Hi Jim,

I'm using 4.08 with the Tiny13 right now, so I really have no choice but
to use it.  I've had some problems with the Project Manager window.  The
work around is to only add/create files using the right click menu.
Atmel claims that very few have reported this problem.

My project manager window sometimes blanks.  It comes back, but I don't
know how to make it happen at will.  So far it hasn't created any
problems for me, although I've had to re-start studio to get it back at
times.

It vastly irritates me that I must still use 3.55 to work with the
Tiny15.  Most of our products are based on that processor.  BTW, there
is a firmware upgrade for the STK500 required when you go to 4.08, and I
_believe_ that it renders the STK incompatible with 3.55.  Atmel's
response to my questions and concerns about this can be paraphrased as
"who cares".  I suspect that I can simulate Tiny15 programs with the
Tiny13 simulator, but I haven't had time to try this yet.

The conditional assembly directives are very long overdue, and a huge
attraction for me as all of the projects I work on have analog inputs,
which are a real pain in the simulator.  There are errors in the help
files for the new directives.  Surf
http://www.avrfreaks.net/phorum/list.php?f=8 for more details here.
This list is monitored by the 4.08 development team, and they will
(occasionally) respond.

Apart from those problems, things seem to be ok, but I haven't got
hundreds of hours in yet.  I like where things are going with this.
