Chisel v6.2.0

Features

• Add getClassType API to Definition[T <: Class]. (backport #3877) (by @mergify[bot] in #3879)
  This allows users to get a ClassType for use in other Property types, which is especially useful when constructing aggregate Property types of a specific Class.
• Add suggestName method to HasTarget (backport #3881) (by @mergify[bot] in #3882)
  HasTarget trait now also exposes suggestName method of a NamedComponent.
• Print the optional Printable passed to stop ops (backport #3886) (by @mergify[bot] in #3888)
  The message passed to stop is no longer ignored. The construct was extended to accept Printable.

Fixes

• Get ChiselSim working with CIRCT 1.66+ (backport #3890) (by @mergify[bot] in #3892)
• Support serializing large (> 2 GiB) annotation files (backport #3905) (by @mergify[bot] in #3907)
• Allow BoringUtils.bore to work on probes (backport #3908) (by @mergify[bot] in #3910)
• Fix ChiselStage and Builder handling of logging (backport #3895) (by @mergify[bot] in #3898)
  • Adds support for --log-level to circt.stage.ChiselStage
  • Previously, object circt.stage.ChiselStage was ignoring the Logger.
  • Also, Chisel was not creating its own logger scope which could lead to clobbering of the Console when running invoking Chisel in the same process multiple times.

• Add explanation for Class and Object, with examples. (backport #3880) (by @mergify[bot] in #3887)

Dependency Updates

• Use c++14 to pass the verilator check (backport #3876) (by @mergify[bot] in #3914)
  Change ChiselSim to requires a C++14 compiler.
