When the OVM 2.0 release came out I ran it through my doxygen filter and found a couple of new issues.  Those issues have been corrected in the 1.5.3 release posted here:

The most significant issue found and corrected in 1.5.3 was the filter was processing SV keywords that were inside of a double quoted text string (which lead to some pretty goofy results when a string contained a keyword; esp keywords like begin or end). The filter now skips quoted text in the same way that it skips commented text. And the more heuristic debug I find myself doing the more I wish I’d used a proper grammar. I have an unnatural fear of Yacc (and other large mammals!)

Also, in the template converter script I’ve added support for escaped linefeeds in a .delta file.

Details about how to install and use filter, along with examples, can be found in the original filter release post.

“begin filtering!”

The folks over at ovmworld just released a new version of the OVM.

Some (light) details about the release are here:

It looks just like the 1 ‘dot’ series to me (but keep in mind that I’m just a lowly VMM user.) I’m not sure what justified the move to a new major release. I hope that this isn’t turning into some sort of versioning for marketing reasons thing?  Because, if so, then OVM is a full major release ahead of VMM!

That said, I am looking forward to the next release of VMM which had better compile / run on both VCS and ModelSim/Questa.

As you’d expect, I’ve posted the doxygen documentation of the 2.0 release right here:

And - as usual, if you find a bug then please let me know.

OVMers - Enjoy!
