Hello everyone, it's a pleasure to finally announce the release of AVRDUDE version 6.4. It's been a (too) long time since the last release.
There are many bugfixes and many new features in this release - a personal "Thank you!" to everyone who contributed something. Without all your help, the release wouldn't have been possible. To those who feel unhappy since their patch or bug report was not considered: sorry for that, but all my previous attempts to include "everything" eventually got the release delayed forever, so I had to decide to make a cut at some point, to finally get it out. Kept promising that for way too long now. Development won't stop, and with the help in particular of Marius Greuel, right after this release, the entire project will now move to Github. Marius created the "avrdudes" project for that purpose, and already did a lot of background work to not only transfer the code itself (many have been doing that before) but also the issue tracker entries that form a part of the history and knowledgebase of the project. I already made the issue trackers on Savannah read-only, and I'm kindly asking any developers to no longer commit anything to the Savannah SVN tree. Please give Marius a bit of time to re-synch the avrdudes/avrdude tree on Github, and then proceed there. I won't close the Savannah project completely. For one, the existing attachments still refer there (and won't be copied over, that makes no sense). Also, we do have this mailing list on Savannah, and I don't see a replacement for that on Github right now. In the next days, I'll see how I can place a prominent notice on Savannah that's referring users to the Github repo. -- cheers, Joerg .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
