|
0.27 (2021-04-xx):
|
||||||
Enhanced API for ObjectInstPath
|
|
||||||
|

|
* New filters for polygons: squares, non_squares, area ratio, bbox aspect ratio
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
* 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.
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
Some highlights:
|
||||||
|
* Improved netlist and LVS result browser (infinite-depth browsing)
|
||||||
|
* Improved circuit match algorithm
|
||||||
|
* Case insensitive handling of object names for SPICE netlists
|
||||||
|
* Probe feature fixed in flat mode
|
||||||
|
* "connect_explicit": for details search "connect_explicit" in documentation
|
||||||
|
* Enhancements: New features for images
|
||||||
|
Some highlights:
|
||||||
|
* New menu item: show and hide all images - see GitHub issue #535
|
||||||
|
* False color nodes now can have a left and right color allowing color steps
|
||||||
|
* Persistance of images through a special file format: "lyimg" (XML based)
|
||||||
|
* Enhancements: LEF/DEF reader
|
||||||
|
Some highlights:
|
||||||
|
* Support for layer map files
|
||||||
|
* More complete spec support (e.g. FILL, MASK, FOREIGN, DO/BY/STEP ...)
|
||||||
|
* Several bug fixes, e.g. routing layer switch for VIAs
|
||||||
|
* Some functions also act on the transient selection (less mouse clicks)
|
||||||
|
* Enhancements: Layout editing and rulers
|
||||||
|
Some highlights:
|
||||||
|
* Object properties now are changed without having to commit the dialogs
|
||||||
|
* Dockable editor options windows
|
||||||
|
* "Recently used" list
|
||||||
|
* A "distribute objects" feature (Edit/Selection/Distribute)
|
||||||
|
* Snap highlighting
|
||||||
|
* Mouse tracking cursor indicates grid- and object-snapped location
|
||||||
|
* Enhancements: Help browser
|
||||||
|
* Bookmarks
|
||||||
|
* Search in page (Ctrl+F)
|
||||||
|
* Enhancement: Improved fill tool
|
||||||
|
The fill tool now also supports skewed fill pattern repetitions
|
||||||
|
* Enhancement: Ability to utilize a LayoutView as a Widget
|
||||||
|
Standalone instantiation of a LayoutView object is
|
||||||
|
supported now. So it becomes possible to create
|
||||||
|
custom MainWindow UIs and embed a layout view there.
|
||||||
|
* Enhancement: Improved layer and cell list filtering and searching
|
||||||
|
* Enhancement: Experimental 3d (called 2.5d) view of layout
|
||||||
|
For details search "2.5d View" in documentation.
|
||||||
|
* Enhancement: Improved performance on sea of instances for OASIS files
|
||||||
|
Iterated OASIS instances are stored and handled in a leaner way in viewer mode
|
||||||
|
* Enhancement: Buddy scripts can concatenate files with "+" for input
|
||||||
|
Concatenation happens by "blending files". Beware of the risk this implies.
|
||||||
|
* Enhancement: Layer maps now support n:m layer mapping
|
||||||
|
This allows mapping n input layers to one logical layer (merging) and also
|
||||||
|
one input layer to m logical ones (clone layer). This applies to the
|
||||||
|
buddy scripts and layer maps inside KLayout's reader.
|
||||||
|
* Enhancement: include mechanism for easy include of files into DRC/LVS scripts
|
||||||
|
This is a plain text substitution feature. Don't use it for Ruby or Python
|
||||||
|
scripts (the preferred way is still require/import). But it's a quick way
|
||||||
|
to include partial DRC and LVS scripts without having to worry about variable
|
||||||
|
scope. For details see "Including other files" in the documentation under:
|
||||||
|
KLayout User Manual/Design Rule Check (DRC)/DRC Runsets.

Edges#extents, Texts#extents and EdgePairs#extents now
|
Edges#extents, Texts#extents and EdgePairs#extents now
|

* Enhancement: ability to utilize a LayoutView as a Widget
|
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/521
|

supported now. So it becomes possible to create
|
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/487
|
||||||
custom MainWindow UIs and embed a layout view there.
|
Difficult to select specific labels for net name assignment in net extraction.
|
||||||
|
Solution involves a more elaborate handling of texts through "text layers.

0.26.5 (2020-xx-xx):
|
0.26.11 (2021-02-27):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/733
|
||||||
|
Relative path resolution in session files fails when the session file's path contains "+" characters
|
||||||
|
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/730
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/726
|
||||||
|
Crash on LayoutView#clear_selection on Linux.
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/723
|
||||||
|
Backup scheme wasn't working correctly with a single file without path
|
||||||
|
given as command line argument.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
0.26.10 (2020-02-02):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/720
|
||||||
|
"Safe save" and backups: when saving files, the file is only overwritten after
|
||||||
|
the save terminated successfully. This will avoid loss of data for full volumes
|
||||||
|
or network share dropouts. In addition, a configurable number of back files can
|
||||||
|
be kept (see File/Setup: Application/General).
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/718
|
||||||
|
GDS export issue fixed (breaking of polygons was filling holes)
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/709
|
||||||
|
LVS compare enters infinite loop when it encounters two entirely identical subcircuits
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/708
|
||||||
|
Qt binding: missing support for binary strings as QByteArray representative
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/707
|
||||||
|
QJsonValue's string constructor is ambiguous
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/704
|
||||||
|
Rational Splines not supported DXF
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/693
|
||||||
|
MAGIC files won't find subcells when reading from command line
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: HTTP stream reading issue with redirect
|
||||||
|
At least on MacOS a segfault happened when reading HTTP stream data
|
||||||
|
(e.g. for package manager) from addresses which are redirected.
|
||||||
|
* Enhancement: Removed %APPDATA% from DLL search path on Windows
|
||||||
|
This will avoid installation poisoning by the one from %APPDATA%
|
||||||
|
(which ironically is the default installation path). Eventually
|
||||||
|
multiple versions can be used in parallel.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
0.26.9 (2020-11-27):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/658
|
||||||
|
Menu items were not put into the right place on MacOS.
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/652
|
||||||
|
"M" factor scaling was not working for Spice reader.
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/651
|
||||||
|
Fixed an issue with DRC "select".
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/647
|
||||||
|
Text orientation was not considered properly in search & replace
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/646
|
||||||
|
A potential crash was fixed happening when a PCell
|
||||||
|
library is deleted
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: Display bug
|
||||||
|
Cell placements with small magnification factors (such that the
|
||||||
|
viewport dimensions exceeded the DBU space when seem from inside
|
||||||
|
the cell) lead to display errors.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
0.26.8 (2020-09-15):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/639
|
||||||
|
A new method is available which enables copying of multiple cells
|
||||||
|
into a target layout while maintaining common subcells are single
|
||||||
|
cells.
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/637
|
||||||
|
Points have not been selected properly when inside mirrored subcells
|
||||||
|
in partial edit mode.
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/629
|
||||||
|
Qt5 QTimer timeout signal was not available to Python or Ruby.
|
||||||
|
This also applied to all "private" signals of Qt5. QTimer is just
|
||||||
|
one important example for this case.
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/617
|
||||||
|
A problem with pseudo-const Python/Ruby objects in the netlist API
|
||||||
|
was fixed.
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/615
|
||||||
|
Basic authentication for package manager now uses UTF-8 encoding.
|
||||||
|
Most servers expect this kind of encoding today. UTF password
|
||||||
|
characters are supported this way.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
0.26.7 (2020-07-07):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/381 and more
|
||||||
|
Some bugs fixed that happened specifically on MacOS.
|
||||||
|
1.) A segfault that happened in LVS
|
||||||
|
2.) Some classes were not properly registered for usage in scripts.
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/493
|
||||||
|
LVS asserted on MacOS
|
||||||
|
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/586
|
||||||
|
As a safety feature, the stream writers now refuse to write layouts
|
||||||
|
with cells carrying the same names. Writing such layers would result
|
||||||
|
in corrupted or invalid layout files.
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/589 (tentative)
|
||||||
|
On Anaconda-based builds for MacOS 10.15 (Catalina) a loss of instances
|
||||||
|
was observed. This could be traced down to compiler/library incompatibilities
|
||||||
|
but not further.
|
||||||
|
* Enhancements: %GITHUB%/issues/591
|
||||||
|
Two enhancements in the macro editor:
|
||||||
|
1.) A crash happening when adding a new location was fixed
|
||||||
|
2.) The template selection popup can now be disabled by dismissing the
|
||||||
|
tip dialog.
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/592
|
||||||
|
Reading a file into a layout with unnamed layers caused problems with
|
||||||
|
layer mapping specs.
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/596
|
||||||
|
Library#_destroy was crashing the application. As this function must not
|
||||||
|
be called, it's rerouted to "nothing" for backward compatibility.
|
||||||
|
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/603
|
||||||
|
The "adjust origin" feature now allows specifying the target
|
||||||
|
coordinates for the adjustment.
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/610
|
||||||
|
An internal error happened for certain hierarchical configurations on
|
||||||
|
netlist extraction.
|
||||||
|
* Enhancement: LVS netlist compare
|
||||||
|
The algorithm was improved to provide better reproducibility. The
|
||||||
|
detection of matching paths in the presence of ambiguities was
|
||||||
|
improved.
|
||||||
|
In addition, the netlist compare now favours net names for resolving
|
||||||
|
ambiguities. So if nets are named the same in the layout and the
|
||||||
|
schematic, ambiguities are resolved based on these names. This is
|
||||||
|
usually more efficient. A new function is available to turn this
|
||||||
|
feature off: "consider_net_names(false)".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
the perimeter is considered.
|
||||||
|
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/560
|
||||||
|
A library can be associated with multiple technologies now.
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: width of cell and library side panels could not be
|
||||||
|
reduced below the width of the selection boxes in the
|
||||||
|
header
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix: cell view selection header text did not get updated
|
||||||
|
when saving the layout to a different file
