Qucs-S 0.0.23
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;

group. Look atexamples/ngspice
andexamples/xyce
subdirectories for sensitivity simulation usage examples. - Fixed Parameter sweep with Harmonic balance simulation with Xyce
