Log message:
(cad/klayout) Updated 0.28.13 to 0.28.14

0.28.14          (2023-12-08):
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1563 Duplicated Tabs in the Macro Development Tool
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1560 git+https package installation on windows fails
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1559 (partial) Move function not respecting some diagonals
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1549 Layout.error_layer now available in recursive \ 
shape search
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1542 KLayout crashes on exit
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1535 Support pathlib.Path in Python API
  Implicitly converts objects to strings using "str(object)" (Python) \ 
or "object.to_s" (Ruby).
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1533 KLayout crashing with two consecutive calls of \ 
the same LayoutView::show_layout command
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1531 When symlinking a .def to a target without .def \ 
suffix, file can't be loaded
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1530 polygon from 2 size tuple points
  The effect of this feature is pretty basic: tuples or lists are used as constructor
  arguments for implicitly creating an object in place of them. Hence, \ 
"(x,y)" can be
  used instead of a vector or a point. In some cases, this leads to ambiguities and
  the implicit resolution will fail however.
  Specifically a list of size-2 tuples can be passed to the "points" \ 
arguments of
  Polygon and Path.
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1528 LEF: Implement LEF58_WIDTHTABLE
* Enhancement: new methods (D)Edge#euclidian_distance and (D)EdgePair#distance
* Bugfix: package download dialog: mute an assertion, less questions for \ 
re-running macros
* Enhancement: reading $KLAYOUT_GIT_PROXY_HTTP for proxy URL in Git downloads
* Bugfix: cheats were not enabled for edges and (implicit) polygon merges such \ 
as for "sized"
* Bugfix: more consistent behavior for Marker Browser / Scan Shapes
  - Scan Shapes Hierarchical will scan from current cell, not all cells
  - Marker browser shows markers propertly also in descended mode
  - Marker database description of shown in selection box
* Bugfix: Search feature in macro editor does not jump back to first position
* Bugfix: "Trace All Nets"
  - Asks for stack now in case of multiple stacks (previously: took that from \ 
"Trace Nets" dialog)
  - Skips symbols which are not used (previously: extracted them as disconnected \ 
layers)

(cad/klayout) Updated 0.28.10 to 0.28.12

0.28.12          (2023-09-12):
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1477 Macro IDE: changing the colors does not have an effect
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1474 Throw a FATAL ERROR when multiple cellname have \ 
the same refnum
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1473 Ignore 'Summarize missing layers' when sending \ 
XOR result to other layout)
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1472 DEF path with first/last segment length < \ 
halfwidth are read wrong
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1471 Make warning about 'FOREIGN differs from MACRO \ 
name' more informative
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1470 DEF pinname VDD.extra1 should be written as VDD \ 
TEXT in gds/oasis
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1465 (maybe fixed) DRC crash at end of script
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1464 Layout#get_info and Layout#set_info not longer \ 
segfault on wrong layer index
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1460 CellRename dialog is larger now initially
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1307 (partial) Produce UNPLACED macros if \ 
location is provided
* Enhancement: New aliases for inline operators (e.g. "+=") in \ 
RBA::Region and similar classes
  Reasoning is that "+=" in Ruby is resolved into "+" and \ 
"=" which does not make
  use of the inline optimization. Using "join_with" instead will avoid \ 
this. Other alias:
  "join" for "+", "and" for "&", \ 
"and_with" for "&=", "not" for "-", \ 
"not_with" for "-=",
  "or" for "|", "or_with" for "|=", \ 
"xor" for "^" and "xor_with" for "^=".

scaled instances

with errors can be selected)
* Bugfix: avoid a segfault in the properties dialog
* Enhancement: crash log now is shown in a more reliable way - but less fancy.
  In addition, a crash log is written 'klayout_crash.log' in the home path

move' now also acts on partial selection
* Bugfix: cleanup after deleting cells in partial mode - no new top cells appear
* Enhancement: package manager
  * So not update macros while installing: avoids transient error messages
  * Offer to autorun macros also after package update (so far only on package \ 
new installation
* Bugfix: Fixed a issue with the search box on the macro editor
  when switching to the replace text box, focus was passed to the text editor instead
* Enhancement: CIF reader progress now functional
* Enhancement: some speedup while sorting instances

  - Add a default extension to file names unless one is given
  - Selection on partial mode enhanced: allow selection of edge
    ends if edges overlap, graphical indicator for selected partial

    scope which was irritating. Now it's confined to geometry
  - DRC/LVS logs list the correct line also with include files
  - "report" wasn't working in DRC/LVS scripts for scripts only using
    external sources
  - Fixed a potential segfault on application exit
  - Enhancements to the macro editor's search & replace function -
    "replace and search next" wasn't working properly and other flaws

* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1314 Storing (arbitrary) data in metadata
  - Meta information can be attached to layout and cells
  - Meta information has a string key and arbitrary value (hash, list supported)

  area, not just label origin point

* Bugfix: Making 'R', 'L' and 'C' parameters for the respective Spice
  elements beside "value"

* Enhancement: Zoom In/Out menu functions now use the current mouse
  position for the zoom fixpoint (important when binding them to a
  key)

  properly made available (was for example RBA::Qt::Qt_Keys instead of
  RBA::Qt_Keys and pya.Qt.

Keys was no fully initialized type object)

  not fail because of unknown parameters
