TITLE: Revised VHDL Synthesis Standard Approved

The 1076.6 standard for  VHDL  synthesis  has  been  revised  and
approved  by  the  IEEE  on  May  12.  The 2004 revision includes
almost every feature of VHDL that can be used  to  model  at  the
register  transfer  level  (RTL)  and  be  synthesized.   It also
includes enhanced semantic guidelines for modeling flip-flops and
latches.  A  third  component  is a set of synthesis pragmas that
provides additional information in the RTL model that a synthesis
tool can use.
