v0.4.5

• fix Lumerical CML installation, via SiEPIC > Simulation, Circuit > Setup Lumerical INTERCONNECT Compact Model Library

v0.4.4

• bug fixes in undo
• bug fixes in path to waveguide, in the order in which snapping, crossings, and waveguide generation, is performed
• moved Verification to separate Python file
• new verification rule: identify pin errors in components
• new verification rule: shapes need to be inside a component

v0.4.3

bug fix:

• sometimes a KLayout crash occurred after an Undo operation, after having done "Shift-W" Waveguide to Path.

improvement:

• Schematic Driven Layout [work in progress] now uses the Instantiate utility when pulling from INTERCONNECT

function improvement:

• delete_extra_top_cells: argument is now either a cell or text

v0.4.2

• bug fix, opics simulation error, utils.py

v0.4.1

• automated crossing instantiation
• minor updates and fixes
• Salt package manger installation issue
• cell replacement function update
• opt_in label updates, addition of PWB

v0.4.0

• Ploting in KLayout, using plotly
• OPICS circuit solver
• tidy3d (works for OSX, Linux)
• Contra Directional Coupler design tool

v0.3.98

• improved Python module installer
• improved OPICS install error messages

v0.3.97

• imported opics simulation package
• pip installation of python packages plotly for plotting simulation results
• rearranged simulation menu items

v0.3.96

Fix

• fix for error: technology['base_path'] in Windows
• fix for Verification with "opt_" labels instead of "opt_in"

Improvements

• Install for Python packages: matplotlib, tidy3d, SiEPIClab
• Tidy3D example running within KLayout
• SiEPIClab measurement setup running within KLayout
• opt_in_ & opt_ support for SiEPIClab

Scripting

• enable connect_pins_with_waveguide to work for compound waveguides
• waveguide_type: extract from layout
• reduction in the verbose debugging messages

v0.3.95

fix:

• adds a fix that checks if the Waveguide.XML file has any variant of "Design kits", "Design Kits"

minor updates:

• connect_cell & waveguides: relaxed pin name option. optional flag relaxed_pinnames=True, if exact pin name not found, see if there is a pin with the same number in the pin name, e.g., pin1 is the same as opt1.
• improved error messages and checking in scripted layout functions

added:

• splitter tree function
