This is the development trunk for the Verilog-to-Routing project.  Unlike the
nicely packaged release that we create, you are working with code in a constant
state of flux.  You should expect that the tools are not always stable and that
more work is needed to get the flow to run.

For most users of VTR (rather than active developers) you should download  the latest packaged 
(and regression tested) version of VTR from 
https://github.com/verilog-to-routing/vtr-verilog-to-routing/wiki

For new developers, please do the tutorial in tutorial/NewDeveloperTutorial.txt.
You will be directed back here once you ramp up.

Our work in VTR follows a classic centralized repository (svn-like) workflow.
The 'master' branch is supposed to be the most current stable version of the
project. Developers checkout a local copy of the code at the start of
development, then do regular updates (e.g. git pull) to keep in sync with the
GitHub master.  When a developer has a tested, working change to put back into
the trunk, he/she performs a "git push" operation. Unstable code should remain
in the developer's local copy.

We do regular testing of the trunk using an automatic regression testing
framework. You can see the state of the trunk here:

QoR tracking links can be found here:

IMPORTANT:  Outside of special circumstance, a broken build must be fixed at top
priority. You break the build if your commit breaks any of the automated
regression tests.
