* Convert other uses of ``Simulator.add_sync_process`` to ``Simulator.add_process``
* Replace uses of ``amaranth.hdl.Memory`` with ``amaranth.lib.memory.Memory``
* Replace imports of ``amaranth.asserts.{Assert, Assume, Cover}`` with imports from ``amaranth.hdl``
* Remove any usage of ``name=`` with assertions, possibly replacing them with custom messages
* Ensure all elaboratables are subclasses of :class:`Elaboratable`
* Ensure clock domains aren't used outside the module that defines them, or its submodules; move clock domain definitions upwards in the hierarchy as necessary

Version 0.4
===========
Support has been added for a new and improved way of defining data structures in :mod:`amaranth.lib.data` and component interfaces in :mod:`amaranth.lib.wiring`, as defined in `RFC 1`_ and `RFC 2`_. :class:`Record` has been deprecated. In a departure from the usual policy, to give designers additional time to migrate, :class:`Record` will be removed in Amaranth 0.6 (one release later than normal).
Support for enumerations has been extended. A shape for enumeration members can be provided for an enumeration class, as defined in `RFC 3`_.
The language includes several new extension points for integration with :class:`Value` based data structures defined outside of the core language. In particular, ``Signal(shape)`` may now return a :class:`Signal` object wrapped in another if ``shape`` implements the call protocol, as defined in `RFC 15`_.
Several issues with shape inference have been resolved. Notably, ``a - b`` where both ``a`` and ``b`` are unsigned now returns a signed value.
Support for Python 3.6 and 3.7 has been removed, and support for Python 3.11 and 3.12 has been added.
Features deprecated in version 0.3 have been removed. In particular, the ``nmigen.*`` namespace is not provided, ``# nmigen:`` annotations are not recognized, and ``NMIGEN_*`` envronment variables are not used.
The Migen compatibility layer remains deprecated (as it had been since Amaranth 0.1), and is now scheduled to be removed in version 0.5.
Migrating from version 0.3
--------------------------
Apply the following changes to code written against Amaranth 0.3 to migrate it to version 0.4:
* Update shell environment to use ``AMARANTH_*`` environment variables instead of ``NMIGEN_*`` environment variables.
* Update shell environment to use ``AMARANTH_ENV_<TOOLCHAIN>`` (with all-uppercase ``<TOOLCHAIN>`` name) environment variable names instead of ``AMARANTH_ENV_<Toolchain>`` or ``NMIGEN_ENV_<Toolchain>`` (with mixed-case ``<Toolchain>`` name).
* Update imports of the form ``from amaranth.vendor.some_vendor import SomeVendorPlatform`` to ``from amaranth.vendor import SomeVendorPlatform``. This change will reduce future churn.
* Replace uses of ``Const.normalize(value, shape)`` with ``Const(value, shape).value``.
* Replace uses of ``Repl(value, count)`` with ``value.replicate(count)``.
* Replace uses of ``Record`` with :mod:`amaranth.lib.data` and :mod:`amaranth.lib.wiring`. The appropriate replacement depends on the use case. If ``Record`` was being used for data storage and accessing the bit-level representation, use :mod:`amaranth.lib.data`. If ``Record`` was being used for connecting design components together, use :mod:`amaranth.lib.wiring`.
* Replace uses of ``Sample``, ``Past``, ``Stable``, ``Rose``, ``Fell`` with a manually instantiated register, e.g. ``past_x = Signal.like(x); m.d.sync += past_x.eq(x)``.
* Remove uses of ``amaranth.compat`` by migrating to native Amaranth syntax.
* Ensure the ``Pin`` instance returned by ``platform.request`` is not cast to value directly, but used for its fields. Replace code like ``leds = Cat(platform.request(led, n) for n in range(4))`` with ``leds = Cat(platform.request(led, n).o for n in range(4))`` (note the ``.o``).
* Remove uses of ``amaranth.lib.scheduler.RoundRobin`` by inlining or copying the implementation of that class.
* Remove uses of ``amaranth.lib.fifo.SyncFIFO(fwft=False)`` and ``amaranth.lib.fifo.FIFOInterface(fwft=False)`` by converting code to use ``fwft=True`` FIFOs or copying the implementation of those classes.
While code that uses the features listed as deprecated below will work in Amaranth 0.4, they will be removed in the next version.
