Altera_ForumDoes someone have the release notes? I did a search but could not find relavant information. I'd like to see what is changed for web-edition.
Multiple core support doesn't help me much there.- Altera_Forum

Thank you.

They have made a minor ****-up - the window that can be clicked for the 30 day free trial still refers to version 13.1 although it takes one to the 14.0 web page.
A simple PB and LED design built OK and worked when programmed into a Cyclone IV board. - Altera_Forum
A few notes:
They have dropped support for Cyclone III/Stratix III and earlier families, so if you need one of these, keep 13.1! Also if you are installing on Ubuntu Linux. the setup.sh script uses: # !/bin/env bash on Ubuntu the env program is located in /usr/bin/env A quick fix is to create a soft link by doing the following: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/env /bin/env - Altera_Forum
I found it takes longer to compile (web-edition) but it is "better" in a sense that it has fewer warnings and on one time was able to keep within the timing requirements where 13.1 could not. But it takes about 5 times longer with the same settings in a project with a lot of hierarchy levels and components.
Also I just used the RTL Viewer, and it is farmore easier to use, and looks way better. - Altera_Forum--- Quote Start --- Quartus II 14.0 is now available.

First off. There seems to be a daft bug.
When trying to open HDL files generated by the Megawizard (the .v file for LPM_COMPARE and a FIFO .v file), instead of opening the file it starts to Megawizard. I had to go to Quartus 13.0sp1 to open the .v file. Seriously. You guys need to sort your Software QA or simply leave features that work alone. - Altera_Forum
Sorry, I mean that in Qsys I can't assign base address automaticly.

From release notes.
"The MegaWizard Plug-In Manager has been removed from the Quartus II software release version 14.0 The IP Catalog and parameter editor replace the MegaWizard Plug-In Manager in the Quartus II software to unify all Altera IP within one GUI. The Quartus II software might generate messages that refer to the MegaWizard Plug-In Manager. Substitute "IP Catalog and parameter editor" for "MegaWizard Plug-In Manager" in these messages" You can open the file generated by the Megawizard by selecting it in the file pane (drop down from qip). However file->open will always start the megawizard. I cannot see this described in the release notes which is poor. May I suggest a pop up box that let's the user choose?
