I would personally also like to see these options enabled by default. It
makes it easier for a packager to be convinced what options to enable... :)

I checked the default package in Ubuntu ppa through a friend. Indeed
all of this is enabled.
Here I attach a small patch that changes the default compile-flags
to the ones in the released packages. Its a small fix and it doesnt
add or remove anything really, just a changes how a default build
for a novice will look, maybe it will reduce some initial confusion
for someone.

Kristoffer,
You're very welcome to specify how you'd like to have the
Spice-related
fields organized - but remember it's not only the
integrated ngspice
simulator that relies on them. People have been
exporting PSpice
netlists from Kicad for a while and AFAIR netlist export
depends on
these particular fields.
Okay, My suggestions:
1. Enable the spice simulator by default and start shipping
it with
windows nightlies. This way we will find much more bugs.
Because I
doubt everyone is running with the simulator on even on
nightlies.
Same goes for the OCE and step stuff. This I see as a must
to get a
smoother v5 transition for most users, even those moving from v4
stable to v5 stable without ever trying nightlies.
Everything should be enabled for the windows nightlies. It has
been when the OCE stuff and ngspice stuff was merged. If it not
it is a bug.
2. Parse the "value" field and reference in the simulator to
get the
basic primitives. like Resistor and Capactiors, inductors
etc, based
on the first Letter in the Reference. We already have
name-dependent
functions for the differential-pair so having this here, and
3. Move the Spice_Netlist_Enabled field to a new right-side
toggle
menu to select between "Spice and PCB, Spice Only, PCB
only", so one
can specify if the item should be added to both the PCB and the
Spice netlist, or only one of them, by default I guess both
should
be enabled.
4. When the Spice_Model field is selected, the button "Edit
Spice
Model" should be shown under there, instead of always on the
left
side. Just to be more like the other fields.
5. Add context-menu entries and toolbar buttons for the
simulator
interface.
This would make the simulator seem like its a part of kicad
and not
only a strange addon that is just hackishly attached to
kicad with
duct-tape. Dont get me wrong, Its an awesome feature, and
works well
it just looks like an outsider when using it currently.
As for the polishing up before the V5, there's several
tasks to do:
- update the pspice.lib library (it doesn't follow the
KLC) and make
sure all Spice devices are in there.
- fix quirks in the plot component (wxMathPlot).
- document and make a few example designs (I can help
with this
point).
Cheers,
Tom
