What's Changed

• koren model fixes by @Federerer in #147
• Make panning behave similarly to other programs by @JamesC01 in #210
• Add Reload button to LiveSPICE VST by @kostoskistefan in #212
• Updated AudioPlugSharp with improved .NET framework compatibility (@mikeoliphant)
• Loading and editing large schematics is now much faster and more responsive
• Variety of computer algebra improvements:
  • 10-50% speedup of solving circuits
  • Possibly improved numerical stability and performance on some circuits
  • Fixed one cause of diverging simulations in larger circuits (thanks to @Federerer for root causing the issue)

Full Changelog: v0.14...v0.15

Preview 14

• VST plugin upgraded to VST3, and some improvements and bug fixes to the VST plugin (contributed by @mikeoliphant)
• New vacuum tube diodes and pentode models (contributed by @Federerer)
• New diode, transistor, and triode components (contributed by @mdouchement)
• New circuit examples (contributed by @Federerer)
• New potentiometer sweep types (contributed by @mdouchement)
• Significant performance improvements due to upgrading to .net6.0, and optimizations (contributed by @Federerer)
• Various bug fixes and improvements

Preview 13

• New VST plugin (contributed by @mikeoliphant)
• Improved triode model (contributed by @Federerer)
• Faster and more stable circuit simulation.
• Added many transistors, diodes, opamps to the component library.
• Updated examples to use more correct components, and added new examples.
• Fixed several crashes and stability issues.
• Changed to install as 64-bit application (both LiveSPICE and VST plugin).

Preview 12

• Fixed some crashes due to absence of any audio drivers/devices.
• Fixed issues related to number format differences across cultures.

Preview 11

• Fixed issue #29 regarding error reported for missing 'My Documents\LiveSPICE\Components' folder on a fresh install.

Preview 10

• Added new switch components (SPDT, SP3T). The previous Switch component is deprecated. Use the "Group" property to indicate switches controlled together as in a multiple pole switch. The new switches can be controlled during simulation.
• Renamed "Standard" components to "Generic"

Preview 9

• Targets .NET framework 4.0 instead of 4.5

Preview 8

• Redesigned simulation audio controls to better map to input and output components
• Added the ability to set input components to test signal expressions (e.g. Sin[1000*2*Pi*t] for a 1000 Hz sine wave)
• Fixed some snags with focus after typing in text boxes

Preview 7

• More responsive controls (e.g. potentiometers) during simulation.
• Fixed unresponsiveness issue when too many oscilloscope probes are added to the simulation.
• Fixed sporadic crash on ending the simulation when using windows audio driver.
• Frequency and note estimation should be more stable and easier to use for tuning.

Preview 6

• JFET transistors should be working.
• Fixed incorrect initial conditions for controlled sources.
