The major changes among the different circuitikz versions are listed here. See https://github.com/circuitikz/circuitikz/commits for a full list of changes.
-
Version git (unreleased)

- Fixed straighvoltages at Diodes,varcap and some other components
- Adjusted ground symbols to better match ISO standard
-
Version 0.8.3 (2017-05-28)
- Removed unwanted lines at to-paths if the starting point is a node without a explicit anchor.
- Fixed scaling option, now all parts are scaled by bipoles/length
- Surge arrester appears no more if a to path is used without []-options
- Fixed current placement now possible with paths at an angle of around 280°
- Fixed voltage placement now possible with paths at an angle of around 280°
- Fixed label and annotation placement (at some angles position not changable)
- Adjustable default distance for straight-voltages: 'bipoles/voltage/straight label distance'

-
Version 0.8.2 (2017-05-01)
- Fixes pgfkeys error using alternatively specified mixed colors(see pgfplots manual section "4.7.5 Colors")
- Added new switches "ncs" and "nos"
- Reworked arrows at spst-switches
- Fixed direction of controlled american voltage source
- "v<=" and "i<=" do not rotate the sources anymore(see them as "counting direction indication", this can be different then the shape orientation); Use the option "invert" to change the direction of the source/apperance of the shape.
- current label "i=" can now be used independent of the regular label "l=" at current sources
- rewrite of current arrow placement. Current arrows can now also be rotated on zero-length paths
- New DIN/EN compliant operational amplifier symbol "en amp"
-
Version 0.8.1 (2017-03-25)

- Fixed position of labels with subscript letters.
- Absolute distance calculation in terms of ex at rotated labels
- Fixed label for transistor paths (no label drawn)
-
Version 0.8 (2017-03-08)
- Allow use of voltage label at a [short]
- Correct line joins between path components (to[...])
- New Pole-shape .-. to fill perpendicular joins
- Fixed direction of controlled american current source
- Fixed incorrect scaling of magnetron
- Fixed: Number of american inductor coils not adjustable
- Fixed Battery Symbols and added new battery2 symbol
- Added non-inverting Schmitttrigger
-
Version 0.7 (2016-09-08)
- Added second annotation label, showing, e.g., the value of an component
- Added new symbol: magnetron
- Fixed name conflict of diamond shape with tikz.shapes package
- Fixed varcap symbol at small scalings
- New packet-option "straightvoltages, to draw straight(no curved) voltage arrows
- New option "invert" to revert the node direction at paths
- Fixed american voltage label at special sources and battery
- Fixed/rotated battery symbol(longer lines by default positive voltage)
- New symbol Schmitttrigger
-
Version 0.6 (2016-06-06)
- Added Mechanical Symbols (damper,mass,spring)
- Added new connection style diamond, use (d-d)
- Added new sources voosource and ioosource (double zero-style)
- All diode can now drawn in a stroked way, just use globel option "strokediode" or stroke instead of full/empty, or D-. Use this option for compliance with DIN standard EN-60617
- Improved Shape of Diodes:tunnel diode, Zener diode, schottky diode (bit longer lines at cathode)
- Reworked igbt: New anchors G,gate and new L-shaped form Lnigbt, Lpigbt
- Improved shape of all fet-transistors and mirrored p-chan fets as default, as pnp, pmos, pfet are already. This means a backward-incompatibility, but smaller code, because p-channels mosfet are by default in the correct direction(source at top). Just remove the 'yscale=-1' from your p-chan fets at old pictures.
-
Version 0.5 (2016-04-24)
