cocotb 2.0: celebrating 12 years of verification fun
summary
cocotb 2.0 cleans up long-standing surprises: dozens of small fixes and some deliberate API breaks to make functions behave as named, for example set_immediate_value now behaves. It adds typing stubs so editors get autocomplete from HDL hierarchies, documents migration as a two-step upgrade via upgrade via 1.9 deprecations, and shows CI release plumbing working with vendor licenses in cloud CI. Usage surveys report ~25% FPGA-project adoption; performance still depends on how often Python toggles the simulator clock.
