V1.0 first public version V1.1 - Functions "Rotate" and "Redraw" had the same shortcut. Changed "Redraw" to AMIGA-A, because it`s not often used. - New tooltypes: Function-keys (F1-F10) can be mapped to any available element. - More keyboard functions: schematic can be scrolled via cursor-keys, all gadgets in "edit element"-window have keyboard shortcuts. - Little bug in plot-window: left border was sometimes to small, has fixed size now. - "Operation Point" in "Internal Elements" removed. !! - Added stimulus-editor for all "Piecewise linear current/voltage" sources. (experimental) See "Menüfunktionen" !! - New element-library (Analog Devices) with OpAmps and voltage comparators. I`m not sure, wether it runs 100% correctly, be careful... !! - Knot-elements can now have an initial voltage. Check with menu function: "edit element" V1.2 - English manual written by Leif Johnsson. !! - Localization excluding all circuit elements. (currently german and english) !! - complete rewrite of plot window. !! - EPS export of the schematic (needs amigametaformat.library © by Henk Jonas). New tooltypes EPSFONT and EPSFONTSIZE. - Installerscript - Additional NMOS and transistor libraries by Hendrik Jan Zwerver - Status window on startup. (loading of all libs can take some time...) - Added my bank-account to the manual - feel free to send me some money. (I'm just a student...) !! - You can now double-click the elements to open the edit-window V1.3 !! - Added OPTIONS element to internal lib. All SPICE control variables can now be changed by adding this element to a circuit. !! - Knots can now be selected directly, without having to activate an element before. MUCH easier to edit now... - Fixed a bug with the "asynchronous" plot-window. Asynchronous means, that you can still use all other program-functions BUT you cannot open more than ONE plot-window. Now a requester will pop-up in this case. - Corrected Hendrik Jan Zwervers name in this file. (sorry...) - Version 1.2 crashed when started from CLI, fixed now. !! - Library elements which are described by a subcircuit can now have parameters. Look at example circuit "Transformator". !! - Added "transformer"-element, which uses the feature above, to the "passive elements"-library. - I switched over to a 68040/40 with 40MHz (playing DOOM and DESCENT...) so I added a special 68040/40 version to the archive. - Spanish manual and locale by Juan Antonio Burgos López !! the new things that came in V1.3 are still in english, because for me there's no difference between spanish and chineese !! (to Juan: you can find the english sentences in the manual by simply searching for a double "!!". There's also one locale string which you can find by searching for "NOT TRANSLATED") - Additional libraries by Hendrik Jan Zwerver V1.4 - Added an alternative inductor by Hendrik Jan Zwerver to the "passive elements" library - Italian catalog by Alessandro Basso - Again some new bibs by Hendrik Jan Zwerver - French catalog by Jean-Michel Chapron !! - Added the "cross under mousepointer"-function in the plotwindow again. MUCH better now. !! - AmiSPICEed can now be run on an own customscreen. Screenmode and colors must be controled via two new tooltypes - read the guide! V1.5 !! - Additional Gadget in Plotwindow makes it possible to save the active plots into an ASCII-file. The used delimitter can be selected via a new tooltype (DELIMITTER). - Installerscript was not working because of missing directories in the lha-file. Does nobody use the installer, or why didn't I receive any mails about this?!? !! - I had a bad bad bug in the plot-output of an AC analysis. SPICE doesn't give me the magnitude and phase values but real and imaginary parts. Now the window initially shows Re() and Im(). - Again some more libs and elements by Hendrik Jan Zwerver. (As usual...) !! - Added a configurable voltage switch to the "contr.switches" library, just to show how to use subcircuit-parameters for elements which are described by a model. Found a little bug there: only one parameter per line was accepted, fixed now. - Fixed a little bug in the resizing-routine of the plot-window. A wrong drawmode was possible, when clearing the window. - Installerscript contains some spanish-strings now. Again thanks to Juan Antonio Burgos López !! - Now you have the possibility to add new plots to the plot-window by entering expressions of UNLIMITTED complexity like: U1+U2, 2*(U1+U2-U3/2), abs(A0) or phase(U0), abs(A0), Re(U0)+Im(U0). (Thanks to my good old prof from India who told me about the "inverse polish notation" at the university) There are some differences between normal and complex mode (in AC-plots), so READ THE GUIDE!!!!!!. - The "library"-listview is now scalable too. The two listviews will split the window in two halves (approx.) - Elements can now be deleted via the DEL-key. V1.6 - Updated italien catalog by Alessandro Basso. - Little bug in the plotting routine: if a plot was plotted with dashed lines, the box around was dashed, too. - New element (OP97) by Niklas Wallin. !! - non-linear controlled sources (B-sources) can now use voltages in their expressions. Read the guide and have a look at the demo circuit: "B-Test". - Very important: added a NEW surf-picture of mine. It was shot in the morning of the 4th june of 1998 at Lemkenhafen on the nice german island called Fehmarn. - Updated spanish catalog and guide by Juan Antonio Burgos López V1.7 - Bug in the new B-source routines: it didn't work in subcircuits. Fixed now. (took only a minute - how stupid!) - Libraries are now sorted alphabetically during load. Only the "Internal library" will stay at the top. - All elements in the libraries are now in alphabetical order. Please add your new elements at the correct place. !! - Subcircuit exorting was faulty. If two (ore more) subs with the same name were in a circuit, only one was exported. - Some enhancements to the bipolar and transistor bibs by Andrzej Boreczko !! - Added new tooltype: DRAWVALUES. Values of some elements will be printed in brakets behind the spice-name (eg. R0 (10k)). Currently resistors, capacitors and inductors are supported. !! - Spice output-file (T:rawfile.spice) wasn't successfully deleted after execution. I tried to delete it before I closed the file... Fixed now. - Polish catalog by Andrzej Boreczko - Added some strings to the catalogs which were not translated before. (Only english and german!) You can find these strings in the "Catalogs.sc" file by searching for "NOT TRANSLATED!". - Again a new surfpicture of mine - is's on the Veluwemeer in the netherlands. - New library "FETS.bib" by Andrzej Boreczko V1.8 - NE5561-model and example circuits by Hendrik Jan Zwerver. Extra page added to the guide files. - Some people of WARP9 created an "official homepage" for AmiSPICEed at http://www.w9.org/HTML/spice.html - Found a "little" memory bug related to circuit simulation. - Splitted plots were joined again, when the plot window was resized - fixed now. - Value-gadgets at the left side of the plot window were to small when using big fonts - should be better know. - Shortcuts for elements in external libs didn't work - fixed. - New menu-entry: "save as IC..." - the circuit (and it's subcircuits) beeing currently on the display is saved to the ICs directory. The name of the output file is the name of the current IC by default. - Added some more elements with value display (constant current and voltage, sinus current and voltage) - Compiled an extra version for 68060 users. V1.9 - New tooltype GRID=ON/OFF implemented to select a grid-mode for the schematics window. - Improved value display of sinus sources a bit - if no value for FREQ or amplitude is given, NOTHING will be displayed. - EPS-output improved - element numbers will be printed now. - Removed the nervy "Really delete selected element?"-requester. - Improved the editor a bit: elements which are currently moved around can now be rotated and flipped in move-mode. You have to replace the element first before most of the other functions can be performed or before a new element can be selected. - Updated polish catalog and installer-script by Andrzej Boreczko. - Very nice NewIcon by Andrzej Boreczko. - New italien catalog by Matteo Cortese. - Changed default-colours and grid line-style of plot-window a bit. - Subcircuits in subcircuits didn't work in simulation because all sub- cicuits were instanciated at the top-level in SPICE-files. Fixed. - Added a configurable relais to the switches library. (I don't know wether it really works good...) - Two new potis in passive.bib by Hendrik Jan Zwerver. - New french catalog and guide by Jean Michel Chapron. V2.0 - Filerequester for loading a library didn't open on custom-screen - should be ok now. - Position and size of the filerequesters is saved to and loaded from the prefs file now (save window positions). - Menus have now NEWLOOK style. - New polish catalog by Andrzej Boreczko - New location of the homepage at: www.snafu.de/~ramboy/HTML/spice.html - Circuits can now contain more than one type of analysis. Element numbers can now be edited and whenever exporting a circuit with more than one type of analysis, a requester pops up and asks for the element-number of the active one. UPDATE: - New libraries (led, Schottky, Varactor) and some more zeners by Davide Drapa. V2.1 - Little bugfix in the initialization of the library listview. - New window with shortcut buttons for all elements of the internal library. - Some new and enhanced libs: led.bib, Schottky.bib, SemiConductive.bib, Varactor.bib, Zeners.bib Known bugs: - Rotating interface elements in subcircuits in move-mode leaves the connections at top-level untouched. - Loading of ICs sometimes still shouffles the connections. - Sometimes (when returning from a subcircuit?!) the drawn grid is off the real grid.
