## [2023.1.0]

### Added
- **Architecture**
- New custom I/O Link for ASIC designs and its coexistence with Ethernet (#183)

- **Accelerators**
- Stratus HLS flow
- _Sinkhorn_: iterative algorithm used in machine learning to evaluate the correlation and alignment of two different datasets with a focus on their data distribution. (#185)
- Vivado HLS flow
- _SVD_ (Singular Value Decomposition): linear algebra algorithm that decomposes/factorizes matrices according to their eigenvalues; commonly used as part of dimensionality reduction algorithms. (#185)

- **Accelerator design flows**
- Catapult HLS with SystemC and Matchlib flow (#165)

- **ASIC Design, Verification, and Testing**
- New minimal, technology-independent ASIC design example
- Synthesizable FPGA proxy design for providing DRAM access to ASIC designs; also used to stimulate JTAG test unit (#177)
- FPGA emulation of ASIC designs; dual-FPGA emulation infrastructure including FPGA proxy design (#177)

### Improved
- **Architecture**
- SLM+DDR Tile: fix clock assignments, add configurable delay cells, support accelerator execution (#169)
- Spandex Caches: fixes and performance improvements (#163)
- Flexible ASIC clocking strategy with 3 choices: external clock only, single global clock generator, per-tile clock generator
- JTAG-based debug unit: new implementation to improve robustness (#177)
- JTAG and NoC synchronizers are now optional for ASIC designs

- **Infrastructure**
- ESP GUI: add more configuration options and remove dependence on GRLIB GUI

### Fixed
- **Architecture**
- Various Genus errors and warnings
- Busy handling from AHB bus in _ahbslv2noc_
- Combinational loop in Ibex AHB wrapper
- Ariane L1 cacheable length to support SoCs with and without ESP caches

- **Accelerators**
- Use correct RTL sources for NVDLA in ASIC designs

- **Infrastructure**
- Xcelium simulation support
- Toolchains: fix cloning issue for RISC-V, change default install path to remove _sudo_ dependence
