Discussion from #84:

I dont have any other planned things to push to this repo for now. If you could create a release, I can ensure the PR to GHDL updates the version required. Do you have a preference on which branch of GHDL I use as a base? I would assume I should use your updated-tests branch since it should work with the updates in this repo?

OK, I'll create a release.

I need to check for a good GHDL base. I'm a bit out of sync. One I have that long ongoing side branch with some failing tests, because GHDL added more features to the sanity checking files - but pyGHDL.DOM can't handle it. OTOH, I'm working on a new pipeline, which was also forced to integrate some changes due to pyTooling v6.x.x.

I suspect I should get the pipeline rework merged and then update/rebase my other branch.
