Animate attempts to obey pin placement constraints even when general routing is off.
Pins on the boundary will not be connected by any routing.

Added support for 2 stage cascode current mirror with differential pair, so that all the hard patterns get correctly detected in a specific case.

Added support for 2 powerdowns in hook to ensure correct matches and soft patterns are generated.

Provides user feedback for the following plugin errors:

A plugin's XML has poor structure or does not follow the schema

A plugin's result bash command encounters an error

A plugin's result XML has poor structure or does not follow the schema

These are displayed in the relevant column in the Results table if a metric name can be found, otherwise an error message is displayed.

Plugins can now specify a list of additional arguments by adding
<user_setting>User Setting Name<user_setting>
to the plugin XML.

These can be edited within Animate by using the Edit Settings dialog, accessible from the context menu within the Results table.

Settings are stored in the user's local settings and therefore persist across sessions.

Any empty setting will by given a default string "(blank)", to be handled by plugin developers.

Added the option to defer running a metric until requested. Metrics defined as on demand will be shown with empty cells until the metric is run, either through the context menu or with the icon in the column's header.
Once run, the metric behaves as normal. If an on demand metric is hidden and shown again it will, once again, not run until specified, however, it will still show any previously calculated values.

The simulation ranking plugin is now available in Animate.

Currently set to "disabled" in the plugin.xml, it requires a user to manually edit to activate.

Fixed excessive spacing caused by the resistor pattern router.

CAS-CM  is now accepted on a specific circuit

DP-CMCM now matched on a specific circuit.
