Mixxx

What's new in this version:

Features:
- (partial) LEF/DEF PIN labels are taken from NET, not PIN name
- GDS2 files with meta info are not read by old versions of KLayout
- DXF file parsing error, about spline curve
- Python Binding / Layout / find_layer broken for layer "name"
- Feature request: "%include" in macros should allow including XML files too
- Add option to filter out geometric primitives from Marker Database Browser Info widget
- strm2oas def ignores path segment after + VIRTUAL + RECT
- Fix def syntax error in testdata/lefdef/viasize2/test.def
- Zoom (in) function with selected layers significantly slower in newer releases

Enhancements:
- Provide a configuration option to switch back to old-style text selection (at origin only)
- Relative margin for Marker Database Browser
- Support for label position in Marker Database Browser
- Add a default extension to file names unless one is given
- Selection on partial mode enhanced: allow selection of edge ends if edges overlap, graphical indicator for selected partial
- Wheel events do no longer change Combo Box selections
- DRC/LVS: log output overhead reduced for faster execution in small layout cases
- Added RBA::Image/pya.Image constructor taking QImage and PixelBuffer
- Point objects are native citizens now of the database and act as representatives for handles, better editing and visualization of the latter
- Macro editor has "find previous" button now
- Mitigate the effect of overriding a globally-defined technology with -nn on the command line by creating tech variants
- LEF/DEF map files now allow LEFPINNAME and PINNAME purpose to map pin labels in a more consistent way

Fixed:
- Tilde expansion wasn't working for layout write
- Python specific API documentation did not mention disambiguation for property/method ambiguity
- Python error messages are more readable and contain the exception class
- PCell layer-type parameters did not work without a default value
- Point-like PCell handles now cannot be spoiled any longer in partial mode
- "Duplicate" was also duplicating cells or layers depending on the scope which was irritating. Now it's confined to geometry
- DRC/LVS logs list the correct line also with include files
- "report" wasn't working in DRC/LVS scripts for scripts only using external sources
- Fixed a potential segfault on application exit
- Enhancements to the macro editor's search & replace function - "replace and search next" wasn't working properly and other flaws
