Well, since PBP3 has been out for several years (and has great additions compared to 2.6) I sure hope they don't spend time on 2.6C (except for possible bug fixes).

Anyway, even if Microchip does something to MPLAB which breaks the "connection" with the old PBP2.6 in the future all you need to do is to not run that new version of MPLAB, right? If you have PBP2.6C now and it works with MPLAB 8.92 (or whatever) why mess around updating the MPLAB/MPASM installation you use with PBP? OK, 10 years down the road when the latest and greatest OS from Microsoft no longer can run that old version MPLAB maby I can see the problem.....

With that said, anyone (and I don't mean anyone particular) complaining about the lack of development on PBP while still sitting on PBP 2.6 (or even earlier) basically has no right to complain IMHO.

And with THAT said I sure hope MeLabs is working, silently like they've always done, in the background. There's been some talk about a version for the 16-bitters (PIC24) which never materialised (at least not yet) but apart from that I don't think I've ever seen any "vapourware", as it was called in the other thread, or development plans, future features etc from MeLabs. It's my understanding that it's always been their strategy and they are sticking to it.

As I said before, let's help them out by helping each other out instead.
