* Bug fixes: + ngspice-40 is mostly a bug-fix release. In conjunction with KiCad and shared ngspice, inappropriate user inputs have led to crashing ngspice. + bugs no. 331, 619, 620, 624 have been fixed + 9 crash bugs (double delete, access NULL pointer etc) removed which have occurred mostly due to incomplete or faulty inputs. + Memory leaks removed- Moved user manual (ngspice-doc) to separate source package.
* Tue Feb 14 2023 Stefan Brüns - Update to version 39:
* New features: + ngspice now offers simulation with Verilog-A models, using its new OSDI interface and the OpenVAF model compiler. This enhancement enables access to all modern compact models for short channel MOS, FinFets, double gate transistors, SiGe bipolars, and III-V HEMTs. + ngspice now supports nearly all features of digital PSPICE compatible U devices (instances). Therefore we now may simulate a wealth of digital devices. These are translated into internal XSPICE event models, with very fast simulation. + For a list of additional new features please have a look at the NEWS feature in the ngspice tarball.
