* [CONSIDER MERGING] Clarification and typo fixed in DRC doc.
* Implemented #1097 (discourage file compression, use CBLOCK)
* A warning is printed if file compression is enabled on OASIS
* A hint is present in the writer options
* CBLOCK is default (with fresh config) and for buddy tools
(use --cblock=false to disable it)
* Strict mode is default too.
* Updated tests
The application got unstable on exit under various conditions
(e.g. LayoutView created in script). Reason was the ownership
management of LayoutView which interfered with Qt widget
lifetime management.
The solution now is based on a clean widget/view hierarchy
and a consistent plugin parent/child relationship.
In addition, a new class is enabled which allows creating
a true QWidget (rather QFrame) for a LayoutView again.
* Fixed first issue (UI problem with GDS2Text options)
* Fixed problem with 'save' when the file extension does not indicate one of the known formats
In this case, and when plain 'save' is used, the original format is delivered.
The session files also store the original format now.
The statistics page will now indicate the format of the file that was loaded.
* Implementated patch as suggested by issue-1047
* Implementing blend-mode for LEF/DEF for a first solution for issue-1048
* Added testcase, fixed other tests
* Issue-1050 fixed - now REGION, BLOCKAGE and DIEAREA are relevant from mapping file, nothing else
* Bug fixes
* Experimental: DEF multipart paths
* Experimental: ignore LEF wire extension, ignore PATTERNNAME
* Implemented PATTERNNAME in DEF instead of LEF ..
* Implemented nondefaultrule vias
* LEF/DEF: non-defaultrule vias need a name suffix.
* Refined solution for NDR via names, updated test data
* Updated test data
* Multiple map files and 'REGIONS FENCE' + 'REGIONS GUIDE' layer mapping entries.
* Added test data, updated doc.
* Some enhancements and feedback
REGIONS in map files -> REGION
REGION NONE for map files (maps REGIONs which are neither GUIDE or FENCE)
Bugfix: VIA with ORIGIN
No via cell name prefix by default for buddy tools
* Simplified buddy tool options for LEF/DEF property names
Dropped --lefdef-dont-produce-instance-names,
--lefdef-dont-produce-pin-names and --lefdef-dont-produce-net-names
options. Instead, these options have to be enabled by giving
the respective property names.
Writing the property names takes some space and these
options are simply confusing and redundant.
* Issue a warning about missing cut geometry for a DEF via with PATTERNNAME (which is ignored)
* Fixed issue-1065
* Write polygons as single POLYLINE or LWPOLYLINE to DXF
* DXF writer creates simple polygons from ones with holes in POLYLINE and LWPOLYLINE mode, added tests
