Version 1.6 will be the last major release of Gdspy, with development focused only on bug fixes.
Development will continue in a new project: Gdstk, the GDSII Tool Kit.
Users are encouraged to move from Gdspy to Gdstk: although their API is not 100% compatible, the new module should be familiar enough to allow a quick transition.
Change log:
- Added support for element properties.
- Added transformation support to Cell.copy.
- Layer/datatype filtering in get_polygons for Cell, CellReference and CellArray.
- Layer/datatype filtering in LayoutViewer.
- Removed global cache _bounding_boxes. Only cells cache their bounding boxes.
- Bug fixes (thanks Daniel Hwang for the contributions).
- Bug fix in Cell.copy where the whole dependency tree would be copied on a deep copy creation.
