(cad/klayout) Updated 0.28.10 to 0.28.12
0.28.12 (2023-09-12):
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1477 Macro IDE: changing the colors does not have an effect
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1474 Throw a FATAL ERROR when multiple cellname have the same refnum
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1473 Ignore 'Summarize missing layers' when sending XOR result to other layout)
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1472 DEF path with first/last segment length < halfwidth are read wrong
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1471 Make warning about 'FOREIGN differs from MACRO name' more informative
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1470 DEF pinname VDD.extra1 should be written as VDD TEXT in gds/oasis
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1465 (maybe fixed) DRC crash at end of script
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1464 Layout#get_info and Layout#set_info not longer segfault on wrong layer index
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1460 CellRename dialog is larger now initially
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1307 (partial) Produce UNPLACED macros if location is provided
* Enhancement: New aliases for inline operators (e.g. "+=") in RBA::Region and similar classes
Reasoning is that "+=" in Ruby is resolved into "+" and "=" which does not make
use of the inline optimization. Using "join_with" instead will avoid this. Other alias:
"join" for "+", "and" for "&", "and_with" for "&=", "not" for "-", "not_with" for "-=",
"or" for "|", "or_with" for "|=", "xor" for "^" and "xor_with" for "^=".
* Bugfix: deep region 'transform' with plain shift was not working properly with scaled instances
* Bugfix: re-run of include-expanded DRC/LVS wasn't working
* Bugfix: Proper Python stack trace in debugger for Python 3.10
* Enhancement: Allowing to select cells by error markers too (so that PCells with errors can be selected)
* Bugfix: avoid a segfault in the properties dialog
* Enhancement: crash log now is shown in a more reliable way - but less fancy.
In addition, a crash log is written 'klayout_crash.log' in the home path
and the crash message is printed to error.
* Bugfix: Don't clear search when switching macro editor pages
* Enhancement: Macro editor file change notification now also is no longer a modal window
* Enhancement: Macro editor does not list __pycache__ directories
* Enhancement: Pick a tab in Macro editor from the context menu of tab bar
* Bugfix: moving a text with a non-centered vertical alignment now uses the right location
* Enhancement: 'copy interactive' will maintain selection
* Enhancement Better integration of partial mode - for example 'interactive move' now also acts on partial selection
* Bugfix: cleanup after deleting cells in partial mode - no new top cells appear
* Enhancement: package manager
* So not update macros while installing: avoids transient error messages
* Offer to autorun macros also after package update (so far only on package new installation
* Bugfix: Fixed a issue with the search box on the macro editor
when switching to the replace text box, focus was passed to the text editor instead
* Enhancement: CIF reader progress now functional
* Enhancement: some speedup while sorting instances
* Bugfix: LayoutView does not longer need processEvents when saving an image to PNG
0.28.11 (2023-08-09):
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1307 (partial) LEF/DEF PIN labels are taken from NET, not PIN name
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1415 GDS2 files with meta info are not read by old versions of KLayout
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1422 DXF file parsing error, about spline curve
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1425 Python Binding / Layout / find_layer broken for layer "name"
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1428 Feature request: "%include" in macros should allow including XML files too
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1430 Add option to filter out geometric primitives from Marker Database Browser Info widget
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1432 strm2oas def ignores path segment after + VIRTUAL + RECT
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1433 Fix def syntax error in testdata/lefdef/viasize2/test.def
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1453 Zoom (in) function with selected layers significantly slower in newer releases
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1438 Provide a configuration option to switch back to old-style text selection (at origin only)
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1440 Relative margin for Marker Database Browser
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1441 Support for label position in Marker Database Browser
* Enhancements:
- Add a default extension to file names unless one is given
- Selection on partial mode enhanced: allow selection of edge
ends if edges overlap, graphical indicator for selected partial
- Wheel events do no longer change Combo Box selections
- DRC/LVS: log output overhead reduced for faster execution in
small layout cases
- Added RBA::Image/pya.Image constructor taking QImage and PixelBuffer
- Point objects are native citizens now of the database and act as
representatives for handles, better editing and visualization of
the latter
- Macro editor has "find previous" button now
- Mitigate the effect of overriding a globally-defined technology
with -nn on the command line by creating tech variants
- LEF/DEF map files now allow LEFPINNAME and PINNAME purpose to
map pin labels in a more consistent way
* Bugfix:
- Tilde expansion wasn't working for layout write
- Python specific API documentation did not mention disambiguation
for property/method ambiguity
- Python error messages are more readable and contain the exception
class
- PCell layer-type parameters did not work without a default value
- Point-like PCell handles now cannot be spoiled any longer in partial
mode
- "Duplicate" was also duplicating cells or layers depending on the
scope which was irritating. Now it's confined to geometry
- DRC/LVS logs list the correct line also with include files
- "report" wasn't working in DRC/LVS scripts for scripts only using
external sources
- Fixed a potential segfault on application exit
- Enhancements to the macro editor's search & replace function -
"replace and search next" wasn't working properly and other flaws
