Pelles C is a complete development kit for Windows and Windows Mobile. It contains among other things an optimizing C compiler, a macro assembler, a linker, a resource compiler, a message compiler, a make utility and install builders for both Windows and Windows Mobile.
It also contains an integrated development environment (IDE) with project management, debugger, source code editor and resource editors for dialogs, menus, String tables, accelerator tables, bitmaps, icons, cursors, Animated Cursors, animation videos (AVI's without sound), versions and XP manifests.
The compiler is based on LCC (by Chris Fraser and David Hanson), and the Install Builder for Windows is based on NSIS. Both are heavily modified.

Support for 32-bit Windows (X86), 64-bit Windows (X64), and Windows Mobile (ARM).
Support for the C99 standard.
Integrated source code editor with call tips and symbol browsing.
Integrated source-level debugger.
Project management.
Inline assembler for X86 and ARM.

new:
# Added options /fd, /fp, and /fs to specify the database location for system definitions, known function prototypes, and snippets, respectively.
# Added support for specifying directories for intermediate and result files when creating a new project.
# Added support for message scripts in projects (tricky, since part of the output from the message compiler are source files that should also be part of the project - catch-22, or something).
# Added support for exporting individual resources to file.
# Changed to resizable dialogs in many places (where it made sense).
# Revised the build engine for workspaces (the old version could get the silly idea of rebuilding the same project more than once, for example).
# Added support for enumerations and Thread Local Storage in the debugger.
# Added better recognition of Unicode entry-points in the debugger.
