There is far more stuff stored on /Indigo/ChipNDale/ than what actually is inside my maintenance umbrella! I can not maintain other peoples stuff.

The fact that something is stored on /Indigo/ChipNDale/ does not mean I have even looked at it. Stuff without version number, with a wrong version number, or with an outdated version number, will be deleted. /Indigo/ChipNDale/ is not a back up storage.

Df files which belong to ChipNDale but are not completely obvious have a prefix CD in their names. (Still cmos20 but CDCifGen20).

Drawing into a Graphics context has new mechanism.

Constructing cells by program is much faster. (Speeds up Patchwork, reading a design from a file...)

Level is renamed to Layer. Please don't complain, I have changed hundreds of files.

New expand mechanism.

(Arbitrary angled Polygons can be plotted on the color versatec plotter; However, with Cedar 6, this might be no more possible.)

Pins and Marks are called symbolic objects; drawing of symbolic objects is made optional.

I will not support Parquet and its application anymore, since Patchwork is available.

InterestRect new feature

insideRect feature removed

oldInsideRect feature temporary introduced; will disappear with the next release again.

New convention: Objects must either not have children or not call the context draw proc

ObjectsProcs

DrawInformation

is a new mechanism which will be used to replace the implementation of contacts and transistors in a future release; This mechanism is used already for the implementation of cmos buried contacts.

renamed from old PlanarBaseTypes

IsCell: PROC [ob: CD.ObPtr] RETURNS [BOOL]

PushInCellPointed removed

IncludeApplication, RemoveApplication removed; use CDX instead

EnumerateChildObjects has default for x

Rename has new fiddlename parameter

Include, Remove and Rename will call back class implementor

new Expand mechanism

renamed from old CDCommands

FlushDeletedCache: PROC [design: CD.Design];

DeletePointed, CopyPointed, TransformPointed removed

IsPushedIn: PROC [d: CD.Design] RETURNS [BOOL]

Tesselation has client data and stopFlag

HasUnloadedImports: PROC [d: CD.Design] RETURNS [BOOL]

Checks for concurrency errors included

module removed; it is no more possible to implement a Chipmonk-like tip table

SomeChildPropagates: PROC [ob: CD.ObPtr] RETURNS [BOOL]

Commands of this modules are disabled (unless your a priviledged user). CDConditions might disapear in a future version.

MakeShortName: PROC [design: CD.Design] RETURNS [name: Rope.ROPE];

The old, never released, pin package on /ivy/jacobi/ will get absolutely no support anymore.

IsPolygon: PROC [ob: CD.ObPtr] RETURNS [BOOL];

IsRepetition: PROC [ob: CD.ObPtr] RETURNS [BOOL];

CreateRepetitionCell removed; use the Expand proc instead

Module removed; it is now the object class implementor who provides the interest-rect feature

type Command changed

procedure ExecuteCommand changed

new procedure ExecuteProc

CDViewerExtras merged in

procedure DesignOf changed

new procedure VisibleRect

The origin feature simplified: Object class implementor has to completely provide implementation of SetOrigin himself if the class is supposed to have immutable non default origins.

InludeRelative --> IncludeOb

New procedure RemoveApp

Texts have the origin set as specifyed by the font.

CharCells have the origin set as specifyed by the font.
