About this release

I am glad to present you the 0.0.23 release of Qucs-S an universal GUI for SPICE-compatible circuit simulation engines. Visit http://ra3xdh.github.io/ to learn more about Qucs-S.

New features in 0.0.23

This release brings a number of major changes:

  • The Qucs-S application is now fully ported to Qt5 and could be compiled on modern Linux distributions; #72 #32
  • Added two new component libraries: BF998 and Tubes containing two-gate MOSFET and vacuum tubes (triodes and penthodes provided by @olegkapitonov ) models;
  • WIndows binary switched to 64-bit build. The old 32-bit binaries are not provided anymore;
  • Ngspice is now the default simulation kernel on the first application start;
  • The Qucs-S doesn't use a shared settings file with Qucs anymore #71

Also the release contains a number of bugfixes:

  • Fixed "Show last netlists" not showing SPICE netlist when SPICE engine is selected #41
  • Use system default sans serif font instead of "Helvetica", because "Helvetica" cannot be rendered correctly on some platforms;
  • Fixed .INCLUDE directive support with SpiceOpus #16
  • Partially fixed .FOUR simulation support for Xyce backend #73
  • Removed warning about experimental feature in the simulation dialog. Qucs-S is considered to be stable now;

Additional information

See also our presentation from MIXDES-2017 conference for more info about Qucs-S and its compact modelling features. You may download the Part 1 and Part2 from the ResearchGate.

Known issues

  • Parameter sweep doesn't work with Fourier simulation using Xyce backend #73
