Previously,`makeNewDescription` was called in the constructor and then again later in the `update` method (board manager) or later in the constructor (library manager) to recreate the description JTextPane so it can be filled with text. In all cases, the pane would be created equal, so there is no point in recreating it. Now, it is created only once and stored in an instance variable for later reference. Additionally, `makeNewDescription` now only creates the JTextPane, the constructor handles adding it (like for other components). This change slightly simplifies code, but also prepares for allowing to change the description text color externally in a later commit. For the library manager it is not currently strictly needed to have an instance variable (since the description is only used inside the constructor), but the instance variable is added for consistency and to prepare for this same upcoming change.
Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple I/O board and a development environment that implements the Processing/Wiring language. Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or can be connected to software on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing and MaxMSP). The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled; the open-source IDE can be downloaded for free at https://arduino.cc

Bug reports and technical discussions
-
To report a bug in the software or to request a simple enhancement go to Github Issues
-
More complex requests and technical discussion should go on the Arduino Developers mailing list
-
If you're interested in modifying or extending the Arduino software, we strongly suggest discussing your ideas on the Developers mailing list before starting to work on them. That way you can coordinate with the Arduino Team and others, giving your work a higher chance of being integrated into the official release
Installation
Detailed instructions for installation in popular operating systems can be found at:
- Linux (see also the Arduino playground)
- macOS
- Windows
Credits
Arduino is an open source project, supported by many.
The Arduino team is composed of Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe and David A. Mellis.
Arduino uses GNU avr-gcc toolchain, GCC ARM Embedded toolchain, avr-libc, avrdude, bossac, openOCD and code from Processing and Wiring.
