MacSpice for Mac

Enhancements:

• The front-end error/warning reporting code has been refactored. As a result, most commands in source files now include error/warning messages that identify the line responsible.
• New location command for debugging scripts.
• Improvements to the drawing and labelling of grids for graphs.
• Performance of the fft() and ifft() functions.
• Improvements to SVG and PostScript graphics drivers.
• Improvements to the way the graph-plotting commands handle the 'all' wildcard. For example, plot all excludes the abscissa from the list of vectors displayed and plot all vs all triggers an error.
• Improved hash() function quality for vectors with complex arguments. (Hashes of complex vectors will differ pre- and post-v3.3.0.)
• Added support for parameters with string values, e.g.:
  • set foo = @modname[param]
  • set foo = @devname[param]
  now work as expected. Also,
  • let bar = @modname[param]
  • let bar = @devname[param]
  assign the hash value of the param string to bar.
• Vectors:
  • faster look-up by name;
  • faster expression evaluation;
  • internal storage of complex vectors changed from 'interleaved' to 'split' format.
• Improved behaviour when executable is invoked directly as a command line tool.
• Incremental plotting (iplot) now uses:
  • the type of the scale for the x-grid;
  • the multiplot linestyle.
• Report an error when the number of steps specified for AC or NOISE analyses is invalid.

Bugs Fixed:

• Syntax error in the output generated by the SVG hardcopy driver.
• Missing final point on graphs when the number of points equalled polydegree+1.
• Device and model parameters with names containing special characters "-+*/%~" were inaccessible using the @name[param] syntax.
• Character '?' was not allowed in node, variable, etc. names.
• Format error in 'show all' values for vsrc device pos_node/neg_node.
• Freezing during incremental plotting (iplot).
• Memory issue when the set command was used after destroy all.
• Fixed length buffers in mkfnode() and mksnode().
• A number of minor memory leaks.
• Regression: Data copy error in vec_mkfamily(). [Build 362]
• Regression: Non-recognition of indented comment lines. [Build 366]
