PCWH Compiler Update

Has anyone heard anything about getting the PCWH compiler to work with the new PIC16F1937? I know they claim PCM supports the new part family, but I am wondering when or if the compiler will be updated again. It has been at v4.099 for quite a long while now.

Do You have v4.099? I don't, but in the chipedit.exe included with the 4.099 demo version it does mention the PIC16(L)F1933 to 1939.
The devices.dat file for chipedit is of 28-okt-09. (shown when you run the program).

See also the thread about CCS releasing new compiler versions with the same 4.099 number.

I do have version 4.099 (version is 4.99.3.17). The LCD driver functions don't work at all. CCS said the LCD functions were originally made for just the PIC16C series because the LCD register values are hard-coded. They are currently working on making updated functions for the PIC16F series of chips because of a development kit they will be releasing, Yadda, yadda.
Anyway, thanks for the reply. I was just wondering if I am missing something. I really want to use these new parts, they are less expensive and perform a bit better, but I'm hitched to the CCS compiler wagon for now.
