v9-20 

added bootloader written in MSVC

v9-0

Added 16F87xA compatible bootloader.

v7-6

Turned BODEN off so b/l can be used with low voltage parts.

v7-41

Enhanced the "test serial port" routines to support processors with 128 bytes of
EEPROM, and a wider range of crystal speeds.

Updated file structure of distribution download to make it easier to navigate.

Moved all files into a directory structure. Updated to remove references to
16F872 - it has no hardware serial UART and therefore will not work. Updated
documentation.

v7-3

Assembly bootloader updated, released as v2-2.  Now with smaller size, and reset
of UART and TIMER1 after bootloading, and passes on watchdog parameters.

v7-2

v1-08 of PICdownloader.exe released - now automatically opens the .hex file
specified on the command line.

This is an excellent time saver, you set the editor to open the downloader with
your new file after compilation.  One user reported using PBPro and Microcode
Studio (from www.mecanique.co.uk) as the editor. It allows you to set your
programmer and or bootloader and associated parameters to open those up
automatically after compilation.

v7-10

Made a few minor changes to the documentation.  This version has been up on the
website, with thousands of downloads, and theres remarkably few tech support
requests which I havnt been able to solve with a simple answer.


v7 (beta)

This version is different to v6.52 in that all .hex files provided are from the
assembly language of the bootloader.  Previous version was from C language
version of bootloader.


Whats new
---------

The first 4 instructions in .hex file at 0x0000 to 0x0003 do *not* have to have
a long jump with zeroed PCLATH, as in v6.52 and below.


Known untested portions:
------------------------

PIN option in assembly language program untested.
Havnt tested with PIC16F870-1-2 (its a simple 0x1000 to 0x700 change).

v6.52

Current version.
