* Change: To allow multiple tools, and not only Knik, to link and use
FLUTE, remove it from Knik and put it at top level.
Bootsrap must compile this new tool and the library must be
included in all CMakeLists.txt depending on Knik (and soon
Anabatic).
* New: In Hurricane::RbTree, template for red-black tree. Standard
implementation but well integrated in the Hurricane database and
ready to be derived (both iterator and Collection support).
* New: In Hurricane::IntervalTree, template for interval tree, derived
from RbTree.
* New: unittests tool to perform unit tests.
* Change: In Bora::ChannelRouting, now implemented with IntervalTree.
There is something suspicious here : the "thick" version of
addWireoccupation() seems never to be called. Have to check the
wide wire support implementation.
* Change: In Hurricane::CellWidget, set the minimal size to 350 pixels
to fit my normal DPI secondary screen...
* Change: In Hurricane::Error(), reactivate the backtrace generation by
default. Seriously slow down the program each time an Error is to
be constructed.
* Bug: In Analog::Device::preCreate(), check for NULL Technology before
attempting to use it.
* Change: In Hurricane/Analog, remove all '*Arguments*' classes and their
Python interface. It was an obsoleted way of passing devices parameters
to the Python layout generators (located in Oroshi). Now we just get
them straight from the Device with the getParamter() method.
* Change: In CRL::System CTOR, add Python pathes for Oroshi & Karakaze.
* Change: In Oroshi/Python/WIP_*.py layout generator scripts, remove
all uses of the "Arguments". Directly access the parameters through
the device itself. Make the checkCoherency() with identical arguments
as of layout().
* New: Bora tool that performs analog place & route. Based on a slicing
tree representation. It is the thesis work of Eric Lao.
Code beautyfication and some programming cleanup.
* New: Karakaze tool, provide the Python base class AnalogDesign used
to build an analog design. Create/configure devices and assemble
them in a slicing tree.
* Change: In Unicorn/cgt.py, display the stack trace in case of an
ImportError exception as well as for other exceptions.
Add Bora to the set for included tool engines.
