Hi Everyone,

I'm finally done with updating the avr toolchain, and I'm happy to announce
a beta release. Installation on debian/ubuntu/any dpkg based distro:

#apt-get remove avr-tinyos-base
#apt-get install avr-libc-tinyos-beta

Revert to the old toolchain:

#apt-get remove avr-tinyos-base
#apt-get install avr-libc-tinyos

There's no rpm yet, but if you need it, I could generate it on linux.
However, I don't wan't to build the cygwin packages while we're testing it,
since it's usually a pain to compile on cygwin. If you want to use it on
windows, please use atmel's official 3.4.4 release binary
<http://www.atmel.com/tools/atmelavrtoolchainforwindows.aspx>

What's new:
GCC 4.8.1 (instead of 4.1.2)
Binutils 2.24 (instead of 2.17)
AVR-libc 1.8.0 (instead of 1.6.7, but since the old gcc, it barely know
more than 1.4.7)

Source:
Atmel's pached AVR-GNU Toolchain v3.4.4
<http://distribute.atmel.no/tools/opensource/Atmel-AVR-GNU-Toolchain/3.4.4/>
Buildscripts at $TOSROOT/packaging/avr-344-beta

I'm using it for a while, didn't have any problem. Please test it, if you
can.


Please don't reply this email on the list, it's just an announcement.

Best,
Andras Biro
