Redrejo Rodríguez Changed-By: Frans Schreuder Description: qucs - Quite Universal Circuit Simulator Changes: qucs (0.0.18-2) utopic; urgency=medium . * Qucs 0.0.18 Release Notes * This release brings improvements on many parts of Qucs. The port from Qt3 to Qt4 is still ongoing and any bugs and usability issues have been fixed in the process. A few new features were added and others are in development. See below a short summary of the most noticeable enhancements. * Qucs, Qucsator * new: Dynamic compilation and loading of Verilog-A modules (beta feature). Addition of a full ADMS/Qucs "turn key" Verilog-A compact device modelling system to Qucs. Users are no longer required to manually edit C++ code and the build system to be able to run Verilog-A models. Uses ADMS 2.3.4 (only a subset of Verilog-A is supported). * fix: Spice file handling and translator * new: Addition of BSIM 3 and BSIM 4 models to Qucs MOS models. * new: Release of the first model (RFresistor) in a new series of RF models for Harmonic Balance and other forms of Qucs simulation. * new: HICUM npn and pnp Level 0 V1.3 Verilog-A devices. * new: HICUM npn level 2 V2.32 Verilog-A device. * Qucs * new/fix : Ported several classes from Qt3Support to Qt4 (work in progress) * new: use QSettings to store user preferences and application settings * new: Copy/duplicate project content files * new: Export schematic and diagrams to SVG, PNG, JPG, JPEG, PDF, PDF+Latex, EPS (Inkscape required) * new: Component library is not included on the Dock Window * new: Added checkbox to settings, which allows to load schematics from future versions * new: Open Recent menu option * new: Set ADMS, ASCO and Octave paths on the application settings * new: Use environment variables ADMSXMLBINDIR, ASCOBINDIR, OCTAVEBINDIR to set tools paths * new: Updated translations: pt-BR, pt-PT, ru * Qucsator * new: Refactoring of Qucsator namespace. Most of the core functions are under the namespace qucs:: * new: Allow to run autotest by adding bugon/assert operator * new: initial support for unit testing with googletest. * new: added a Python scripts for parsing Qucs data files * fix: enable BJT models with (Vtf < 0) * QucsFilter, QucsAttenuator, QucsHelp, QucsEdit * new/fix : Ported several classes from Qt3Support to Qt4 (work in progress) * QucsResCodes * new: QucsResCodes is a program to compute color codes for resistors and resistance values from color codes. The program computes the closest standard resistor value. Users can paste the computed resistor in the schematic. * Interfaces * Improved Qucs/Octave interface for GUI and Qucssator netlist entry (including a start on a Octave library of plotting functions for Qucs post simulation data visualisation) * First steps in developing a combined Qucs/Python Qucs simulation capability with high quality date visualisation using matplolib. Applications include basic sensitivity analysis and circuit performance optimisation. * Preliminary version of Qucs/Octave linked transient simulation capability. * Build system * Add ADMS as a Git submodule to the Qucs Git repository * Added --disable-asco and --disable-adms option to skip the build of included sources * Added CMake (experimental) for advanced users building from Git repository * OSX: options to build against 10.5 to 10.9 SDK * Included packages * ASCO 0.4.9 (patched) * ADMS 2.3.4 * Miscelaneous * Project website is now under version control. * Source code is now under Travis continuous integration service. * Source code documentation (Doxygen) available on the website. * Preliminary regression and test suite (qucs-test) * Bug fixes * Hundreds of bug fixes and code improvements.
