"lef write", which had one typo in the formatting, plus was using
a static string method for generating the formatted output that was
implementation-dependent on fprintf(). These have been fixed.
minimum manufacturing grid (normally 1000 but can be altered by the
"angstroms" flag in the cifoutput section, and by "gridlimit").
The output values then are truncated such that the floating-point
output value, when multiplied by the UNITS value, is always an
integer. e.g., "gridlimit 5" will change UNITS to 200, and values
will be minimum precision 0.005, or 5 nanometers.
generation in the "cifoutput" section of the techfile. This operator
solves the problems with the catecorner position of geometry when
attempting to automatically close up gaps between islands of a layer.
could cause serious errors on systems that do not auto-zero allocated
memory. Also: Fixed an error introduced by a recent commit to allocate
character memory for efReadLine() which frees the memory before reading
a .res.ext file, causing a crash when using "ext2spice" with the
"extresist on" option.
memory for the input line instead of using a fixed 1024-character
buffer. That avoids the issue of rare but possible overflow when
reading a .ext file with unknown line lengths.
optional name field to the "substrate" line in the extract section
of the techfile. This is the default name of the substrate if not
connected to anything labeled. It may use a Tcl variable (preferred).
(2) Added command option "instance orientation [-def]" that returns
the orientation of the named or selected instance. The -def option
returns the orientation using DEF naming convention; otherwise, the
naming used with "getcell" is generated.
SPICE subcircuit definitions from a netlist file and apply the port
order in the netlist to the port labels in the corresponding cell
or cells in the magic database. Also: Corrected an error in the
bloat-all code introduced in a recent commit that can cause a
segfault.
templayers. This permits some useful interactions like growing to
the size of a bounding box, or abutment box, as well as many other
possibilities. Also: Corrected the use of "cif see" for the boundary
(abutment box) layer, which was not working because the "cif see"
command uses a flattened CellDef that does not have the boundary
property of the cell it was flattened from.
of cell name dereferencing on file loads, where the cell load
subroutine call ended up with the wrong number of arguments,
resulting in an invalid pointer and a crash condition.
"ignore-unknown-layer-labels" is set, then error messages will not
be displayed when labels in the GDS input are on unknown layers
(this option is and has been otherwise handled correctly; the only
issue is the generation of an error message on the output).
unrecognized layers when the "readonly" read option is set.
Added support to scale elements (from the "element" command,
such as the measurement text and arrows) when the grid scales,
which was missing. Corrected the output of persistent elements
in a .mag file so that they are correctly scaled by the scale
reducer.
a LEF macro that has parentheses around the coordinates. Weirdly,
this is requires by the LEF/DEF spec, but is rarely if ever seen
in actual LEF files. Go figure.
GDS of abstract views, such that if the cellname being dumped is the
same as the library name, then no prefix is added to subcells. This
behavior may be changed in the future.

claim that it cannot scale down enough and that the output units
are either wrong or the output style must have "units angstroms".
Using angstrom units would solve the problem but did not treat
the root of the problem.
which had been changed a few months back to remove the individual
cell count and only list the top level cell. The behavior has been
changed a bit so that "list" returns values for the top level cell
only, but "listall" returns a complete list. "drc list count total"
gives the DRC count for the top cell, but "drc listall count total"
gives the DRC count for everything (probably not very useful).
Also: Implemented a behavior by request to automatically removed
the (UNNAMED) cell whenever a new cell is loaded and the (UNNAMED)
cell has not been modified.

the tarball generation and mirror to github to be hosed, which I did
not notice for three weeks.
