* WIP: add "pymod"
* To fix the issue reported by GitHub ticket No.1040
* WIP: To build "pymod"
* Updated the build system for Mac.
* Updated the build system for Mac.
* 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
* Opportunity fix: library selection box listed libraries with technology even though no technology is selected.
* Opportunity: show PCell errors on new error layer. Previously, errors were only shown when the PCell had at least a single layer parameter
The error text is drawn together with guiding shapes. Disabling guiding shapes will
turn off error display.
* Opportunity: fixed an issue when reloading a library immediately after loading a layout: in this case, the library connection got lost and cells were substituted by static ones
* Opportunity: added a layout cleanup for the following case: a layout is loaded without the library present - giving defunct cells. Then the library is registered and defunct cells are reconnected.
* Some doc fixes as preparation for PDF generation
* Some doc bug fixes and enhancements for PDF manual generation
* Fixed a number of invalid references found during PDF generation
* Enable PCellDeclarationHelper doc for help system
* Fixed doc text
* Fixed some doc issues with invalid links etc.
* Applied patch as discussed in #1040
* Adding extra compilation flags to extensions #1040
tlcore, dbcore and libcore did not have compilation flags.
It failed compiling on Macos because it did not use C++11.
