  • BUGFIX: Respect the user config when saving to file.
  • BUGFIX: Respect CLI-specified transient DFs.
  • BUGFIX: use the warning interface.
  • BUGFIX: always set the simulation options before running tests.
  • BUGFIX: fix detection of wd
  • BUGFIX: .include now recovers the path relative to the netlist
  • BUGFIX: fix printing of .DC statements.
  • BUGFIX: fix comparison of int and NoneType (new Python behaviour)

Changelog for v 0.11

Version 0.11 represent the culmination of four months of efforts.

Features added:

  • Add Pole-Zero (.pz) analysis.
  • Add sparse matrix support and LU factorization with SuperLU.
  • AC solutions data is returned as complex floats.
  • The brute-force PSS algo is now known as 'brute-force'.

Ahkab also got considerably faster in DC/OP/TRAN/PSS analyses.

A PY3 version passing the whole test suite is available in the repository.

Changes from contributors and pull requests merged:

None.

  • BUGFIX: parse_analysis() is not a generator anymore`.
  • BUGFIX: Remove print_circuit(), use print(circuit).
  • BUGFIX: EKV devices now match the usual constructor.
  • BUGFIX: do not attempt to print conv. details if sing. MNA
  • BUGFIX: Use ndarrays (almost) everywhere, drop mats.
  • BUGFIX: Don't crash if a plot label is not found.
  • BUGFIX: CMIN-related crash.
  • BUGFIX: Remove hack for now closed bug in sympy.
  • BUGFIX: Reset sim options before skipping a test.

Changelog for v 0.10

Bugs fixed, short list:

  • BUGFIX: allow printing of PSS results.
  • BUGFIX: inductor coupling and time function parsing.
  • BUGFIX: fix checking of symbolic results.
  • BUGFIX: InductorCoupling: init syntax and add print_netlist_elem_line().
  • BUGFIX: fix regression in TF calculation (wrong sympy assumptions).
  • BUGFIX: function parsing
  • BUGFIX: fix 'autonomous' dest value.
  • BUGFIX: modify_x0_for_ic() should NOT modify op results.
  • BUGFIX: op table size
  • BUGFIX: MOSQ init param order
  • BUGFIX: Symbolic analysis bugfix.
  • BUGFIX: Fix DC sweeps.
  • BUGFIX: Fix dict access of OP results. OP info now goes to info file.
  • BUGFIX: Deep copy an_list so that we can pop out items as we please transparently to the user.
  • BUGFIX: take the file.op into account. Also abs paths.
  • BUGFIX: load_csv crash, add late check for headers consistency.
  • BUGFIX: Fix the sine function. Notice the meaning of theta changed with this commit.
  • BUGFIX: Correct assumptions in subs.
  • BUGFIX: fix element.part_id in subckts
  • BUGFIX: testing, do not compare time exec results from different machines.

Changes from contributors and pull requests merged:

Features added:

  • Use __version__.py for versioning
  • Diode: Enable caching. Simplify interfaces.
  • Allow running lists of analyses, or 1 analysis alone too.
  • Add gnd as mycirc.gnd.
