- The MAG reader now has access to the details of the proposed
technology (set in KLayout), specifically inside library paths
($(tech_name), $(tech_dir)). This allows setting the MAG reader
path relative to the technology path.
- If no specific technology is set before MAG files are read and
the technology listed there is found in KLayout, KLayout will
attach the layout to this technology.
- OASIS layers are turned into pure layer name (not lxdy_name) for
MAG output
- Boxes of instances had been incorrect
- consistent naming of cell files in presence of special chars
- MAG writer output name does not need to match a cell name
(this file is not written in this case, but the path and extension
are taken from it). A warning is issued in this case.
- Strings for layer and cell names are normalized (special chars, UTF8)
- Cell duplicates won't be produced but existing cells are reused.
This enables "incremental reads".
- force lower-case layer names to allow CIF/MAG loop (CIF needs
upper-case layer names, MAG doesn't)
- reverted CIF reader to standard
- new options for writer: tech, "zero timestamp".
- file name MUST be consistent with one cell name.
Reason: it's not possible to derive the initial
cell from the given options, so without the file name
being consistent, we can't know what to write there.
Basically the file name rather supplies the path.
