<@U020J2W6Q84> Question regarding OpenLane(1): Why is the used KLayout version still at 0.28.2, while OL1 and OL2 require the KLayout pip package, which is at 0.28.14? Could you please update the KLayout version in `tool_metadata.yml`?

<@U020J2W6Q84> <@U01634FV755> Follow-up question: Is the KLayout version in the `tool_metadata.yml` still relevant for OL1? If no, I think it should be removed from the tool manifest.

<@U02UAUGSQ22> OL2 is at 0.28.13 while OL1 is at 0.28.2. In both cases we are not using the pip package of KLayout. We are using the python module included with building KLayout.

`tool_metadata.yml` is still relevant yes. And yes we should update KLayout to match the version in OL2.

<@U02UAUGSQ22> Thanks for the heads up- we do try to keep versions synchronized but things end up slipping through the cracks sometimes.
