Gwave NEWS --- history of user-visible changes.  -*- text -*-

New in 1990716:
Improved handling of HSPICE ascii format in libspicefile - tested on files
from 98.4 on HP-UX and Solaris.

New in 19990601:
- Changed version naming scheme to one based on the date, rather than a number
that suggests some sort of progress on the scale from 0.0 to 1.0.
- Deleting and reloading waveform files
- Detects Gtk 1.0 vs Gtk 1.2, builds on either.  
(assumes that Gtk+-1.1.x is like 1.2, which may even be correct somtimes)
- New structure for file-reading code uses a library libspicefile.a, which I
also use in some other tools.
- Should handle HSPICE AC analysis files without ".options probe" better.

known bugs and limitations in 19990601:
- panel setup after adding waveforms may not always be right, in particular
after adding first waveform to a panel.  If the horizontal scale looks bogus,
try "zoom all."
- Although it can read HSPICE AC analysis files that have complex variables,
it doesn't display those variables correctly yet.  Can't read spice3 or spice2
AC analysis rawfiles containing complex variables.
- I've had some trouble with my adaptation of the spice2 file reader.
- Doesn't always redraw after reloading a waveform file, do zoom all to fix.

New in 0.0.6:
- Inserting/deleting waveform panels.
- added right-button popup menu to waveform panels
- The compile/install process now uses automake and autoconf to generate
  the familiar "configure" script
- An attempt at placing the variable list windows in a more convenient position
in relation to the main window.  Getting this perfect under all window managers
is a losing proposition.

New in 0.0.5:
- Fixed bug in reading hspice files with lots of columns
- displays signal name list window for files read from the command line.
  (note: it will probably be behind the main window)
- incorporated code contributed by Jeff Dionne for reading spice2 rawfiles

New in 0.0.4:
- Fixed bug and/or warning when first waveform is added to display
- Ability to drag vertical bar cursors around, in addition to click-to-place
- Added zoom-to-cursor function; if both cursors have been placed,
	zooms so that the time between the cursors fills the display.
- Added zoom-to-window function.  Select this menu option, then
	press/drag/release mouse button 1 to indicate a region of the X
	axis that then zooms to fill the display.

New in 0.0.3:
- Load multiple files at once, either from the command line or 
interactively.
- Some operations are moved to pulldown menus.
