It seems the CERN people are exploiting and even expanding the library. We need to agree on a few conventions to keep all our projects compatible.
A new feature appeared, where errors are injected in flip-flops to test high-reliability redundant designs, using the VHPI interface and external C code. I don't think I'll use this feature because I'm not concerned by rad-hard designs :-)
The gates library might be extended to other FPGA families though it is out of my own scope.
On the one hand, I'm losing some control over the development of the library. On the other, everybody benefits from this consolidation and expansion, where more features are added and cross-tested, and I already have the features I needed initially. The rest is just a bonus ;-)
So that's further proof that, when done correctly, Free Software and Open Source are amazing :-)
