SVN tag: svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/ruby-vpi/tags/7.0.0

Summary

This release distributes Ruby-VPI as a gem, improves portability of generated
tests, and fixes a bug.

Details

â?¢ put_value() now accomodates register value overflows when verifying the
value it has written.

â?¢ Ruby-VPI is now distributed only as a source gem. You can decompress the
gem without installing it onto your system by running the command gem
install -i output_directory ruby-vpi-7.0.0.gem. In addition, you can still
obtain the source code directly from the Subversion repository.

â?¢ The test generatorâ??s templates and the examples have been updated as
follows:
â?¡ Test runners no longer have to specify the path to Ruby-VPI
installation directory. Instead, they simply require 'ruby-vpi/runner'.
Thus, you can run your tests on any machine with Ruby-VPI without
having to know where it is installed.
â?¡ Ruby benches now invoke RubyVPI.init_bench instead of require 'bench';
setup_bench to become initialized.

â?¢ All Ruby libraries in the lib/ directory have been moved into lib/ruby-vpi/
to prevent load-path clashes with other gems. You should access these
libraries by prefixing their path with â??ruby-vpiâ?. For example, require
'vpi_util' should now be written as require 'ruby-vpi/vpi_util'.

â?¢ The src/ directory has been renamed to ext/ to follow RubyGems convention.

â?¢ The tools in bin/ become available in your systemâ??s bin/ directory when the
gem is installed.
â?¡ Usage and help information has been added to the header_to_ruby.rb
tool.

â?¢ Incorrect spelling of GPL Cver (v should be uncapitalized) has been fixed.

â?¢ Incorrect link to GPL Cver website has been fixed.

â?¢ The user manual has been updated according to all of the above changes.
