Previously, the --board and --port arguments were stored in a variable first and only processed later. Now, the arguments are processed right away. This does mean that the arguments are processed when the GUI is not yet initialized, which caused problems with calling onBoardOrPortChange and friends from selectBoard. However, since the GUI is not initialized, there is no real reason to call them either - if we just set the preferences to the right values, the GUI will be initialized correctly later. For this reason, selectBoard no longer calls the GUI update methods. Instead, those are called from the GUI code when the board is changed through the menu instead (e.g., after calling selectBoard). This commit slightly changes behaviour. Previously, --board and --port only worked in combination with --verify and --upload, but were ignored when just starting the IDE. Now, these are processed regardless of the other options present. Additionally, this commit causes all changed preferences to be saved. Previously, only changes with --pref were saved, --board and --port options were only active for the current run. This was caused because the saving of the preferences happened as a side effect of loading the file in the Editor, but only the --pref option was processed at that time. Note that the --verbose options are still only active for the current run and are only valid combined with --verify or --upload (since they default to non-verbose instead of the current preference).
Arduino
-
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, MaxMSP). The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled; the open-source IDE can be downloaded for free.

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 https://groups.google.com/a/arduino.cc/forum/#!forum/developers
Installation
Detailed instructions are in reference/Guide_Windows.html and reference/Guide_MacOSX.html. For Linux, see the Arduino playground: http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Learning/Linux
Credits
Arduino is an open source project, supported by many.
The Arduino team is composed of Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe, Gianluca Martino, Daniela Antonietti, and David A. Mellis.
Arduino uses the GNU avr-gcc toolchain, avrdude, avr-libc, and code from Processing and Wiring.
