- New: In DbU, create a "onCustomGrid(point,step,round)" method to place
a point on an arbitrary grid. That different from the real or symbolic
ones.
- Bug: In DbU, all the snap function where bugged when passed negatives
coordinates.
- New: In DbU, new conversion function, DbU::getPhysical() to translate into
physical (metric) system.
- New: In CellWidget, separate the "Snap Grid" (real or symbolic) from the
cursor position. The cursor position will now be displayed in half-lambda
(symbolic mode) or founder grid unit (real mode).
That can be changed trough the CellWidget::setCursorStep(DbU::Unit)
method.
- New: In CellViewer/ControllerWidget, the CTRL+I keys toggle the visibility
of the Controller instead of systematically showing it.
- New: In PaletteWidget: allow to select the number of rows of the grid
widget (up to "infinite", meaning one column). Allow to hide entire
groups in the widget.
- Change: in CellWidget::DrawingPlane, complete replacement of hard-coded
numeric indexes by the PlaneId enum values.
- Change: in SelectionWidget, filter on the Occurrence name instead of the
path name. Todo: add a radio button to select on witch column we sort.
- Bug: in SelectionWidget, when the filter is active, remap the index
of the toggled occurrence through the filter.
* ./hurricane,
./coriolis/src/katabatic,
./coriolis/src/kite :
- Change: documentation building with doxygen is now optional and disabled
by default. To enable documentation generation run cmake with the
following argument :
-D "BUILD_DOC:STRING=ON"
Or edit the cmake cache variable "BUILD_DOC".
- Bug: correction of the bad keyPress event handling in InspectorWidget
(had to press twice the key for the action to be transmitted).
Uses an eventFilter() at InspectorWidget instead of a keyPressEvent()
overload. The keyPress event is first received by the QTableView then
transmitted to the upper level. The eventFilter allows the InspectorWidget
to catch the event *before* it gets to QTableView (but let pass thoses
it don't want).
- Bug: idem for SeletionWidget.
- Change: do not draw the rectangular area of AreaCommand until it is bigger
than a given threshold (programmable). Affect ZoomCommand and
SelectCommand. ZoomCommand no longer issue a warning when the zoom is
to small.
- New feature: fit to net in the NetlistWidget. Uses simple contextual menu,
another way to avoid overloading keyPressEvent().
- Change: in Query, the filter has now it's own subtype: Query::Mask.
- Change: enhancement for the "start" model of signal propagation, used to
re-implement the DisplayFilterWidget.
- Change: more clear policy for signal emission: a signal must be emitted
by any "setter" method (setStartLevel(), setStopLevel(), ...). Has to
be enforced for all setter (work in progress).
- Change: re-implemenation of the delayed refresh mechanism. No more flags
propaged througout the functions calls but a session mechanism instead.
See CellWidget::openRefreshSession() & CellWidget::closeRefreshSession().
Nothing is actually drawn until the last session is closed.
Session mechanism can be invoked by signals/slots, see NetlistWidget.
- Change: less dangerous key mapping:
'z' : zoom in.
'm' : zoom out.
'CTRL+z' : previous zoom level.
'CTRL+m' : next zoom level.
'CTRL+Up' : back in hierarchy.
'CTRL+Down' : go down in hierarchy.
'SHIFT+Up' : back in hierarchy stack.
'SHIFT+Down' : go down in hierarchy stack.
- Change: simpler implementation of the occurence selection mechanims
between SelectionPopup, SelectCommand, SelectionWidget & CellWidget.
Consistent (identical) names of signal/slots : selectionToggled() and
toggleSelection().
- Change: disable QApplication::processEvent() has it seems to slow down
display refreshment on Mac OS. This may be a side effect of another
problem not yet diagnosed.
- New feature: CellWidget internal state enhancement : now manage an
history of scales (through 'u' & 'd').
- New feature: hierarchical exploration through 'CTRL+u' & 'CTRL+d'.
On second though, what a bad key mapping. To be corrected soon...
- New feature: CellWidget now store it's internal state in a separate
nested object CellWidgetState. The State is work in progress, currently
is store the Cell*, showSelection, cumulativeSelection, selection
criterions and showBoundaries. showBoundaries may evolve to be stored
as part of the Palette's state.
- Change: implement the "start" propagation model signal/slot for
showSelection, cumulativeSelection & showBoundaries. The main concern
is to avoid signals loop. See SelectionWidget::setShowSelection(bool)
for an example.
- Change: supress the minimumSize of the SelectionWidget (200 pixels is a
waste of space when the Path is empty).
- Bug: redraw the palette layer samples whenever the style changes. Uses a
new, more clear model to transmit signals. A star model where the
CellWidget is the center, signals propagate a void pointer which tells
the emitter to avoid looping. First a slave emit the signal to the
CellWidget. When the CellWidget receive the signal it's transmitted to
all slave widgets.
- New feature: ExceptionWidget (derived from QDialog) to display properly
catched exceptions. The Abort button of the Dialog forces the program
to core-dump with a SIGSEGV. The "Try to Continue" resumes the program,
which is higtly to crash anyway...
- New feature: a HApplication in replacement of the QApplication to catch
exceptions in the notify() function, that is exceptions that could be
throwed inside event handlers.
* ./hurricane/src/hurricane :
- New feature: Display support for Rubber, three modes of representation : centric,
barycentric and (pseudo) steiner.
- New feature: ability to generate pdf/ps snapshot using QPrinter. Can perform
an exact snapshot or print a synthetic A4 (choice hard-wired for now).
- Change: display styles reorganisation, recreation of the "Alliance Graal" look.
- New feature: darkening managment at CellWidget level, to allow Extension to
darken when unselecteds.
- New feature: ExtentionGo are now managed by the selection redraw function.
- New feature: Selector set is now sorted by object type, this allow to speedup
the redraw function which will now perform only one loop.
- New feature : remove Hurricane's original basic Timer and replace it with
the one from Coriolis/crlcore. Added ability to get the elapsed time
without stopping the timer.
* ./hurricane/src/hviewer :
- New feature : complete redesign of the drawing refreshment loop. Now there's
a "secondary" loop managed by the "RedrawManager" object which bufferize
the redraw requests. The "_redraw()" function has been made interruptible
at coarse level (between layer).
Important note about the redrawing design : the QApplication::processEvents()
function cannot be called inside the paintEvent() functions/sub-functions.
So the drawing is separated from the paintEvent. The paintEvent() performs
only quick pixmap buffer copy. The _redraw() is triggered by the move/refresh
events bufferized by the RedrawManager, flush periodically the loop event
and send direct (not posted) paint events (repaint() call).
Another constraint is that the displayed Widget can only be painted during
the paintEvent(). Otherwise the painter refuses to initialize.
- Ergonomy : adopt more standard key/mouse bindings. No more CTRL key for zooming
(too small zooms are rejecteds, thresold at 10x10 pixels). Continuous move
is enabled with SPACE+mouse.
* ./coriolis/src/unicorn :
- Reorganisation : Unicorn is now supplied as a separate library. Due to a limitation
of cmake the binary can no longer be named "unicorn" as it conflicts with the
library name. So it's been renamed into unimain (better candidates?)
- New feature : full uses of SelectionModel in NetlistWidget, allow multiple
selection. New option to automatically select Nets from the Netlist
browser into the SelectionWidget (temporarily set up in cumulative
mode).
- Rename : SelectorCommand into SelectorCriterion (file name renaming in
next commit).
- Reorganisazion : in CellWidget, SelectorCommand/SelectorCriterions operations
are gathered in a single object : SelectionCriterions.
- Bug : InspectorWidget was using Record from Occurrences in the SelectionWidget.
but those Occurences were created on the fly by the CellWidget/Selectors.
So, whenever the selection changes the Occurrence may diseapear leaving a
bad Record in the InspectorWidget (core dump).
Now, the TabInspector keep a copy of the Inspected occurrence, so it
can go through any selection change.
In addition, the InspectorWidget could be passed Occurrence that it keeps
local copy along with Record*.
- New Feature : internal, first step toward an extensible ControllerWidget :
now all Tab are derived classes of ControllerTab.
