* New: In Hurricane::Entity, add an id counter limit and a memory size
limit. The two limits are checked only when a new Entity object is
created. This should help avoiding massive memory links.
* New: In CRL Core, add a "crlcore.groundName" and a "crlcore.powerName"
parameter to specify the name of the ground/power signals to be
created if they are missing in a Cell. For Alliance libraries it
would be "vss" & "vdd" (default values), but for real technologies,
it is often "gnd!" & "vdd!".
The Blif parser is modificated to make use of it.
* Bug: In AnabaticEngine::unify(), set the resulting unified segment in
the center of the GCells common side. Gcells under a segment are
found by using the edge that cover the segment axis. When we have
a "bend" GCell stack and the axis is wrong, they could be ommited.
This was causing deleted segments to be not removed from some
Edges, then core dump.
* Change: In Anabatic::AutoSegment::create(), smarter choosing of the
reference contact, select the fixed or terminal one instead of
always the source one.
* New: In Anabatic::Edge::isEnding(), new function to check if a
segment going through an Edge is starting/ending in either source
or target GCell of the edge (active only when running in channel
mode).
* New: In Anabatic::Edge::add(), a segment takes part in the occupancy
only if it is not ending in either source or target (channel mode
only). The occupancy due to terminal is pre-computed in Katana.
* New: In Anabatic::Edge::ripup(), in channel mode, never ripup a
segment which is ending in either source or target (we *have* to
access this edge to connect to the terminal).
* Bug: In Anabatic::GCell::hcut() and vcut(), force the update of
the Edge which is on the side that will get splitted by the cut.
It's capacity will be reduced to it must be updated.
* Change: In Anabatic::GCell::updateGContacts() add a flag to conditionnally
update horizontals or verticals only. We may require only a partial
update when resizing the GCell in only one direction.
This, again, related to the fact that we compute the GCells under
a segment thanks to it's axis position, so we need to be very careful
when modificating axis.
* Change: In Katana::Block::resizeChannels(), only update GContact vertical
position. Do not disturb X positions of segments.
* Bug: In Katana::GlobalRoute::DigitalDistance, in channel mode, some
Edges can have a zero capacity, but still be reachable if the net has
a terminal in either source or target. Look for this case and return
a distance of zero instead of "unreachable". This was causing the
global routing not to complete in channel mode.
For computing the edge distance, makes the vertical edges much more
long (10 times) than the horizontal ones as the vertical capacity is
very limited. Hard coded for now, should make it a parameter in the
future.
* Change: In KatanaEngine::annotateGlobalGraph(), decrease the capacity
of edges with reserveCapacity for each terminal inside a GCell.
Both north and south edges are decreased as we a terminal will
block both north and south edges.
As a counterpart, the Edge capacity is not decreased when the
global router connect to a terminal.
* Change: In Katana::RoutingEvent::revalidate(), when in repair stage,
do not expand the slack for horizontal segments in channel mode.
So they may not overlap the standard cell row.
* Bug: In Stratus documentation, do not use the french option in babel,
the documentation is in english!
* New: In Documentation, added Hurricane/Python tutorial, part for drawing
layout.
* New: In Anabatic::Edge::ripup(), sort edges to ripup by decreasing
length so the longest gets riped up first.
In two metals mode, ripup all segments *except* those who have
terminal contact in the GCell, because they must use it anyway.
* Bug: In Anabatic::GCell::getEdgeAt(), the size hint flag was not
correctly selected, leading to the use of an edge in the wrong
side. So deleted segments where not deleted from their edges,
leading to core dump. Don't understand how it can have not shown
until now.
* New: In KatanaEngine::annotateGlobalGraph(), for two metal gauges,
decrease the edge capacity on both north and south side for each
terminal in the GCell. As a terminal must be accessed through
north or south it blocks the whole vertical track (hence both
edges).
* Bug: In Anabatic::AutoHorizontal::_makeDogleg(), do not take into
account dragging constraints from perpandiculars if the terminal
is from a analog Device. We can never drag over it as it is
forbidden.
Same modification for AutoVertical.
* Bug: In AnabaticEngine::loadGlobalRouting(), call relaxOverconstraineds()
only if we are *not* in two-metal mode.
* Bug: In NetBuilder::construct(), allow any number of globals (up to 6)
when in two-metal mode. Should be sufficent for now.
* New: In AnabaticEngine, new method _updateGContacts() to re-compute
the positions of the global routing contacts *after* a GCell
resize.
* Bug: In Katana::Block::resizeChannels(), must call _updateGContacts()
after the resize to properly shift their positions.
* Bug: In Anabatic::AutoSegment::computeOptimal(), the "side stack"
computing the intersection of all the sides of the GCell that the
segment is going through was implicitly supposing that the
resulting intersection wasn't empty. But for analog segment, we
compute the position of all the segments linked though simple
doglegs, and as dogleg occurs there can be a sufficient shift
so the intersections of all the sides became empty.
Now the "side stack" can manage configuration when instead
of having an intersection we have a "hole" in the GCell side
span (only one hole is supported at the moment). When a hole
is present, the optimal position is the center of the hole.
Should be refined so that the position is computed according
to the longest GCell that we go through.
* Change: In Katana::SegmentFsm::_slackenGlobal(), when slackening
a global from a ananlog net, allow to make a dog leg once
instead of immediately moving up. The break point is the center
of the segment.
* Change: In Katana::Manipulator::Makedogleg(DbU::Unit) if the break
position is over a device, choose the left of right GCell.
* New: In Anabatic::EdgeCapacity, dedicated object to manage the capacities
of an edge by layer. This needed now because with real technologies
layers capacities differs (unlike with symbolic technologies).
This object is separated to be shared between Edges with identical
characteristics (direction+interval). Deletion is automatic and
done through refcounting. All the already allocateds EdgeCapacity
are kept into a set in the AnabaticEngine (key is (direction,interval)).
* New: In Anabatic::Edge, capacities are stored in a shared EdgeCapacity
object. The total capacity can be annotated (i.e. decreased).
EdgeCapacity attribute is created during the materialize() call.
The capacities are computed at this time.
The incCapacity() function is renamed in reserveCapacity().
* New: In Anabatic::AnabaticEngine, added attribute _edgeCapacitiesLut
to store the shared EdgeCapacity.
Lookup/Creation of an EdgeCapacity is done through _createCapacity().
* Change: In Anabatic::Constants, rename Flags::IllimitedCapacity into
Flags::InfiniteCapacity. Add Flags::NullCapacity (both for Edges).
* Change: In Anabatic::GCell, implement a by depth (for layer) getCapacity().
This modification did expose a bug in the density calculation :
per depth density where divided by the complete density instead of the
density's depth. This was leading to greatly underestimated densities.
Thoses underestimations where preventing Dijkstra and layer assignement
to manage congestion correctly (in fact, it was acting as if there
never was congestion).
Also avoid a divide by zero (thus -NAN showing in densities).
* Change: In Anabatic::GCell, rename setEdgeOccupancy() into the more
accurate forceEdgesCapacities().
Note for Eric: only the first Edge on each side has it's capacity
forced. What if there's more than one Edge ?
* New: In Commons, inspector support for std::pair<T,U>.
* New: In Hurricane::Layer, ContactLayer & ViaLayer, support for non
square VIAs. The hole (cut) remains square, but the various metal
extensions can now be different in X and Y. The ::getEnclosure()
method now takes a flag EnclosureH / EnclosureV.
* New: In Hurricane::DbU, inspector support for:
std::pair<DbU::Unit,DbU::Unit>
std::array<DbU::Unit,3>
Must be defined here as DbU do not exists yet in Commons.h
* Bug: In Hurricane::Interval::getSize(), when the interval is "full span",
do not return the difference between min and max, but directly DbU::Max.
(the previous result was -1 !)
* New: In CRL Core Python/Technology.py, support for non square VIAs in
the configuration files. Applied to FreePDK 45.
* New: In CRL::RoutingGauge, added a "symbolic" flag to tell if a gauge
is for symbolic layout or not. Exported to Python.
* New: In Anabatic::AutoHorizontal::updatePosition(), differentiated
computation for soure or target taking account of the VIA extension
in the right segment metal (due to non-square VIAs).
* Change: In Anabatic::AutoHorizontal::_makeDogleg(), the dogleg is
UP for HV gauges and DOWN for VH.
* New: In Anabatic::AutoSegment::_initialize(), create a cache of the
various extension length for each layer (viaToTop, viaToBottom,
viaToSame).
New implementation of getExtensionCap() using the previous cached
extension table. See updatePositions().
New static functions to access the extension cache in the header:
getViaTotopCap() ...
* Change: In Anabatic::AutoSegment, in various update methods, updateOrient()
must always be called *before* updatePositions() as extensions are
dependant on source/target.
* New: In Anabatic::AutoSegment::getEndAxes() compute the position of the
first source and last target position (center/axes) on an *aligned*
set of segments.
* New: In Anabatic::AutoSegment, add a new state flag SegAxisFixed to
signal segments that can be put on only one track. Specific case
to VH gauge for a M1 vertical terminal with a M2 vertical segment.
The M2 is effectively bound to the M1 axis position.
* Bug: In Anabatic::NetBuilderVH::_do_xG_xM1_xM3(), in case of E/W global
and only one RoutingPad the connexion to the RoutingPad was duplicated.
It was valid, but totally stupid.
* Bug: In Anabatic::Session::_canonize(), for an aligned segment set,
intersect the user constraints from all segments instead of only
considering the canonical one.
Issue a warning about too tight constraints only for symbolic
gauges. It may be correct for the real ones.
* New: In Katata::DataNegociate::update(), more accurate computation
of the perpandicular free interval. Use segment extension cap
calculation. Create a special case for fixed axis segments allowing
them to find alternative free interval, try under source and under
target as they are likely to be draggable segments.
* Change: In Katana::Manipulator::relax(), use the extension cap value
to compute the axis of the perpandicular segemnts.
* Change: In Katana::Manipulator::moveUp(), now move up the whole set
of aligned segments instead of just the canonical one.
* Change: In Katana::NegociateWindow::loadRoutingPads(), more accurate
TrackMarkers insertions for fixed terminals.
* New: In Katana::RoutingEvent::Key::Compare::operator(), segments with
fixed axis are processed prior to any others.
* New: In Katana::RoutingEventLoop, store segment pointers instead of
ids to generate more accurate error messages.
* Change: In Katana::RoutingPlane::create(), perform local track
assignment only for HV gauges.
* Change: In Katana::SegmentFsm::_slackenLocal(), add a "dragMinimize"
step in the automaton. Mutliple states transitions can occurs in
a row if an action fails.
* New: In Katana::Session::_toIntervalAxis(), normalize interval
bounds so they are on track positions (by shrinking the interval).
* Bug: In Katana::TrackMarker CTOR, the weigh computation was wrong.
* New: In Anabatic & Katana, add the new "drag" feature.
With VH gauges used by real technologies (M1-H, M2-V, M3-H) a new
routing configuration that was not efficiently handled did appear.
While the preferred routing direction for metal1 is officially
horizontal, due to the way the standard cell must be designed,
their metal1 terminals are still verticals (or punctuals).
Thus, when connecting to them, we face the case where the metal1
terminal (RoutingPad) is vertical *and* the metal2 wire is also
vertical. With that setup, the position of the AutoContactTerminal
via12 cannot be deduced, it may range all the way over the
metal1 RoutingPad. What may define it's position is the metal3 the
metal2 finally connects to. That, is, when we have one horizontal
(the metal3) and one vertical (the metal1 RoutingPad).
The intermediate wire of metal2 can be kept to a minimum size
by "dragging" the via12 close to the via23 when the metal3 wire is
moved.
* New: In Anabatic & Katana, problem of closely vertically aligneds
RoutingPads in metal1 is managed first in PreProcess by restricting
the span of the connecteds metal3 and in _makeDogleg also by restricting
the span even more tightly (to the RoutingPad itself).
* New: In Anabatic::AutoContactTerminal, add the "drag" support.
Automatically check if the connecting segment is in the same
direction as the RoutingPad, if so, sets the "SegDrag" flag.
The dragging state can be known with the "::canDrag()" predicate.
* New: In Anabatic::AutoHorizontal, add the "drag" support.
The drag state can be known with the "::isDrag()" predicate.
In "::_makeDogleg()", when making a dogleg on a dragable segment
pass the drag state correctly and restrict the perpandicular span
of the perpandicular to the RoutingPad (though segment user constraints).
If we make a dogleg on the metal2 is it likely than we cannot go
straigth out vertically from the RoutingPad, so the new perpandicular
*is* restricted to the RoutingPad span.
Idem for AutoVertical.
* New: In Katana::Manipulator, add method "::dragMinimize()" which find a
hole where to minimize a draggable segment. We finally did not use it,
but keep it for potential further use.
* New: In Katana::PreProcess, adds a "protectAlignedaccesses()" local
function to check for vertically aligned metal1 RoutingPads, in that
case setup user constraints on the metal3 segments so they cannot
completly cover the other RoutingPad with metal2.
We also keep a "metal2protect()" function that create a fixed segment
to lock/protect a RoutingPad. Not used for now.
* New: In Katana::Session, add a RoutingPad locking event mechanism.
This allows us to request the creation of a locking (fixed segment)
over a draggable segment. Not used for now.
Lock events are processeds before all others as they create new
TrackElements.
* New: In Katana::Track, "::getNextFree()" and "::getPreviousFree()"
method to find the nearest free interval in a Track after/before a
position.
* Bug: In Anabatic::AutoHorizontal::getConstraints(), merge with user
constraints *only* if it's not an empty interval (as we use min/max
functions). Idem for AutoVertical.
* Bug: In AutoSegments_OnContacts::Locator::isValid(), the boolean test
must be inverted. Seems it never worked, but we never used it until
now...
* Bug: In Etesian::setDefaultAb(), the abutment box was miscalculated,
it was always square.
* Bug: In Etesian::_postCreate(), improper loading of filler cells.
Now we first try to find in memory (DataBase::getCell()) and if
not found try to use the AllianceFramework loader.
This is not a clean strategy. We should have something more
clear.
* Change: In Anabatic::GCell::doGrid(), remove the "3 slice height"
limit (for small digital analog blocs).
* Bug: In Anabatic::NetBuilder::setStartHook(), perform a check for
a RoutingPad still on a Plug. Diplay an error instead of crashing.
* Bug: In CRL::RoutingLayerGauge::getTrackIndex(), the upper bound
of the track interval must be included instead of excluded.
* New: In Hurricane::Cell, add a StayOnPlugs flags for flattenNets().
To keep the RoutingPad occurrences on Plug instead of selecting
physical components.
* New: In Isobar::PyNet, add setAutomatic() and isAutomatic() to the
interface.
* Bug: In Katana::protectRoutingPads(), do not create protections on
PinOnly layers (mostly metal1).
* Bug: In Katana::PreProcess::protectCagedTerminals(), the contacts of
the fixed segment must be fixed too.
* Change: In Katana::RoutingPlane constructor, more accurate computation
of the extensionCap (for real technologies).
* Bug: In Katana::DataNegociate::update(), the perpandicular free
interval must be shrunk of the extensionCap of the perpandicular
layer. This problem did show with metal1 "half-offgrid" terminals.
* Change: In Katana::runGlobalRouter(), increase the number of ripup
passes to ten. Display the overloaded edges and the related nets.
* Change: In Anabatic::AutoContactTerminal::getNativeConstraintBox(),
when the anchor is a RoutingPad (which must be always the case),
perform the true computation of it's position based on the
segment occurrence. It is a important change, previously the
area was in fact the "center line" of the connector while now
it is really an area (mandatory for "half-offgrid" terminals of
real technologies).
The change is not complete yet, the area should be shrinked
by the half size of a VIA, because the area applies to the center
coordinate of the VIA (to be done quickly).
* Bug: In Anabatic::AutoContactTurn::updateTopology(), when a dogleg
is created (restore connexity after a layer change) the layer of
the VIA, based on the segments it connects to must be re-computed
*after* the dogleg has been made.
* Change: In all files of Anabatic, when comparing two layers, no longer
use the Layer pointer itself, but the layer mask. This allow a
transparent management of both real and symbolic layers (which
do share the same mask). Real metal layers (not VIAs) will be
BasicLayer and symbolic metal layers will be RegularLayer.
* New: Anabatic::Configuration::selectRpComponent(), select the best
RoutingPad component for metal1 terminals. Look for the metal1
component with the biggest accessibility on-grid.
RoutingPad using other metals are left untoucheds.
* New: New function Anabatic::Vertex::getNeighbor(Edge*) to get the
neighbor Vertex through an Edge*. This method allows to write
clearer code as we no longer need to access the neighbor through
the underlying GCell.
Also add proxies for GCell methods in Vertex.
* Bug: In Anabatic::Dijkstra::_toSources(), in the ripup stage, when
a component with multiples vertexes is reached *and* two of it's
vertexes are reached *at the same time* (one from which we backtrack
and one still in the queue) extraneous edges may be created by
_materialize(). Case occurs on snx/c35b4, "abc_5360_n903_1".
To solve this, Dijkstra::_toSource() is modificated, the "from"
edges of the newly reacheds vertexes are reset to NULL, *except*
for the one we will be backtracking from. That is, the one given
in the source argument.
* Change: In Anabatic::NetBuilder class, put the various Hooks and
RoutingPad sorting functions as class ones.
* Bug: In AutoSegment::setLayer(), raise the SegInvalidatedFayer flag.
This unset flag was causing AutoContactTurn::updateTopology()
to not work as expected and making gaps, this was the cause of
the last remaining warnings about layer connexity.
* Change: In CRL Core, etc/, update the configuration files of real
technologies. Mostly for FreePDK 45. This work is also done for
AMS c35b4 (350nm) but in a private (SoC) git repository.
Added a new parameter 'lefImport.minTerminalwidth' for the
minimum size (width) of a metal1 terminal in standard cells.
Corrected bug of the minimum trace level which must be
initialized to a great value and *not* zero;
* Change: In CRL Core, BlifParser, detect when there is no tie low
or tie high defined, issue an error (connexion left open) but
continue.
* New: In CRL::RoutingLayerGauge, new overlad of getTrackPosition()
with the parameter set of getTrackIndex(). Used to know if a
terminal is on-grid or not.
* New: In CRL::LefImport, smarter management of metal1 pins. Adds a
_pinPostProcess() function to select the external components
among the various shapes. If the gauge is VH, all the pin rectangles
are translateds into vertical segments (even if the metal1 gauge
says the tracks are horizontals).
The _pinPostProcess() function adds as external components of
a net, only the segments of a sufficent width as given in
'lefImport.minTerminalWidth' and that are on-grid.
* Change: In Hurricane::Backtrace constructor, add a boolean parameter
to enable/disable the actual backtrace generation.
* Change: In Hurricane::Error constructor, disable by default the
backtrace generation. The backtrace is useful when the Error is
thrown, and the program therefore stopped. But in many case we
just issue the error message on the console and try to continue.
But if the backtrace is enabled, it terribly slow down the
program.
Have to think about an clean way to re-enable the trace only
when the exception is thrown.
* Change: In Hurricane::Technology, in all the layer connexity methods
(getLayers(), getMetalAbove(), getCutAbove(), getViaBetween(), ...)
the "useWorking" parameter is replaced by a more accurate "useSymbolic".
BEHAVIOR CHANGE: formerly, if a symbolic layer was requested, and
none was found, NULL was returned. Now, if the symbolic layer is not
found, we try to return the associated real one (same layer mask,
but not flagged as symbolic, and usually with a lowercase name).
All thoses changes have been propagated to Python bindings.
* Change: In Hurricane::BasicLayer and derived classes, rename the
"isWorking" attribute into "isSymbolic" (to match the technology
renaming).
* Change: In Hurricane::Cell::flattenNets(), ignore power, ground and
blockage nets for the flatten.
* Change: In CRL Core, in coriolisInit.py and Technology.py helpers,
rename the tables describing the technology as follow:
- symbolicLayersTable --> compositeLayersTable
- workingLayersTable --> symbolicLayersTable
- symbolicRulesTable --> layersExtensionsTable
This is to give the table names a more clearer semantic after
merging real technologies configurations (testbench AMS c35b4).
In particular, we need to define a composite layer for the
real VIAs, and not only the symbolic ones. And with correct
enclosures expressed in real dimensions (microns).
* Bug: In Hurricane the ::tstream class must be initialized with a
minLevel of 10000 instead of zero, as the minLevel go *towards*
zero as the debug slice [min:max[ is expanded by DebugSession.
This default value must be repeated in the CRL::System CTOR
and in the coriolis2/etc/commons/misc.conf.
* Bug: In Hurricane::IntrusiveSet, uses "tsetw(n)" dedicated cdebug
stream manipulator instead of the STL one.
* New: In Anabatic::NetBuilder, set all the attributes as private and
create accessors and mutators.
Finish virtualising all GCell build methods and transfer them
into the NetBuilderHV class.
Build methods now return a boolean to tell if the GCell was
processed or not, to allow cascading in the "big switch".
Reorganise the "big switch" in separate sections only partially
cascading.
Truly fuse the *big switch* for channel routing and over-the-cells.
Create a new method "_do_globalSegment()" to delagate the
drawing of global segments between two GCell to the derived classes.
* New: In Anabatic, rename GCellTopology to NetBuilder, expose the class
(no longer in a local namespace).
NetBuilder become a base class performing the walkthrough the Net
tree. Derived class are tasked to build routing for specific gauge.
NetBuilderHV is created to manage all gauge with metal2 horizontal
and metal3 vertical.
In our terminolgy we consider that the first routing metal is
metal2. Metal1 is used inside the standard cells.
* New: In CRL Core, AllianceFramework::getCell(), adds a new Catalog::State
flags to request the loading of a "foreign" cell. That is, a Cell which
is *not* in the Alliance libraries, but in *any* library starting from
the root library. This is a temporary hack to allow the Blif parser to
run.
* New: In CRL Core, RoutingGauge::getHorizontalGauge() and
RoutingGauge::getVerticalGauge() to avoid relying on either metal names
or depth to know the vertical and horizontal default routing
informations. They return the metal layers gauges *closests* to the
substrate which are likely to have the lesser pitch.
* New: In CRL Core, BlifParser, new configuration parameters:
"etesian.cell.zero" & "etesian.cell.one" to figure out what are the
tielow and tiehigh cells (instead of having the ones from sxlib
hardwired).
* New: In Etesian, add support for non-square routing pitchs, that is,
the lowest vertical and horizontal pitches are not equal. Needs to
work with two pitches (H & V) instead of one.
The Configuration associated class now also provides the
RoutingGauge (not only the CellGauge).
Use a new Configuration setting "etesian.feedNames" to set up
the names of the filler cells. This a string of comma separated
cell names.
* New: In Anabatic, Session::_getNearestGridPoint(), use the new
non-square grid scheme.
* New: In CRL Core, added LEF importer for real technologies. This is
still a work in progress. Exported in Python interface.
* Bug: In CRL Core, CellGauge::getRecord() correctly display DbU
attributes.
* Change: In Unicorn, mofificate ImportCell and ImportCellDialog to
support the LEF importer. Add a template layer so we can work with
loaders returning Cell* or Library*.
* Change: In Unicorn::UnicornGui::getCellFromDb(), in addition to the
Alliance loader, uses the DataBase::getCell() too (for Cells that
are *not* in Alliance).
* Bug: In Kite::NegociateWidow and Katana::NegociateWindow, when creating
the TrackSegment from the AutoSegment, we put it on the nearest track
from its current position. But it may happens that the nearest track
is outside the terminal constraint interval (in the case of "nsxlib").
Add the terminal constraint interval check.
This was not affecting the routing result because the segment was
put inside the right interval afterwards. It was only generating
disgraceful transient error messages...
* Change: In CRL Core, in coriolis2/etc the file an directory structure
describing the technonolies is modified.
Before, one technology was split in two: the symbolic part that
may be shared across multiple real technology and the real technology
itself. To configure this we needed in ".coriolis2/techno.py" two
variables:
* symbolicTechnology.
* realTechnology.
After, we duplicate the symbolic technology in each real ones, so
to configure we only have to refer to one technology with the
variable:
* technology.
Pure sympolic technologies are still availables, associated with
a dummy real one.
We provides:
* 180/scn6m_deep_09 for MOSIS 180nm
* 45/freepdk_45 for FreePDK 45nm (work in progress).
* symbolic/cmos for classical Alliance symbolic.
* Change: In CRL Core python/helpers, SymbolicTechnology.py and
RealTechnology.py are now grouped under Technology.py.
* New: Hurricane::DataBase::getCell() method to search a cell through
all the libraries of *all* the frameworks, not just Alliance.
Also exported in Python interface.
* Bug: In Technology::getNthMetal() the function was not returning the
right metal, there was an offset of one. And when the offset was
0, no metal was even returned. Same fix goes for getNthCut().
The fault was in Mask<>::nthbit().
* Change: In Hurricane::CellWidget, the initial window size is too tiny.
Increase the size from 250 to 500 pixels.
* New: In CRL Core Python helpers, add a "showPythonTrace()" function to
custom display the Python stack trace in case of exception. It ha
been made to look like a gdb trace.
* In Unicorn, cgt.py, use showPythonTrace().
* Bug: In Hurricane::Occurrence_Contains(), when the Instance to match
is set to NULL, that means we have to accept *all* instances instead
of rejecting them all. This bug was making the Cell::flattenedNets()
to do nothing in digital mode.
* New: As, starting from version 5.8, LEF/DEF parser/drivers are
availables under Apache 2.0 license, integrate them inside the
project. Rewrite the Makefiles into CMakeLists.txt, build only
the C++ version. Create an entry for the LEF/DEF doc in the
documentation.
