File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: AVR-Ada-V0.1

Notes: Status ====== Although the compiler and the library have considerably improved in the last few months they still have some problems. Do not base a commercial project on this tool chain. Or if you do, do it at your own risk :-). Most of Ada's static features can be used with AVR-Ada. A typical Ada run time system is practically non-existant (and will probably never be). As a consequence we have to sacrifice some of the typical useful Ada features like run time checks, exception handling, timing commands (no delay statement), tasking, etc. Some of them are on our todo list for future releases, though. We provide an Avr package hierarchy with some useful type and interface definitions and most importantly the necessary definitions for most AVR parts. Some sample programs in the apps/ directory show how to use the compiler and the library. This includes the tutorial program from the avr-libc distrubution translated to Ada. The documentation is very low and consists only of the pages at avr-ada.sourceforge.net. A copy of the pages is in the directory AVR-Ada/web/ for offline reading.
