New in Qucs 0.0.18 (Sep 8, 2014)
- The new 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.
- Addition of a full ADMS/Qucs "turn key" Verilog-A compact device modelling system to Qucs. There are new components such as BSIM 3, BSIM 4, HICUM L2 V2.32.
- Refactoring of Qucsator namespace, most of the core functions are under the 'qucs' namespace. Updated translations: pt-BR, pt-PT, ru. Addition of QucsResCodes which is a program to compute color codes for resistors and resistance values from color codes. Export schematic and diagrams
- to SVG, PNG, JPG, JPEG, PDF, PDF+Latex, EPS (Inkscape required).
New in Qucs 0.0.15 (Jun 3, 2009)
- The new release comes with new translations into Arabic and Czech, model libraries for PMOSFETs, NMOSFETs, regulators, varistors and ideal components, and many new primitive components such as EPFL-EKV NMOS/PMOS V2.6, rectangular waveguide, HICUM L0 v1.2, HICUM L2 v3.23, photodiode, digital buffer, microstrip radial stub, phototransistor, RLCG transmission line and numerous new digital primitives.
- Passing parameters to Verilog-HDL and VHDL subcircuits and typed generic parameters of VHDL files are now supported as well as arbitrary in/out signals.
- Simulation time for digital files (Verilog and VHDL) are now stored in an additional configuration file and the import dialog has been replaced by a complete import/export frontend for the Qucs-Converter command line tool. US letter formats for schematic frame have been added. The build system now implements an additional install step for MacOSX and the appropriate icons.
- In the analogue simulation core global nodes (e.g. subst!) have been introduced, property references inside the same instance of a component and variables in constant parameter simulation boxes are allowed.
- A noise figure property has been added to the amplifier model and the matrix power operation is available in the equation solver.
- The Qucs-Converter command line tool allows now to translate existing HICUM models into library elements as well as the translation of polynomial C's and L's and F, H, E and G polynomial SPICE sources.
