- New: Attributes "needRestart", "mustExist", "isFile" and "isPath".
- New: Display a warning message when a parameter with mustExist or
needRestart is modificated.
- New: In ConfigurationWidget, method selectTab() to select the current
displayed tab.
- Change: In Configuration::writeToFile() and writeToStream(), adds a
third parameter telling which parameter to save. It's a semicolon
separated list of parameter head id. Example: "kite;mauka".
- Bug: In FilePathEdit, do not sets the file/path if the Dialog has been
cancelled.
- Bug: In FilePathEdit, do not uses the native dialog (called by static
methods) when under Linux/GtkStyle as the native widget seems to be
badly linked (bug in GtkStyle?).
- New: Integrate the FilePathEdit widget, courtesy of D. Dupuis.
- Bug: In ConfEditorMain, new boolean switch to allow disable of GtkStyle
which make FilePathEdit to coredump (Linux feature only!).
- New: In Configuration, write methods are ables to completly drive the
XML file (values & layout), selectable through flags.
- New: In ConfigurationWidget, the Apply button is now outside the
tabs. Also adds two modes: Embedded & StandAlone with different sets
of buttons.
- New: In LefExport, export the spacer cells (rowend & tie) to enable
filling in Cadence Encounter.
- New: In DefImport, added support for regular wiring in NETS. Allows us
to import routing from Encounter and characterize it.
- New: In Catalog, added a CatalogExtension static property manager to
allow more easy access to the Catalog::State of each Cell. Do not
uses the default template because of a specific destructor and a
"by pointer" value.
- New: coriolisEnv.py, little helper script to setup the environment.
- New: Icon & desktop entry for Linux (doesn't work yet).
- Bug: In FindLEFDEF, uses LIB_SUFFIX to find libraries on 64 bits systems.
- New: Adds graphic support for Import/Export files (ACM/SIGDA, ISPD04,
ICCAD04 and LEF/DEF).
- New: To avoid buggy database deletion, and also to speed up, now exits
with a system exit. Previous behavior could be acticated with the
"--delete-db" boolean switch.
- New: In Configuration & RoutingEvent, adds support for minimal break length
by layer (METAL1 through METAL7).
- New: Added measures for final detailed wirelength, wirelength expansion ratio,
failed wirelength, number of processeds events and number of unique events.
- Change: In LayerAssign, desaturate until the last two top layers are reacheds
instead of only METAL2 & METAL3.
- Change: In Configuration/GCellGrid/GCell, correct computation of the edges
capacity (based on the numbers of avalaibles layers and not hard-wired to
4).
- Change: In KnikEngine, calculation of saturation is now using the RoutingGauge,
but still uses a hard-wired CellGauge.
- Change: Obstacles are now taken into account for saturation.
- New: In tools.configuration.xml, add default values for METAL minimum break
lengths.
- Change: In AcmSigda, makes the parser an autonomous one, like for ICCAD or
ISPD.
- Change: Remove AcmSigda, Bookshelf and LEF/DEF parsers from the Alliance
builtins. They are now to be used through import/export.
- Bug: In Utilities, the <misc.logMode> parameter boolean parameter was used
the wrong way (true/false).
