The development team announced the last version of Jallib collection of libraries for the JALv2 compiler and the same time, "her" retirement. But anyone can take the further development if desired.

This does not mean that the development of JALv2 compiler won't continue.
A big "Thank you!" to the development team of Jallib.

The original announcement:
[quote]We are glad to announce the availability of:

Jallib final release 1.0.0

The packages can be found at the Jallib Google drive. A link to
this drive *DOWNLOADS* can be found near the bottom in the
left column of the homepage of the Jallib project at Google Code,
and at the top of the introduction text.
Note: the 'Downloads' tab of that page is deprecated.

The standard jallib-pack-2.4q2-1.0.0.zip package contains:
- Tested device files for more than 500 Microchip PICmicros.
- More than 150 libaries for all kinds of functions, like:
+ JAL language extensions: formatting, mathematics, etc.
+ Control of PIC peripherals: ADC, I2C, PWM, USB, Serial, etc.
+ Control of external devices: LCD, graphic LCD, 7-segment and
other LED displays, keyboards, SD memory cards, ATA Harddisk,
FAT32, Minix-FS, many sensor types, etc.
+ different networking protocols: CAN, TCP, UDP, ARP, etc.
- For each device file and library there is at least one
*tested* relatively simple example program to show the use
of the library. And there are more suffisticated samples
for several popular PICs.
Altogether almostbout 1500 samples programs.
- A few 'projects': ready to use programs.
- Extensive documentation of all libraries in html format,
as well a starters guide and a tutorial in PDF-format.
- The latest JalV2 compiler (version 2.4q2) complete with
its own documentation.

There are two other (smaller) packages available:
- jallib-1.0.0.zip
the standard package without compiler and tutorials
- jallib-all_devices-1.0.0.zip
all available device files and blink-a-led samples,
including untested files.

Major enhancements in Jallib version 1.0.0 compared to 0.9.0:
- Tens of new device files based on the most recent datasheets
and the latest MPLAB_X version 2.05 (was MPLAB 8.92).
- Several new function libaries and sample programs.
- Several improvements and bug fixes.
- Some more educational simple and interesting advanced
example programs.
For details see the file CHANGELOG in the download packages.

We recommend to use the latest JalV2 Compiler version 2.4q2
because it fixes several issues with older releases and has
some new features used by some libraries. Samples and
libaries may work only with this compiler version!

Have fun and report your experiences with Jallib 1.0.0!

The Jallib Team.

PS: Because we (the core members of Jallib: Joep, Rob, Seb)
consider Jallib as being mature now, we announce our retirement!
We stay available for some time to help with the transfer of
tasks, responsibilities, ownership, etc, to the next generation
of maintainers! ==> Candidates are welcome to apply!

Hi Guys, I am here to take over Seb's work, such as building the package and maintaining build bot. Please accept this as my application.

Rob, I don't know what goes into making device files. I hope you can add additional doc and let me know how I may collect each new microchip device file to make upgrading easy. Although I would not be doing so at this time.
