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

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

= Version 0.4 (2006-04-28)

== Summary

This release adds simple ways of reading and writing values to VPI  
handles, adds documentation for the VPI utility layer, and fixes the  
pipelined ALU example.

== Details

- Simple, consistent ways of reading and writing values to handles  
have been added to the VPI utility layer. These ways are described  
in the SWIG::TYPE\_p\_unsigned\_int class’ documentation.

- The makefiles now use the +rbconfig+ library to determine the  
default compiler and linker flags for Ruby.

- A race condition in the pipelined ALU example has been fixed. This  
example should now run successfully in all Verilog simulators.

- The project wiki has been abandoned in favor of RDoc.

- The project website is now generated by RDoc.

- Tested and developed using:
