Scansion Changelog

What's new in Scansion 1.12

Mar 30, 2017
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed module duplication issue seen in some VCD files generated by Icarus Verilog.
  • Fixed issue that causes vector slices of multi-dim arrays to show as a single bit.
  • Fixed display of event & module type color in the Event Inspector.

New in Scansion 1.11 (Nov 29, 2014)

  • Improvements:
  • Added support for searching and filtering modules including options for case sensitivity and regular expressions.
  • The full path for modules and traces are shown when hovering over them.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Fixes compatibility issues with OS X 10.10 Yosemit.e
  • Accommodates the way SystemC 2.3.1 reports NaN in real value VCD data.
  • Fixed an infrequent crash scenario with real value VCD data.
  • Fixed the top level module list sorting to present modules in declaration order.
  • Other Notes:
  • iChat Theater support has been removed as this functionality was removed from OS X starting in 10.9 Mavericks.

New in Scansion 1.10 (Apr 7, 2014)

  • Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed an issue parsing VCD files generated by Verilator.
  • Improvements:
  • Constrained the time resolution based on the input file resolution.
  • Added support for zoom range by holding the shift key and dragging with the "left" mouse button, which is the one finger click and drag on trackpads.
  • Added optional support to combine bits that have a bracketed index in the suffix into a vector. If sparsely populated it will create the intermediate bits but they will show up as unknown. This feature is controllable by a preference item, which defaults to the new combining behavior.
  • No longer includes an option to purchase or register a license since, well, you just don't need one anymore!

New in Scansion 1.09 (Jul 26, 2010)

  • Bug Fixes:
  • Addresses problems displaying inferred structures from dot separated variables in VCD files.
  • Improvements:
  • Members of inferred structures will now show their full hierarchical name within the structure(s) in the Trace Inspector.
  • Added an option in the General Preferences to disable inferred structures from dot separated variable names.
  • Modified the default colors for valid logic states and structures to be less harsh.

New in Scansion 1.08 (Jun 2, 2010)

  • Addresses slow response when dragging in large numbers of traces to be viewed.
  • Fixes an issue in the trace lists where the header can disappear when resizing the window.

New in Scansion 1.07 (Jun 1, 2010)

  • Addresses slow response when dragging in large numbers of traces to be viewed.
  • Fixes an issue in the trace list where the header can disappear when resizing the window.

  • New:
  • Improved string scaling for vector event values.
  • Vector event values now follow the Verilog case convention for invalid digits.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Fixes an issue that causes real valued VCD analog waveforms to be displayed incorrectly.
  • Fixes an issue when using a VCD file with very large vectors that could cause the application to crash.
