RBA now provides a hash method for Box, Edge, EdgePair, Trans,
Polygon, SimplePolygon, CellInstArray, LayerInfo, Path, Text,
Point and Vector.
eql? is mapped to ==.
==, != and < act "fuzzy" for the double-typed variants.
Hence, these objects can be used as hash keys now.
- A new constructor for RBA::Region has been provided to
create text markers from a shape iterator
- The DRC framework has been enhanced with a "text" function
The respective new classes are RBA::Technology and
RBA::TechnologyComponent. This interface will replace
the current way of doing tech management from scripts
by using the "technology-data" configuration parameter.
With this change it is possible to bind signals to functions
accepting less arguments. For example:
def triggered():
...
b = pya.QPushButton()
b.clicked(triggered)
b.emit_clicked(True)
wasn't working before since triggered() gets one parameter
(checked) and the call fails. Now, additional parameters are
ignored.
* The solution consists of attaching a bridge object
to QObjects. If the host object is destroyed, the
bridge object will notify the script client
* The bridge object attachment is optimized so it
only happens if required (but still too often ...)
* The child object of QChildEvent gets a special
handling since this object is almost dead in case
of remove. This special handling consists of
a special, stripped class which is used to
only represent QObject in that particular case.
