The latest version released is:
* ngspice-32 (released on 01/05/2020)
* ngspice-33 (released on 18/10/2020)
2.2. What are the latest features in the current release?
- New features:
+ Add resource info on memory used and available for macOS
+ redesign of memory monitoring
+ Replace B source pwl by XSPICE PWL Controlled Source that has smooth rounded and
stepless differentiable corners.
+ Get a variable directly from an input file with i/o redirection
+ Make 64 bit compilation the standard
+ On Windows VisualStudio compilation we support only VS2019
+ Add function 'conj'
+ Improved error messages for 'meas' command
+ Improved PSPICE compatibility
+ VDMOS model now allows electro-thermal simulation
Optionally (instance flag 'thermal') 2 thermal nodes tj and tcase are added
to the device instance
+ Enable utf-8 and UNICODE for string handling (maybe switch off by --disable-utf8)
+ Vastly redisigned plotting capability: vertical text for labeling y axis,
independent color selection for background, grid/text and graphs,
independent width selection for grid and graph, access to UNICODE fonts,
characters may become ticmarks (variable 'ticchar'), RGB color tables included,
variable 'nolegend' switches off the legend
+ Add variables 'oscompiled'
+ Command 'let' to allow default low and high indices
+ Upon calculating the operating point, true gmin stepping added
+ Free the internal control structure memory by sending ngSpice_Command(NULL)
+ No interrupt handling (SIGINT) in shared ngspice
+ Limit the exp function to exp(14)
+ Event simulation output data may be selected by command 'setplot'
+ try first storing the temporary file in user directory,
only then in current directory.
+ Add adding the ngspice icon to the MINGW executable.
+ Do not print tansient initial conditions, if uic is selected.
+ Enable node names with special characters like '/'.
+ Do not print "Units" on a graph, if unknown type or settype notype is given.
+ Unify batch mode and control mode raw file output.
+ Make PPerror message more verbose.
+ Make the pwl parameter r adjustable by .param.
+ Enable flags xdelta, ydelta for 'gnuplot' command.
+ Enable special characters for cpl model names and parameters.
+ New command 'cutout': Cut out part of each vector of the current tran plot
and copy into a new plot
+ Compatibility switches KiCad 'ki', and Spectre 'spe'
+ Remove vceo= and icrating= from bjt model cards.
+ The tests of cmaths function will be done only on request.
+ Add alternative temperature model for certain jfet parameters.
+ Add BJT Kull Quasi-Saturation model.
+ Improve self heating tempaerature handling in VDMOS model.
+ Use W/nf for selecting binning model.
+ Add wnflag as an instance parameter.
+ Add PSPICE compatible ISWITCH.
+ Add a limit capability to the code model aswitch.
+ Add a new code model pswitch.
+ Many conde updates not visible to the user, but enhancing stability
and efficiency
- Bug fixes:
+ many bugs fixed and code improvements (see bugs 427 and up)
+ many bugs fixed and code improvements (see bugs 484 and up)
+ memory leaks removed
