It is on it's last official release, at least officially.)Officially, it's up to me what to do with WinAVR. Admittedly there hasn't been a lot of incentive what with AS5 coming out with a toolchain. However, based on some discussion on AVR Freaks, I'm reconsidering.
WinAVR is a great project, it would be a pity if it would die.IMO the best way for AS to cooperate with avr-gcc is to provide WinAVR seperately and supply an interface to it. If AS supported to chose the installation path of avr-tools, AS users could easily switch to their favourate versions of avr-gcc and try new releases.
I can understand that you are absorbed by and focused at the big AS5 project, but letting WinAVR die and deploying avr-gcc /only/ within a mega-project like AS5 is no good idea, IMO.
