Thanks for the support from Tebe regarding MADS and thanks for the support from Spookt regarding Mac OS X! Meanwhile a lot of bug fixes and new features are ready, especially the first version of the compile log parser for MADS works now. The sheer amount of 115 additional directives in MADS made it a tough job to get the syntax coloring correct, but now I'm through. So prepare for WUDSN IDE 1.2.0 next weekend. I hardly dare to think of the content outline parser, therefore that will be included at earliest in the subsequent version...

I am very happy to announce that finally "WUDSN IDE", the free integrated Atari 8-bit development plugin for Eclipse is available.
It features syntax highlighting, content assistance, content outlining and many more features which are helpful when developing 6502 assembler code.
The first version is 1.0.0 and was released on 2009-06-08.
I have released it though I know about some bugs already, but - damn it - I need to get this web site up and running now.
