There is a new development snapshot of gnucap available. There's a package at: http://www.gnucap.org/devel/gnucap-2007-03-29.tar.gz or http://geda.seul.org/dist/gnucap-2007-03-29.tar.gz
Models have also been updated: http://www.gnucap.org/devel/gnucap-2007-03-29-bsim-models.tar.gz http://www.gnucap.org/devel/gnucap-2007-03-29-ngspice17-models.tar.gz http://www.gnucap.org/devel/gnucap-2007-03-29-spice3f5-models.tar.gz or http://geda.seul.org/dist/gnucap-2007-03-29-bsim-models.tar.gz http://geda.seul.org/dist/gnucap-2007-03-29-ngspice17-models.tar.gz http://geda.seul.org/dist/gnucap-2007-03-29-spice3f5-models.tar.gz And ..... There's a new one: http://www.gnucap.org/devel/gnucap-2007-03-29-tools.tar.gz or http://geda.seul.org/dist/gnucap-2007-03-29-tools.tar.gz The new one contains tools plugins. For now, there are two plugins to adjust calculation precision. One selects full 80 bit precision on systems that by default round to 64 bit. The other selects 64 bit IEEE compliant math on systems that default to 80 bit. These only work on Intel and AMD 32 bit CPU's. They have no effect on AMD 64 bit CPU's. This snapshot provides (over the old one) ... 1. Correction of internal node mapping bug. When using spice plugins, in some cases internal nodes were not mapped correctly giving incorrect results. This has been fixed. 2. The initialization order - link order dependency has been fixed. 3. The "s_" files, the code for simulation itself can now be compiled separately and used as plugins. They are still compiled in by default, but you can change that 4. A problem with incremental matrix update, that sometimes led to incorrect results after recovery from a convergence failure has been fixed. A technical explanation will be posted on the developer list. 5. There has been a change to the compilation procedure for the plugins. As usual, I am asking for feedback, particularly on non-Linux and non-GNU systems. This one is still very much a development snapshot. The arrangement of files and compilation procedure WILL change before the next stable release. Most likely it will change in the next development snapshot. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
