If you are having trouble with an assert failure when using Spice model plugins, or if you are developing plugins, you should upgrade. This release has one minor bug fix in spice-wrapper.cc, and some changes to the interface to simulation data. The bug would cause an assertion failure, with some circuits. It is minor in the sense that the real code was correct. It was the check that was wrong. You could just remove the line with the failure. There is a proper fix in this release. There are changes in organization regarding the "language" plugins, changing them to single files which will make them easier to manage as plugins. This change is not significant to most users. There are changes to the access to simulation data. In particular, there are new files "sim_data.h" and "sim_data.cc", and static pointer "_sim" in CKT_BASE. This is probably not significant to most users, but if you have any custom plugins, they will need to be changed. There are two reasons for the change. The first is to improve incapsulation, making a cleaner boundary between core and what could be a plugin. The second is as a step toward being able to store multiple simulation runs for postprocessing. As usual, to get started you need only the main package gnucap-2009-xx-xx.tar.gz . You need to recompile all of the plugins with the new headers and wrappers. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
