Software Release Notes Archive

All devices listed are added to all 40-pin and 48-pin programmers unless otherwise stated. A device added to 48-pin programmers only is only added to the ChipWriter programmer. Support is of course dependent on the support capabilities of the programmer model, as per the data sheet.
