2.2. What are the latest features in the current release?
- New features:
+ Reduction of trtol to 1 only if 'A' devices in the circuit and xspice is enabled
+ command wrs2p to write a s-parameter file using Touchstone vers. 1 format
+ d_source d_state d_ram, test cases for those xspice codemodels
+ transient noise simulation added to independent voltage and current sources
+ Random telegraph noise added to independent voltage and current sources
+ 'time = nnn' in stop command added
+ random voltage generator option trrandom to independent voltage and current sources
+ ngspice build possible in a separate directory (e.g. in ng-spice-rework/release)
+ update FIND .. WHEN measurements
+ diode & bjt temperature model update with tlev and tlevc
+ merge bsim3v1a code with bsim3v0 and bsim3v1s code with bsim3v1
+ bjt2: removed - all GP extensions of this model are now in the bjt model
+ HiSIM_HV model vers. 1.2.1 added
+ bsim3v32: delvto and mulu0 as instance parameters
+ Replace HiSIM1 by HiSIM_2.5.1_Release_20110407
+ add temperature coefficients for B source
+ commands "mdump", "mrdump" to dump matrix to file
+ allow `time', `temper', and `hertz' in expressions with behavioral R, L, C
+ Enable ctrl-c to interrupt a simulation also for Windows GUI
+ tests/bsim4: use the standard CMC model check
+ implement exit code for command "quit"
+ .nodeset all = value
+ memristor code model in extradev
+ new scalable diode model including tunnel component
+ variable xtrtol may override the XSPICE reduction of trtol
+ XSPICE example: delta-sigma converter
+ XSPICE: new d_source model
+ new option noopac
+ bsim3: make additonal parameters accessible with @mxx[par]
+ hisim2 update to version 2.6.1, new qa tests
+ enable Mac OS X compilation
+ option reseries = val
+ commands "snsave", "snload"
+ update hisim to version 2.7.0
+ hisimhv update to version 1.2.3
+ allow Ctrl-d to quit
+ jfet model temperature extension, tcv and bex parameter
+ speed up vector handling by hash table for vector address storage and retrieval
+ update PSS code
- Bug fixes:
+ More on prototypes, type casts, reordering of functions, compiler warnings
+ allow models like 2N2904 or 2SK136 also in subcircuits
+ fix sensitvity calculation (for the dc-2+.cir testcase)
+ allow multiple call to setup w/ correct node collapsing
+ many, many ... please see
http://ngspice.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=ngspice/ngspice;a=shortlog;pg=0
+ remove memory leaks
+ update tclspice for MS Windows
+ adms3 removed due to licensing issues
+ Many small bugs
