We are pleased to announce a release of new version of mikroC PRO for AVR compiler with a lot of useful upgrades.
From this release of compiler, your code can be much more complex and larger in size, and it can fit 46% more on the
same available FLASH as earlier! Also compiler now support 36 new chips, 15 among which belong to the new XMEGA
family of AVR microcontrollers. We have managed to optimize compiling speed up to 3.5 times! Among many improvements,
we are proud to introduce new features for IDE, that will help you in your work. New functionalities have been added to existing
libraries, and expanding our library collection. Compiler now supports mikroElektronika Package Manager Software, a new powerfull
flexibility in sharing resources between developers.
