Hi All, I'm writing to announce the second release of Icarus Verilog Interactive. This release is still considered to be pre-alpha. With that said, however, more features are being added and the existing code is becoming more stable.
You may obtain source and i386/Linux binaries from the Sourceforge site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ivi . Please download new IVI and TCL packages. New image-handling code has been added to the TCL source/binary bundle. There is no immediate need to download new Icarus Verilog source or binaries. As always, in the case of problems, please email the gEDA list. Here are the release-notes for this release: #******************************************************************** #* 0.1-20021101 Release #******************************************************************** - Added ability to open multiple wave-viewing windows. - Added a HTML help browser. Help documents are described in TexInfo, which is converted to HTML. - Work on signal-data import/export filter API mostly complete. There is a sample import/export filter for the stub DFIO. Look in <root_dir>/src/stub_dfio/StubFilter.[cc|h] - Added ability to have multiple signal databases open at any given time. A tabbed interface was added to the structure-view window... - Removed some Tix widgets from the interface. I am seeing some flaky behavior from some combination of Tix widgets (Notebook, Tree, Paned-win). Even though I like the look of Tix widgets, it seems best to transition away from these widgets due to support issues. - Allowed signals to be added to the wave window after time 0. Previously, these signals would be mis-displayed. - Added rudimentry VCD import functionality. The code was derived from a gtkwave helper application (vcd2lxt). - Added an import/export filter for 'stub' format. At this time, the 'stub' format is simply a test format. The format may change over time. #**************************************************************** #* Known Issues #**************************************************************** - "add wave" command doesn't handle multiple SDBs. Signals are added from the default (first-registered) SDB - Wave-Setup files do not support multiple SDBs. Thanks and Regards, Matthew
