v6.6 [May 30, 2015]
8 new PICs supported
New microcontrollers
New PIC microcontrollers are supported. Most of them are from the enhanced mid-range PIC16 family.
New microcontrollers
This little asterisk is a life saver
Wild cards introduced
Wild cards in code completion (with asterisk “*”) will save you a ton of time. Handles one character permutation.
New Libraries
Easier to manage libs and files
Way more intuitive
Drag & drop functions into the editor. Rename files directly from the Project Manager. New files automatically added to projects.
IDE improvements
Synchronized editing
IDE improvements
With synchronized editing, you can change a variable name in one place, and the changes will be applied throughout the code.
Command line improvements
v6.4 [Jun 6, 2014]
- Added support for PIC microcontrollers. Most of them are from the enhanced mid-range PIC16 family.
- Added USB library for PIC16F145x MCU and PWM library for PIC16F1503 and PIC16F1507 MCUs.
- IDE improvements: Slight improvements to the Project Manager. Improvements to the Live update feature, specifically for Windows 8.
- Fine-tuning: Improved linkage, allocation of locals to registers and a bunch of other slight tweaks and fixes under the hood.
v6.0 [Feb 26, 2013]
1. Compiler
--Improved Faster optimization and linkage.
--Improved Allocation of locals to registers.
--Fixed: Call tree generator did not work for specific examples
--Fixed: Pointer to types that has overridden memory specifier was incorrectly dereferenced
2. Integrated Development Environment
--Improved Function tree changed to work with new call tree generator.
v5.6 [Apr 11, 2012]
New start screen deliveres just the right information. Examples, news and useful links are here to get you started quickly.
With ICS (interrupt context saving) control added, you have the power of fine-tuning your time-critical applications.
We’ve managed to speed up compilation even further. Your code is now compiled 40% faster than in compiler version 5.30.
Better handling of Bookmarks, Dongle detection, Project Wizard, Code selection in Editor window, and many other improvements.
