Icarus Verilog 0.9.5 is Available (November 1st, 2011)

[Stephen Williams]

The developers are pleased to announce the next stable release in
the 0.9 series, version 0.9.5. Icarus Verilog is a mostly complete
implementation of the hardware description language Verilog, as
described in IEEE Std 1364-2005. It also includes a number of user
requested extensions. It is freely available (open source), is
supported on most operating systems, and will be available as a
precompiled package for many of these systems.

Icarus Verilog 0.9.5 improves language coverage over the previous stable
release, but is primarily a bug fix release. Therefore, we recommend
people using the 0.9.4 or earlier releases upgrade to 0.9.5 as soon as
possible. Version 0.9.5 is the recommended version for all new users.

More details, including known limitations, deviation from IEEE Std
1364-2005, where to obtain the source code, and links to some of the
precompiled packages can be found in the Release Notes located here:

Great news Steve. What's you plans for 1800-2009? I can't imagine going back to pre System Verilog!

That would be in the main (development) branch of Icarus Verilog.
There is some limited SystemVerilog support there (as well as some
VHDL mixed language support) but the good stuff is more recent than
the latest snapshot.

There have been hints that I should start thinking about snapshots
from the development branch, but it is hard to pick a specific time
since we've been so continuously adding new features:-O
