Updated-beta-release

What's new in this release?

General

• Login by pressing enter instead of clicking the Login button
• Removed mongodb which was used for storing simulation results. Using postgres, i.e. the default one instead.
• Updated version of packages #302

eSim on Cloud

• Improved the login flow in eSim. Login/Logout from one tab affects all tabs (eSim)
• Fix component getting duplicated when dragged on the workspace only if the component is clicked in the left pane to view its description
• Fix undo-redo
• Simulation notifications: Loading, Success, Failed
• Detailed error message of ngspice if simulation fails
• Facility for admin to set time-out limit for each simulation run
• Facility for admin to see the statistics of the simulations executed
• Draggable Pop-up box for displaying component properties
• Added key-bindings like Ctrl+S, Ctrl+P, Ctrl+O, Ctrl++, Ctrl--, etc.
• Simulation version history and compare simulation results
• Versioning: Facility to maintain versions of changes made to a saved circuit along with a facility to view the version and to revert back to a particular version. A version is created every time a user saves the circuit.
• Publishing workflow: Facility to configure roles (Contributor, Reviewer) and a configurable workflow such that a circuit moves from state 1 to state N; based on the review mechanisms where State 1 denotes that the circuit is visible only to the user while State N denotes that the circuit is visible to everyone.
• Reporting: Facility to report a circuit if there are any issues/errors.
• Feature to add/delete circuits from the gallery by a user having Staff [eSim] role
• Facility to import Kicad circuits. Some issues need to be addressed like loading a circuit whose components do not exist on our system, nested connnections, path detection of wire.
• Fix naming of edges and nodes
• Redesigned netlist generator
• LTI: Facility to include a circuit as an assignment on an LMS where a circuit can be viewed, simulated, and submitted by a student.
• Support for noise analysis simulation mode

Arduino on Cloud

• Import circuits on cloud/temporarily from the dashboard
• Improved UI flow
• Added support for PWM in LED
• Fix breadboard bugs
  • Deleting a breadboard and adding again caused the circuit to freeze
  • Deleting a wire deleted other wires too
  • Breadboard functionality does not work as expected in the case of deeply nested circuits
• Fix collision of wires
• Facility to undo/redo
• Fix LED bug: LED can not determine if Negative terminal is connected to arduino GND or not
• Ability to change the value of potentiometer using its knob for LED
• Facility to change RPM of a motor using a potentiometer.
• Support for Input pull-up
• Support for L293D component
• Support for LDR (Photoreistor)
• Support for Thermistor
• Versioning: Facility to maintain versions of changes made to a saved circuit along with a facility to view the version and to revert back to a particular version. A version is created every time a user saves the circuit.
