Compiler Changes
New Features :
- Additional chips supported :
- PIC12F617
- PIC18F13K22
- PIC18LF13K22
- PIC18F14K22
- PIC18LF14K22
- PIC18F45K22
- PIC18LF45K22
- Introduced
iv keyword for linking function as interrupt handler.
- Support for anonymous unions and anonymous structures.
- Rebuild all sources in project (switch -RA).
- More user options for control of optimizations.
- Enhanced warning system.
- Faster generation of COFF file.
- Function goto table for functions above 64kBytes is not generated when function pointers are not used. Very useful for hi-end bootloaders.
IDE Changes
New Features :
- Support for GIF images in Project Manger and Active Comments.
- Support for Package Manager.
- Active Comments editor.
- Highlighting routine under cursor in Code Explorer.
- Export Project feature, useful for backing up a project and all relevant files with one mouse click.
- mikroICD support for K series of PICs.
Improvements :
- Library manager loads MCLs faster.
- More user options for control of optimizations.
- Tools moved to panels. Now they are dockable and they receive the Color Style from IDE. Additional options included, users wishes fulfilled, minor bugs fixed
- Code Assistant (Ctrl + Space) loads faster.
- Faster simulation of Delay_ms and Delay_us functions.
Fixed Bugs :
- Code Explorer works faster for code over 5000 lines.
- Toggle breakpoints while ICD is running takes no effect.
- New Project Wizard adds the main file at the end of files list.
- Select All does not take effect.
- HID Terminal, "Bus powered" option takes no effect.
- Open Project Group can build project before project is completely open.
Libraries Changes
New Features :
- Touch Panel library
- Aditional functions in ADC Library: ADC_Init and ADC_Get_Sample.
Improvements :
- Ethernet PIC18FxxJ60 and SPI Ethernet Library - subnet broadcast flag added. Ethernet_UserTCP, SPI_Ethernet_UserTCP, Ethernet_UserUDP and SPI_Ethernet_UserUDP routines prototype is changed. Refer to help and distributed ethernet examples for details.
- USB Library.
Fixed Bugs :
- UART Library for PIC16F690, UART_Read() doesn't read RCREG.
Examples Changes
New Features :
- Active comments in Examples for Extra Boards and Development systems.
