Summary

This release adds support for the GPL CVer simulator, provides both  
binary  
and source packages, and explicitly defines the version numbering  
system.

Details

â?¢ The GPL CVer simulator is now supported.

â?¢ Ruby-VPI now only needs to be built once.  
â?¡ You can run tests with different Verilog simulators without  
having to  
re-compile Ruby-VPI.  
â?¡ Release packages are now available in both source and binary  
form.

â?¢ The RSpec based specifications for the counter example now use the  
should\_equal instead of the should\_be assertion, because the latter  
ensures  
strict equivalence. For instance, it will fail when a Fixnum is  
compared to  
a Bignum.

â?¢ We now strictly follow a version numbering system based on the GNU  
â??major.minor.patchâ? convention. The version numbers of previous  
releases  
have been revised accordingly:
