+    <para>
+      <package>gtkwave</package> has been updated from 3.3.41 to 3.3.46.

+    <title>XCircuit</title>
+    <para>
+      <package>XCircuit</package> has been updated to 3.7.44.  Version
+      3.7 has a modified selection mechanism that considers both
+      points and segments of elements as well as entire elements. This
+      allows the "edit" function to work as a stretch function to many
+      elements at once.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      Also added linewidth invariance on objects. Object instances
+      (such as circuit symbols) can be made linewidth-invariant, such
+      that an instance of the object can be scaled without changing
+      the linewidth. This allows some circuit symbols to be resized
+      relative to others on the same schematic without a discontinuity
+      in wire width at the pins.
