+ * DEVICES: Updated (again) changing BSIM4 level from 60 to 14 since
+ older model revisions are not yet in ngspice. This is consistent
+ with model developers: newer models are compatible with older ones.
+
+ * src/spicelib/devices/bsim4/: updated to revision 4.4.0 with "m"
+ parallel multiplier enhancements. Thanks to Mick Tooher
+ and Dietmar Warning for
+ this update.
+
+ * tests/bsim4/: updated test files for bsim4 4.4.0. The old files have
+ been replaced with new ones coming from BSIM4 site. There are new
+ tests: (*_gedl*) and ro_17.cir.
