(cad/klayout) Updated 0.28.17 to 0.29.0

0.29.0           (2024-04-01):
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1662 Strong default grids

* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1656 Display-->Goto Position dialog
  should accept + as well as - for number prefixes
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1651 Errors when adding polygons with 4 points
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1644 DRC: some issues with edge layers
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1643 DRC: Feeding the same layer to
  two-layer operations in deep mode does not render the desired result
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1638 let klayout marker browser read
  strmxor .. xor.gds.gz, xor.oas result files
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1637 XOR optimization for prBoundary layer
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1632 rdb python/ruby module: modifing items
  not possible as they are const
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1598 LVS - Support for Soft Connections
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1586 Refactoring transformation conversion
  functions for complex transformation
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1583 Add possibility to customize main
  window title
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1513 Update Qt version for Qt bindings
  to 5.12.12 and 6.2.1
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1356 Instance Property form: Array Instance
  col/row would be more intuitive then the current row/col
* Enhancement: New ruler type "auto measure along edge"
* Enhancement: Trigger ruler measurement on mouse hovering transiently
* Enhancement: Min and max value bounds for PCell parameters in editor
  The condition is not strictly enforced - for example it is not checked when
  changing parameters programmatically. For that, use "coerce_parameters".
  Still, this feature is an editing aid.
* Bugfix: Pixel garbage in color selector button with "Auto" color selected
* Bugfix: DRC/LVS - connect_explicit did not accept an array of nets
  as single argument
* Bugfix: 'edge outside polygon' now consistently ignores the border
  of the polygon
* Bugfix: Warning level was ignored for some warnings in LEF/DEF reader
* Bugfix: Netlist reader: anonymous circuits are not checked for known parameters
* Enhancement: LVS - Supporting remote must-connect connections
  So far, must-connect connections had to be made one level up in the hierarchy
  or promoted further using labels and such. Now, must-connect connections
  can be made at any point up in the hierarchy.
* Bugfix: LVS - do not waste too much time analyzing failed matches
* Enhancement: LVS - LVS: Consider net names identical that differ
  in signal type suffix only - e.g. 'NET:I' is identical to 'NET'
* Enhancement: OASIS reader will produce layers that are listed in layer table
  but empty. Previously, empty layers were never created, even if listed in
  the layer table.
* Enhancement: Reading from HTTP streams and pipes now supports
  automatic .gz uncompression
* Enhancement: New DRC Features
  - "edges" method allows selecting convext/concave/step edges
  - Interaction count for edge/edge edge/polygon "interacting"
  - Improved handling of dots (degenerated edges) - these are now
    passed through the edge/edge and edge/polygon booleans and
    participate in "interact". This enables selecting corners and
    using them to select edges.
* Enhancement: New RBA/pya Features
  - Main window title: MainWindow#title (property)
  - LayoutView#is_dirty?
  - Triangulation: Region#delaunay
  - Quality rasterizer: Region#rasterize
  - Generic edge and polygon filters and operators support hierarchical processing
    with Python or Ruby callbacks: classes EdgePairFilter, EdgePairOperator,
    EdgePairToPolygonOperator, EdgePairToEdgeOperator, EdgeFilter, EdgeOperator,
    EdgeToPolygonOperator, EdgeToEdgePairOperator, PolygonFilter, PolygonOperator
    PolygonToEdgeOperator, PolygonToEdgePairOperator, TextFilter, TextOperator,
    TextToPolygonOperator
    Methods: EdgePairs#filter, EdgePairs#filtered, EdgePairs#process, EdgePairs#processed,
    same for Edges, Regions and Texts
  - Polygon#split, Polygon#break, same for DPolygon, SimplePolygon, DSimplePolygon
  - Keyword arguments for Python, Ruby and Expressions
  - You can now also use "klayout" package inside the application (same code
    for Python module and application) - i.e. "import klayout.db"
  - Synonyms: connect/disconnect for events for better compatibility with PyQt5
