* New: Interval::CompareByMinMax, lexicographical comparison of
Intervals, first compare the lower bound (VMin) then the
upper bound (VMax). Needed for IntervalTree.
* Change: In IntervalTree, the key comparison was only based on
the lower bound (VMin). That means that the tree would accept
only one interval for a given VMin. You couldn't store both
[1:4] and [1:5]. Now use CompareByMinMax that allows it.
* New: In Component, typedef ComponentSet (set sorted on Ids).
* New: CellWidget::selectSet() & CellWidget::unselectSet() select/unselect
a whole set of component.
* New: Tramontana::Equipotential, implemented.
* Change: Tramontana::Tile, add UnionFind capabilities and Equipotential
attribute.
* New: Tramontana::SweepLine, build upon Hurricane::IntervalTree,
can now perform a "one layer only" extraction (checked with "metal1").
* Change: In bootstrap, FindBootstrap.cmake, ccb (builder) & socInstaller,
suppress the "--qt5" argument as it the default now. Create a "--qt4"
to force building against the old one.
* Change: In bootstrap/cmake_modules/FindBootstrap.cmake, add a
"-Wl,--no-undefined" to the C++/ld flags to force checking of
undefined symbol at link time.
* In bootstrap/coriolisEnv.py, under WSL it seems that setting up the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH makes the linker to ignore /etc/ld.so.conf.
To avoid that, use ldconfig to import all the known paths into
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
* New: In cumulus.designflow: add yosysnp to manage Yosys without
Python support enabled.
Add klayout support for running scripts in batch mode.
Add generic system command support.
* Change: In cumulus.designflow.task.TaskFlow, systematically
convert pathes (str) into pathlib.Path in targets and depends.
* New: In cumulus.designflow.clean.Clean, add cleaning by glob.
* Change: In cumulus/plugins/__init__.py, new behavior for loading
plugins supplied as third party. In order to avoid messing up
with the "site-packages/coriolis/" main package tree (with
modules named "coriolis.<MODULE>", they have to be under
"site-packages/addons/coriolis/" (so modules will be named
"addons.coriolis.<MODULE>"). This should prevent *overwritting*
standard modules by third party ones.
Now uses pathlib for module loading.
Had a conflict between Hurricane.Path and pathlib.Path, now do
not import the Hurricane one into the module globals...
* Move all Python stuff under a common Python namespace "coriolis".
* Instead of having a series subtrees for each tool, integrate
everything in one common tree. So now, all components can be
located either with an absolute path from "coriolis" or, inside
cross-reference themselves through relatives imports.
* As a consequence, we only need to add ".../site-packages/coriolis/"
to the PYTHONPATH, and not a whole bunch of subdirectories.
And nothing, if installed in-system.
* The tree of free technologies configuration files is also moved
below "coriolis/technos" instead of "/etc".
* Supressed "cumulus" level for the plugins.
* All python modules are rewritten using relative imports except
for the configuration files that uses absolute import as they
can be cloned outside of the tree to serve as templates.
* Change: In boostrap/FindPythonSitePackages, include "/coriolis" in
Python_CORIOLISARCH and Python_CORIOLISLIB.
Provide a Python_SITELIB *without* "/coriolis" appended.
* Change: In cumulus/plugins/__init__.loadPlugins(), must prefix modules
read in the plugins directory by "coriolis.plugins.". No longer need
to add their path to sys.path.
* Change: In crlcore/python/technos/nodeX/*/devices.py, the scripts of
the layouts generators must be prefixed by "coriolis.oroshi.".
* Change: In CRL::System CTOR, no longer add the pathes of the various
plugins to sys.path. Only "site-packages/coriolis/".
* New: In Utilities::Path::toPyModePath(), new method to convert a
filesystem path into a python module path.
Examples:
"coriolis/plugins/block" --> "coriolis.plugins.block".
"coriolis/plugins/rsave.py" --> "coriolis.plugins.rsave".
* Change: In katanaEngine::_runKatanaEngine(), rename the hook script
initHook.py. No longer need to modify sys.path.
* Change: In BoraEngine::_runBoraEngine(), rename the hook script
initHook.py. No longer need to modify sys.path.
* Change: In UnicornGui::_runUnicornInit(), rename the hook script
initHook.py. No longer need to modify sys.path.
* Change: In cumulus.plugins.chip.constants, put the constants
outside __init__.py to avoid a loop at initialization.
