Dear beta-users,

We are proud to announce the new update of Personal Productivity Core of Sigasi HDT.

By popular demand, we introduce a block selection mode (a.k.a. column mode), which has been integrated in an intuitive way.

This new release also supports a nice VHDL-2008 feature: external (hierarchical) names, which are a powerful language construct for validation.

As always, the update process initiates automatically, at the start of your next Sigasi HDT session. For more information, visit the update information page.

Please let us know what you think about this new release on our user forum.

Hope you enjoy!

The Sigasi Team
