Jan-Erik, Although this is true, it is also tru that they expect everything to work reasonably. That is what the=20 beta test is for. To let a multitude of users (testers) try it out, run it through it's paces, and see if anything crops up that the programmers and in houses testers didn't find. It's almost guaranteed that there will be something show up. But, regardless, the programmers expect thing to work for the most part as they think it should. =20 Regards, Jim > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: Re: [PIC] MPLAB 8.60 > From: Jan-Erik Soderholm > Date: Thu, October 28, 2010 8:24 am > To: "Microcontroller discussion list - Public." >=20 >=20 > On 2010-10-28 15:03, Bento, Joseph (Electronic Communications Tech) wrote= : > > > > > > -----Original Message----- From: piclist-bounces@MIT.EDU > > [mailto:piclist-bounces@MIT.EDU] On Behalf Of cdb Sent: Thursday, > > October 28, 2010 4:04 AM To: PICLIST@MIT.EDU Subject: [PIC] MPLAB 8.60 > > > > I was told at the Microchip shindig I attended today, that v8.60 will > > be the last version of MPLAB as we know it - all development is now > > frozen on this series and all effort is now on MPLAB X. > > > > Colin -- cdb, on 28/10/2010 > > > > > > I'm still a novice when it comes to PIC programming.
