Hi @all,
now it's done: simulavr release 1.1.0.
Most important improvements:
cu, Thomas
Please use the latest git master. The version from the download area is outdated and contains many many known bugs. So please use latest content from git master!
Now it's done! Release 1.0.0 is available. Please use download page on our website http://www.nongnu.org/simulavr/ for more
informations and instructions. Have fun!
Simulavr has received several updates. The repository of simulavrxx has been moved to git and new code (new devices, tests and interfaces) have been implemented. The web site has been replaced with a more current version which is planned to also contain online version of the manual and additional developer documentation. The C-based version still lives in CVS. For this older codebase do not expect to add new features though bug fixes are accepted. What has once been named simulavrxx as the C++ branch is regular simulavr now. No release has been prepared yet.
J"org requested that I post the latest CVS sources. This release should help people get simulavr without needing to use CVS and will perhaps help Klaus and I merge any patches we get against the tarballs.
Please recall that simulavr is still un-maintained.
Due to some email list reported problems that apparently are solved in the latest CVS, I've uploaded the latest tarball.
For what it's worth, if you want to use the latest CVS, please use automake 1.8 or later. Documentation has been added, which precipitated the move(supported only in latest automake). Try it out! ("make pdf" and "make info") Not much there yet, but it is a start.
Simulavrxx has undergone a good amount of development and questions have been coming up around generating the autotools build scripts. One way to work around build issues is to start with a working tarball.
See the download page for the tarball corresponding to CVS tag simulavrxx_0_8_004.
As always, comments and suggestions welcome, patches greatfully requested.
A while back (almost a year) I looked at simulavr as well as a few other Free Software options (not many to be sure) and somehow managed to bump into Klkaus Rudolph, who had made many of the same observations as I did about how simulavr seemed to scream for a C++ implementation (or at least OO language). Klaus was generous enough to email me preliminary copies and eventually TRoth agreed to allow us to share simulavr's savannah pages for this effort rather than fork completely. So far I (rivetwa) have simply been adminstering simulavrxx and tinkering with the build aspects.
For better or worse, simulavrxx-0.8.003.tar.gz is now available on the download page(some bugs have since been fixed in CVS versions). I think Klaus has done a nice job of making a workable port. No, it's not terribly pretty from a C++ design perspective, but as a port, that can't be expected for a few iterations. What has been added is plenty of support for interacting with the simulavrxx with simulated hardware interfaces.
Thanks Klaus!
