-  Bug fixes:
-    + Major code cleanup to reduce compiler/linker warnings: ansi function prototypes, 
-      void/char pointers to named pointers, explicit type casts and many more  
-    + Many small bugs
+- Bug fixes:
+    + More on prototypes, type casts, reordering of functions, compiler warnings
+	+ allow models like 2N2904 or 2SK136 also in subcircuits
