<b>Bugfix</b>: OASIS reader - avoiding slight rounding of DBU In python read/write cycle (discussion-2526)
</li>
<li>

</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Symlinks in the salt paths might have lead to macro duplication

Issue #1770 addresses a problem introduced during this effort and also
fixed in this release.

<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: During modal dialogs, the debugger's run/stop and step buttons were not working.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: DRC size/sized now also accepts sizing mode as string.<br/>
For example "layer.sized(1.um, 'square_limit')" will work now.
Previously, this argument has been ignored. This will make the GF180 DRC deck work properly.

<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: <a href="https://github.com/KLayout/klayout/issues/1530">#1530</a> polygon from 2 size tuple points<br/>
The effect of this feature is pretty basic: tuples or lists are used as constructor
arguments for implicitly creating an object in place of them. Hence, "(x,y)" can be
used instead of a vector or a point. In some cases, this leads to ambiguities and
the implicit resolution will fail however.
Specifically a list of size-2 tuples can be passed to the "points" arguments of
Polygon and Path.

<b>Enhancement</b>: New aliases for inline operators (e.g. "+=") in RBA::Region and similar classes<br/>
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 "^=".

<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: <a href="https://github.com/KLayout/klayout/issues/963">#963</a> Display snapped position in main window
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: <a href="https://github.com/KLayout/klayout/issues/960">#960</a> Cap values range now shown in netlist browser
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: <a href="https://github.com/KLayout/klayout/issues/954">#954</a> Fixed a device extraction glitch
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: <a href="https://github.com/KLayout/klayout/issues/951">#951</a> Internal error fixed when deleting the cell you're sitting at<br/>
Side effect: copy & paste of cells is correctly disabled now in viewer mode
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: <a href="https://github.com/KLayout/klayout/issues/942">#942</a> Technology file routing suffix string typo
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: <a href="https://github.com/KLayout/klayout/issues/946">#946</a> Python: __file__ returns quoted path string
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: DRC check for equal width now returns more consistent results<br/>
Previously, a check like "layer.drc(width == something)" was not flagging
all candidates correctly.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: A PCell can request "lazy evaluation" now<br/>
This means that a parameter change needs to be committed in the UI before
it is being taken. This way, slow PCell evaluation will not make the
application stall. To add this feature, reimplement "wants_lazy_evaluation"
in the PCell class to return "true".
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: "lvs_data" is a global function now in LVS scripts
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: less liberal evaluation of expressions in string to numeric conversion<br/>
This will fix a potential vulnerability which allows someone to sneak
in expression code through malicious configuration, technology or layer properties
files.

<ul>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: <a href="https://github.com/KLayout/klayout/issues/809">#809</a><br/>
"without_density" goes outside the boundary of the input layer.
A new keyword ("padding_ignore") can be added to with_density/without_density
to ignore parts outside the boundary instead of treating them as zero
density.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: <a href="https://github.com/KLayout/klayout/issues/808">#808</a><br/>
Feature suggestion: DRC to report edges attached to corners as edge pairs.

</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: DRC "flatten" did not always flatten, but kept layers hierarchically
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: DRC: a couple of new filters on edge pair layers:
<ul>
<li>with_angle/without_angle: filter by angle of the edges (one or both)</li>
<li>with_length/without_length: filter by length of the edges (one or both)</li>
<li>with_distance/without_distance: filter by distance of the edges</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Added Edge#cut_point method
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: LEF macro layouts now can be specified in UI
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: full_edge, negative output for fragmented polygon vs. small ones (space, enclosure, overlap).<br/>
In some cases, only parts of the edges were reported and negative output was
incorrect. In addition, negative output for two-layer checks - such as "l1.drc(sep(l2) > 0.2)" - now
only is produced for the primary layer. With both outputs it was difficult to separate the
components.

</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Ability to utilize a LayoutView as a Widget.<br/>

supported now. So it becomes possible to create
custom MainWindow UIs and embed a layout view there.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Improved layer and cell list filtering and searching
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Experimental 3d (called 2.5d) view of layout.<br/>

Iterated OASIS instances are stored and handled in a leaner way in viewer mode
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Buddy scripts can concatenate files with "+" for input.<br/>
Concatenation happens by "blending files". Beware of the risk this implies.
A new option "--blend-mode" has been introduced for supporting overwrite, skip
and variant formation in case of cell name conflicts. See buddy script help.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Layer maps now support n:m layer mapping.<br/>
This allows mapping n input layers to one logical layer (merging) and also
one input layer to m logical ones (clone layer). This applies to the
buddy scripts and layer maps inside KLayout's reader.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: include mechanism for easy include of files into DRC/LVS scripts.<br/>
This is a plain text substitution feature. Don't use it for Ruby or Python
scripts (the preferred way is still require/import). But it's a quick way
to include partial DRC and LVS scripts without having to worry about variable
scope. For details see "Including other files" in the documentation under:
KLayout User Manual/Design Rule Check (DRC)/DRC Runsets.

<b>Bugfix</b>: <a href="https://github.com/KLayout/klayout/issues/589">#589</a> (tentative)<br/>

<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: LVS netlist compare<br/>
The algorithm was improved to provide better reproducibility. The
detection of matching paths in the presence of ambiguities was
improved.
In addition, the netlist compare now favours net names for resolving
ambiguities. So if nets are named the same in the layout and the
schematic, ambiguities are resolved based on these names. This is
usually more efficient. A new function is available to turn this
feature off: "consider_net_names(false)".

Now there is "XLarge", "XXLarge" and "XXXLarge" as well.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: <a href="https://github.com/KLayout/klayout/issues/393">#393</a><br/>
DRC syntax errors are now shown in their original code line
of the DRC script.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: <a href="https://github.com/KLayout/klayout/issues/400">#400</a><br/>
Snap feature wasn't working for deep regions in certain use
cases.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: new "scale_and_snap" methods<br/>
These methods allow scaling and snapping of layouts. Scaling
is supported by a rational factor. After scaling, snapping can
be applied to an integer grid. There are two incarnations.
Region#scale_and_snap (or Region#scaled_and_snapped): this is
a flat implementation which allows anisotropic scaling/snapping
as well.
And there is Layout#scale_and_snap which is a fully
hierarchical scale-and-snap feature. The latter does not support
anisotropic scaling/snapping, but works hierarchically without
opening gaps. It operates on a top cell and on all layers.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: new Region#pull_* methods and DRC features<br/>
"pull_*" is a class of methods that allows rehierarchisation
of shapes. These methods act similar to "interacting", but
the other way around: instead of delivering interacting
shapes of the first argument, it will deliver shapes of
the second argument. For example, "a.pull_interacting(b)"
will deliver polygons of b which interact with polygons
of a. As a side effect, the polygons of b will be stored
hierarchically close to the polygons of a. This provides
a way to "re-hierarchise" layout.
The full class of methods and DRC functions involve:
Region#pull_interacting, Region#pull_inside, Region#pull_overlapping
and the same functions for DRC.
"pull_interacting" is also available for the Edges class
and edge layers in DRC.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Net tracer bug fix for heavily decomposed polygons<br/>
The net tracing feature now can operate on heavily decompose
polygons as well. Such layouts can be created by using a low
max. vertex count on GDS write. The problem were small
triangles with an area of 0.5 square DBU.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancements</b>: General fixes of deep DRC mode<br/>
Some inconsistencies with merged/raw mode have been
removed. Performance was enhanced in a few places.
Multithreaded mode now works more reliably.
</li>
<li>
Enhancements/bugfixes: various LVS improvements<br/>
The backtracking algorithm should work more reliable
in cases of ambiguities and floating nets or pins.
Performance should be better in some cases.
LVS script structure is less rigid now. "cheats" to
forcibly ignore hierarchy interactions for some
cells (useful for SRAM layout for example).
Still there is some work to do.

</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Hierarchical mode for DRC ("deep" keyword)<br/>
DRC can be put into hierarchical mode with the "deep"
statement at the beginning of the file.
In hierarchical mode, most operations are performed
in a hierarchical fashion - i.e. trying to maintain
as much from the original hierarchy as possible.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancements</b>: Antenna checks for DRC<br/>
DRC now got an antenna check feature. Netlist extraction
is the basis for this feature.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Hierarchical mode in XOR tool and "strmxor"<br/>
The XOR tool and the "strmxor" buddy tool provide
switches to enable hierarchical mode. These options
are considered experimental currently as XOR between
two different layouts was not the implementation goal.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Netlist extraction<br/>
KLayout supports extraction of netlists from a layout.
This is the first step towards LVS. This feature includes
an infrastructure providing netlist data structures
(with Ruby/Python bindings), Netlist readers and writers
(Spice format), device recognition and a netlist browser.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: LVS<br/>
The LVS feature is based on the netlist extraction capabilities.
It adds netlist vs. netlist compare and the corresponding
infrastructure.
LVS is a new script environment that is based on the DRC feature
and extends the DRC script language by LVS elements.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Command line option -mn to open netlist database
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Net tracer "trace all nets"<br/>
Based on the netlist extraction feature, an alternative mode
for net tracing is provided. With "trace all nets", no a single
but all nets are traced at once. Probing then happens in the
final nets extracted rather than providing the seed shape.
"Trace all nets" operates in hierarchical mode and therefore
usually is faster and has a smaller memory footprint when
extracting huge nets such as power nets.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Library browser<br/>
The library browser is a dockable tool window which shows
all libraries installed. Use drag and drop to place a library
cell from the library browser in edit mode.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Layout query enhancements<br/>
Layout queries (aka "Search and replace") now allow specification
of Variables when using the script API. The performance of queries has been
enhanced in the case of cell tree recursion.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Gridline colors<br/>
The grid lines (or dots, depending on the style) can now be given
different colors for axes, grid lines and the ruler inset.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Multiple files on import<br/>
The "File/Import/Other files into current" feature now allows
importing multiple files into the current layout.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Python standalone module<br/>
KLayout supports production of standalone Python modules
which provide the same features than the "pya" module but
for use without the KLayout binary. If installed properly,
"import klayout" will pull in all modules. "import klayout.db"
will pull in the database part.
Deployment on PyPI is supported.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Modal help dialog from modal windows<br/>
When using Assistant links in the UI, the assistant now is shown
as a modal window when called from a modal dialog. Before, the
Assistant window wasn't usable in this case.

<b>Enhancement</b>: Provide a way to specify the type of a macro<br/>
This feature is mainly useful for command line arguments.
If you run KLayout with "klayout -b -r myscript"
it will not be able to determine the type of macro without
a suffix.
You can now explicitly specify a certain type by
giving the suffix implicitly like: "klayout -b -r myscript[rb]"
This will read "myscript" but pretend it was "myscript.rb"
and execute it as Ruby script.
This feature is handy if you need to run a file with a
specific interpreter but cannot modify the file name.

</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Pass label (text) layers through DRC script<br/>
The "labels" method now allows copying labels from a layer

</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: New "split" method for polygons<br/>

RdbItem#add_value from a shape, RdbDatabase#create_items
from a shapes container or recursive shape iterator and
RdbDatabase#create_item from a shape.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: DXF and CIF "keep layer names"<br/>
If this option is set in the reader options, layer names
are not translated into GDS layer/datatype pairs.
Specifically a layer called "L5" for example is not
translated to 5/0 and to "L5D0" on output correspondingly.
The buddy script option is "--keep-layer-names".

<b>Enhancement</b>: DXF contour joining accuracy<br/>
On the DXF reader's options, a contour joining accuracy
can be specified. Small gaps smaller than this accuracy
will be closed when forming joined contours from edges.

box update and the cells only got visible after save and
load.

Fixed a polygon decomposition bug when writing GDS files
with big polygons with many holes. As a side effect, the
polygons with many holes computed by a NOT operation for
example are less complex and spikes in the cutlines are
avoided.

<b>Enhancements</b>: Many more methods in RBA/pya. For example:
<ul>
<li>Ability to directly insert "D" types (such as DBox
into layouts and cells.</li>
<li>RBA::RecursiveShapeIterator now supports complex (non-rectangular)
search regions</li>
<li>A more consistent type framework (consistent complex transformation

</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Setting "technology-data" configuration property did not work<br/>
Reading or writing the "technology-data" configuration
property is the only way to access technology data from

<b>Enhancements</b>: The RBA::Region#smooth function was enhanced to<br/>

</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancements</b>: DXF's circle approximation can now also specified<br/>

number is reduced accordingly. This also applies to the polygon
interpolation of spline and arc curves.
</li>

<b>Enhancement</b>: RBA integration now is compatible with Ruby 2.3<br/>

<p><a href='build.html#downloads'>Download links</a></p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: XOR and different or big database units:<br/>
With tiling, XOR between two layouts with different database
units was still not working correctly. Also, when the database unit
was larger than 1nm, the XOR feature was dropping results sometimes
when tiling was on.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancements</b>: progress bar shown also for "-z" mode scripts:<br/>
The solution of 0.24.7 has been modified to avoid annoying
progress bar windows popping up in background-window mode:
Now, progress bar windows will only pop up if an active main
window is present. This will enable progress bars for scripts that
open their own main windows but still keep the application GUI-less
when the script does not do so.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Crash on empty panel:<br/>
When "New/Panel" is used a view without a layout is created.
An attempt to create layout on such panels crashed the application.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: LEF reader now can read PIN statements including VIA
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Polygon smoothing was not working properly in some cases<br/>
Previously the smoothing function was sometimes dropping vertexes
from the polygons.
Smoothing now does also guarantee not to exceed the given
distance.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Sorting cells by area now sorts cells by name as second choice<br/>
In the previous version, cells with identical area were
grouped but the order was arbitrary. Now the name is used as
the second-level sorting criterion which keeps such cells
sorted by name.

<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Early delete of plugin object when returning a new object<br/>
from PluginFactory#create_plugin. The returned object was
not held, so in Ruby the GC could destroy the object. This
could lead to crashes in applications employing the Plugin API.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: It was possible to edit read-only macros.<br/>
For example, it was possible to enter new lines in macros
marked as read-only. However, these changes were not saved.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Shift+Tab not working in macro editor.<br/>
On some platforms, Shift+Tab was not working as expected.
This key combinations was supposed to left-shift a selected
block an undo indents.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Wrong scaling of layers when doing XOR's with layouts<br/>
with different database units.
This happened when the layouts had different layers and
"summarize missing layers" was disabled.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: "Search & Replace" was not working properly if named<br/>
layers were present. Specifically the shape search was not
working due to an incorrectly formed query.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Sizing produced incorrect results in case of slowly<br/>
varying polygon contours. The effect was a contour with
spiky distortions where two "almost parallel" edges
connected.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: The diff tool was not reporting differences correctly when<br/>
layers were present in one layout while they were not present
in the other. This happened specficially when "Summarize
missing layers" was disabled.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: New context mode in marker browser: "Current or Any".<br/>
In this mode, the markers are displayed in the context of the
current cell. If that is not possible because the markers are
given for cells outside the cell tree of the current cell, the
fallback is to show the markers in the current cell as in "Any"
mode.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: More consistent behaviour of cell and category filters<br/>
in the marker browser. For example, the category filter is
now also applied when selecting a node for a certain cell in
the cell branch and if nested categories are present, the
category filter is applied smarter - not just on each category.

<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Instance browser was messing up array instances sometimes.<br/>
After browsing instances, in some cases array instances got
messed up. This specifically happened with OASIS files.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Diff tool does not care about text alignment and<br/>
font properties unless in "exact" mode. Previously alignment
flags and font properties were compared in non-exact mode too
causing some confusion for example when comparing OASIS vs.
GDS.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: XOR on layouts with different database units.<br/>
Previously, the XOR tool refused to run on layouts with
different database units.

<b>Bugfix</b>: The OASIS writer's S_TOP_CELL standard property now will<br/>

<b>Bugfix</b>: The OASIS writer bailed out on 1x1 cell arrays.<br/>

RBA/pya did not provide constructors for QVariant from
GUI types like QColor and QFont. These have been added now.
The corresponding conversion functions to QColor, QFont etc.
are provided as well.

usable. For example, a double value could not be passed to
the constructor. Disambiguators have been provided to solve
these issues.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Cell/Category filter for marker browser. The marker<br/>
browser now has a filter entry box to select specific cells
or categories.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Images are cached now for faster image update.<br/>
Specifically the "fit" image will be cached and if "fit" is
selected again, the image is restored rather quickly (provided
the window is not resized). The cache depth can be configured
in "Setup/Display/Optimization".
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: "Read all other layers" option in LEF/DEF reader was<br/>
potentially assigning GDS layers which have been defined in
the layer mapping. Now, layers used in the layer map for
targets are blocked and not used for automatic assignment.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: The database unit can be configured now in LEF/DEF<br/>
import options. Previously it was fixed to 1 nm.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: RBA::LayerProperties#id was not always unique as stated<br/>
by the documentation. Specifically not after a file was loaded.

<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Layer colors are iterated for named layers without<br/>
layer numbers as well. Such layers are created when reading
DXF files for example and all layers had the same color
initially. Now, these layers will be assigned different colors.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: RBA::TilingProcess#threads was not working properly<br/>
when assigning a value of 1.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: The perimeter computation now has changed to 64 bit numerics<br/>
reducing the risk of numerical overflow. In earlier versions,
the perimeter computation of integer type shapes (polygons,
boxes, regions) was performed with 32 bit length which is
not sufficient to represent total perimeters of full layouts.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: The OASIS writer's S_TOP_CELL standard property now is<br/>
set to the correct value when using "Save cell as".
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Some patches are provided for enhanced compatibility with<br/>
MacOS. One MacOS-only bug was related to a crash when re-registering
of PCell's while developing then.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: PCell guiding shape parts could not be selected in partial<br/>
editing mode using a drawn selection box.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: The color of the guiding shapes can now be configured<br/>
individually.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: OASIS reader was not properly associating CELLNAME properties<br/>
with cells as the standard requires. Instead CELLNAME properties were
ignored.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Strict mode compatibility issues in OASIS writer:<br/>
File level PROPERTY records were not put right at the beginning of the file,
empty tables were not listed with 0 position, property value strings were
not referenced by ID and the property modal variables were referenced
sometimes after name records (specifically CELLNAME with standard
properties enabled). According to the specification, the name records
reset these variables so this is not correct. Other readers may report
errors for such files.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: OASIS writer file size reduction. Now, the OASIS writer<br/>
will opimize the arrangement of cell array instances so that
modal variables can be used for a better compaction.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: During script debugging now the Assistant window is active<br/>
even while the debugger is executing a script. The main window is
still inactive however to avoid fatal cross-interactions between
the debugger and the user interface.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: The Python PCell sample was broken.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: slowly bending paths have not been displayed correctly.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: coordinates might have been swapped in the box properties<br/>
page when switching from local to absolute coordinates and
back.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: certain ruler styles with independent x and y axis have not<br/>
been displayed properly when using a global transformation.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: the performance of "Flatten cell" is enhanced significantly<br/>
in cases of many instances.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: DRC output was producing new layers with an empty layer name<br/>
selector (no major issue, but confusing).

<p>Release date: 2015-11-05</p>
<p><a href='build.html#downloads'>Download links</a></p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: PYTHONPATH does not mess up the Windows installation any<br/>
longer. If you want to set the PYTHONPATH for KLayout, use
KLAYOUT_PYTHONPATH.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: The oasis_write_std_properties attribute of RBA::SaveLayoutOptions<br/>
did not work as described. To maintain backward compatibility and
enable the cell bounding box feature, a new attribute called
oasis_write_cell_bounding_boxes was introduced.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: "Hide all" only hides the top level layer properties, not the<br/>
members of layer groups.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: S_BOUNDING_BOX standard properties now appear after CELLNAME<br/>
records in OASIS files as required by the OASIS specification.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: The unintuitive behavior of the "Writer Options" has been changed.<br/>
Now, the writer options are applied to the saved layout always, not
just on the first save. Previously, the program remembered the options
and reused the previous options on following saves. This was quite
unintuitive since changing the properties did not necessarily affect
the way files were written.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: The starting directory for files dialogs is the "Documents"<br/>
folder on Windows now. Not the current directory which is the
installation directory usually.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Signal names are property set for RBA::QListWidget and other<br/>
objects. This enables the use of "indexesChanged" signals and eliminates
Qt runtime warnings.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Library cells were not properly loaded again after reloading<br/>
a layout which used libraries which itself referred to other libraries.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: The program crashed sometimes when using report databases with<br/>
properties.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Layers with a single box rendered wrong results in the DRC's<br/>
size function with strong undersize. The boxes did not vanish as
expected but instead were inverted.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: The build now is compatible with Python 2.6.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Reading OASIS files in strict mode with cell names consisting<br/>
of a "$" character followed by an integer number (like "$1") sometimes
messed up the cells.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: RBA::TilingProcessor could not be used both with tile size and<br/>
tile count set since setting the tile size was resetting the tile
count and vice versa.

<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Flip and Rotate function did not work as expected when the view<br/>
was descended into the hierarchy.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: RBA::BrowserDialog now also accepts a parent parameter<br/>
which are important to better integrate such dialogs into the
application.
</li>
<li>
Bugfix/enhancement: "klayout_vo.exe" now is a pure viewer application<br/>
again. By calling this executable, the edit functions cannot be
enabled and the save functions are disabled as well. Under Linux,
renaming the binary to "klayout_vo" switches KLayout into this
mode as well.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: The zoom and selection rectangle can now be dragged outside the<br/>
visible area and still define the zoom or selection rectangle.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: expressions were not coercing floating-point values consistently:<br/>
The expression "to_i(2)+1.4" rendered 3 instead of 3.4 as expected.
The sum was treated as an integer sum because the first operand is
an integer. Now the integer is converted into a floating-point value
as expected.

<p><a href='build.html#downloads'>Download links</a></p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: switched to -O2 instead of -O3 to avoid issues with certain<br/>
gcc versions for which -O3 appears to be broken.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: fixed a backward compatibility issue in scripting. Specifically<br/>
"view.each_object_selected { |s| s.shape }" will work again.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: the layer matching algorithm in the .lyp file layer assignment<br/>
is compatible with the previous version again. This specifically applies
to "wildcard" specifications. In 0.24, named and unnamed layers were
considered different even if GDS layer and datatype numbers were identical.
The effect was that if a named layer was present, a .lyp file specification
without that name was not matching the named layer and with "add other layers"
the named layer was produced again.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: "Apply all" in the object properties dialog behaves somewhat<br/>
more intuitive now. Specifically changing the path endcap styles now
works as expected. For the other properties, a choice was provided
between applying changes in a relative or absolute way. For example,
when the left edge of a box is changed, the left edges of all selected
boxes are shifted by the same amount in relative mode. In absolute mode,
the left edge will be set to the specified position for all selected boxes.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Python iterators will keep a reference to the source object now.<br/>
This avoids problems when fetching iterated properties (typically "each..." methods)
from short-living objects.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Python's StopIteration exception does no longer appear in the debugger<br/>
now. This is an exception used internally to mark the end of an iteration
sequence.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: "Path#width=" does no longer reset the round end flag.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: the "Show All" mode of the marker browser is persisted now.

<p>Release date: 2015-07-25</p>
<p><a href='build.html#downloads'>Download links</a></p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Python support: Scripts and PCells can now be coded in Python as well. Python and Ruby<br/>
scripts may coexist in the same application and they can be debugged together. The macro
IDE features a Python tab in which Python scripts can be managed.
The language features of Python and Ruby are very similar, so the features of the
integration are highly comparable and easy to translate. The Python module
name is "pya".
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: When using a layer with special hierarchy level settings (i.e. #*), the ruler did not snap to that shapes.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Qt item ownership is now transferred on some methods. For example, "QTreeWidget#insertItem" now will<br/>
transfer ownership of the item to the tree widget. Hence, when the variable holding the item goes out of scope,
the tree item will not be destroyed.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: The shape selection can now be manipulated through scripts (new LayoutView methods "object_selection=",<br/>
"select_object" etc.)
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: New edge vs. region operations are supported (edge AND region and edge MINUS region)
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: RBA/pya objects now in general feature a "_manage" and "_unmanage" method will allows releasing<br/>
the ownership over an object in cases where object lifetime control is important (specifically when passing
objects around in Qt applications).
</li>
<li>

<b>Enhancement</b>: Qt API is aligned better with C++ Qt notation. Several bug fixes, new features and stability enhancements.<br/>
For example:
New: RBA::Qt::white or RBA::Qt::GlobalColor::white
Old: RBA::Qt_GlobalColor::white
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: the debugger can now be disabled in the macro editor IDE for enhanced<br/>
script execution performance with IDE window open and less interactions between
Qt code and Macro IDE
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: DRC crashed when outputting shapes to a layer that was used as an input<br/>
in further parts of the script but has been declared as input befor the layer
was output.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: ".lyp wildcard replacement" now honors transformations as well
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Gerber import issues fixed: Zero-diameter circular apertures moves are translated into lines,<br/>
Zero-length moves must not be clear for G1 and circular apertures.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: The technology button now applies the technology even if the technology did not change.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Polygons with holes are better supported now (for example in partial editing). Such<br/>
polygons cannot be written to GDS or OASIS (they will be converted to ones without holes), but
they may be created in DRC scripts.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: "Reload layout" now doesn't forget the technology that was attached to a layout.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Box side setters now behave more consistently in scripting. Before this fix, it was not possible to<br/>
assign the sides of a box this way: "b = Box::new; b.left = 100; b.right = 300".
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: recursive library references (library referencing itself indirectly) made the application<br/>
crash.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Subclass mapping sometimes failed in certain cases. This was particular annoying in Qt's event<br/>
handlers since "QKeyEvent" (or similar classes) only showed up "QEvent".
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: "Move selection to" function available in "Edit/Selection/Move To". With this function,<br/>
the selection (shapes are instances) can be moved to a specific position. You can specify the
reference point to use. For example the center of the bounding box.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Menu icon assignment was not working in some cases within scripts.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Readonly (global) macros could be edited but not saved.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Instances could be selected even if they had only invalid layers.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: The application now features a crash handler. This handler gives some debugging information<br/>
about the crash which you can send together with a bug report. In some cases, the crash handler will
allow continuing to work with the application although it's highly advisable to save and close.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Registering plugins through the script's plugin API sometimes disabled view features.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: The macro IDE is not automatically put in the foreground any more. This sometimes interfered with<br/>
modal dialogs shown from a macro.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: The macro IDE now features watch expressions which are automatically evaluated when in a<br/>
breakpoint.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancements</b>: The "Save Layout" options are now separated from the save function. That means they can<br/>
be configured once and the dialog will not pop up always when saving. This way, "Save All" is provided
which will save all open files with the current options.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: A "Close All" function to close all open layouts.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: In scripted layout loads, multiple files can be loaded into the same layout object. In that<br/>
case, the content of the files are merged. This worked so far with GDS. Now this also works with OASIS.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: OASIS int-typed properties now as written as such. Before, they have been written as strings.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: sizing code and path to polygon translation now will better maintain 45-degree edges.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: DRC support for edge/polygon booleans ("edges AND polygons" will select the edges inside the polygons,<br/>
"edges MINUS polygons" will remove the edges inside the polygons)
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Global layout properties supported as well. Layout properties can be edited by selecting<br/>
"User Properties" in "File/Layout Properties". They are written to OASIS. Writing to GDS2 is optional since
that may create compatibility issues with other tools.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: The OASIS writer will now produce some standard properties: "S_TOP_CELL", "S_BOUNDING_BOX",<br/>
"S_CELL_OFFSET", "S_MAX_SIGNED_INTEGER_WIDTH", "S_MAX_UNSIGNED_INTEGER_WIDTH" and "S_BOUNDING_BOXES_AVAILABLE".
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: User properties of cells are available in cell context menu too: this way there can be<br/>
browsed in non-editable mode too.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: "Degenerated" polygons (one or two points) can be created in scripts now when using "raw" mode.<br/>
Such polygons are useful in the context of Minkowsky sums for example.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: The application crashed when the macro currently running was deleted.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: "Search & replace" now is available in viewer mode too, but without the ability to replace or<br/>
delete.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: In menu paths, appending a "+" to the path means to add something after that item.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Guiding shapes are only selected if the PCell corresponding to them is visible.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: there is a clearer indication now that 'Show layers without fill' is on.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: a new mode is available in which PCell content can be selected too. When editing things inside<br/>
PCells however, PCell recomputation may revert these edits.
The mode is found in "File/Setup", "Application/Selection" page.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Edge set boolean operations have been too selective with respect to almost-parallel edges.<br/>
Now a tolerance is applied allowing edges to deviate by ~1 dbu.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Search & replace: texts, paths and boxes are exported into report databases.<br/>
Shapes and instances are shown in micron coordinates and as seen in top.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: "Apply all" in properties dialogs: with this function, a specific change is applied to<br/>
all shapes or instances of the same class. For example a path width change is applied to all other selected
paths. The change will be applied smartly (hopefully), so that the intention of the change is preserved.
For example a left edge shift for a box will be turned into the same shift for all other selected boxes.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: multiple categories can be selected in the marker browser now.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: the instance properties page now shows the cell dimensions (which are not editable of course).
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: box property editing is less tedious - the left and right coordinates will now swap if the order<br/>
changes and the mode (width/center or coordinates) is maintained.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Report databases now support "tagged values" (values with a name) which are shown in the marker<br/>
list. The markers can be sorted by these values, provided they are string or numerical values.
RVE properties are read as tagged values.
</li>

<b>Bugfix</b>: partial edit mode - a cell could be selected even if not visible<br/>
With the new version, the selection behavior of normal selection
and partial selection are somewhat more consistent.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: The CIF reader was not able to read CIF files with line breaks<br/>
Commands with line breaks separating arguments were not read
correctly.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Printout now considers global transformation correctly<br/>
Previously, the global transformation was ignored on printout
and for screenshots.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Partial edit mode now also supports polygons with holes<br/>
Polygons with holes are rare since they cannot be represented
in GDS or OASIS files. But they can be generated in DRC scripts.
Now, such polygons can be edited in partial edit mode too.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: LEF/DEF reader now correctly uses half the path width for path extension<br/>
Previously the default value was 0.

<b>Bugfix</b>: Library update was not working properly for OASIS reader<br/>
OASIS files with library references had as issue when updating
the library cells: cell deleted in the library were not deleted
in the layout.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Warning, when drawing on invisible layers<br/>
Previously there was not feedback: the shape was drawn, but not
visible. Now, a warning pops up when trying to draw on invisible
layers. This warning can be disabled.

<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
Bugfix/Enhancement: CIF compatibility. The reader was not fully<br/>
compatible with the specification. For example, lower-case
characters have not been ignored as specified. This has been
fixed among other compatibility issues.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: The CIF writer now has an option to use blank characters<br/>
as x/y separator. Some tools apparently don't like comma
characters for separators (that is still the default).
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: The CIF writer now has an option to emit dummy cell<br/>
calls on top level to reference the top cells. The top-level
entity is unnamed and does not correspond to a cell. Despite
that some tools require these entities not to be empty and
hold dummy references to the real top cells at least.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Key bindings to default grid menu entries were not working
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: When a layer was deleted and a shape on that layer was<br/>
selected, the application crashed
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Search and replace sometimes gave an internal error, for<br/>
example with the following query:
'with * do cell.name = "A" + cell.name'
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Search and replace was crashing when trying to delete<br/>
instances.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Net tracer bug: the first selected shape was always taken as<br/>
a whole even if parts were disabled through boolean NOT
operations.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Net tracer was using the wrong origin when working in<br/>
"descend" mode.
</li>
<li>
Bugfix/Enhancement: The technology setup now features "read all" and<br/>
"add other layers" flags for the reader mapping table and
the layer properties. Before, the global flags were used
causing some confusion. With the new options the behavior
can be configured consistently.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: The file dialogs now remember the file type chosen.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: The application issues a error message when trying to<br/>
write very big images instead of crashing
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Two new Ruby methods to write image files. These new<br/>
methods are LayoutView#save_image_with_options and LayoutView#
get_image_with_options. These methods allow configuration of
more features for the image generation like box to draw,
oversampling etc.

<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: DEF reader: E and W pin orientation was swapped.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: DEF reader: PIN definitions are read correctly even if<br/>
the PLACED statement comes before the LAYER statement.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: LEF reader: deprecated keyword TOPOPSTACKONLY is<br/>
ignored for VIA statements now instead of giving an error.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: DEF reader: the reader now is able to read BLOCKAGE<br/>
definitions. Currently, routing and placement blockages are
supported. The layers they appear on can be configured the
in the same fashion than for the other elements.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Typing in the Macro Editor was slow if many macros were<br/>
bound to menus.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: GDS AREF's with pitches not a multiple of the database<br/>
unit are split into individual arrays rather than simply
rounding the pitch. The disadvantage of the rounding solution
was an accumulation of rounding errors over the array instances
leading to a substantial deviation from the target location.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: Paths have sometimes not been displayed properly,<br/>
specifically paths with a small segment length and sharp bends.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: DXF reader: bulges have not been ignored on the last vertex<br/>
of a non-closed POLYLINE as they should.

</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Transparency is now supported for images (as a mask only - not a real<br/>
alpha channel, but close to).
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: The layer/datatype assignment for purely named layers originating from<br/>
DXF or CIF has changed. It's now no longer done when reading DXF or CIF but when
writing the file. This solution is more general and allows some level of control,
i.e. by scripts.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: "http:..." URLs are now allowed as file names - such files are loaded<br/>
from the URL instead. Such URL's can be used from the command line or within scripts
for example. Drag and drop of HTTP URLs is also support. This allows dropping of
URLs from the browser into KLayout.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Menus have been rearranged:<br/>
The "Tools" menu was split into "Tools" and "Macros", "Verification" menu has been
resolved into the "Tools" menu.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: New command line options are available:<br/>
"-nn" to load .lyt (technology file) on command line. "-b" for batch mode (implies some
batch-mode specific options), "-zz" for display-less applications.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: "Adjust cell origin" now adjusts the cell in their parents as well (optional).
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Cells can have properties now: Cells can now have user properties as well.<br/>
However, writing these properties to files is subject to some constraints. Cell
properties are fully supported on OASIS and optionally supported on GDS using
an extension feature.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Transformations are now available for whole layout (applied to all cells).<br/>
This is specifically useful for scaling layouts.

contexts, drop hidden cells, keep instances even if cells are dropped.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Layers can now be made invalid. Invalid layers don't participate in selection or<br/>
snapping.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Multi-selection on 'open layout' allows to open many files at once.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: DRC functionality: a rich DRC engine was integrated in the tool. The<br/>
implementation is flat, so performance is limited compared to hierarchical tools. A tiling
approach is available to distribute tasks on multiple CPU's to somewhat mitigate that issue.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: Search and replace feature plus custom queries: the search & replace functionality<br/>
is just the tip of the iceberg. "custom queries" are a powerful feature to perform
queries and modifications using a SQL-like language.

<b>Enhancement</b>: Some enhancements on LEF/DEF import: i.e. proper default routing rule with octagon<br/>
ends implementedin DEF, NONDEFAULTRULES for LEF reader

<a name='0.22.4'></a>
<p>Release date: 2012-12-30</p>
<p><a href='build.html#downloads'>Download links</a></p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: a drawing problem was fixed which created invalid images in certain<br/>
cases.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: multi-tab .lyp files could not be used correctly as default layer<br/>
properties files.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: the macro IDE crashed sometimes when adding a new location.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: the application crashed when the net tracer window was open and a new<br/>
layout was loaded into the same panel.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: a memory leak was happening when a boolean operation (in particular<br/>
inside the XOR tool) was cancelled.
</li>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: when inserting an instance using the lower left corner of the bounding<br/>
box as the reference point, rotations have not been handled correctly.
</li>
<li>
<b>Enhancement</b>: the "detailed" view of a net's properties in the net tracer now<br/>
reports area and perimeter of the net's shapes (only available for nets up to
~2000 shapes to avoid timeouts on computation). Thanks to Peter for providing
the raw version of that code.
</li>
<li>
DXF reader enhancements:<br/>
Support for "999" comment records. DIMENSION and SPLINE entities are supported
now to some extent. "fit" formatting of TEXT objects supported now.
Holes are correctly formed now from multiple POLYLINE/LINE items when combining
them into polygons.
</li>
<li>
DXF writer: HATCH entries are written in a compatible way now. Text formatting<br/>
flags are fixed (top and bottom formatting was swapped).
</li>

<p>Release date: 2012-11-25</p>
<p><a href='build.html#downloads'>Download links</a></p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Bugfix</b>: a segmentation fault sometimes happened in the drawing engine
</li>
<li>
DXF reader enhancements:<br/>
Anisotropic scaling of instances is supported. LWPOLYLINES with both common and
variable width are handled more gracefully. Closed polylines produce closed shapes
now, not closed paths.
</li>
<li>
Selecting of instances with non-orthogonal transformations is easier now
</li>
<li>
The local config files now override the global one again like this was in 0.21.x.
</li>
<li>
A compile problem with older gcc's (namely gcc 4.4) was fixed.
</li>
<li>
Selection of cells in the cell tree now has been fixed (before that sometimes<br/>
cells were selected in addition to current ones instead of being the only
one selected).
</li>
<li>
The RVE DB reader was enhanced to read error waivers and certain new forms of the<br/>
RVE file.
</li>
<li>
The align operation now works also if there is not a primary and secondary<br/>
selection (i.e. selection by box)
</li>
<li>
"Layer pollution" does not happen when instantiating a PCell or library cell<br/>
which is instantiated in another panel
</li>
<li>
PCell layer parameters now can be set to any layer which is present in the<br/>
layer list, not just the ones which are created already in the database
</li>
<li>
The round corners function has been fixed for certain cases. In particular<br/>
the limitations are less strict (for example it is possible now to create
a donut from a square with a hole). Changing of the radius later now works
more reliably.
</li>
<li>
"Shallow copy mode" now works again for copy & paste of instances. Previously<br/>
instances were always copies in deep copy mode which creates new cells.
</li>
<li>
Move of partial selection now works like the move function for other objects:<br/>
select a subset of edges, click on them to start dragging and click again to
drop them.
</li>
<li>
Arrow keys don't interfere with move by mouse mode any longer. Previously using<br/>
the arrow keys while moving objects with the mouse had strange effects.

<a name='0.22.2'></a>
<p>Release date: 2012-11-01</p>
<p><a href='build.html#downloads'>Download links</a></p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
Copy & and paste of PCell or library instances across layouts did not work<br/>
Instead, the cell was duplicated, but it's no longer a PCell or library cell.
</li>
<li>
"klayout -v" was segmentation faults<br/>
The -v option is supposed to print the version number. After printing it,
the executable terminates with a segmentation fault.
</li>
<li>
'Real' unicode file names could not be used<br/>
Using Unicode filenames (i.e. Chinese) file names did not work properly.
In particular these files were not opened on Windows. Unicode file names were
not recorded properly in the "recently used" list.
In version 0.22.2, unicode files names can be used in all places on Windows
and Linux.
</li>
<li>
Some LEF import issues solved<br/>
The outline layer was not always generated correctly. Pin labels were not generated
on pin shapes for LEF import.
</li>
<li>
KLayout was crashing on exit when the clipboard contained something<br/>
The application issued a segmentation fault on exit (or "is not working" on Windows)
when the clipboard contained data.
</li>
<li>
Ruby debugger crashed in some cases<br/>
In some cases (i.e. breakpoint in a widget callback) the debugger crashed with a
"Stack level too deep" message.
</li>
<li>
Instances of leaf cells were always copied "flat" to another layout<br/>
There was no way to copy the instance plus cells before this was fixed.
</li>
<li>
Sometimes PCell variants remain as top level cells<br/>
If the Instance function was cancelled and a PCell was active, a new top cell remained
which held the PCell that was about to be placed. These cells could be deleted manually,
but that may be annoying.
</li>
<li>
Help index cache was growing large in some cases<br/>
When switching between versions, the help index that KLayout creates once grew larger
every time a new program version was used. This increased startup times of the program.
</li>
<li>
An "abs" function was missing expressions
</li>
<li>
Experimental support for 64bit coordinates is provided.<br/>
To enable 64bit coordinates, use "-with-64bit-coord" on the build script. This feature
requires gcc >= 4.4 and a 64bit platform. 64bit coordinate support is "experimental"
because of some known issues (i.e. it is possible to write corrupt GDS files with such large
coordinates). OASIS on the other hand supports 64bit coordinates.

<li>
GDS text size as based on micron instead of user units<br/>
Because of this the text object size were not be correct if the user unit was not micron.
</li>
<li>
Arrow keys behaved differently<br/>
This had annoying effects if one was used to a particular behavior. The operation of the
arrow keys was restored in some places but still moving with the keys in move mode is
possible.
</li>
<li>
-z option worked differently<br/>
"-z" is not a true "non-GUI" mode, in which no XServer connection is made on
Linux. The advantage of this is that KLayout can be used as a engine on display-less
servers. In 0.22, some user-interface related objects were not available in Ruby code.
Some scripts depending on MainWindow or LayoutView objects were not working
because these objects are no longer available. In 0.22.1 the original behavior of "-z"
was restored and instead, "-zz" was implemented as a different, true display-less mode
</li>
<li>
KLayout was crashing when using custom key bindings on some platforms<br/>
On some platforms, apparently Linux and recent Qt versions, KLayout crashed when
custom key bindings are defined and the respective key is pressed.
</li>
<li>

<li>
A basic library is provided adding text generation for example to KLayout.<br/>
See About The Basic Library for details.
</li>
<li>
The net tracer now allows to use layer combinations (derived by boolean operations)<br/>
for the conductive and via layers. See The Net Tracing Feature for details.
</li>
<li>
A technology management is integrated into Klayout.<br/>
That allows to switch various settings depending on the chosen technology.
See About Technology Management for details about this feature.
</li>
<li>
The drawing can now be rotated or flipped without having to modify the layout.<br/>
This function can be found in the "Display" menu under "Global Transformation".
</li>
<li>
The "background" combination mode allows to erase parts of existing shapes or<br/>
add new parts to existing shapes. The background combination mode is available
as a new drop-down button in the toolbar.
</li>
<li>
A "cell variant" generation function simplifies hiearchical editing.<br/>
See Create Cell Variants for details about this feature.
</li>
<li>
General performance improvement of the render.<br/>
This has been achieved by bitmap caching of cells and various optimisation measures.
</li>
<li>
Images now can be aligned with a layout using landmark points.<br/>
The possible image transformations now include shear and perspective distortions.
See Using Landmarks To Align Images
</li>
<li>
Images can now be stacked and moved to the bottom and to the top.<br/>
The configuration now is stored along with additional configuration data
(i.e. libraries) in a per-user directory in "~/.klayout" on Linux and in the application
data path on Windows. The configuration file now is found there and is called "klayoutrc".
New locations can be added using $KLAYOUT_PATH.
</li>
<li>
The database unit of the layout can be changed now in the layout properties page<br/>
(menu: "File/Layout Properties").
</li>
<li>
Most numeric input boxes now accept formulas,<br/>
i.e. "1254+3221" instead of a single value.
</li>
<li>
By clicking a on single point multiple times you can now cycle the selection through all objects below the point.
</li>
<li>
Layers can be copied (menu: "Edit/Layer/Copy Layer").
</li>
<li>
The selection can be duplicated (menu: "Edit/Duplicate" or Ctrl+B).
</li>
<li>
The size of the default font can now be adjusted (choose between small (current),<br/>
medium and large on the Display/General page of the setup dialog).
</li>
<li>
The number of points used for circle interpolation can now be adjusted<br/>
on the Application/Circles page of the setup dialog.
</li>
<li>
Some changes to make the user interface more consistent, i.e. "Synchonized views"<br/>
has been moved to "Display" where most users where expecting it to be.
</li>
<li>
The selection now can be moved with the cursor keys in move mode.
</li>
<li>
The cell selection dialog allows to specify glob pattern wildcards in the filter box now.
</li>
<li>
OASIS CBLOCK compression and strict mode writing is supported now.
</li>
<li>
Multiple cells now can be selected in the cell tree. Some functions operate on that set (i.e. delete, copy, hide).
</li>
<li>
KLayout now has a LEF/Def import feature. See About LEF/DEF Import for details.
</li>
<li>
This feature is somewhat experimental. Feedback is welcome about that feature.<br/>
Solved bugs:
</li>
<li>
Edit/Select/Disable All not working<br/>

<p>Release date: 2010-11-28</p>
<p><a href='build.html#downloads'>Download links</a></p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
Support for DXF format (reading and writing).<br/>
ASCII and binary format are supported. There is an open issue how to
represent layouts with multiple top cells. Currently, the ENTITY section
is always empty and all cells are put into BLOCKS sections. DXF units
will be micron and the database unit must be selected manually when
layouts are read.
</li>
<li>
Support for CIF format (reading and writing).<br/>
There is an open issue how to deal with paths. By default, CIF states
that paths are supposed to have round ends. Obviously that interpretation
is not commonly used. Options are provided which control how path objects
are read and written.
</li>
<li>
Tabs for the layer panel. This feature is explained here.
</li>
<li>
Flat cell list and cell list sorting modes. The feature is explained here.
</li>
<li>
Dockable tool boxes.<br/>
Layer list, cell list, layer toolbox and navigator are now dockable and
can be dragged to another location, torn off the main window or closed
with Qt's standard dockable window controls. The position and the state
of the dockable windows is saved in the settings and session files.
</li>
<li>
A ruler embedded in the background image.<br/>
Now, a small ruler is embedded into the background which shows the
dimension scale similar to a map. It can be disabled in the setup dialog
on the "Display/Background" page.
</li>
<li>
Image quality enhancement by oversampling. The feature is explained here.
</li>
<li>
The "Diff" tool. The Diff tool produces a marker database containing a<br/>
description of the differences. A detailed description can be found here.
</li>
<li>
Snapping to objects is provided as an option for edit mode. In this mode,<br/>
the mouse snaps to vertices and edges of visible objects. This mode can
be enabled with the "Objects" checkbox on the "Editor Options" page (F3
key or "Edit/Editor Options" menu).
</li>
<li>
The reference point for the placement of instances now is the lower left<br/>
point of the placed cell's bounding box, not the origin.
</li>
<li>
Dialog geometry persistent now.<br/>
Marker, shape and instance browsers now save their geometries and
splitter pane configurations when the application exits.
</li>
<li>
Instance placement now uses bbox origin, not cell origin.<br/>
This simplifies placement of cells with their origin not aligned with
the content.
</li>
<li>
Fill (tiling) tool. The tool is found in "Edit/Utilities/Fill Tool". A<br/>
detailed description can be found here.
</li>
<li>
In some places, particular in the ruler display string, expressions can<br/>
be used. For rulers, the previous display string placeholder scheme is
replaced by the more powerful expression expansion scheme (see Ruler
properties for details).
</li>
<li>
Build support for VC++ and Visual Studio 2010. The Windows 64bit build<br/>
now is based on that environment. Note: Visual Studio 2010 no longer
supports Windows 2000. To use KLayout on Windows 2000, a legacy build
based on MinGW is provided.

<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
Import option for Gerber PCB data ("File/Import" menu entry). Details<br/>
about this function can be found in the Importing Gerber PCB files
section in the advanced features manual.
</li>
<li>
A function to import another stream file into the current file.<br/>
This avoids having to use copy & paste and provides a couple of nice
options. Details about this function can be found in the Importing other
layout files section in the advanced features manual.
</li>
<li>
A simple XOR tool providing a flat XOR between two layouts. A tolerance<br/>
can be set to suppress small deviations. A tiling option is provided to
reduce memory requirements for large layouts. The flat approach probably
limits the application to "almost flat", small to medium sized layouts.
Details about this function can be found in the The XOR tool section in
the advanced features manual.
</li>
<li>
A net tracing tool to trace single nets of conductive layers connected<br/>
through via shapes. The function is intended for extracting single small
nets and it's not performance optimized for the case of huge power nets.
Details about this function can be found in the The net tracing feature
section in the advanced features manual.
</li>
<li>
A navigator window that shows current view's rectangle and allows to<br/>
control the rectangle by dragging or resizing it.
</li>
<li>
Multi threading support for drawing increases the drawing performance on<br/>
multi-core CPU's by rendering different layers on different CPU's. The
number of threads to use can be set in the setup dialog in the "Display"
group under "Optimizations". By default, a single thread is used.
</li>
<li>
"Make array" method ("Edit/Selection" menu) to multiply the selection<br/>
into an array arrangement.
</li>
<li>
A function to add a layout already loaded to a view ("File/Pull In<br/>
Other Layout").
</li>
<li>
A function to scan a layer's geometry and create a marker database from<br/>
that. The menu function is found in the "Tools/Verification" menu. It
will scan all selected layers either flat or hierarchical and create a
marker database containing the shapes as markers.
</li>
<li>
Layer mapping on input: the reader options now allow to specify a<br/>
mapping together with a layer specification. In addition to specifying
the layers to read, a target can be given which specifies which layer
the shapes will be stored under (See "Reader Options" dialog found in
the "File" menu).
</li>
<li>
A couple of new display options:<br/>
o Abstract mode (shows only the outer interfacing shapes of child cells.
o Child hierarchy level layout can be configured to be shown in different
brightness, hollow fill or static neutral color to differentiate top
level from bottom level layout.
o Enhancements for the hierarchy level specifications in the layer source
notation.
</li>
<li>
A log viewer is provided to catch warning messages. The menu entry to open<br/>
the log viewer is found in the "File" menu.
</li>
<li>
The setup dialog has been reorganized to make room for more property pages.
</li>
<li>
Instances now show the cell's content when being moved instead just a<br/>
rectangle. This feature can be disabled.
</li>
<li>
Various usability enhancements (i.e. mouse cursor now shows activity,<br/>
status bar shows short shape statistics etc.).
</li>
<li>
An option to not write empty cells.
</li>
<li>
Support for missing cells in the input layout: those cells get marked and<br/>
are not produced in the output unless they have received content. That
allows to load and save layouts with missing cells without producing empty
cells for those missing cells.
</li>
<li>
Some new functions in the layer list context menu ("Show All", "Hide All",<br/>
"Show Only Selected").
</li>

Images: it is possible now to load image files (JPG, GIF, TIFF etc.) and<br/>
display them below the drawn layout. The display of the images can be
adjusted in many ways, i.e. placement, scaling, rotation, mirroring,
color/contrast/brightness adjustments and false color mapping for gray
level images. Images are fully supported by RBA. The feature is described
in detail in Adding images.
</li>
<li>
Marker browser: the marker browser is based on the report database (RDB).<br/>
This is a new concept that has been introduced as a container for report
items, in particular marker objects but also for a number of additional
annotations including screenshots for documentation. An import of Calibre
DRC databases is provided. The RDB is fully supported by RBA.
The feature is described in detail in The marker browser.
</li>
<li>
Some enhancements for the layer views: invisible layers are now shown<br/>
differently in a "collapsed" way. Thus, the layer's colors and styles are
still recognizable. The new features are described in detail in Telling
used from unused layers.
</li>
<li>
In the layer list, unused layers can now be hidden and layers without<br/>
shapes in view can be marked unused or hidden. The normal mode of marking
layers unused when the cell does not contain any shapes at all is still
available. Both modes are available as checkable items in the layer list's
context menu.
</li>
<li>
A "View" menu has been added with fast access to certain display options,<br/>
i.e. turn grid on an off. A number of default grids can be defined for
quick selection in the "View" menu. On request, the tool bar can now be
hidden as well as the layer and hierarchy lists.
</li>
<li>
A key binding editor is provided. This way, all menu functions can be<br/>
assigned arbitrary key shortcuts in a more comfortable ways.
</li>
<li>
The mid mouse button can be used to pan (drag) the view window now.

<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
Some new editing capabilities: flatten, make cell, clear layer and a clip<br/>
function.
</li>
<li>
Some RBA extensions, in particular the ability to modify layout by deleting<br/>
shapes and instances, replacing and transforming them, changing property
handles etc.
</li>
<li>
Support for global preset of configuration (through a file called "layviewrc"<br/>
beside the executable binary) and a global RBA initialisation file (a file
called "rbainit" beside the executable binary).
</li>
<li>
Transient selection: indicates by a faint selection marker what object is<br/>
below the mouse (can be disabled).
</li>
<li>
The layer specification (layer, datatype, name) can be now be edited which<br/>
allows to move a complete layer to a different one.
</li>
<li>
Undo buffering can now be disabled on the command line with the '-i' option.<br/>
This saves the memory otherwise required for storing the replay information.
</li>
<li>
Directional constraints can be modified by using the Shift and Ctrl modifiers<br/>
on various operations such as rulers, movement, drawing etc.
</li>
<li>
Now there is a 'most recently used' list ("Open Recent" in the "File" menu)<br/>
which shows the last layouts opened for easy re-opening.
</li>
<li>
Reduced memory requirements for particular OASIS constructs (random repetitions)
</li>
<li>
The instance browser now has a "Choose cell" button where the cell can be<br/>
chosen whose instances will be presented.
</li>
<li>
For most editing operations, the status bar will now indicate more detailed<br/>
information such as move distance.
</li>
<li>
Pasted shapes and instances now are selected initially.
</li>
<li>
Enhanced OASIS compression mode (can be chosen from the options dialog on<br/>
saving). Reduces file size considerably by creating regular shape arrays if
possible at the cost of higher memory consumption and longer writing times.
</li>
<li>
Various bug fixes (i.e. see Known bugs in version 0.15).

<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
A couple of RBA extensions: API's for shape properties, rulers and geometry<br/>
selections.
</li>
<li>
A bugfix for the OASIS reader (sometimes crashing the reader on<br/>
CBLOCK-compressed input)
</li>
<li>
A function to descend into a cell in the hierarchy but keeping the context,<br/>
which is shown in dimmed colors. This function can be found in the "Display"
menu and is called "Descend". To use this function, select a shape or instance
inside the cell into which to descend. "Descend" then enters the next cell
along the path that leads to the selected shape or instance.
</li>
<li>
The mouse wheel can be used to zoom in and out.
</li>
<li>
Shift+right mouse button pressed now allows to "drag" layout in a "Google maps" fashion.
</li>
<li>

</li>
<li>
A ruby console is provided where ruby commands can be executed interactively.
</li>
<li>
The way how the selection is displayed can be configured now (color, line width<br/>
and vertex size).
</li>
<li>
The interrupt signal now is enabled again even if Ruby is activated (Ctrl+C<br/>
now works again).

<p>Release date: 2007-11-02</p>
<p><a href='build.html#downloads'>Download links</a></p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
Support for arbitrary angles on cell instances.
</li>
<li>
A bugfix for the OASIS reader (CTRAPEZOIDS have not been read in some<br/>
cases). The OASIS reader now uses shape arrays to achieve are smaller
memory footprint in some cases.
</li>
<li>
Multiple transformations are now allowed on layer source expressions<br/>
(see Transforming views and property selectors for a detailed description).
</li>
<li>
Rulers now are configurable to a large extent. Multiple ruler templates may<br/>
be defined from which a certain ruler type can be chosen. Some of the new
ruler styles are no longer "rulers" but rather "annotations". See Ruler
properties for a description of that feature.
</li>
<li>
Last, but not least: KLayout now can be scripted to some extend using Ruby<br/>
as the scripting language. For more information about this feature, see
RBA introduction.

<p>Release date: 2007-06-26</p>
<p><a href='build.html#downloads'>Download links</a></p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
Some bugs were fixed in the OASIS implementation. CBLOCK compression now<br/>
is supported. Forward cell name references (numerical ID is used before
being associated with a string) are supported as now. File global properties
are now read correctly. A bug reading certain CTRAPEZOID objects was fixed.
(Still, forward references are not allowed for text/property strings or
property names).
</li>
<li>
A layout properties dialog has been added that shows basic properties of<br/>
the layout such as top cells, layers and others.
</li>
<li>
The "Select Cell" dialog has been enhanced with the capability to hide<br/>
and show multiple cells in the cell list.
</li>
<li>
A "zoom fit" mouse gesture was implemented: moving the mouse up and right<br/>
with the right mouse button pressed now fits the current cell into the window.
Moving up and left still zooms out.
</li>
<li>
A bug in the GDS2 reader, dropping polygon points in rare cases, was fixed

<a name='0.10'></a>
<p>Release date: 2007-05</p>
<p><a href='build.html#downloads'>Download links</a></p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
The build script has been enhanced and supports Qt installations with<br/>
different locations for binaries, libraries and headers. See the Build
section for details about this.
</li>
<li>
OASIS files can be read as well now. The reader automatically determines<br/>
the kind of file. OASIS layer names are supported. Due to the complexity
of the OASIS specification, or more precisely the effort required to test
a reader for meeting the specification, OASIS support currently is regarded
to be in "beta" state.
</li>
<li>
Layers can now be organized hierarchically. Layers can be grouped which<br/>
allows to control visibility and other properties for the group as a whole.
Layers can be removed from the layer view list or new layer views can be created.
</li>
<li>
The layout can be transformed (rotated, shifted, mirrored) now. This<br/>
transformation is specified in the layer panel as a part of the layer
source specification. An optional transformation can be applied per layer
or layer group. This way for example, different layouts can be aligned
over each other.
</li>
<li>
Shape properties now are supported. Each shape may carry optional<br/>
properties that are read from GDS or OASIS files. A property selector
can be applied per layer view, so that a layer only shows these shapes
that match the given property selection.
</li>
<li>
As an experimental feature, the inverse layout tree can be visualised<br/>
by allowing the minimum hierarchy level to go into the negative range.
The effect of this is, that a cell is shown in the context of all of
it's direct parents, if the first hierarchy level is set to -1. If set
to -2, the cell is shown in the context of all of it's parents and
grandparents and so on. Since there is no particular optimization for
this feature, performance may be poor, if a cell must be painted in a
huge number of contexts. In addition, the context displayed does not
participate in selection or ruler snapping.
