** Correcting link to open MPLAB X

----  
*07/09/2011: v3.6b
** details comming soon

----  
*25/07/2011: v3.6
** Suport MPLAB X : Generated C code files can be opened as a project within the new MPLAB X IDE (tested with Beta 0.6)

----  
*21/04/2011: v3.5
** Suport for multi-tasking added (Many thanks to Vojtěch Lamberský from VUT Brno for sharing results and fruitfull discussions about multi-tasking)
** C function call, add start, and init function. Start function is called only once (for initialisation). Init function is called once at startup and each time the block is reseted. Init function may be simplified (disapear) if block is chained with constant value for example.
** MPLAB project created has relative path. Few bugs corrected
** UART: possibility to disable interrupt (in case you want to write your own interrupt driver, for GPS parsing or other background task...)
** Few correction on CAN block (Tq parameters should have -1 with this new version to behave like the previous blockset version.)

----  
*01/03/2011: v3.4c
** C function Call now available with the demo version
** 7 I/O pin available with the demo version

** Bug corrected when two UART were used
** Adding PWM2 variable for using PWM2 motor peripheral

----
*13/01/2011: v3.4b
** Power save mode (IDLE), Correctede bug:timer 2,3,4,5... did not reacts properly in idle mode, making any peripheral using theses timer not working properly WHEN the POWER SAVE MODE were activated (in Master block).
** Adding compatibility with Clock Switch: When this option in the Master block is activated, the clock is configured through a robust switching code that can change the previous clock configuration. This is usefull when using a bootloader.
** Adding a ''Clock Switch to LP'' block. This block allow to modify main clock online so as to be able to lower the power consumption. Note however that real time constraints and peripheral will be affected by this change. This mode may be usefull while the electronic device is being charged for example. Pooling a pin that indicate charging mode make the software able to switch back to normal operations.
----
*30/12/2010: v3.4
** Input Capture : ICxMax value corresponded to the max time defined including the margin (10% by default). Now Corrected (ICxMAX = max time without the margin)

** External Interrupt : INTxMax value corresponded to the max time  defined including the margin  (10% by default). Now Corrected (INTxMAX =  max time without the margin)
** Corrected bug on SPI for slave mode: the peripheral stoped working when the SPI internal buffer overflowed (in slave mode only)
** 33f, 24h and 24f: Now can use switching clock capacity of the dsPIC (might be usefull for example when dsPIC is used with a booloader)
** Improve UART config block  available information (block mask)
** 33f chips : improved algorithm to find best choice for pre and post diviser for PLL configuration
** 33f chips corrected bug: internal FAST RC oscillator did not worked properly with PLL.
** added examples demonstrating data transmission between two dsPIC through PWM signal, SPI bus and CAN bus.

----
*21/11/2010: v3.3a

----

Output port label is now shows in the correct increasing order. (no change on block's output, leave your model as is to have no functional change. Label only have changed).
