Release 0.14.0 · chaseruskin/orbit

This update brings a more streamlined command sequence/development process, better error messages, and the first initial support for Verilog!

initial verilog support includes: module declarations, instantiations, wire declarations, recognition within VHDL files, DST, reading verilog files using orbit read, setting them as top level units or testbenches for the build process
adds new environment variable ORBIT_DUT set during orbit test
allow targets to define what types of blueprints they can handle
adds --library option to orbit get command
allows configuration file to be found on parent directories of the current working path with appropriate precedence
adds orbit lock command to save the state of the local ip by writing the Orbit.lock file
allows orbit config to change the language support mode

targets are new spawned inside a folder with their name within the TARGET_DIR directory (this is where the blueprint and .env file are written during the planning stage as well)
orbit test forces user to have a testbench, if there is not one, see orbit build
no longer allows orbit build to specify a testbench, see orbit test
fixes configuration precedence
renames "plugin" to "target" to more closely align with software language terminology relating to back end processes
renames "downloads" directory to "archive" to better describe what is stored in that catalog level
deprecates plan command- this step is now integrated into the build and test commands for a more unified development approach
renames show command to view and adds new switches (-u, -v) for faster lookups for units and versions of an ip
Adds more error messages

renames library in blueprint if it is a matching identifier to one that is a design unit that underwent DST in that particular ip during the planning stage of the build process
