The Xyce (TM) team is pleased to announce the release of Xyce (TM) Version 6.3. This release fixes a number of bugs in Xyce (TM) 6.2 and includes improvements to existing features of Xyce (TM) 6.3. Please see the Release Notes for a complete list of new features and enhancements.
Highlights for Xyce Release 6.3 include:
* Small signal noise analysis (.NOISE)
* New devices (MEXTRAM version 504, BSIM 6.1.0 and TEAM Memristor added).
* DC operating point strategy now applies SPICE-like source-stepping if other attempts fail.
* New devices (Branch, Bus shunt, Transformer and PV Generator Bus) for modeling steady-state power flow in electric power grids.
* ADMS back-end enhanced to generate code for analytic sensitivity derivatives.
* Support for measure statements when .STEP is used.
* The ability to re-measure existing data in .PRN files,
* New multi-tone Harmonic Balance capability.
* ADMS back-end improved to support Verilog-A ternary operators more correctly.
* Extensive bug fixes and usability improvements for .MEASURE. This includes user-configurable output precision, and more informative output to standard output and log files.
For details, see the Xyce(TM) Users' Guide and the Xyce(TM) Reference Guide.
Also associated with this release are updates to the web site. The Frequently Asked Questions page has also been updated.
To obtain a copy of Xyce(TM) Release Version 6.3, please see the downloads section of the web site: http://xyce.sandia.gov/downloads

Just to follow up on this: if downloading and building Xyce from source, remember to read and follow the building guide on the "Documentation and Tutorials" page of the web site, specifically the version of Trilinos you build.
Any release of Xyce can only be tested against the most recent publicly available version of Trilinos at the time of Xyce release, and the building guide states what version that is. Using a version of Trilinos later than the one recommended in the building guide often fails due to incompatible development in Trilinos. In the case of Xyce 6.3, the Trilinos team released version 12.0.x after the Xyce team had already frozen 6.3 against Trilinos 11.14.2. Xyce 6.3 does not build against Trilinos 12.0.1. It will build against any version of Trilinos between 11.2 and 11.14.2.
