Hello, This is to announce the first release of the hardware description library Wired. Wired can be seen as an extension to Lava that targets (not exclusively) semi-custom VLSI design. A particular aim of Wired is to give the designer more control over the routing wires' effects on performance. The only working backends in this version are simulation and verification (through Lava), and generation of postscript layouts. Soon, there will also be static timing analysis and DEF file generation. The DEF format is accepted by most tools for physical design. Wired is available from Hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/Wired or using Darcs: darcs get http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~emax/darcs/Wired/ There is also a homepage at: http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~emax/wired/index.html Comments, questions, patches are welcome. Cheers, / Emil
