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:
