v0.1.0-alpha.8 - Simplified GUI defaults

Alpha 8 updates the GUI for easier first-run testing.\n\nChanges:\n- Objective default weights: Gain 2.35, Bandwidth 0.19, CMRR 0.07, PSRR 0.05, Noise 0.03, Area 0.24.\n- LUT Cache panel now keeps common fields visible and moves advanced Spectre/grid controls under More....\n- Windows and Linux GUI bundles were rebuilt.\n- IC617 /opt install was synced locally for immediate testing.\n\nSafety audit before upload: no private AmpSys/yami/TheScanner/acsolver source directories, no core source files, and no cosim entries are included in the release zip.

v0.1.0-alpha.6 - Hardened Linux one-click installer

Alpha release with a hardened Linux one-click installer. The Linux install script now supports default /opt installs, user-writable fallback under ~/.local/share when /opt is unavailable, explicit custom install roots, stable launchers in ~/bin, automatic core archive extraction, and cleaner payload copying that excludes .git/workspace/log artifacts. Previous cross-PDK Spectre/HSPICE LUT validation remains included. Public repository excludes private AmpSys/yami/TheScanner/acsolver source; release zip contains obfuscated core binaries only. This plugin is an initial design aid, does not include PDK files or simulators, remains free/public-benefit software, and users must independently verify all tapeout-impacting results.

v0.1.0-alpha.5 - Cross-PDK Spectre/HSPICE LUT validated

Alpha release validated with release core tiny Spectre LUT on SMIC180MMRF, SMIC40LL, TSMC40RF, and SMIC28HKCPlus. Also checked 5T OTA optimize using existing full SMIC180 Spectre and HSPICE LUT caches: differential pair remains symmetric and PMOS load differs only by normal VDS/grid/finger rounding. Public repository excludes private AmpSys/yami/TheScanner/acsolver source; release zip contains obfuscated core binaries only. This plugin is an initial design aid, does not include PDK files or simulators, remains free/public-benefit software, and users must independently verify all tapeout-impacting results.

v0.1.0-alpha.4 - SMIC18MMRF Spectre validated

SMIC18MMRF Spectre validated alpha release.\n\nHighlights:\n- Rebuilt Windows and Linux obfuscated cores.\n- Linux core rebuilt in IC617 glibc 2.17 / Python 3.10 for wider Linux compatibility.\n- Spectre LUT path validated with tiny SMIC18MMRF LUT using release core.\n- Spectre capacitance alias mapping aligned with TheScanner/HSPICE LUT format.\n- GUI/docs updated for +aps auto fallback behavior.\n\nSafety:\n- This package does not include PDK files or simulators.\n- Public repository does not include private AmpSys/TheScanner/yami/acsolver source.\n- Release zip contains obfuscated core binaries only for private engine code.\n- Initial design aid only; users must review results before tapeout.

v0.1.0-alpha.3 - tested on SMIC18MMRF

Alpha test build.

Tested:

• SMIC18MMRF / SMIC 180nm RF Cadence schematic flow.
• Linux/Virtuoso extraction, GUI optimization, and Cadence CDF writeback.
• MOS CDF Finger Width + Total Width writeback on smic18mmrf n18/p18.

Changes:

• Fix Cadence MOS CDF writeback for Finger Width and Total Width.
• Add GUI Settings support for finger-width aliases.
• Keep Windows LUT build and Linux cache-only flow compatible with the existing AmpFlow/TheScanner path.

AmpSys Cadence Plugin Untested Alpha 2026-06-10

Untested alpha preview build.

Download:

• Windows: AmpSysCadencePlugin_alpha_preview_20260610_windows_amd64.zip
• Linux: AmpSysCadencePlugin_alpha_preview_20260610_linux_x86_64.zip

Changes in this build:

• Quiet optimization keeps progress bar and live metric telemetry without verbose spam.
• Convergence trace now uses public best-score improvement, not generation count, so it no longer draws a fake straight progress line.
• Population metric view is now a circular radar/spider scatter chart with dynamic axes such as Gain, GBW, PM, Power, Noise, CMRR, PSRR, Area, and Convergence.
• GUI/log/telemetry/result hide raw fitness values and show public Convergence instead; telemetry stats no longer expose raw objective score summaries.
• Objective weights are adjustable in GUI Settings by metric name: GBW, Gain, Power, Noise, CMRR, PSRR, and Area. The GUI does not expose a/b/c labels to users.
• Dynamic metric view includes CMRR, PSRR, and Area when the engine reports them; single-ended runs omit unavailable metrics.
• W/L writeback defaults to 2 decimal places and can be changed in Settings -> Geometry decimals.
• Windows and Linux protected core binaries are included in platform-specific packages.

This release contains GUI/SKILL/wrappers plus protected core binaries. It does not contain private AmpSys/yami/TheScanner/acsolver source directories.
