Version 1.5
===========

New minor release, created on 23rd August 2019. Milestone: :github-fw-milestone:`Release 1.5 <5>`

Tested mainly with Vivado 2017.4 and 2018.3. Contains Ethernet-based example designs for:

* Enclustra AX3 module, using the RGMII PHY on the PM3 baseboard
* Xilinx KC705 eval board
* Xilinx KCU105 eval board
* Xilinx VCU118 eval board (**NEW in this release**)
* Xilinx ZCU102 eval board
* PC053a

And PCIe-based example designs for:

* HiTech Global K800
* Xilinx VCU118 eval board


Core 
----

The address width in the transactor interface (``ipbus_trans_decl.addr_width``) has been increased from 12 to 16 [:github-fw-issue:`117`]. **N.B.** This change is backward compatible for users, provided that values of the address fields in ``ipbus_trans_decl.ipbus_trans_out`` are either not directly specified by users, or ``ipbus_trans_decl.addr_width`` is used when specifying the widths of connected user-defined signals/variables.


Slaves
------

Bugfixes:

* ``ipbus_pipeline``: Fixed compilation error in strobe signal assignment [:github-fw-issue:`99`]
* ``ipbus_dpram`` and ``ipbus_ported_dpram``: Removed 'null range' aggregate assignment statements that result in critical warnings in Vivado 2018.3 when ``DATA_WIDTH = 32`` [:github-fw-issue:`110`]
* ``ipbus_ctrs_ported``: Fixed compilation errors that arose with non-default values of generics [:github-fw-issue:`122`]



Boards, example designs and utilities
-------------------------------------

Backward incompatible changes:

* Removed GLIB-specific code from the repository (i.e. all files under ``boards/glib_v3`` and ``components/glib_infra``) [:github-fw-issue:`123`]

Bugfixes:

* VCU118 PCIe design: Fixed failure in IPBB-based build (by moving ``clocks_usp_serdes.vhd`` under ``components/ipbus_util/firmware/hdl/clocks`` directory, alongside other clocks modules)

Improvements:

* Added an SGMII Ethernet-based example design for the VCU118 [:github-fw-issue:`121`]
* Updated implementations of example designs to improve consistency across different boards [:github-fw-issue:`107`]
