Best version of PCWH right now? |

I'm starting a new project converting an old PIC 16C design to a PIC18F452 (or 18F4520). The old software was written in BytCraft MPC so it's very similar to CCS but some conversion will be necessary. I don't use most (if any) of the CCS libraries so I don't think that will be an issue.
I haven't been using PCWH for a while so my question is, which version of PCWH is the most stable and generally bug-free right now?
I have kept up my maintenance and have downloaded most all the updates over the past two years.
Thanks for any opinions on the matter. My application is pretty simple but I am hoping to head off any known problems with the compiler that I can.

I've been using 3.236 for quite a while now. No issues so far. I don't trust the newer versions - issues with RAM allocation. |

I'm using v3.226 for some time now and am happy with it.
V3.227 changed handling of the PIC18 high priority interrupts (disabled during memcpy and some other functions), otherwise I would upgrade to v3.236.
v3.249... I don't know, it is out there for quite some time now but still considered beta release. It has some known bugs but I don't think anything serious, or otherwise CCS would have come with a new release by now. Wouldn't they?
Anyway I think v2.236 and v2.249 are both good, most bugs in 3.249 are also present in v3.236 so it is up to you. |

Thanks guys -- Sounds like 3.236 is pretty stable, I'll try it first and then 3.249 if I have any problems.
