ARDUINO 1.6.0rc1 * IDE internals have been refactored and sorted out. (Claudio Indellicati) https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/pull/2328 The builder and the GUI now have clearly separated source code making it easier for IDE developers to maintain and propose patch.

ARDUINO 1.0 - 2011.11.30 [environment] * The file extension for sketches has changed from .pde to .ino, to avoid conflicts with the Processing software ("ino" are the last three letters in "Arduino"). * There are a new set of toolbar icons, including a checkmark icon to verify (compile) a sketch and an arrow for upload. The serial monitor icon has moved to the right of the toolbar. Also, shift-clicking the upload icon now uploads using a programmer (selected in the Tools menu). You can still enable verbose output in the preferences dialog. (Icons were designed by Nicholas Zambetti.) * There’s a new color scheme and about image for the IDE (by ToDo.to.it). * The name of the currently selected board and serial port are now shown at the bottom of the editor. (Code from Wiring.) * A progress bar is displayed during compilation and upload. (from Wiring.) [core / libraries] * Serial transmission is now asynchronous - that is, calls to Serial.print(), etc. add data to an outgoing buffer which is transmitted in the background. Also, the Serial.flush() command has been repurposed to wait for outgoing data to be transmitted, rather than dropping received incoming data. * The behavior of Serial.print() on a byte has been changed to align it with the other numeric data types. In particular, it will now print the digits of its argument as separate ASCII digits (e.g. '1', '2', '3') rather than a single byte. The BYTE keyword has been removed. To send a single byte of data, use Serial.write() (which is present in Arduino 0022 as well). * The Serial class (as well as other classes inheriting from Stream, like EthernetClient, SoftwareSerial, Wire and more) now contains functions for parsing incoming data, based on the TextFinder library by Michael Margolis. They include find() and findUntil() to search for data, parseInt() and parseFloat() for converting incoming characters into numeric values, and readBytes() and readBytesUntil() for reading multiple bytes into a buffer. They use a timeout that can be set with the new setTimeout(). * The SoftwareSerial class has been reimplemented, using the code originally written for the NewSoftSerial library by Mikal Hart. This allows for multiple simultaneous instances, although only one can receive at a time. * Support has been added for printing strings stored in flash (program memory) rather than RAM. Wrap double-quoted strings in F() to indicate that they should be stored in flash, e.g. Serial.print(F("hello world")). * The String class has been reimplemented as well, by Paul Stoffregen. This new version is more memory-efficient and robust. Some functions which previously returned new string instances (e.g. trim() and toUpperCase()) have been changed to instead modify strings in place. * Support for DHCP and DNS has been added to the Ethernet library, thanks to integration by Adrian McEwen. Most classes in the Ethernet library have been renamed to add a "Ethernet" prefix and avoid conflicts with other networking libraries. In particular, "Client" is now "EthernetClient", "Server" is "EthernetServer", and "UDP" is "EthernetUDP". A new IPAddress class makes it easier to manipulate those values. * The UDP API has been changed to be more similar to other libraries. Outgoing packets are now constructed using calls to the standard write(), print(), and println() functions – bracketed by beginPacket() and endPacket(). The parsePacket() function checks for and parses an incoming packet, which can then be read using available(), read(), and peek(). The remoteIP() and remotePort() functions provide information about the packet’s origin. (Again, thanks to Adrian McEwen for the implementation.) * The Wire library has also been modified to use the standard read() and write() functions instead of send() and receive(). You can also use print() and println() for outgoing data. * The SD library now supports multiple simultaneous open files. It also provides the isDirectory(), openNextFile(), and rewindDirectory() functions for iterating through all the files in a directory. (Thanks to Limor Fried.) [boards / firmwares] * Added the Arduino Mini w/ ATmega328. * Added Windows drivers (.inf files) and 16U2 firmware (.hex files) for the rev. 3 boards (Uno, Mega, and Mega ADK). [internals] * The WProgram.h file, which provides declarations for the Arduino API, has been renamed to Arduino.h. To create a library that will work in both Arduino 0022 and Arduino 1.0, you can use an #ifdef that checks for the ARDUINO constant, which was 22 and is now 100. For example: #if defined(ARDUINO) && ARDUINO >= 100 #include "Arduino.h" #else #include "WProgram.h" #endif * The write(), print(), and println() functions in Stream now return a size_t (instead of void). This indicates the number of bytes actually written by the function. Any classes that inherit from Stream will need to change accordingly. Additionally the write(str) function has been given a concrete implementation – it calls write(buf, len) - so sub-classes don't need to (and shouldn't) implement it. * There are new abstract base-classes for Client, Server, and UDP to provide portability across networking libraries. * The pin definitions for the Arduino boards (i.e. the mappings from pin numbers to port register / bit pairs) is now stored in a sub-folder of a new variants/ folder in the hardware folder. The variant to use for a given board is specified by the BOARD.build.variant preference in the boards.txt file. * The new, variant-specific pins_arduino.h files now provides additional macros with information about the characteristics of the board (e.g. the locations of the SPI and TWI pins, and the number of digital and analog pins). * The avrdude included with the Mac and Windows versions of the Arduino software has been upgraded to avrdude 5.11 (from an Arduino-specific version of avrdude 5.4). The software now uses the "arduino" programmer type in place of "stk500v1" for uploading to most Arduino boards.

ARDUINO 0009 - 2007.08.06 * Added support for the Arduino Diecimila. * Switched to using avrdude (instead of uisp) for uploading sketches. * Added the ability to burn NG and Diecimila bootlaoders (with an AVRISPmkII). * Fixed a bug in SoftwareSerial (a hardware serial function was being called instead of the software serial equivalent). Thanks to brianbr for the report and fix. ARDUINO 0008 - 2007.06.09 * Updated examples (in distribution and on the website). * Added an EEPROM library (see reference for details). * Added a Stepper motor library (see reference). * Patched to reduce binary sketch sizes by building the Arduino core as a library (.a) file - now only the needed parts of the core are linked into a sketch. Originally written by Nicolas Roland, revised by Don Cross. * Fixed bug in Serial.available(). Report and fix by Don Cross. * Now recompiling libraries when switching microcontrollers. Report by Julian Bleecker; fix by Nicholas Zambetti. * Cleaned up core functions: moved pin definitions into program space to save RAM, and other minor improvements. Contributed by Jim Studt. * Lots of reference additions and fixes from Paul Badger. * Changed default microcontroller to ATmega168 from ATmega8. * Removed the delay from analogRead(). * Activating TWI/I2C pullup resistors on the ATmega168 (in addition to the ATmega8). ARDUINO 0007 - 2006.12.25 * Smaller core (about 3.5 KB instead of 4.5 KB). * Added a SoftwareSerial library (thanks to Antonio, Heather Dewey-Hagborg, and bigengineer for their help). * Implemented a Serial.flush() routine; see reference for details. * Digital pins 0 and 1 can be used for i/o until a call to Serial.begin(). * Replaced avr-lib's uart routines with custom code for handling serial communication and modified C++ serial commands to call the C serial commands; the code may behave slightly differently in border cases (e.g. non-standard speeds, or on overflow). * Added attachInterrupt() and detachInterrupt() functions for handling of external interrupts on pins 2 and 3. * Implemented shiftOut() routine; see reference for details. * Defining binary constants: e.g. B1010 is 6. * Mac versions no longer require running of the macosx_setup.command script. * Windows version comes with the FTDI USB drivers already unzipped. * New Linux binary distribution (still requires some programs to be pre-installed). ARDUINO 0006 - 2006.10.21 * Mac version no longer requires Java 1.5, meaning it should run on 10.3.9. * Added support for analog inputs 6 and 7 and pwm on pins 5 and 6 on the on the ATmega168 used in the Arduino Mini (extra analog inputs not available in DIP ATmega168s). * You now select the baud rate for the serial monitor from within the editor status bar when the serial monitor is running instead of from the Tools menu. * Pressing enter within the serial monitor edit box no longer appends a newline to the message sent to the board. * Included the Wire (TWI) library from Wiring. * Updated the reference. ARDUINO 0005 - 2006.09.26 * Applied patch from Hans Steiner to improve Linux support by searching for avr tools in the user's path instead of expecting them at a fixed location. * Added an upload.verbose preference for help in debugging. * ATmega168 support! * New Wiring-compatible randomSeed(), random(max) and random(min, max) functions (except operating on longs instead of floats). * Fixed bug that sometimes caused uploading of old versions of a sketch. * Serial monitor nows include an interface to send messages to the Arduino board.

ARDUINO 0004 - 2006.04.26 * Main sketch is now compiled as C++ (instead of C). * Updated avr toolchain. * printInteger(), printHex(), etc. now handle longs. * millis() fixed (now overflows after days, not minutes) * Fixed path to java in Windows run.bat. * Added Matrix and Sprite libraries (written with Nicholas Zambetti). * PWM now working on pin 11 (in addition to pins 9 and 10). * Slowed PWM frequency (on all three PWM pins) to 1KHz. * Now give an error if compiled sketch is too big. * Fixed abs(), min(), max(), and constrain() macros. * Added menu items to the IDE to burn bootloader. * Now display binary sketch size on upload, and give error if too big. * Added C++ serial library. * Resynced with Processing/Wiring IDE code (improved auto-format, faster logging to serial monitor console, other bug fixes) * New library system. * Updated to latest version of the RXTX serial library; Mac users will need to rerun macosx_setup.command. ARDUINO 0003 - 2006.01.16 API Changes * Reversed the analog input pins to correspond to newer boards. This means a call, for example, to analogRead(0) must be changed to analogRead(5) in order to read the same physical pin. * Added a printNewline() function (which sends '\n' = ASCII 10). New Stuff * Reference is included (features native to C not yet documented). * Serial monitor added (click the toolbar button to turn it on or off). Baud rate is controlled by the Serial Monitor Baud Rate Menu, defaults to 9600.
