The connections a rip-up route crosses are rerouted at once in free
space. If that leaves fewer connections routed than before, the new
route comes out and every displaced connection goes back on its old
path, with its rip count as it was. Even trades are kept.
--access-cost C makes a route pay C to pass where it would close another
pin's way out (its end cells, the via it may need there, and the
clearance around both) while that pin still has connections to route.
A pin inside a wire keepout can only leave by a via; its stub to the
cell centre was track inside the keepout, which the exact check refused.
The via now goes on the pin itself. Pin stubs are also checked exactly
against wire keepouts, as the exact engine will check them.
bench/diagnose.py reports what each refused connection collided with.
Each round routes every connection that has failed so far ahead of the
rest, which keep their order. The promoted set only grows, so two groups
cannot take turns failing; the best round is kept.
The router is deterministic, but its result depends heavily on which
connection routes first. A seed shuffles that order reproducibly, so a
change can be judged over several orders instead of the one it happened
to get.
Add the GPLv3 text (the package declared the licence but never shipped it),
a py.typed marker, and an sdist include/exclude allowlist so the distribution
carries only src/, docs/, README, LICENSE and pyproject. reference/ is a clone
of the GPL FreeRouting Java tree kept purely as a porting reference and must
never be redistributed inside this package; tests, caches and build output are
excluded too.
Switch to the PEP 639 SPDX licence expression with license-files, widen the
classifiers, and add an -o alias for -do. Rewrite the README around the engine
matrix: what each track and pass actually does, and what this is not (no
FreeRouting density parity on dense boards, and --diagonal is a recovery and
shortening pass, not a diagonal-native search).
The grid MVP was the only track reachable from the command line, so the
continuous room engine, channel packing, shove, and 45-degree routing were
unusable by anything shelling out to freeroute.
Add --engine {grid,exact,room} (default grid, unchanged behaviour) plus
--pack / --shove / --diagonal, and honour -mp on the tracks that implement
rip-up passes. Not every engine supports every pass; ENGINE_OPTIONS is the
matrix and an unsupported combination exits 2 with a message naming the
engines that do support the flag, rather than silently no-opping.
The pyproject declared a freeroute script but freeroute.cli was missing, so the
entry point was broken. Add it: reads a Specctra .dsn, routes (rip-up on by
default), writes SES. Accepts FreeRouting-compatible -de/-do flags so it can be
dropped in wherever 'java -jar freerouting.jar' was called.
