Version 3.0.8 released.

Hi,
> I know that code folding is available through FineLine IDE.
Are you sure about that? As far as I can see from Norms post a couple of weeks back it's not.

> About RAM, the MCS gives the number at the end of compilation.
Are you sure about that? As far as I know it tells you how big the compiled program is, not how much RAM it uses.

> Also the MCS seems stable at my end so far. I remember you had problems, so you still have. Sorry about that. Maybe you can setup a virtual machine and run MCS in this environment.
Yes, it still does it from time to time. No, I don't know how to setup a virtual environment and there should be no need to. It crashes for me on at home and at work and I'm not alone so the problem isn't strictly at my end. Even Darrel reported he had crashes with it - more so than he initially thought,

> Code folding and RAM doesn't work in MPLABX, it just show how much FLASH is used.
Oh, that sucks. But you aren't using the latest version of MPLABX are you? Not saying it works there but it IS listed as one of the features so a properly implemented toolchain plugin or whatever it is that is needed "should" allow it to work.

> I have also updated my PBP to 3.0.8 and I use it with MPLAB 8.73a with out any problems. What's the big deal with MPLABX?
What if you try to compile for a part for which support was added in 3.0.8, like the 18F96J99? Does it work then? I suspect it doesn't really need MPLABX but it needs the latest version of MPASM (which comes WITH the latest version MPLABX) in order to assemble code for the new devices.

The big deal with MPLAB is to be able to use source level debugging and to get away from MCSX which crashes from time to time.
