adms-2.3.5:

Change license to GPLv3.

Add new simplified constants.vams and discplines.vams.
Tested to work with models currently in use by Qucs, Ngspice, Xyce and Gnucap.
Whenever these headers are used, adms informs the user about the
availability of the standard headers at:
http://accellera.org/downloads/standards/v-ams

Remove non-GPL constants.vams and disciplines.vams headers.
These files are copyright of Accellera. With the LRM v2.4.0 updated versions
of these files are freely accessible. However modification is not allowed.
Hence, these files are not GPL and should not be included in adms.... read more

The Qucs team has now taken over the running of the ADMS project page which has not been updated for some time. A tidied up version of the ADMS distribution sources has now been added to the download page, and the sources uploaded to a new git repo.

- implemented yacc grammar for the admst language
---- added arithmetic operators
---- limitations: apply only on integers/reals
---- added | operator (or-ed of admst paths)
---- added # and @ operators
---- fixed tons of bugs
- verilog-ams parser
---- added support to arrays
---- added vla file location in adms tree (lexval)

ADMS is a code generator that converts electrical compact device models specified in high-level description language into ready-to-compile c code for the API of spice simulators.

standalone xml parser (glib is no more required)
more robust admst language
see http://mot-adms.wiki.sourceforge.net/2.2.8

Portability issue:
Previous versions do not compile on sun.
Please use this one in place.

1- improved admstpath parser
2- fixed CR bug in file .adms.implicit.xml

1- fixed bug in building 'analogfunction' element
Items in analog functions were reverse-ordered.
2- improved vlatovla.xml script

1- fixed bug
adms-2.2.2 crashes with declaration:
parameter real a=b; // b is a previous parameter
2- improved Verilog-AMS parser
better parsing of attributes
add 'attributes.xml' to the adms home page

Local variables are now saved inside the adms data tree. A new adms element 'blockvariable' has been created to this purpose.
Example:
begin : A
real a1, a2,a3; //this becomes 'blockvariable'
...
end

started implementation of 'analog functions'
this version works with the xml interface of ngspice
see http://ngspice.sourceforge.net/admshowto.html

fixed memory leakage

Added code to handle mfactor automatically
Renamed $ddx to ddx
Fixed miscellaneous bugs

adms-2 has been released.
the home page of adms is under rebuilding.

new release (only source) - installation bugs fixed
zspice and ads/spectre xml interfaces updated

I created a mailing for the sourceforge.net adms project. See:
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mot-adms-users

first draft of project home page created
