Summary
This release adds support for the GPL CVer simulator, provides both binary
and source packages, and explicitly defines the version numbering system.
Details
• The GPL CVer simulator is now supported.
• Ruby-VPI now only needs to be built once.
□ You can run tests with different Verilog simulators without having to
re-compile Ruby-VPI.
□ Release packages are now available in both source and binary form.
• The RSpec based specifications for the counter example now use the
should_equal instead of the should_be assertion, because the latter ensures
strict equivalence. For instance, it will fail when a Fixnum is compared to
a Bignum.
• We now strictly follow a version numbering system based on the GNU
“major.minor.patch” convention. The version numbers of previous releases
have been revised accordingly:
