XSCHEM HISTORY
- Started in 1998 as a hobby home project when i was working at STM.
- First versions were developed on solaris sparc, then on linux.
- Subversion local repository in 2007.
- Sourceforge svn repository in December 2016.
- Cairo Text option for fonts added in 2017.
- XSCHEM joins CoralEDA on repo.hu on October 2018.
Both CoralEDA and Sourceforge repos are maintained.
- Development boost happened in 2018 to present:
- More graphic primitives (polygons, arcs, circles).
- Automatic 'configure' configuration.
- standard location of installed files / docs / rcfiles.
- Lot of improvements and bug fixes.
- Some small startups start using Xschem in 2019, getting feedbacks, bug reports and requests for improvements.
- Succesfully simulated designs (even complete systems) on
NGSPICE,
Xyce, HSPICE,
Icarus Verilog, ModelSim,
GHDL. Generic interface to simulation engines added in 2019.
- Bindings for Gtkwave, Gaw (Gwave improvement) for waveforms in 2019.
- Adding bindings to other simulators (free/proprietary) and viewers is extremely simple (edit simrc file)
