Version 20080229 ================ - Number of fixes to provide gcc 4.3 support. - New feature for gds2pov and gds2svg: use the "-g" option to automatically generate a process file with information based on the layers found in the supplied gds2 file. Version 20070827 ================ - Minor fix for building on multilib Linux x86_64 machines. Thanks to Chitlesh Goorah. Version 20070815 ================ - Build fixes for Windows. - Update library search path on install on Unix systems. Version 20070813 ================ - Fixed erroneous URLs in the help for each program. - Changed the build chain to use cmake instead of autotools. Thanks to Mark Wilmott: - Top level cell is correctly placed within the canvas when using gds2svg. Version 20070426 ================ Thanks to Matt Hopcroft: - Layers with height=0 were not being processed (should've been thickness=0). Version 20061130 ================ - Fixes to the build process. - Memory stability fixes. Version 20061012 ================ - Fixed compile errors on msys due to u_int16_t being defined as uint16_t. These changes thanks to Arun Persaud: - Added simple support for Boxes (they are treated as Boundaries) - gdsoglviewer uses the config.txt settings to set the initial position. - gdsoglviewer displays a camera and lookat position which can be used in gds2pov. - Zero width paths no longer prevent the rest of the GDS2 file being parsed. - An error in the type of the STYPTABLE record was fixed. These changes suggested by Frederic Pecourt: - Added the option of using a camera include file in gds2pov rather than calculating the camera position inside the main pov file. Version 20060301 ================ - Changed libgdsto3d long and short types to int32_t and int16_t as appropriate problems when long and short change size. Version 20060228 ================ - Fixed gds2pov -b option which wasn't producing any output. Version 20060227 ================ - Added gds2svg - Fixed other minor problems Version 0.7.3 (23rd November 2004) ================================== - Fixed occasional problem with invalid characters being printed in layer names. Thanks to Scott Lin. - Fixed boundary calculation when an SREF only contained other SREFs. - SREF boundaries are now output when the -v option is given. Version 0.7.2 (17th November 2004) ================================== - Fixed texture definition problem under Windows. - Fixed texture definition when texture is a metal. Version 0.7.1 (16th November 2004) ================================== - Improved the way textures are defined in the .pov file which reduces the size of the file substantially for large designs. - Fixed command line parsing problem. Thanks to S. Lin for spotting the problem. Version 0.7 (28th September 2004) ================================= - Added option to specify the top cell name as suggested by Markus Dorn. - Added option to output a bounding box the same size and shape as the layout instead of the layout. This renders almost instantaneously so can be used to place the camera more effectively. - Empty cells no longer break the boundary detection. - Fixed bug causing the wrong cell to be selected in boundary calculation which was leading to crashes in certain situations (Guenter Grau). Version 0.6 (17th August 2004) ============================== - Added verbose output option for helping debug problems with gds2 files. - Default font used is crystal.ttf (supplied with POV-Ray) and font is definable in config.txt - Invalid characters in structure names are replaced with _. Thanks to Guenter Grau for highlighting this problem. - Support for offset and variable paths added. Octagonal paths are treated as offset paths. - XY records for unsupported elements (BOX, NODE) will now be parsed completely so the whole file can be parsed. - If Datatype is not specified in a layer definition in the process file, the layer definition will be used for all datatypes in that layer. Thanks to Guenter Grau for this suggestion.
