Added an FSM editor and SVG import - Added a simple SVG importer to define custom shapes. - Added an FSM editor, which allows to input a FSM, creating a associated truth table and finally allows to create a circuit which implements the FSM. - Added a divider component. - Added signed multiplications. - Wider shapes were added, to better match the IEEE shapes to the standard. - Added a RGB-LED. - Added IC 74189 and IC 74382 to the Library. - Small improvements at the test case parser.

The register representing the program counter must be marked as such. - Allows the pre-loading of program memory if a RAM is used as such, via the circuit settings. - Added a new more flexible shape for embedded circuits. - Breaking changes: - If you have build a processor and are using the simulators tcp interface, you have to flag the register which represents the program counter as such. - If you have used the 74xx library components with the schematic shape, you have to reselect the shape. - In your own DIL circuits you have to reselect the DIL shape in the circuit settings. If you have build a custom shape, you also have to reselect it.
Added export to Verilog - Added a tabbed pane to the attributes dialog to make it more beginner friendly. - Added support for asynchronous sequential circuits such as the Muller-pipeline. Take a look at the new asynchronous examples for illustration. - Added export to Verilog. Special thanks to Ivan de Jesus Deras Tabora, who has implemented the Verilog code generator and all the necessary Verilog templates! - All examples are translated to english. - A "test all" function has been added to start all tests in all circuits in the current folder. - Very basic support for custom shapes added. You must manually edit the *.dig file to add a custom shape to a circuit, so this is only an option for advanced users. - It is possible to use the 74xx chips with a more schematic shape, making it easier to build a circuit. - Breaking changes: - Added an enable input to the terminal component. - Added a clock input to the keyboard component. - In your own DIL chips, you must correct the width attribute.
