    Thanks to Jim Lewis and the volunteers for all the hard work and not

    It has just been pointed out to me that although VHDL2019 is ratified by
    the IEEE it has not yet been released, this might take some time but
    hopefully should happen before the end of the year. Note that VHDL2008
    was released in 2009.

    I guess this is the reason why we don't see any press releases, we need
    to wait until the LRM is printed and be made available to the general
    public.

    "Printed"??? Really, they want to "print" the document? Does that take more than 15 minutes? I guess 5 minutes to generate the PDF file and 10 minutes to send it to the printer?

    Of course printed means a whole range of admin/marketing/bureaucratic
    tasks, I suspect that even getting the webpage sorted out will take a
    few weeks.

    Now an interesting questions is if the IEEE will make the standard
    freely available like they do for SV/SystemC or paid for like they do
    for VHDL2008/PSL.....never mind.

    It would seem to be an inefficient organization that does all that completely serially.

    A trick they use with some standards is to take advantage of the fact that they can release all but the final version. Make some totally insignificant change in the final release and the standard version document before that change can still be freely
    circulated. A standard that no one reads is not of much value.
