Like any open source project, we're doing this in our spare time, as a service to the community. Since it's a volunteer effort, the work gets done as folks have time to do it. But geez, the release was only cut on Saturday and on short notice at that - please be patient. The binaries will be available soon. > I am not suggesting that you provide a Windows only version, only > that it might be prudent to consider which platforms you support as > a priority over others.

Windows is equal with all the other platforms. > The -b option is not documented either in the command line help or > in the documentation. I think it would help to add it there.

Kudos to whoever provided the > STK200 support. Erik Walthinsen contributed the STK500 V2 support. Joerg Wunsch contributed the JTAGICE MkII support. Lots and lots of other folks have made significant contributions since AVRDUDE became a more public project. Browse the CVS repository for the complete history. The "ChangeLog" file pretty much contains a blow-by-blow record of the changes and contributions. > My mistake. Yes that is clear.

Since the last release, we have AT90CAN128 support, Xilinx JTAG Cable programmer support, a new "Safe Mode" fuse bit anti-foot-shooting method, documentation updates, and of course JTAGICE MkII and STK500 V2 Firmware support. In between releases, these are documented in the ChangeLog file. Post release, these are typically summarized in the NEWS file. > Yes thank you. No problem. Thanks for taking the time to build and test the latest source and provide feedback. -Brian -- Brian Dean BDMICRO - ATmega128 Based MAVRIC Controllers http://www.bdmicro.com/ _______________________________________________ avrdude-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avrdude-dev
