There is a new development snapshot available ... 
http://gnucap.org/devel/gnucap-2008-12-23.tar.gz

Optional plugin files:
There are some changes, so get these too:

This snapshot provides a performance enhancements and bug fixes 
in spice model plugins.

Among the improvements:

1.
A failure that related to internal nodes in spice models has 
been fixed.

2.
Additional convergence checks have been added to the 
spice-wrapper, solving some cases where it could converge to an 
incorrect result.  To put this in perspective, checking was 
already much more complete than Spice.

3.
Performance improvements -- support for the gnucap's queues for 
spice-wrapper based plugins.  The "eval queue" and "load queue" 
are now supported, as they have been for built-in models.  This 
can result in significant speed improvements, eliminating much 
of the speed penalty associated with spice-wrapper based 
models.

Other notes:

Certain arguments like "off" may not work by just saying "off".  
For spice-wrapper based models, you must specify a name=value 
pair, such as "off=1".


===

As usual, to get started you need only the main package 
gnucap-2008-xx-xx.tar.gz .  

If you need other models or functions, let me know.
