* New: In hurricane/configuration, the Python/C template wrapper has
now all the needed features to mass-migrate Hurricane and the
ToolEngines.
The new Hurricane module is named Hurricane3 so it does not
collides with the old one which is still used. Will do the
same for all ToolEngines Python wrappers until migration is
complete.
* New: In unittests/python/, create very basic unit tests for the
Configuration & Hurricane new template wrapper.
Note: It is almost impossible to use valgrind on them because
it doesn't recognize correctly Python allocation mechanism.
To make it work, both valgrind & Python needs to be
recompiled with special options...
* Change: In CRL/helpers, cumulus/plugins, oroshi & karakaze,
Move towards more Python PEP8 compliance:
* All indentations sets to 4 spaces (in progress).
* In plugins, remove messages about software collections
and RHEL (too many case could wrongly lead to that).
Instead systematically uses "helpers.io.catch()".
* Put in lowercases all modules names. Note that C++ exported
modules *keep* their Capitalized names (to preserve the
identity with the C++ namespace).
* When making import, use full path.
* Rename the run function from "ScriptMain()" to "scriptMain()".
* Cleanup: In CRL/etc, remove obsoleted configuration files,
the one ending in ".conf". Keep those who have not been ported
to the new style yet.
* New: In Hurricane/src/configuration, first trial at replacing the
C preprocessor macros by C++ templates. Applied first to configuration
from VLSISAPD.
This is unfinished business, just a limited demonstrator for now.
It is installed as a separate Python library "Cfg2" which do not
interact with the rest of Coriiolis.
The end goal is to fully remove boost and merge VLSISAPD useful
components directly inside Hurricane.
