2007 is setting out to be an interesting year at ImageCraft. We will 
continue to enhance our existing products of course:

- new 8 bit optimizations for AVR and M8C (PRO version)
- support for new devices in the AVR, MSP430, ARM, and S12X families. 
Including extended addressing for 430X.

In addition, we have decided on the following new projects:

- Microchip PIC24 port. The PIC24 is a new 16 bit family from Microchip. It 
has many advantages that comes with being a Microchip device without some 
of the earlier architectural limitations. As PIC16 users upgrading to 
larger parts, the PIC24 is a natural step up.

- Propeller C. Propeller is a unique device from http://www.parallax.com. 8 
32-bit CPUs on one chip. Think "no interrupt." Propeller C gives us an 
opportunity to

- ARM7 Educational Kits. We are producing a complete education kit bundle 
with board, compiler, debugger, and course materials for some large 
universities. I expect variants of this kit will be made to address 
different unverisities' needs.

- More flexible dongle scheme. We sold over 500 dongles last year. I have 
ideas on making them more flexible.

Anyway, my brain is still somewhere out in the Pacific Ocean. That's for 
now. Thank you for your support.

Subject: [Icc-announce] 7.12A released
Message-ID: <6.1.0.6.2.20070310182815.0b1ecba0@192.168.100.42>

V7.12A - March 11th, 2007
   IDE
     - The starting address for the 644P was incorrect (the only current "P"
       device with more interrupt vectors than the corresponding non-P devices.
     - For ISP with STK500, add a box for "No Erase." Use only if you
       pre-erase the chip.
   Linker
     - bootloader build for < 64K devices were broken WRT -e:<size> switch
       added in 7.10B
   Library
     - added the missing cstrpbrk and the new cstrtok
     - the crt* startup files now always initialize RAMPZ to the appropriate
       value based on the project type. This is so that if you are building
       an application that is invoked by a bootloader, the startup file for
       the main app will initialize RAMPZ to zero, ensuring correct program
       behaviors.

     - Changed device names from HC... to MC...
   Preprocessor

   Assembler
     - XGate support broke some processing in the CPU12 instruction processing.
       Fixed.
