Previously, during the build, the full package_index.json was downloaded
and distributed with the Arduino IDE.
This lead to a situation where it was difficult to test new AVR cores
before publishing them to the public package_index.json.
Now the bundled AVR core is specificed in the file:
`hardware/package_index_bundled.json`
this index is loaded from the IDE at startup and the package_index.json
is overlayed on it.
This should also solve part of #5143 (Repeatable builds and snapshots of
package/library indexes)
ApacheCommons do some command-line tweaking that doesnt fit well
with argument passing to arduino-builder, in particular for -prefs
arguments containing spaces.
Previously a NullPointer exception was thrown.
Now the build go on and fails when the recipe cannot be replaced
the correct tool path, that is a much more informative error.
A new property "includes" has been added to library.properties.
This property contains a comma-separated list of the files to be included when
the user selects the "Include library" command on the Arduino IDE.
If the property is missing the old behaviour is used.
The current method of reporting upload errors is based on an exoteric combination of exceptions which makes return error code useless
The Uploader.java message() implementation is too avrdude-dependant to allow easy portability since the upload tools are becoming a lot and very different
With this commit we try to avoid exceptions and only use the external uploader's exit code to decide the status bar message.
The message can be:
- the last line containing "error" string (any case) or
- the usual avrdude message parsing (to keep compatibility with translations)
Needs testing with all platform and all supported upload tools
This commit introduces the concept of stateful board list (vs. original stateless) and board serial number.
The board is now an "entity" composed by the triplet port/vid/pid. These informations come from libListSerial "light" function. When the board list changes, it triggers a request for the additional infos to libListSerial. These information contains the serial number of the boards.
These brings a lighter and faster scanning process. Some logic has been introduced to handle a board with the S/N only exposed in the bootloader (like 32u4).
In this case the disappearing port acquires the bootloader's S/N
A menu (under Ports menu) shows the currently connected port info and can be used for bugreporting
