- New: In BuilPowerRails & BuildBlockage, specific support for chip-level
design. The Alliance "top chip" design hierarchical structure is
hard-coded. Top level POWER/GROUND/CLOCK nets must always have the
<vsse>, <vdde>, <ck>, <vssi>, <vddi>, <ckc>, <cki> names.
Specific method to get trans-hierarchical root nets, espcially in
case of global ones (POWER/GROUND). Clock is *not* global.
Some correction in the manner obscured tracks are computeds.
- New: ProtectRoutingPad module that perform a more clean work for protecting
unused RoutingPad.
- Bug: In BuildPowerRails, uses stable_sort<> instead of sort<>, which
causes unexplained core dumps (seems to try to perform a comparison
using the "end" pseudo element). Already occured in Knik, no explanation
other than a STL bug.
- Change: Slight changes in the weights to move up. Now needs a full empty
track instead of a half one.
- New: Parameter "kite.globalMinBreak" (in lambda) telling the minimal size
under wich a global segment will not be broken, used in "conflictSolve1()".
- Bug: In top CMakeLists.txt the SETUP_PROJECT_PATHS was not inserting
X_USER_TOP *before* X_TOP, thus potentially allowing an obsolete
system-wide configuration to shadow an up-to-date local one.
* ./kite:
- Change: In Configuration/KiteEngine, propagate changes in Configuration
in Kite. Note that a *second* singleton is created at Kite level.
- New: KiteEngine::printConfiguration() method to allow quick checks of
the router's main parameters.
- New: ConfigurationWidget to display/sets all the revelant Katabatic/
Kite configuration parameters. To be used with the TabSettings from
the ControllerWidget.
The ConfigurationWidget is bound to the default (static) Kite
configuration, as once it has been run you obviously cannot change the
router's settings.
- Change: In TrackFixedSegment, when the source/target coordinates of the
fixed segment are outside the grid (i.e. the Cell Abutment Box) truncate
them.
- Change: In GCell::addTrackSegment, when looking for overlap between the
to be inserted TrackSegment and Blockage segment, shrink the Blockage
span by one DbU to avoid false overlap when they are just edges connexes.
- Bug: In RoutingEvent::slackenTopology, in the local segment FSM, looping
on the MaximumSlack state. Now also checks the state count.
- Change: In TrackSegment::canMoveUp() & canPivotUp() adds the "reserve"
parameter and uses it in RoutingEvent to prevent over saturated GCells.
- Change: In Configuration, parameters adjustements: expandStep increased to
0.40. Makes RoutingSets biggers but no noticeable slow down.

are at the same level, directly under the root of the repository.
No more "coriolis/src".
