Dear Sigasi HDT user,

In this release we have updated Sigasi HDT to support the new Xilinx ISE 12 release out of the box, improved the hierarchy view and closed a lot of pending tickets.

Let us know what you think about this new release in the comments or on our forum.

The Sigasi team.

New and noteworthy

• Based on your feedback we implemented an instantiations filter and a sort button for the hierarchy view.

  You can now 'show instantiations only' and 'sort' the hierarchy view

• Sigasi HDT was updated to support the fresh Xilinx version 12.1 out of the box. So no more special case for using ISim version 12.1.

• The library mapping interface has been extended so that it is now possible to map individual external files to a VHDL library. This was especially required if you want to use the Actel VHDL libraries, since each Actel library is contained in a single files and all libraries are distributed in a single folder by default.

• Improved project related actions: In previous releases of Sigasi HDT project related actions (Rebuild, compile/run with ISim) were only enabled if the editor view showed a vhdl-file. Project related actions are now also enabled when the editor shows a different file type (as long as the file belongs to a vhdl project).
