 ## Steps
 
+* `OpenROAD.GlobalPlacement`
+
+  * Exposed `-routability_check_overflow` argument as new variable
+    `PL_ROUTABILITY_OVERFLOW_THRESHOLD`.
+
 * `Yosys.*Synthesis`
-  * Created new variable `SYNTH_HIERARCHY_MODE`, replacing `SYNTH_NO_FLAT`. There are three options, `flatten`, `deferred_flatten` and `keep`. The first two correspond to `SYNTH_NO_FLAT` being false and true respectively. The third keeps the hierarchy in the final netlist.
-  * Created new variable `SYNTH_TIE_UNDEFINED` to customize whether undefined and undriven values are tied low, high, or left as-is.
-  * Created new variable `SYNTH_WRITE_NOATTR` to allow attributes to be propagated to the final netlist.

 ## CLI
 
-* Added new option: `-e`/`--initial-state-element-override`: allows an element in the initial state to be overridden straight from the commandline.
