- New feature : Command support. Move command is now implemenented as a
Command and no longer built into the CellWidget. ZoomCommand implemented.
- New feature : SelectCommand support along with new HSelection widget to
browse the current selection. Selection is automatically kept up to
date.
- Note : Selection Browser & Netlist Browser pointer in the CellViewer are
resets to NULL on widget destruction by closing. We do not want to keep
big widget hiden. The are allocateds on demand.
- New feature : progessive grid. First display 5x5 then 5x5 + 1x1.
- Bug : now CellViewer can start with a NULL Cell, note that in this
case all displacement/zooming function of CellWidget became uneffective.
(display only a black screen)
- New widget : HGraphics to select the layout graphic's theme.
- New widget : HDisplayFilter to select displayed hierarchical levels.
- Distinguish between Close (one viewer) & Exit (all viewers).
- Small enhancments of DisplayStyle (Description & darkening).
- New feature : geometrical Query with callback fonctions "a la" OpenAccess.
* ./hurricane/src/hviewer :
- Uses Query to draw display.
- Bug : when drawing segments as lines (width inferior to 1 pixel)
uses an alternate Pen which is one pixel wide and SolidLine styled,
avoiding strange orange lines... Mechanism implemented in sub-class
DrawingPlanes.
- Make selection always visible regardless the zoom level.
- CellWidget names it's most importants childs QWidget (mostly menus)
for later retrieval in customized sub-classes.
- New feature : support for highlighted selection with decent refresh time.
To active selection mode, use the 's' key or the "View" menu.
- New feature : HNetlist to browse a Cell's Netlist. HNetlist can be used
with any NetInformations derived class, allowing the user to enrich
the HNetlist displayed fields. For an example, have a look at
SimpleNetlistWidget.
- Added proper licence header to all file.
- New Widget policy : a widget do not generate other widget : applied to
CellWidget which no longer supplies Palette & StatusBar.
API note: to associate a HPalette to a CellWidget (that is be able
to select layer) you have to call "bindToPalette()" on the CellWidget.
- Hurricane reusable widget names prefixed by 'H' : HMousePosition and
HPalette.
- Grid & Spot support (adjusted display threshold).
- Added new copyToScreen() functions for _drawingBuffer to screen refreshment
or partial copy (useful for Spot).
- API : in CellWidget & CellViewer constructors now only takes the
parent QWidget.
- Renaming coordinates translation functions for more clarity.
- Adding a StatusBar showing mouse coordinates.
- Bug: very tricky one. Do not emit "layoutAboutToChange()" signal
after destroying the Record used by the RecordModel but before
setting a new one and not setting the _record field to NULL.
Now setRootRecord() should work more than once.
- No more extra arguments in HInspectorWidget & RecordModel constructors.
Valid values have to be sets through setRootRecord() & setSlot().
- Key for forking sub-inspector is now *minus* 'o'.
- Add forgotten converter function physicalToGrid(), physical units to
founder grid units.
* ./hurricane/src/hinspector :
- Added history support, and ability to move through the history stack.
- Fork support : by typing 'O' (capitalized 'o' letter) you can open
a new inspector on the current record.
* ./hurricane/src
- Simplification of the Inspector internal mechanism. Simple, but with
more templates, means a slower compilation.
- The DbU::Unit problem : DbU::Unit are only typedef over long type,
so we cannot create a specific overload for them. Uses "getValueRecord()"
instead of "getRecord()"
- For HInspectorWidget add a "getClone()" method. Also add a global
object counter (for Record too) to track down memory leaks.
- Big rewrite of the HInspectorWidget : now do not leak memory like hell,
and only kept allocated the current Record and not the full stack
of them (instead, we stack Slots which are ligthweigh objects).
- Rename of "real" unit to "grid" unit.
- New conversion function "getPhysicalsPerGrid()" and associated
mechanism.
* ./coriolis/src/crlcore :
- Synchronise with the Hurricane modifications.
- Documentation of DbU, replacing documentation of Unit.
* ./hurricane/src/hurricane/hurricane/DBo.h :
- Property set is now a mutable member, allowing const DBo to changes
their properties. Strange side effect on SlotAdapter in which we
need to declare two separate templates, one for const type and
another for non-const type.
- _getTypeName() defined to prevents noisy error message when a
derived class (from DBo) do not want to implement support for
the inspector.
- Unit evolution to allow Symbolic (lamda) and Real (grid founder) mixing.
All functions related to Unit translations are now grouped under
the "DbU" class (another tribute to OpenAccess). "DbU" contains
only static attributes (constants) and methods. Unit itself becomes
a typedef inside this class, hence the file renaming from Unit.{h,cpp}
to DbU.{h.cpp}. Have to replace all instances of "Unit" by "DbU::Unit".
- Doc will be updated shortly.
- CompositeLayer replaced by 5 kind of symbolic layers :
RegularLayer (1 BasicLayer)
DiffusionLayer (2 or 3 BasicLayers: active+implant,well)
TransistorLayer (3 or 4 BasicLayers: poly+active+implant,well)
ContactLayer (4 or 5 BasicLayers: metal+cut+active+implant,well)
ViaLayer (3 BasicLayers: metal0+cut0+metal1)
- To better follow the OpenAccess semantic, the "obstacle" Material type
is renommed to "blockage".
- NB: doxygen documentation is not up-to-date and issue warnings.
* ./coriolis/src/crlcore :
- Migrate from CompositeLayer to the various SymbolicLayers.
- Symbolic rules are now closer to the reality so that a Cell displayed
with Hurricane should look identical to the Graal one.
- Complete rewrite of the AP parser. Much simplificated, do not try to
merge/articulates segments. This ensure a true rendering of the
Cell. Especially do not create contact to anchor diffusion segments,
which leads to very strange randering (DRC error as well).
./hurricane/doc/hurricane/src/hurricane/BasicLayer.{h.cpp}
- Changed "Type" to "Material" to fit better the OpenAccess semantic.
Introduce Material meanings : pWell, nWell, pImplant, nImplant
active, metal, cut, obstacle & other.
* ./coriolis/src/crlcore :
- Switched to the generic layer model. Updated technology XML configuration
files, technology parser & AP parser/driver.
- Note that the representation of transistors visually changes as it's now
modelled with Implant + Active.
- Added (empty) directories "html" & "latex". Those directories are
created by doxygen, but as they are used in the CMakeList.txt, they
must be present even before the fisrt run of cmake (otherwise cmake
choke on them).
- Doxygen sets to only generate html & pdf (through LaTeX) documentation.
- All ".dox" files corrected to suit the new function members naming
scheme (some work may remains in code examples).
