 Now you can easily obtain assembly code runnable on the simulator by writing a C program, and using !EduXcomp to translate it. Download it from the official site http://eduxcomp.sourceforge.net. Early !EduXcomp developers will integrate their tool in

 * '''New release: 0.5.2''' Time for a bugfix release of the stable 0.5.x series of
{{{
#!html
<b>EduMIPS<span style = "color: red; ">64</span></b>!
}}}
 The work for version 1.0 is going on slowly, and a change in the behavior of Swing in Java 6 introduced a bug in the simulator. So we created a new version from the 0.5.x series that fixes this bug and other small annoyances. You can download it from the !SourceForge page, reachable from the [wiki:Download] section!

'''22/10/2007: ''' [[BR]]
 * '''New release: 1.0-alpha''' After some time, here's the new version of
{{{
#!html
<b>EduMIPS<span style = "color: red; ">64</span></b>!
}}}
 This release contains the brand new FPU support and the first stage of the new HTML help, straight from the same LaTeX sources of the PDF manual. Everyone is encouraged to get a copy and test it, because this is the first step towards 1.0 and testing is very important. You can download it from the !SourceForge page, reachable from the [wiki:Download] section!

'''19/09/2007: ''' [[BR]]
 * '''FPU manual''' The FPU italian manual is downloadable from http://www.edumips.org/browser/trunk/docs/FPU/ManualeFPU.pdf. In order to test new features you must download the svn version of

 * '''New bugfix release: 0.5.1''' This release of 
{{{
#!html

 is the last one before the FPU-powered release. We made this release mostly before there are some bug fixes that made 0.5 not-so-stable. Please update to this version if you're still using 0.5. Read the [wiki:Changelog] or go download it from the !SourceForge page, reachable from the [wiki:Download] section!
 * '''A preview about the FPU usage''' Added some files .s that work with the FPU. In order to try them you must download the svn jar file from http://www.edumips.org/svn/trunk/edumips64-svn.jar and the samples rar file from the [wiki:Download] section.

 * '''RSS Feed for commits and info about development''' Seems like sometimes the edumips64-commit isn't updated in the right way, so we thought that we could use Trac's internal RSS features to notify users of SVN commits. If you want to stay updated with

 usage: ''' A Computer Architecture course at the University of Sarajevo used our simulator for some laboratory sessions. Their problem was the lack of FPU support, that hopefully will soon be implemented. Read more at http://courses.etf.unsa.ba/mod/resource/index.php?id=59

 is going to be used in two Computer Architecture courses at University of Catania. This is the first time that the simulator is the official tool of an academic course, and we hope that more and more universities around the world will start using it. Development will surely benefit of this adoption.
