- Change: Big cleanup. Supress all the GCell level: GCell, GCellGrid,
GCellRoutingSet. Blockages now managed inside the BuildPower.
- New: In NegociateWindow, Histogram of GCell densities in Gnuplot
format.
- New: Parameter "kite.globalMinBreak" (in lambda) telling the minimal size
under wich a global segment will not be broken, used in "conflictSolve1()".
./metis,
./mauka,
./katabatic,
./kite :
- Change: switch toward the XML configuration system. Suppress the need
of a default static configuration (now built on demand from the XML
database).
In Mauka and Kite, suppress the ConfigurationWidget, wich are
obsoleted by the generic XML configuration widget.
- Change: In Configuration, sets the default expandStep parameter to
0.99 (gives better results).
- Change: In KiteEngine::_computeCagedConstraints(), detect and build
a list of segments on which caged constraints are incompatibles
(tearing effect shown in ieee_division). All caged constraints
functions are modificated accordingly.
- Change: In Session::_revalidate(), makes doglegs on Segment with
incompatible caged constraints.
- Mark: vld & ieee_division works.
- 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.
- Bug: In RoutingEvent::Manipulator::forceToTrack(), wrong return code,
was always return true, blocking the explorations of least good
Track.
- Bug: In RoutingEvent::_processNegociate(), must reset the "insert state"
while looping on candidate. This bug was having the same effect as
(and masking) the previous one!
- Bug: In TrackSegment::moveUp(), reset the ripup count after the move
up...
- Change: At various DebugSession opening points, sets the debug level to
200 to avoid extraneous debugging output.
- New: KiteEngine::dumpMeasures() to create a data file for later uses
by gnuplot. In interactive mode, this function is called in the
"finalize layout" stage.
- New: Adds measurments "algo", "fin" & "Segs".
- Change: In TrackSegment, _postDogLeg() & _postModify(), add segments to
"Ring" if they are directly connected to a RoutingPad. To maintain the
"border effect" after a topological slackening.
- Change: In GraphicKiteEngine, in the global routing relateds menus, suppress
the mention of "solution" as it might be unclear for an average user.
(just "Save Global Routing" or "Load Global Routing").
- Change: In RoutingEvent, conflictSolve1() tries to move up "other" blocking
segment before trying to break "self".
- Bug: In TrackSegment::reschedule(), remove from Track segments that are
now in a greater order than the current one. This bug was shown in the
TrackSegment::_postModify() method after a desalignate.
It was causing overlaps and/or routing completion false reports.

- SVN MOVE: Source tree simplification & uniformisation. Now all tools
are at the same level, directly under the root of the repository.
No more "coriolis/src".
