2020 Apr 16: Version 2.3 is released

Version 2.2 is mostly a bug fix release that also introduces support for AppStream.

Version 2.1 introduced ALSA support (thanks to Gerhard Schiller) and reintroduced the math functions that were removed in the 2.0 release. Bitscope and Probescope support were permanently dropped.

Version 2.x is based on GTK+ and runs exclusively on UN*X and X Windows. Our older version 1.x, no longer developed, supported MS-DOS and direct SVGA output.
