- Bug : the Darwin link editor seems to be more strict, or having a
different policy about implicit static/extern variables. We have
to do a lot of cleanup to avoid symbols redefinition at link time.
We do hope it may solve the earlier bison problem with asimut...
- New Feature : to allow routing reuse, NeRo is now able to build the
abstract of a mega-cell. That is, adds the relevant CALUx and TALUx
describing the interface at top-level.
- Bug : in the abstract generation, the intermediates TALUx metals of
a stacked VIA where forgotten. For example, when there is a VIA34
on top of a VIA23 you must have obstacles in TALU4 and TALU2 but
also a "dot" obstacle in TALU3. "Dot" obstacle are added only when
we process a layer in the preferred routing direction, otherwise
we would create a dot at each routing grid point...
- Bug : the size of the non-default width VIA was not correctly computed.
The result was bigger obstacles cluttering the routing grid and
forcing unneeded detours.

- Bug : the global qualification of a net was independent of the RBox
choice. The bug occurs for designs about the size of the local/
global choice : when the routing is still local but some nets
have a size that made them global. In that cases terminals are
extented (for global routing) outside of the routing box :
in z=3 where z <= 2, which leads to immediate memory corruption.
instead of 12 (sparing trees and not being payed by the thickness of
my production) and changing font to charter since I got tired of
Palatino, sorry Herman!

- bug fix in xsch driver : the VST driver may add intermediate signals
and loon has no idea of those signals after driving the resulting optimized
netlist. Loon then displayed the message -> "signal foo not found in hash table"
and stopped. Now it adds those signals in its internal hash table, and there is
no longer error.
