Dear Sigasi HDT user,

in this release we implemented semantic highlighting. Semantic highlighting adds an extra layer of information in the VHDL editor based on the semantic meaning of the code.

Semantic highlighting

Signals, variables and constants now have different markup. This enables you to easily see what an identifier is, without scrolling, hovering or navigating to declarations.

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

The Sigasi Team.

New and noteworthy

• Thanks to our internal VHDL compiler, we can now offer semantic highlighting in our VHDL editor, based on the true meaning of identifiers.

  The colors of the semantic highlighting can be customized in the same way you can customize syntax highlighting.
