(cad/klayout) Updated 0.29.8 to 0.29.10

0.29.10          (2024-12-03):
* Bug: %GITHUB%/issues/1941 Crash with the navigator open
* Bug: %GITHUB%/issues/1942 Syntax error in pyi stubs
  As a bonus, added defaults for Box#enlarge and Box#enlarged (dx, dy)
* Bugfix: Partial mode snapping now is object first, then grid
* Bugfix: Key bindings have not been properly read from the configuration file
  The change in the configuration string structure triggered an old bug:
  Toolbar buttons had a twofold configuration and only the last one was
  considered. Changing the order of the entries could spoil the configuration.

0.29.9           (2024-12-01):
* Bug: %GITHUB%/issues/1907 Locking layouts against modification during \ 
recursive iteration of instances and shapes
  This prevents crashes in write-white-iterating scenarios
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1923 Convenience versions of "move", \ 
"moved" on various objects
* Bug: %GITHUB%/issues/1925 Problem with import of MAGIC files
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1934 (partial) shapes are instances are not \ 
selected when they exceed the viewport
  This avoids selecting large background objects my mistake and then
  moving them without noticing.

return the present one
* Bugfix: Typos fixed in manual
* Bugfix: Status bar was not cleared when the selecting is empty
* Bugfix: Texts cannot be selected now when they are turned off in the layout view
* Bugfix: Some icons were missing - for example in the netlist browser
* Bugfix: By default, layer properties are not initialized with the default when \ 
no .lyp file is specified in a technology
  You can turn this feature off by disabling the "Initialize other layers \ 
with default properties"
  option on the techology's "General" page.
* Bugfix: More consistent handling of special paths (like data: URLs) for \ 
technology components
* Bugfix: Improve snapping in partial mode when snapping to objects
* Enhancement: Supporting "Move by" after "Clone interactive"
* Enhancement: Key bindings and menu visibility is now formatted for better \ 
readability
  Now, there is one line per entry in the configuration file and the
  entries are sorted with the important ones first.
* Enhancement: New export option "Copy to clipboard" in the \ 
"Search and Replace" result list
* Enhancement: Showing "select" expressions in the header row of the \ 
"Search and Replace" result list
* Enhancement: Configuration options for the transient selection markers
  Now it is possible to configure transient selection differently from
  static selection (line style, fill)
* Bugfix: Fixing a problem with slow transient selection in edit mode
* Enhancement: Layout#read_bytes and Layout#write_bytes

  name layers got added as duplicates.
* Bugfix: In DRC, with '@+' as target layout, maintain the original active cell view
  This way, DRC can be re-run on the original layout, but each time generating a \ 
new output cellview.

(cad/klayout) Updated 0.29.4 to 0.29.5

0.29.5           (2024-07-30):
* Bug: %GITHUB%/issues/1784 Spice throws error at midline semicolon
  comments

* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1790 Support for recursive PCell
  instances

* Bug: %GITHUB%/issues/1804 Instantation path highlight mismatch with
  view window

* Bug: %GITHUB%/issues/1768 Change "angle constraint" of box and
  ellipse ruler templates to "any angle" by default

* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1776 Undo/redo from List

* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1779 Marker Browser: make the state of
  the "By Cell" or "By Category" tree persistent

* Bug: %GITHUB%/issues/1799 Can't set cell properties by script

* Bug: %GITHUB%/issues/1794 MetaInfo with (gigantic) size makes
  klayout write a faulty gds

* Bug: %GITHUB%/issues/1793 inconsistent results in width_check when
  calling by keyword argument

* Bug: %GITHUB%/issues/1782 Internal error on "nan" values in PCells

* Enhancement: GDS2 writer now observes limitations of the file format
  and raises more errors on value over- or underflows. This should
  specifically avoid issues writing certain large arrays which are
  legal inside KLayout, but illegal in GDS2.

* Bugfix: Small bugfix: 'Delete selected stacks' was not working from
  stack tech component editor's context menu

* Enhancement: Trying to improve "grab" behavior of partial selection.
  In certain situations is was difficult to grab the partial selected
  edges.  Instead other edges would be selected. Now, it is enough to
  click inside the bounding box of the partial selection.

* Bugfix: Including more GeneratorExit and StopAsyncIteration in the
  ignored exceptions for Python.  These exception now do not make the
  debugger stop any longer.

* Bugfix: Properly transferring ownership for variant to Python/Ruby
  translation.  This is required for some Python and Ruby bindings,
  when objects are transferred through generic arrays.

* Enhancement: Added Region#being_shapes_rec and
  Region#begin_merged_shapes_rec.  Mainly for being able to retrieve
  shapes with properties from Region#nets

* Enhancement: Convenience methods Shape#properties,
  Layout#properties, Cell#properties, Instance#properties.  These
  method will obtain all properties as a hash.

* Enhancement: Added Netlist#top_circuit and Netlist#top_circuits
  convenience methods.  These methods will deliver the single top
  circuit or a list of top circuits.

* Enhancement: "Copy cells" now has an option to mute the dialog
  (shallow/deep) and the dialog is only shown if there are subcells

* Enhancement: Added Shapes#break_polygons, Layout#break_polygons,
  Region#break_polygons.  These methods split large polygons into
  smaller pieces.

(cad/klayout) Updated 0.29.2 to 0.29.4

0.29.4           (2024-07-08):
* Bug: %GITHUB%/issues/1780 Crash on deleting multiple selected shapes or items

0.29.3           (2024-07-06):
* Bug: %GITHUB%/issues/1774 ImportError: cannot import name '__version__' from \ 
'klayout'
* Bug: %GITHUB%/issues/1771 Python exception formatting: backtrace missing for \ 
Python >=3.11.7
* Bug: %GITHUB%/issues/1757 Fixed memory issue
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1756 Configure timeout for HTTP(S) requests
  A new environment variable has been introduced to configure the
  HTTP(S) timeout: KLAYOUT_HTTP_TIMEOUT (timeout value in seconds,
  default is 10s)
* Bug: %GITHUB%/issues/1769 Typo fixed
* Bug: %GITHUB%/issues/1751 Code sanity issue fixed
* Bug: %GITHUB%/issues/1750 Code sanity issue fixed
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1747 Transformations on negative floats/ints
* Bug: %GITHUB%/issues/1743 strmxor shows no difference, klayout xor shows 85
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1741 Tooltip strings for PCell parameters
* Bug: %GITHUB%/issues/1733 Instance selecion in object properties does not \ 
match with view port object highlight
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1655 Marker object lifetime management
* Enhancement: DRC - step-wise size with "inside" and \ 
"outside" constraint
  This feature is handy for implementing latch-up rules more efficiently.
* Bugfix: OASIS reader - avoiding slight rounding of DBU In python read/write \ 
cycle (discussion-2526)
* Bugfix: Proper tracking of references of RecursiveShapeIterator.
  Related to issue #1742, but not directly.
* Bugfix: Symlinks in the salt paths might have lead to macro duplication
* Bugfix: Ruby binding - "return" inside block was behaving like \ 
"break".
  Now, "return" will leave the current function.
* Enhancement: LVS layer naming now also accepts an optional layer/datatype \ 
information.
* Enhancement: XOR performance enhanced in deep mode for "almost same" \ 
inputs.
* Bugfix: Macro debugger now does not prevent paint events and
  screen refresh should work while debugging. In addition, the debugger
  does not deadlock the desktop when using the help browser's search
  function. Side effects are yet unknown - maybe debugging Qt event
  handlers now becomes less stable.
  Issue #1770 addresses a problem introduced during this effort and also
  fixed in this release.
* Bugfix: During modal dialogs, the debugger's run/stop and step buttons were \ 
not working.
* Enhancement: DRC size/sized now also accepts sizing mode as string.
  For example "layer.sized(1.um, 'square_limit')" will work now.
  Previously, this argument has been ignored. This will make the GF180 DRC deck \ 
work properly.
