7.7 Release policy

Historically there often were long delays between official releases and the sourceforge download area tended to get not updated at all. Starting with version 2.4.0 SDCC in 2004 switched to a time-based release schedule with one official release usually during the first half of the year.

The last digit of an official release is zero. Additionally there are daily snapshots available at snap `http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/snap.php`, and you can always build the very last version from the source code available at Sourceforge `http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/snap.php#Source`. The SDCC Wiki at `http://sdcc.wiki.sourceforge.net/`also holds some information about past and future releases.
