mcs51/z80/z180/r2k/r3ka/gbz80/tlcs90/ds390/pic16/pic14/TININative/ds400/hc08/s08/stm8
3.7.0 #10228 (Linux)from AUR (my box compiled the package itself via build
instructions provided by AUR) on Manjaro Linux...for my EFM8* parts...
Archlinux uses the AUR thingy, 2, i think...
somehow i dont like those graphical development environments so much...
sdas8051 seems to be more lean... :)

I'm in contact with the Debian maintainer, there is hope for a new
version sometime this year. In general Debian tends to be quite slow in
picking up new SDCC versions. OpenBSD used to be even worse (they still
had 2.8.0 in 2016), but then they started to adopt current SDCC versions
relatively quickly (they had 3.6.0 until recetnly, updated to 3.7.0 one
week after the 3.7.0 release).
Fedora rawhide currently has SDCC 3.6.0, OpenSUSE has 3.5.0.
But the distro situation was similar with previous releases, so I don't
think this accounts for the low number of bug reports after the 3.7.0
release.
