= Version 0.7 (2006-07-22)

== Summary

This release enhances the VPI utility layer and adds new content to
the user manual.

== Details

* SWIG is no longer required for users because its output is
included in the release package.

* The VPI utility layer provides access to VPI properties of handles
in a {simpler, more powerful
way}[http://ruby-vpi.rubyforge.org/doc/manual.html#organization.vpi.util].

* All VPI properties, except delay values, are now accessible from
a handle.

* The <tt>handle.value</tt> and <tt>handle.value=</tt> methods
have been removed.

* The user manual has been revised and new content in the
organization and usage sections has been added.

* This release was tested and developed using:
* Ruby 1.8.4 and Icarus Verilog 0.8 on i686 GNU/Linux
* Ruby 1.8.4 and Mentor Modelsim 6.1d on x86_64 GNU/Linux

== Acknowledgment

* Thanks to Jan Decaluwe for correcting the description of MyHDL in
the user manual.
