Ruby-VPI 0.3 has been released.

[http://ruby-vpi.rubyforge.org](http://ruby-vpi.rubyforge.org)

## What is it?

Ruby-VPI is a Ruby interface to Verilog VPI. With it, you can create  
complex Verilog test benches easily and wholly in Ruby.

## What has changed?

Summary

This release adds support for the _entire_ IEEE Std. 1364-2005 VPI  
interface, and updates the examples into unit tests.

Details

â?¢ The Ruby interface to VPI is now generated by [SWIG].

â?¢ The [“final ballot” version] of the vpi\_user.h header file is  
now packaged along with and used by Ruby-VPI.

â?¢ The VPI module, its sub-classes, and its functionality have  
been replaced by the VPI utility layer (see src/vpi\_util.rb).

â?¢ The examples now make use of the ‘test/unit’ unit testing  
framework.

â?¢ Tested and developed using Ruby 1.8.4 and Icarus Verilog 0.8 and  
Mentor ModelSim? 6.1d.

Acknowledgment

â?¢ Thanks to the [SWIG developers] for making this project much  
easier! 😉
