Release NetCrux 1.1.3 · Ferrite-Engineering/netcrux

NetCrux 1.1.3 makes NetCrux work on remote displays without extra setup, and lets it open RTL that instantiates standard cells directly.

Cell libraries (Liberty). RTL that instantiates standard cells or macros now elaborates when you add the library's Liberty file under File → Cell Libraries (Liberty)…. You can also pick .lib files together with your sources, or list them in a filelist. NetCrux reads only the cells and their pins, keeps power and ground pins, and caches the result, so even a very large library is read once. One file per library is enough, from any process corner.
Missing modules as black boxes. When a module has no definition, NetCrux offers to draw it as a black box with the pins its instances connect, working out each pin's direction from the wiring. This is for viewing; add a Liberty file for exact pins. The option is kept with the project.

On a display on another machine (an ETX or VNC server reached from a compute farm, or ssh X forwarding), NetCrux now uses its software renderer by itself. With OpenGL, every frame crossed the network, so launch and every click were slow. Set FLUTTER_LINUX_RENDERER=opengl to keep OpenGL.
Over ssh X forwarding to a machine where you are also logged in to a Wayland desktop, the window now opens on your forwarded display instead of that machine's own screen.
Over ssh -X from a Mac, NetCrux no longer closes on the first key press.
In a session with no keyring service, NetCrux no longer prints hundreds of libsecret_error warnings. It tries the keyring once and uses the licence file from then on.
In a session with no DBus session bus, the accessibility layer no longer prints warnings for every window.
A power or ground net that only joins an inout supply port to cells' power pins is now drawn.
A source file opened from the command line with a relative path is now saved correctly in a project, so the project opens again from its own folder.
