo@gmail.com>).
* ./cumulus:
- Change: In placeandroute.py, raise ErrorMessages (from crlcore) instead
of deprecated strings.
- Change: In pyRouteCk, the clock grid now systematically covers the core
area instead of only the area where clock signals are useds. This is
to alleviate the constraint of alignement on the pvsseck pads (they
must be in direct regard of the clock grid).
- New: Added FreeBSD/Ubuntu patches from Otacilio De Araujo
(<otaciliodearaujo@gmail.com>).
* ./unicorn:
- New: flag to enable the 'cbug' stream (scary warnings).
- New: Added FreeBSD/Ubuntu patches from Otacilio De Araujo
(<otaciliodearaujo@gmail.com>).
* ./kite:
- New: Makes use of cbug to display the (scary) debug messages.
- Change: Re-enable deletion of Knik in Kite destructor.
- New: Added FreeBSD/Ubuntu patches from Otacilio De Araujo
(<otaciliodearaujo@gmail.com>).
* ./katabatic:
- New: Makes use of cbug to display the (scary) debug messages.
- New: Added FreeBSD/Ubuntu patches from Otacilio De Araujo
(<otaciliodearaujo@gmail.com>).
* ./crlcore:
- New: In Utilities, cbug stream to separate all the scary messages
from Kite/Katabatic and maybe others.
- New: In stratus1.conf, adds default settings previously in st_config.
- New: Moves Python configuration helpers from under /etc/coriolis2
into PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES/crlcore. Adapt Utilities so coriolisInit.py
is now searched in that directory. This way only true configuration
files remains under /etc/coriolis2
- Change: In helpers/__init__.py, do not try to guess the sysConfDir
when not run through coriolisInit.py. This is done by exploring the
call stack with traceback.
- Change: In ApDriver, when a physical view is driven, update the flag
in the catalog state telling that this view is present. This is far
from satisfactory as this flag should be set as soon as any physical
component is created.
