[Philipp K. K. <pk...@sp...>]

The SDCC 4.5.0 release is available in our SourceForge File release system:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/sdcc/files/
There, you can find the source package, and binaries for x86 and amd64
Windows, amd64 macOS, and amd64 GNU/Linux.

In addition to many, many bug fixes, notable features added since the
4.4.0 release are:

* Full atomic_flag support for msc51 and ds390 ports.
* Experimental f8 port.
* ISO C2y case range expressions.
* ISO C2y _Generic selection expression with a type operand
* K&R-style function syntax (preliminarily with the semantics of non-K&R
ISO-style functions)
* ISO C23 enums with user-specified underlying type
* struct / union in initializers

P.S.: Personally, I think SDCC 4.5.0 will be the most stable and
reliable release among SDCC from 4.1.0 to 4.7.0, and recommend users of
previous version to upgrade to SDCC 4.5.0 soon.
