Spade 0.6.0

A hardware description language inspired by modern software languages.

Changes in 0.6.0:

Added

• Allow instantiating single variant enums without ()
• Added block comments delimited by /* */
• Added std::conv::unsafe::unsafe_cast for converting between types. Also added std::conv::int_to_bits, std::conv::bits_to_int for safe conversions.
• Added std::conv::flip_array
• Add range indexing to arrays. You can now access parts of arrays using a[start:end]
• Add uint<#N> for unsigned integers. Adjusted stdlib accordingly
• Allow specifying type parameters for Units using turbofish (::<>) syntax. For example trunc::<10, 5>(x)

Changed

• Instantiation parameters are now passed by name, which makes interaction with external verilog easier.
• Breaking change: Integers with u suffixes now have no effect, use unsigned types instead.
