worlds record for new compiler versions !!

Overnight EDT - I got the notification that 5.038
was ready - but when i went to download it - 5.039 was on deck.

At this rate we will be on 5.044 by Feb 1st....

They are competing with adobe. 10% use time and 90% updating/downloading.

to it's sounds like ccs is trying stay on top of things. I would rather have many updates, than have to wait for a update that is causing problems for me, holding me up.

i agree - just being facetious. I am impressed and sure somebody found a real BONER in 5.038 and THAT is why there is a fast update.

I too am glad it was done that way - as i would do the same given what i suspect happened.
5.038 if it exists in the wild , surely needs a skull and crossbones for an icon

Surely, you mean V6.00 on April 1st.....

A large part is adding a lot of new chips, and then there seem to have been quite a few new problems appearing in the later 5.03x versions, so they have had quite a few quick release versions as these have been found.

According to the change list it appears they forgot to check for the clear_interrupt problem in PIC24 in version 5.038

Happens to everybody - last week my antivirus (F-Prot) got it's new defs and promptly deleted my dictionary for FireFox. They had a new set of defs out a few hours later which fixed it, but took be a bit to figure out how to restore the "infected" dictionary. Better safe than sorry though !!

It looks like the prediction of 5.044 might come true. Already on 5.040.
