RELEASE: 1.12.0

The 1.12.0 release of DSim Cloud works towards a better CLI experience as well as a big improvement in waveform viewing performance.

Clarifying Workspaces

There has been confusion around the concept of workspace. Local workspace folders vs Cloud Interactive workspaces vs Cloud Jobs workspaces. This release brings updates to the mdc CLI tool to clarify things and be more consistent with terminology all around.

The changes are backwards compatible but some commands and options have been deprecated. They will continue to work as is until a future v2.0 release will remove the old behaviors. You are encouraged to update to using the new ways in preparation

Waveform Improvements

Viewing waveforms is even snappier than it was before. The difference may not be noticeable for small wave files, but for large ones, you'll notice a significant performance improvement.

Below is the complete list of features and bugs contained within the release.

Highlights:

The DSim Cloud 1.12.0 release contains the following highlights:

Option to inititialize a local workspace without creating a Cloud Interactive workspace.
New command to start a Cloud Interactive workspace.
Display of local workspace path on all mdc cloud commands for clarity..
Deprecation of mdc resume command. Will be removed in a future release.
DSim Cloud workspaces now include 50GB of workspace storage.
Major performance improvement for viewing large wave files.
Improved mdc status output including information about jobs and cloud interactive workspaces.
