    PyAttributesholder.
* New: Isobar::PythonAttributes, the extension to simplify the
    management of the PyAttributesholder.

Jean-Paul Chaput 9c71ce8a03 Updated doc of the new Python/C++ template wrapper.
* Change: In Isobar3::PyWrapper, C++ exceptions where not catcheds,
    forgot to call exceptionWrapper().
* Change: In Isobar3, remove unused pyToC<>() flavor where T is a
    simple pointer and the argument is also a simple pointer, does
    not make sense.

Jean-Paul Chaput 02777e127e Migration towards Python3, first stage: still based on C-Macros.
* New: Python/C++ API level:
  * Write a new C++/template wrapper to get rid of boost::python
  * The int & long Python type are now merged. So a C/C++ level,
    it became "PyLong_X" (remove "PyInt_X") and at Python code
    level, it became "int" (remove "long").
* Change: VLSISAPD finally defunct.
  * Configuration is now integrated as a Hurricane component,
    makes use of the new C++/template wrapper.
  * vlsisapd is now defunct. Keep it in the source for now as
    some remaining non essential code may have to be ported in
    the future.
* Note: Python code (copy of the migration howto):
  * New print function syntax print().
  * Changed "dict.has_key(k)" for "k" in dict.
  * Changed "except Exception, e" for "except Exception as e".
  * The division "/" is now the floating point division, even if
    both operand are integers. So 3/2 now gives 1.5 and no longer 1.
    The integer division is now "//" : 1 = 3//2. So have to carefully
    review the code to update. Most of the time we want to use "//".
    We must never change to float for long that, in fact, represents
    DbU (exposed as Python int type).
  * execfile() must be replaced by exec(open("file").read()).
  * iter().__next__() becomes iter(x).__next__().
  * __getslice__() has been removed, integrated to __getitem__().
  * The formating used for str(type(o)) has changed, so In Stratus,
    have to update them ("<class 'MyClass'>" instead of "MyClass").
  * the "types" module no longer supply values for default types
    like str (types.StringType) or list (types.StringType).
    Must use "isinstance()" where they were occuring.
  * Remove the 'L' to indicate "long integer" (like "12L"), now
    all Python integer are long.
* Change in bootstrap:
  * Ported Coriolis builder (ccb) to Python3.
  * Ported Coriolis socInstaller.py to Python3.
  * Note: In PyQt4+Python3, QVariant no longer exists. Use None or
    directly convert using the python syntax: bool(x), int(x), ...
    By default, it is a string (str).
* Note: PyQt4 bindings & Python3 under SL7.
  * In order to compile user's must upgrade to my own rebuild of
    PyQt 4 & 5 bindings 4.19.21-1.el7.soc.
* Bug: In cumulus/plugins.block.htree.HTree.splitNet(), set the root
    buffer of the H-Tree to the original signal (mainly: top clock).
      Strangely, it was only done when working in full chip mode.

Jean-Paul Chaput c6e5583233 Documentation cleanup & rebuild.
* Change: In documentation/build.py, more PEP8 & Python 3 future compliance.
    Correct copy of the tools HTML docs on my laptop, to have a full
    offline copy of the doc.
* New: In documentation/contents/pages/check-toolkit, duplicate the doc
    from alliance-check-toolkit README. Seems it has been inadvertently
    removed at some point (?). Have to be careful to maintain in synch
    with the toolkit.
* Change: <tool>/doc/*/SoC.css, use Roboto fonts when availables.
* Update: Commit the whole pre-generated docs (Doxygen, Pelican).

Jean-Paul Chaput dfe4d80b60 Clarify semantic of flatten Collections (walkthrough).
In the Cell/Instance hierarchy, the "terminal" and "leaf cell" concepts
where not clearly defined and partially overlapping. Now, "Terminal" is
the refer to the physical hierarchy (layout) and "TerminalNetlist" to
the logical hierarchy (netlist). The logical hierarchy can be less deep
than the physical one thanks to a Cell dedicated cell flags. Collections
related to the physical hierarchy keep their old names, the one related
to the logical hierarchy are renamed from "Leaf" to "TerminalNetlist".
The name "Leaf" was too ambiguous (leaf for *what* hierarchy).

* Change: In Hurricane::Device, set the "TerminalNetlist" flag once and
    for all. No need set it in all the derived classes again.
* New: In Hurricane::MultiCapacitor, added new parameter "dummy" to
    create dummies around the capacity matrix.
* Change: In Hurricane::Cell, remove "Leaf" related methods, replace
    them by "TerminalNetlist" one, especially Collections. Now we have
    two clear sets of Collections to walkthough the layout or the
    netlist.
      Change the "Terminal" flag into "TerminalNetlist".
* Change: In Hurricane::CellCollections, rename "Leaf" into
    "TerminalNetlist" collections and apply the new semantic to the
    locators.
* Change: In Hurricane::DataBase, Leaf to TerminalInstance renaming.
* Change: In Hurricane::DeepNet, Leaf to TerminalInstance renaming.
* Change: In Hurricane::HyperNet, Leaf to TerminalInstance renaming.
* Change: In Hurricane::Instance, Leaf to TerminalInstance renaming.
* Change: In Hurricane::Viewer::HierarchyInformations, Leaf to
    TerminalInstance renaming.
* Change: In CRL::AllianceFramework, Leaf to TerminalInstance renaming.
* Change: In CRL::Catalog, Leaf to TerminalInstance renaming.
* Change: In CRL::ApParser, Leaf to TerminalInstance renaming.
* Change: In EtesianEngine::AddFeeds, Leaf to TerminalInstance renaming.
* Bug: In EtesianEngine::resetPlacement, move there the loop over
    non terminal netlist instances to flag fully placed sub-blocks
    as terminal for the netlist. Only then remove the feed cells
    from unplaced instances. Previously, the feed cells where stripped
    even from already placed instances.
* Change: In Katana, Leaf to TerminalInstance renaming.
* Bug: In Bora::PyDSlicingNode, allow the range parameter to be the
    Python None object when we do not want to pass one but need to
    have it as positional parameter.
* Change: In Cumulus/clocktree/ClockTree.py, Leaf to TerminalInstance
    renaming.

Jean-Paul Chaput 068740601c Created docker images to check rebuild on various distributions.
* New: In bootstrap/docker, paraphernalia to rebuild and check Coriolis
    for Debian 9, Ubuntu 18 & SL 7 on pristine systems. Added scripts
    to rebuild Alliance as well and perform the alliance-check-toolkit
    regression tests.
* Change: Updated installation documentation. Added a section for docker.

Jean-Paul Chaput 0dc98dfce3 Migrating doc from Sphinx towards Pelican.
* Change: In documentation, now generate the overall documentation using
    Pelican instead of Sphinx. This allows to have an unified approach
    between the coriolis.lip6.fr website and the local documentation.
      So we keep using "only" two doc generators: doxygen & Pelican.
