PyAEDT v0.8

[Samuelopez-ansys]

Dear Contributors and PyAEDT users,

We're excited to share the news of the official release of PyAEDT 0.8! 🎉

Key Feature: PyEDB Package is now released and separated from PyAEDT.

In this release, we've introduced a groundbreaking change by separating PyAEDT and PyEDB. This strategic move enhances the speed and efficiency of your layout automation workflows.

Introducing PyEDB: 📱

PyEDB is a powerful Python library that can manipulate Ansys EDB files (Layout files used in Ansys HFSS 3DLayout and Ansys SIwave).

EDB has grown a lot in the last year and Ansys has recently introduced a new open-source API called PyEDB-Core. It simplifies layout automation workflows, providing a seamless and optimized user experience. Explore more about PyEDB.

PyEDB will be focused on EDB automation and in the future will benefit from PyEDB-Core's new features and improvements.

Python 3.7 has been deprecated:

This decision aligns with the evolving support in the broader Python ecosystem. For more comprehensive information regarding Python version support, please refer to the Python Developer's Guide.

PyAEDT will stay focused on AEDT Automation. Upgrade to PyAEDT 0.8 now and elevate your Ansys automated workflows to the next level! 🚀

A heartfelt thank you for being an integral part of the PyAEDT community! 🙌
