[E. Weddington]

Announcing WinAVR 20030312

WinAVR (pronounced "whenever") is a suite of executable, open source 
software development tools for the Atmel AVR series of RISC 
microprocessors hosted on the Windows platform. It includes the
GNU GCC compiler for C and C++.

WinAVR can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/winavr/


Below is just a sample of what's new.

- The installer now automatically writes the WinAVR directories to 
your PATH environment variable and checks to see if they already 
exist.
  
- avrdude 4.0.0 is now included. avrdude is an open source programmer 
software that is user extensible. It is the former avrprog by Brian 
Dean now renamed and cross-platform.

- GNU Debugger (GDB) 5.3 for the AVR target (avr-gdb) is now 
included.

- AVaRICE 2.0 is now included. AVaRICE is a program for interfacing 
the Atmel JTAG ICE to GDB so users can debug their AVR.

- SRecord 1.14 is now included. SRecord is a collection of utilities 
to manipulate load files in different formats and various ways.

- New version of Programmers Notepad 2. You can now call command-line 
tools. (And without any batch files to do it!)

- avr-libc supports new devices: AT76C711, AT86RF401, AT43USB35x, and 
AT43USB32x.

- Added a small package, tofrodos, to the utilities to convert Unix / 
DOS line endings.
  
- More changes and corrections to the sample makefile.


For more information see the README.txt file that comes in the binary
installation.
