* New: Isobar::PyAttributesHolder, a PyObject with only a dictionary
to hold the attributes associated to a DBo.
* New: Isobar::PyHolderProperty, the Property that encapsulate
PyAttributesholder.
* New: Isobar::PythonAttributes, the extension to simplify the
management of the PyAttributesholder.
* Change: In PyEntity, now use a dedicated tp_getattro and tp_setattro
to delegate the Python attribute access towars the PyAttributesholder.
* New: In hurricane/doc & documentation, update docs regarding Python
attributes managment.
* 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).
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.
* 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.
* 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.
