* Bug: In Hurricane::NetRoutingState::getSymValue(), outrageously bad
computation of the symmetric coordinate when the value was superior
to the axis... (shame on me).
* Change: In Anabatic::Disjkstra::load(), for symmetrically paired nets,
check that the axis of symmetry is *outside* the searchArea.
Otherwise, the two mirrored areas overlaps and the two nets will
unescapably be on top of each other. Issue a warning but still
continue.
* Change: In Anabatic::Vertex::isRestricted(), allow perpandicular
wire to go through struts or thin (less than one routing pitch)
node. May have to recheck in the future and restrict to struts
only.
* Bug: In Bora::HVSlicingNode::updateSymNetAxis(), rescursive call in
child node was not systematically done (bad curly brace position).
Also checks that symmetries are not empty before accessing the
front element (one less core dump).
* Change: In CRL::RoutingLayerGauge::getHorizontalGauge(), when selecting
the default gauge, try, if possible to avoid the PinOnly one.
Same goes for the vertical one.
* Bug: In Katana::TrackCost CTOR, symmetric track axis position was wrong,
was using the reference instead of the symmetric.
* Bug: In BoraEngine::updatePlacement(), set up the Dijkstra search halo
to one pitch so it can use immediately neighboring channels.
* New: In BoraEngine, added python startup hook like in Katana. Mainly
to setup debug nets.
* 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.
