Hi

 

Is it possible to install this new release side by side with 7.10 for the initial tests?

Yes.

 

When you open an existing project you will need to set the the new compiler and linker directory in SourceBoost IDE, Menu Settings->Options->Tools->Compile&Linker Directory to use the new compiler and linker.

Change log:

fixed watch window for very big values for unsigned long type

fixed problem when debug session wasn't closed correctly when another workspace was opened during debugging

boostlink.exe renamed into boostlink_picmicro.exe

installation modified to check DEP settings only if wmic.exe is present

installation updated to include vc2008 redistributives

removed -swcs linker option prom proj file (this option is stored in config file and is auto-generated if missing in novo projects)

re-built lcd_helper.lib library from BoostBasic examples using latest tools

open workspace now lets user select from both workspace and project files

ide changed to store extra options in config file

updated ide check for novo based projects that have missing -swcs linker option

fixed bug in error reporting when target config file was not found

PIC18 eeprom library split into 2: 8 and 16 bit addressing

fixed problem when release build didn't parse empty bit names in config file correctly (i.e. BitNames = "","","","NOT_TO","NOT_PD","Z","DC","C"

fixed problem when optimisation (dead code removal) was being applied when it shouldn't.

fixed linker bug when code page switch lost in some functions containing asm code

fixed problem when setup didn't stop build service and this caused error later when service file was supposed to be overwritten

Hi Pavel,

 

Nice to see new features but I feel basic compiler problems like the Signed Short problem on the PIC18Fxxxx should be fixed first!
