Fixed broken pipeline dependency.

Nightly Release

This nightly release contains all latest and important artifacts created by GHDL's CI pipeline.

GHDL 4.2.0

GHDL offers the simulator and synthesis tool for VHDL. GHDL can be build for various backends:

• gcc - using the GCC compiler framework
• mcode - in memory code generation
• llvm - using the LLVM compiler framework
• llvm-jit - using the LLVM compiler framework, but in memory

The following asset categories are provided for GHDL:

• macOS x64-64 builds as TAR/GZ file
• macOS aarch64 builds as TAR/GZ file
• Ubuntu 24.04 LTS builds as TAR/GZ file
• Windows builds for standalone usage (without MSYS2) as ZIP file
• MSYS2 packages as TAR/ZST file

pyGHDL 4.2.0

The Python package pyGHDL offers Python binding (pyGHDL.libghdl) to a libghdl shared library (*.so/*.dll).
In addition to the low-level binding layer, pyGHDL offers:

• a Language Server Protocol (LSP) instance for e.g. live code checking by editors
• a Code Document Object Model (CodeDOM) based on pyVHDLModel

The following asset categories are provided for pyGHDL:

• Platform specific Python wheel package for Ubuntu incl. pyGHDL...so
• Platform specific Python wheel package for Windows incl. pyGHDL...dll
