Merged recent changes from master branch into bplane branch. Testing the
bplane implementation which has about a 5x improvement in extraction times
for large layouts, which is significant enough to move ahead with the bplane
implementation; however, the bplane implementation has not been thoroughly
vetted yet, so it will remain a branch until such time that it has been
validated.
extraction: Fixed a problem causing long extraction times, at
least some of which had to do with a poor string hash function
implementation. Fixed a huge problem in ext2spice, where the
node merge function was particularly poorly implemented, causing
exponentially increasing processing times with layout size.
Corrected a minor issue with ext2spice where arguments were
improperly specified, causing unnecessary error messages to be
issued. Fixed an error in the "load -dereference" command option,
which again caused unnecessary error messages to be issued.
Changed .gitignore to ignore Depend files, which are now regenerated
on every build.

Updated bplane branch with all changes to master since the bplane branch
was last modified.
down in the hierarchy when selecting a region or net, but with a
(hopefully very useful) twist: To avoid the problem of ambiguous
labels in subcells, the subcell name hierarchy is generated in
the same way as is done when flattening a cell, with the instance
name prepended. For example, when selecting a net in a standard
cell design, a terminal would highlight the name "OR2X1_1/B"
instead of just "B".
distributed installations, where the immediate installation location
is different from the final installation location, but in the case
where it is not desirable to put the entire install hierarchy as a
subdirectory of DESTDIR.
only at the time of running the command "load". But cells are generally
loaded only on an as-needed basis, so the dereferencing option must be
saved as a flag in the cell and honored whenever its subcells are expanded
or otherwise read at a later time.
simple FET device in extresist. Also: Extended the bloat-all CIF operator
again, allowing the trigger layer for the bloat operation to include both
CIF layers and magic layers (previously only magic layers were supported).
This extension is possible due to the previous extension allowing the
trigger layer and bloating layers to be on separate planes. This operator
extension is useful for tagging geometry that is in the proximity of, but
not overlapping, geometry on another plane.
enabling the "plow" command. At this time, however, not all
rules are being implemented correctly given the numerous changes
to the DRC handling since the last time "plow" was working. Fixes
are ongoing.
development had been halted since it was first created back in April.
Version 8.2 is now the official development version, with the first
development push to create a Cairo graphics interface.
