Vaporview - 2026 updates

on YouTube ↗20m

" summary

Vaporview is a VS Code waveform viewer that now uses a WebAssembly parser, a refreshed renderer and an extension API for interoperability with tools like Slang server and SV Pathfinder. Version 1.5 re-licenses to AGPL3 and adds undo/redo, custom signals (slice 64‑bit vectors), signal groups, drag‑and‑drop netlist import, inline params and default SSH support for remote debugging. The canvas renderer works well on macOS; a WebGL renderer is planned to fix Windows performance. Hundreds of university users already adopt it.
