|
||||
* Enhancements: Numerous new functions for the RBA and pya API
|
||||
Some highlights:
|
||||
* "Texts" for text collections (similar for Edges/EdgePairs/Region)
|
||||
* New modes for blending layout files - see GitHub issue #666
|
||||
* New function Cell#transform - see GitHub issue #598
|
||||
* New functions for Image (read, write, clear)
|
||||
* New functions for Region and Edges correlating with the new DRC features
|
||||
* Multi-cell hierarchical copy/move of trees - will maintain shared instances
|
||||
* RBA: iterators are now automatically made available as Enumerable
|
||||
* All functions having a void return specification now return self (allows chaining)
|
||||
* More functions for manipulating selections (LayoutView#select_all etc.)
|
||||
* Spline interpolation code available in new "Utils" namespace
|
||||
* QByteArray support, mapping to Python byte arrays
|
||||
* MainWindow#set_key_bindings, MainWindow#get_key_bindings, MainWindow#set_menu_items_hidden etc.
|
||||
* New class RecursiveInstanceIterator (similar to RecursiveShapeIterator, but acts on instances)
|
||||
* Deep vs. flat operations do not always flatten out now (flat vs. deep does however)
|
||||
* Global transformations for inputs
|
||||

* Enhancements: New DRC features
|
||||
Some highlights:
|
||||
* Better support for texts - "text layers"
|
||||
* Combined AND+NOT feature for separating regions into inside and outside part
|
||||
* "max_vertex_count" and "max_area_ratio" configuration options
|
||||
* "forget" for memory optimization
|
||||
* Shielding is optional now for some DRC functions
|
||||
* "interact" now has a count filter
|
||||
* In verbose more, figure counts and more information is printed
|
||||
* Generic DRC function and complex DRC operations: for details search "Universal DRC" in documentation
|
||||
* "not_opposite" and "rect_filter" options for some DRC functions
|
||||
* "enclosing" (selects polygons entirely enclosing others)
|
||||
* New filters for polygons: squares, non_squares, area ratio, bbox aspect ratio
|
||||
* More intuitive specification of projection limits ("projecting < 2.um")
|
||||
* "with_holes" and "without_holes", also with count
|
||||
* Density check is included now ("with_densitiy", "without_density")
|
||||
* "split_..." functions give interacting/non-interacting sets in one step
|
||||
* Better support for generic transformations as Matrix2d and Matrix3d
|
||||
* "fill" and "fill_with_left" functions for dummy fill
|
||||
* NO "connected" feature yet. Sorry. Had to drop it to finish this release.
