New predefined constant (these exist only in the “gpasm” mode {if the command line is not included the "--mpasm-compatible" option}):

Start address of the Lower Access RAM area:

Name	Explanation
__ACC_RAM_LOW_START	0x00 (Only in the Extended 16 bit core: pic18xxx)

---

New option in gpasm: -S [0|1|2], --strict [0|1|2]
Set the strict level of the recommended instruction-parameters (W or F and A or B). The "strict messages" have higher priority than the warnings. (See: -w [0|1|2]) [0]... read more

The gputils-1.4.0 has been released. The source code package is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gputils/files/gputils/1.4.0/gputils-1.4.0-1.tar.gz. Windows 32bit setup package is at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gputils/files/gputils-win32/1.4.0/gputils-1.4.0.exe.

gputils 1.4.0 includes the following enhancements:

• Extended error and warning messages.
• Enabled the CONFIG directive on the 12-bit and 14-bit devices.
• Enabled the IDLOCS directive on the pic18fxxx devices.
• The gpasm lists the properties of the processors.
• New predefined constants in the gpasm: __EEPROM_START, etc.
• The gpdasm shows the names of SFRs and bits, in addition shows the labels in code.
• The inc and lkr files are synced with MPLABX 2.20... read more

Extended error and warning messages.

---

The gpdasm does recognize the PIC12E instructions.

---

The gpdasm does not disassemble the section of config bits. Instead it displays these bytes.

---

New option in gpdasm: -n, --show-names
For some case of SFR, shows the name of instead of the address.

---

New option in gpasm: -k, --error
Enables creation of the error (.err) file.
Enabled the CONFIG directive on the PIC12(E) and PIC14(E) devices. This only works in "gpasm" mode -- if the command line is not included the "--mpasm-compatible" option.

---

Enabled the IDLOCS directive on the PIC16E devices. This only works in "gpasm" mode -- if the command line is not included the "--mpasm-compatible" option.

---

The gpdasm now shows the labels.

---

The gpdasm now shows names the SFRs and bits.

---

A new option of the gpdasm: --show-config
As a result of this option shows the CONFIG directives.

---

The modified "--show-config" option now show CONFIG and IDLOCS - or __idlocs - directives also.

---

A new option of the gpasm: --full-address
Show full address in .lst file at the memory map region.

---

A new option of the gpasm: -j, --sdcc-dev16-list
This help to the extension of the pic16devices.txt file in the sdcc project. Using by itself, displays the all '16e' devices. Along with the '-p' option, shows only the specified device.

---

A new option of the gpasm: -s[12[ce]|14[ce]|16[ce]], --list-processor-properties[=([12[ce]|14[ce]|16[ce]])]
Lists properties of the processors. Using by itself, displays the all devices or group of the devices. Along with the '-p' option, shows only the specified device.

---

New predefined constants: __EEPROM_START and __EEPROM_END
They facilitate the placement of data in the EEPROM area, if the command line is not included the "--mpasm-compatible" option.

New predefined constants (these exist only in the “gpasm” mode {if the command line is not included the "--mpasm-compatible" option}):
