* Wed Apr 05 2023 Stefan Brüns - Update to version 40:
* New features: + VBIC: Add optional parameters for determining the operation region + VBIC: Add bvbe, bvbc, bvce, bvsub as SOA parameters + Add inertial delay to all basic digital code models, make it available for U devices + VDMOS default parameters are now similar to IRF540 IRF9540 + Add function atanh to .control section + Add a scale factor \'a\' (atto, 1e-18)
* 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.
* Patches: Many developer and user provided patches and bug fixes have been applied.
* Fri Jan 27 2023 Stefan Brüns - Remove noarch from scripts package, spinit contains absolute paths to binary codemodels.- Update URL
* Sat Nov 05 2022 Stefan Brüns - Update to version 38:
* New features: + .probe command updated (current and power measurements). + Support of digital devices with U-instance models (PSPICE compatible). + Automatic generation of A/D and D/A bridging interfaces, when mixed signal simulation (combining analog and event-based digital) is used. + Update to pow() function (LTSPICE compatible). + For a list of all new features please have a look at the NEWS feature in the ngspice tarball.
* Patches: Many developer and user provided patches and bug fixes have been applied.
* Sat Jun 25 2022 Stefan Brüns - Update to version 37:
* New features: + .probe command to measure currents, differential potentials or device power dissipation + S-parameter simulation with command .sp + command \'esave\' to save only relevant digital nodes + substantail speed-up of plotting under MS Windows + flags \'alle\' and \'digitop\' to the plot command + reduce XSPICE memory consumption dramatically + For a list of all new features please have a look at the included NEWS file.
* Patches: Many developer and user provided patches and bug fixes have been applied. Other bugs and some memory leaks have been removed as well.- Remove obsolete ngspice-Use-gnuplot-terminal-auto-detection.patch- Spec file cleanup
* Fri Feb 11 2022 Stefan Brüns - Update to version 36:
* New features: + .probe command to measure currents or differential potentials + x/y contour plots for 2d Cider simulation + new function integ (integration) + command \'wrnodev\' to print matrix RHS as .ic = V(node_xx) + Transient operating point + more SOA (safe operating area) parameters on more devices + For a list of all new features please have a look at the included NEWS file.
* Patches: + Many developer and user provided patches and bug fixes have been applied. Other bugs and some memory leaks have been removed as well.
* Thu Sep 23 2021 Matthew Trescott - Packaging changes:
* Fix build dependencies to include X libs for interactive build
* Add build dependency on Xft for FreeType rendering in plotter
* Mon Aug 16 2021 Andrés B.S. - Update to version 35:
* New features: + Libtool version info for shared ngspice + Version info in sharedspice.h. + Replace double braces {{...}} by {(...)} in netlist (PSLT mode). + Add plotting of graphics in SVG format. + Setting variable \'nounits\' allows suppressing the unit in a graph. + Update of macOS configure script. + In sharedspice API, convert all boolean variables to type integer for C++ compatibility. + Add geometry scaling to diode device model (level 3). + In PS mode exp function is limited to exp(14). + Speed enhancement for using SkyWater PDK under Linux. + Add option Cshunt which adds a capacitor to each circuit voltage node. + Diode device model now has a self heating option. + Allow opening files with names containing ANSI special characters. + Enable using parameters in .options lines. + For C and R devices enable value tokens like 4k7 or 1u2 in addition to 4.7k and 1.2u. + New XSPICE pswitch for internally replacing the vswitch. + Within a single run, allow multiple PS or SVG plots with different names. + Don\'t replace a device model name by a parameter, if both have the same names. + Analog delay code model \'delay\'. + B source (ASRC) will acknowledge temp and dtemp instance parameters. + In CIDER printing of either ASCII or binary is supported. + PSP models now support NMOS and PMOS, update to parameters and examples. + E and G source TABLE function replaces by a B source pwl. + re-enable making the old help system for Linux/Cygwin by --enable-help --enable-oldapps. + Enable the m parameter in E, G, B, R behavioral source/devices.
