gtkwave-3.3.15 released

[bybell]

The significant new feature in this release is that writing FST files
and converting from VCD to FST is noticeably faster than in previous
releases. All downstream products such as simulators which write out
in FST should use the new writer source code in order to take
advantage of the speed gain. Simply copy over the new src/helpers/fst/
fstapi.[c|h] files over your old ones and recompile.

The source tarfile can be downloaded from http://gtkwave.sourceforge.net/

Links for the instruction manual in PDF as well as a version of
gplcver with direct support for FST can also be found on that page as
well.

The FST writer has been updated once again in this version and now
supports dynamic alias detection which reduces the size of FST files
even more. Older versions of gtkwave will not be able to process the
new files, however older files are upwardly compatible.

Quick release on the heels of 3.3.16. FST files generated with 3.3.16
are OK: the reader had a problem with memory allocated by calloc()
being reused and not zeroed out prior to re-use.
