AVR Plugin for Eclipse / News: Recent posts

AVR Eclipse Plugin 2.3.1 released

The AVR Eclipse Plugin version 2.3.0 had a nasty bug that could cause the Plugin to fail completely (java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError Exceptions)

This bug has been fixed with 2.3.1

If you are using 2.3.0 you only need to upgrade to 2.3.1 if you are seeing these Java exceptions.

Both are open to anyone (not just SourceForge members)

The wiki can be found here
