HI-TECH C PRO Delayed to 2008
Tuesday, December 11th, 2007We received word that the long awaited Professional version of HI-TECH C for the PIC 10/12/16 has been delayed. The new release date is scheduled for Jan/Feb of 2008, which gives another solid month after the holidays for HI-TECH to wrangle the remaining bugs.
Here’s the announcement from HI-TECH:
“As is the case from time to time, we experience some extraordinary product development challenges. The release phase for HI-TECH C PRO for the PIC10/12/16 MCU Family (PICC PRO) has been no exception. As a result of these challenges the Beta Testing period of the HI-TECH C PRO for the PIC10/12/16 MCU Family has been extended; with the final release scheduled for the end of January/ early February 2008.
“We realize this delay may not fit with your timelines. Please be assured that if there is any way we can get the product to you earlier, we will.”
For those who are not familiar, the Pro version of the popular HI-TECH C Pro compiler adds Omniscient Code Generation™ which provides aggressive cross-module optimizations that can produce significant code size and performance improvements.
The beta program has been extended and you can still sign up on the HI-TECH site at this link.
