** Versions 4.038 and 4.040 are planned to be the final versions that will
support pre-C++11 compilers. Please move to C++11 or newer compilers.
*** Support VPI access to parameters and localparam. [Ludwig Rogiers]
*** Support parsing (not elaboration, yet) of UVM.
**** Add new UNSUPPORTED error code to replace most previous Unsupported: messages.
**** With --bbox-unsup continue parsing on many (not all) UVM constructs.
**** Support for-loop increments with commas.
**** Support $swrite with arbitrary arguments.
**** Support $writememb (#2450). [Fan Shupei]
**** Fix OS X, Free BSD, and -m32 portability issues. [Geza Lore]

**** Fix division exception (#2460) [Kuoping Hsu]
* Verilator 4.036 2020-06-06
** OPT_FAST is now -Os by default. See the BENCHMARKING & OPTIMIZATION part
of the manual if you experience issues with compilation speed.
*** Configure now enables SystemC if it is installed as a system headers,
e.g. with 'apt-get install systemc-dev'.
*** Add --waiver-output flag that writes a verilator config file (.vlt) with
waivers to the warnings emitted during a Verilator run.
*** Support verilator_coverage --write-info for lcov HTML reports.
Line Coverage now tracks all statement lines, not just branch lines.
*** --output-split is now on by default. VM_PARALLEL_BUILDS is set by
default iff the --output-split caused an actual file split to occur.
--output-split-cfuncs and --output-split-ctrace now default to the
value of --output-split. These changes should improve build times of
medium and large designs with default options. User makefiles may
require changes.
*** The run-time library is now compiled with -Os by default. (#2369, #2373)
**** Support multi channel descriptor I/O (#2190) [Stephen Henry]
**** Support $countbits. (#2287) [Yossi Nivin]

** Support IEEE time units and time precisions. (#234)
Includes `timescale, $printtimescale, $timeformat.
VL_TIME_MULTIPLIER, VL_TIME_PRECISION, VL_TIME_UNIT have been removed
and the time precision must now match the SystemC time precision. To
get closer behavior to older versions, use e.g. --timescale-override
"1ps/1ps".
** Add --build to call make automatically. (#2249) [Yutetsu TAKATSUKASA]
** Configuring with ccache present now defaults to using it; see OBJCACHE.
** Fix DPI import/export to be standard compliant. (#2236) [Geza Lore]
