All releases of PonyProg


Release Notes: Lock dir and ttyS device name are parameterized. An annoying bug in the check boxes of setup dialog is fixed. An automatic read of security bits is added just after the dialog opens and there are no previous settings. The Clear All and Set All buttons are removed, because they created confusion and modified disabled bits. ULTRASLOW speed is added to the INI file bus speed parameter, which is useful to access AVR devices clocked at low frequencies (e.g. 32KHz). AVR ATmega2560 and ATmega2561 support is added.


Release Notes: This release adds support for several new AVR devices: ATtiny13, 25, 45, 85, 261, 461, and 861, ATmega44, 88, 168, 164, 324, 644, 640,1280, and 1281, and AT90can32, 64, and 128.


Release Notes: Experimental support for PIC16F87xA and PIC16F62x devices was added. A severe flash programming problem with the ATtiny26 and ATmega8535/8515 was fixed, and a minor bug with the DT006 interface was fixed.


Release Notes: Support for AVR devices was added: ATtiny26, ATmega32, ATmega8515, ATmega8535, ATmega162, ATmega169. Support for these new devices is experimental. Some bugs regarding loading HEX files with extended address records were fixed. A timing problem on fast computers was fixed.


Release Notes: This release adds an AutoDetect INI parameter to enable/disable autodetect and set LPT and COM port I/O addresses, WinNT/2000 port address autodetect (now LPT works even on a PC with a 3BC address), and Read Osc.Calibration in the Program cycle. Erase() returns an error -9 if not implemented in the selected device. The toolbar has been redesigned with new icons. Polish and Swedish translations have been added. A VerifyAfterWrite INI parameter has been added to enable/disable verify after every write. Some optimization that caused the compiler to produce bad code (INVERT lines didn't work) has been disabled..


Release Notes: ATmega8 write routine fixes, ATmega128 write polling routine fixes, a fix for programming the EEPROM twice, and a fix for the buffer overflow problem with long paths.


Release Notes: Fixes for the ATtiny12 erase problem and the PIC write ALL problem, improved JDM programmer support, and a fix for the PIC save file.


Release Notes: Fixes for loading configuration bits from .hex file for PIC, fixes for programming of high fuse bits for ATmega163, and support for ATmega8, ATmega16, and ATmega128.


Release Notes: Loading of .BIN, X2444 read routine, and MDA2061/2062 read and write routines fixed. Bulgarian, Ukrainian, and Brasilian translations added. AVR ATmega323 support (untested), AT93C57 support (untested), CSM file support, and DT-006 AVR interface added.


Release Notes: Script files for batch programming were added. The oscillator calibration byte for Tiny12/Tiny15 is now read. Support for X2444/2445 and for PIC12C671/672 was added.
