* Wed Apr 05 2023 Stefan Brüns <stefan.bruens@rwth-aachen.de>
- Update to version 40:
* New features:
+ VBIC: Add optional parameters for determining the operation
region
+ VBIC: Add bvbe, bvbc, bvce, bvsub as SOA parameters
+ Add inertial delay to all basic digital code models, make it
available for U devices
+ VDMOS default parameters are now similar to IRF540 IRF9540
+ Add function atanh to .control section
+ Add a scale factor 'a' (atto, 1e-18)
* Bug fixes:
+ ngspice-40 is mostly a bug-fix release. In conjunction with
KiCad and shared ngspice, inappropriate user inputs have led
to crashing ngspice.
+ bugs no. 331, 619, 620, 624 have been fixed
+ 9 crash bugs (double delete, access NULL pointer etc)
removed which have occurred mostly due to incomplete or
faulty inputs.
+ Memory leaks removed
- Moved user manual (ngspice-doc) to separate source package.

- Update to version 39:
* New features:
+ ngspice now offers simulation with Verilog-A models, using
its new OSDI interface and the OpenVAF model compiler. This
enhancement enables access to all modern compact models for
short channel MOS, FinFets, double gate transistors, SiGe
bipolars, and III-V HEMTs.
+ ngspice now supports nearly all features of digital PSPICE
compatible U devices (instances). Therefore we now may
simulate a wealth of digital devices. These are translated
into internal XSPICE event models, with very fast simulation.
+ For a list of additional new features please have a look at
the NEWS feature in the ngspice tarball.
* Patches: Many developer and user provided patches and bug
fixes have been applied.
* Fri Jan 27 2023 Stefan Brüns <stefan.bruens@rwth-aachen.de>
- Remove noarch from scripts package, spinit contains absolute
paths to binary codemodels.

+ Support of digital devices with U-instance models
(PSPICE compatible).
+ Automatic generation of A/D and D/A bridging interfaces, when
mixed signal simulation (combining analog and event-based
digital) is used.
+ Update to pow() function (LTSPICE compatible).
+ For a list of all new features please have a look at the
NEWS feature in the ngspice tarball.
* Patches: Many developer and user provided patches and bug
fixes have been applied.

or device power dissipation
+ S-parameter simulation with command .sp
+ command 'esave' to save only relevant digital nodes
+ substantail speed-up of plotting under MS Windows
+ flags 'alle' and 'digitop' to the plot command
+ reduce XSPICE memory consumption dramatically

included NEWS file.

- Update to version 36:
* New features:
+ .probe command to measure currents or differential potentials
+ x/y contour plots for 2d Cider simulation
+ new function integ (integration)
+ command 'wrnodev' to print matrix RHS as .ic = V(node_xx)
+ Transient operating point
+ more SOA (safe operating area) parameters on more devices
+ For a list of all new features please have a look at the
included NEWS file.
* Patches:
+ Many developer and user provided patches and bug fixes have
been applied. Other bugs and some memory leaks have been
removed as well.

been updated considerably, concerning color and linewidth
selection and fonts for labeling.
+ New commands have been added.
