My personal impression from the bug reports is that 4.4.0 is quite good, except for Windows-specific issues. And AFAIK, about half our users do use Windows. My original plans for 4.5.0 (mcs51 codegen rewrite for new register allocator) got delayed, so nothing of that will make it to trunk before 4.5.0. So my idea was to try to look into those Windows issues a bit, and see if I can fix some of them (despite not being a Windows user), and fix that code size/speed regression (https://sourceforge.net/p/sdcc/feature-requests/937/) I introduced when fixing a bug recently, so 4.5.0 would be for Windows users what 4.4.0 was for the non-windows users. Once those fixes are in, we could look into a release schedule for 4.5.0, possibly aiming for a release in the first few days of 2025. Philipp |
