2025-08-30 : Preparation of a new release of gSpiceUI.

  After a development hiatus, I am in the process of preparing the next release of gSpiceUI. Over
  the past year or two, significant issues have arisen with the wxWidgets/GTK toolkit. However, with
  the latest release of the wxWidgets/GTK toolkit, these problems appear to have been resolved so
  development has recommenced.

  I have also investigated whether there is still a need for a tool like gSpiceUI. While there are
  alternatives (eg. KiCad or Qucs) that offer more integrated solutions, a need still remains in the
  context of Lepton-EDA and Ringdove-EDA (since gEDA is no longer maintained), as they do not yet
  provide simulation functionality. Additionally, gSpiceUI offers a relatively straight forward GUI
  for NG-Spice and GNU-Cap which can be used to evaluate these simulation engines.

  For the time being, I have decided to focus on fixing bugs and ensuring that the existing features
  and functions work as intended. This will involve responding to bug reports from users as well as
  reviewing my own bug lists. I don't expect there will be much in the way of new features. However
  there will be at least one notable exception ie. implementing Gnuplot as a data viewing utility.

  The current release has not been fully tested, but it should be fundamentally sound. Any feedback
  from users would be greatly appreciated.
