* [Navigator] "Run script" from context menu
* [VHDL Editor] Debug report visualization
############### [0.10.3] ##################
2012.03.07
If you are planning to use Python scripting, set PYTHONPATH environment variable to point to the directory with Python libraries. One such directory is provided within the zamiaCAD installation package at zamiaCAD-0.10.3/Lib/. And don't forget to start zamiaCAD/Eclipse from the command line so that the environment variable loads properly.
The most important changes in this release include:
- [CORE] Through signal assignment search implemented (static analysis feature).
- [CORE] First tool integration: GHDL is used to obtain messages for syntax errors.
- [CORE] Simulator scripts added.
- [CORE] [UI] Script execution from within Eclipse GUI enabled.
- [UI] Lots of Eclipse plug-in UI improvements:
- [UI] Tooltips on mouse hover (aka F2) + presenting trailing comments in the tooltip.
- [UI] Hyperlink references.
- [UI] Proper coverage highlighting implemented, hit count added to vertical column + overview ruler.
Full list of changes:
- [CORE] Fixed persistence of ZDB indices, previously polluted with old data.
- [CORE] Syntax error and simulation error (file_open error) reporting improved.
- [CORE] Added recovery from corrupted ZDB, to make zamia more reliable and recoverable.
- [CORE] Bug in finding proper declaration of overloaded procedure fixed.
- [CORE] Fixed missing location for alias declarations.
- [UI] Tooltips on mouse hover (aka F2) + presenting trailing comments in the tooltip.
- [UI] Hyperlink only declared references, not the keywords.
- [UI] Fixed hanging of hyperlink detector.
- [UI] Problem indicator added to Editor's title, in case of syntax errors etc.
- [UI] Fixed multiple problems with file names in Eclipse UI.
- [CORE] Through-signal assignment search implemented (static analysis feature).
- [CORE] [UI] Script execution from within Eclipse GUI enabled.
- [CORE] Simulator scripts added.
- [CORE] Several simulator fixes, missing functionality implementation.
- [CORE] First tool integration: GHDL is used to obtain messages for syntax errors. Works only in Linux at the moment. Requires PYTHONPATH environment variable to be set by users to point to a directory with python libraries. One such directory is provided within the zamiaCAD installation package at zamiaCAD-0.10.3/Lib/.
- [UI] Proper coverage highlighting implemented, hit count added to vertical column.
- [UI] Overview ruler added for debugger highlighting.

- user can switch between multiple BuildPath files to select the active one (Context menu => "Touch to build").
- project creating wizard made more convenient (incl. toplevel specification).
- more readable path names in navigator.
- support for individual files in BuildPath.
