ARDUINO 1.6.6 - 2015.11.03
[ide]
* Switched to Java 8, which is now both bundled and needed for compiling the IDE
* Added link to unofficial boards support list in preferences
* Limit of possible new sketches in a day raised to 676. Thanks @Chris--A
* Windows: fixed a bug when running username had non ASCII chars
* Lots of fixes
* ArduinoISP examples moved under 11.ArduinoISP folder
* MacOSX: binary is now able to tell the IDE its current working directory. Eases life to those using the IDE from the CLI
* CLI: if specified board doesn't exist, fail instead of using a default one
* Windows: IDE stores its stuff under %LOCALAPPDATA% instead of %APPDATA% (which was a roaming folder). %APPDATA% content is automatically migrated to new location
* Added 74880 baud rate to serial monitor. Thanks @Chris--A
* When changing tab, file name is shown in window title
* IDE groups compiled files into "libraries", "core" and "sketch" folders
* Added Serial Plotter. Thanks @henningpohl
* Editor: triple click selects whole line
* Windows: IDE startup feels faster
* Examples of libraries with a .development flag file in their root folder won't get marked as read-only. See #2619
* Update notifications: when updates are available from either Library or Boards Managers, a popup will be shown
* Introducing arduino-builder, a command line tool that properly calls gcc. Fixes lots of issues about buggy preprocessing.
* Each open sketch gets built in its own folder, allowing the IDE to recycle previous compilations and being much faster
* "Go to line": CTRL+L or Edit > Go to line... will open a dialog where you can type the line number where you want the editor to jump to
* Added boards.local.txt support: like platform.local.txt, allows to enrich a boards.txt definition without modifying the original file. Thanks @Wackerbarth
* Library to library dependencies: when your sketch imports a library, and that library uses another, the IDE will find out without you having to add a useless #include to your sketch
* Allow per-platform keywords.txt. Thanks @PaulStoffregen
* Allow spaces in IDE install path on Linux. Thanks @matthijskooijman
* Fixed a lot of documentation. Thanks to @per1234 @q2dg
* Fixed parsing for SystemProfiler when scanning for available serial ports on Macosx El Capitan
[libraries]
* Bridge: YunClient.connected() returns true if there are bytes available for read. Thanks @RobAtticus
* Bridge: YunClient.stop() now empties all buffers. Thanks @RobAtticus
* Ethernet: Added missing keywords. Thanks @per1234
* Ethernet: Fixed DNSClient.inet_aton() function. Thanks @jhorck
* Ethernet: Expose optional DHCP timout parameters to Ethernet:begin(). Thanks @chaveiro
* Wire: Implemented Wire.end().
* Wire: Fixed bug with repeated START for AVR. Thanks Nate Williams
* Wire: Resolved timing issues on AVR. See #2173 #1477.
* Wire: Fixed bug in repeated start in slave mode on SAM. See #3908
* SD: Change "char *" to "const char *" on methods accepting a string as a parameter. Thanks @Ivan-Perez
* Scheduler: Added support for cortex-M0. Thanks @PeterVH
[core]
* Added new PluggableUSB and HID support. This change introduces a more powerful API for
libraries that wants use advanced features of USB-Device.
Thanks to @obra @NicoHood @matthijskooijman @nospam2000 @weizenspreu
* AVR: fixed wrong turnOffPWM() for TIMER0B. Thanks @gonzoveliki
* AVR: added support for AtmegaXXu2. Thanks @NicoHood
* AVR: a bunch of USB Core bug fix. Thanks @NicoHood
* AVR: Expose serial setting from USB-CDC serial port. Thanks @matthijskooijman
* ArduinoISP is now compatible with every architecture (not only AVR) and is much more stable. Thanks @PeterVH
* Print not aborting on write() failure. Thanks @stickbreaker
* AVR: Faster interrupts patch. Thanks @xxxajk
* AVR: Fixed pulseInLong wrong measurements.
* AVR: Removed a bunch of compiler warnings. Thanks @NicoHood
* Improved variants files for Boards Gemma and Ethernet
ARDUINO 1.6.5-r5 - 2015.08.28
[ide]
* Fixed a but preventing upload on boards that do not supply VID/PID. See #3738
ARDUINO 1.6.5-r4 - 2015.08.27
[ide]
* Added support to Genuino boards
ARDUINO 1.6.5-r3 - 2015.07.20
[ide]
* Fixed Mac signature for OSX >=10.10.4
ARDUINO 1.6.5-r2 - 2015.06.17
[ide]
* Windows: fixed a problem that prevented opening the IDE when double clicking a .ino file
ARDUINO 1.6.5 - 2015.06.15
[ide]
* File, Sketch and Tools menu items are properly handled when switching between different windows
* Sketch > Export compiled Binary: saves the compiled binary (hex, bin) into the sketch folder. Thanks @championswimmer
* New editor, based on RSyntaxTextArea. Thanks @ricardojlrufino
* New keywords. Thanks @Chris--A
* Easier "additional boards manager url" field: a wide text area opens by clicking the added button (right side of the text field)
* Rewritten code of Preferences window: its content is now correctly drawn on every OS
* Fixed a bug that made the IDE notify users of invalid libraries too many times. Thanks @Chris--A
* Removed JNA. Less native stuff and less chances of incurring into an UnsatisfiedLinkError
* Many new and old issues closed. Thanks to many, and @Chris--A in particular
* Faster libraries list update
* Serial monitor stays opened during upload, disabled. Thanks @avishorp and @Wackerbarth
* CLI: --get-pref can now be called without a pref name. If pref name is missing, IDE dumps all preferences
* Holding SHIFT when hovering the save icon will trigger a "Save As"
* Removed proxy settings from File > Preferences: IDE will use system settings
* Linux versions bundle the latest JVM, 1.8.0_45
* Local docs: if your sketch has a "docs" folder, you can add local links to it. For example file://./docs/index.html
will use your browser to open file index.html from the "docs" folder of your sketch
* When using "external editor" mode, sketch code is updated when the IDE gets focused
* Added keyboard shortcuts to IDE menus: ALT+F for File, ALT+E for Edit and so on
* Added support for Dangerous Prototypes Bus Pirate as ISP
* Added "Close" button to Boards/Libs Managers, in order to help linux people with weird Window Managers
* Added File > Open Recent menu, showing the last 5 opened sketches
* Windows: added Arduino Zero drivers
* Tons of minor fixes
[libraries]
* LiquidCrystal fixes. Thanks @newbie15
* Added SPI Transactions to TFT lib
* Stepper: support for 5-phase/5-wires motors. Thanks @rdodesigns
* Stepper: increased precision in timing calculations. Thanks @ekozlenko
* Firmata and Temboo: dropped our vesions, tagged released are downloaded from their respective git repos
[core]
* AVR: delayMicroseconds(..) doesn't hang if called with 0. Thanks @cano64
* AVR: delayMicroseconds(..), added support for 1Mhz, 12Mhz and 24Mhz. Thanks @cano64
* AVR: added missing case in detachInterrupt(). Thanks @leres, @vicatcu
* SAM: added watchdog routine for Due. Thanks @bobc
* AVR+SAM: reworked pulseIn() function to become GCC agnostic
* AVR+SAM: added pulseInLong() (based on micros()) to help getting good results in interrupt-prone environments
* AVR: fixed regression in HardwareSerial.flush(). Thanks @chromhelm
