Version 9.0.0 (2006-10-28)

Ruby-VPI is a Ruby interface to Verilog VPI. It lets you create
complex Verilog test benches easily and wholly in Ruby.

Website: http://ruby-vpi.rubyforge.org

Install: gem install ruby-vpi


Summary

This release improves the automated test generator and adds
new content to the user manual.

Acknowledgments

Thanks to Matt Fischler for helping test and debug the
installation of Ruby-VPI on Windows.

Notice

* The command-line options for generate_test.rb have
changed. Run the command generate_test.rb --help for
details.

Details

* Test runners now attempt to resolve paths in
SIMULATOR_SOURCES by searching for them within the
directories specified in SIMULATOR_INCLUDES.

* Synopsys VCS is now used in a better way (via the -load
option).
o The old PLI table file (synopsys_vcs.tab) has been
removed.
o The C extension has been revised accordingly.

* The C extension now compiles without errors in Cygwin.

* The automated test generator now:
o Only creates output files when necessary.
o Updates existing output files using text merging tools
if possible. (Refer to MERGER in the help information of
generate_test.rb.)
o Emits progress information similar to Ruby on Rails.

* The user manual now:
o Includes instructions for installing on Windows (via
Cygwin).
o Has a recommended software section, with links to text
merging tools.
o Uses the term xUnit instead of “unit testâ€.
o Correctly spells “rSpecâ€.
