Verilator 3.800 2010/02/07

This is a major release including many SystemVerilog enhancements.

Application visible changes:

• SystemPerl is no longer required for tracing. Applications must use VerilatedVcdC class in place of SpTraceVcdC.

• SystemVerilog 1800-2009 is now the default language. Thus "global" etc are now keywords. See the --language option.

New features:

• Support SystemVerilog types "byte", "chandle", "int", "longint", "shortint", "time", "var" and "void" in variables and functions.

• Support "program", "package", "import" and $unit.

• Support typedef and enum. [by Donal Casey]
