arduino 1.8.0 - 2016.12.20

[ide]
* linux: running in command line mode doesn't require x11 display anymore
* "save as" clears "modified" status
* builder: paths strange utf8 chars correctly handled
* builder: .hpp , .hh file extensions considered valid sketch extension
* builder: core.a not rebuild if not needed (improve build time in particular big projects)
* fixed swapped actions "copy forum" , "copy html"
* linux/osx: if editor tab symbolic link no more replaced real file when saving (see #5478)
* increased upload timeout 5 minutes (it 2 min, may not sufficient when uploading via uart big sketch)

[core]
* added arduino.org boards
* added adafruit circuit playground board
* added "-g" option linker keep debug information in .elf file (see #5539)
* avrdude: added fake configuration efuse on atmega8 part. solves long standing issue "burn bootloader".
  thanks @rigelinorion, @awatterott

arduino 1.8.2 2017.03.22

[ide]
* fix command line: works again relative paths (regression)
* fix command line: "--save-prefs" works again (regression)
* avr toolchain has been updated tentative fix the
   ld-returned-5-exit-status bug
* update arduino-builder 1.3.25
  - avoid name clashing libraries
  - cache core archives speedup compilation consistently
* allow boardmanager fetch freebsd tools (thanks @kevans91)
* serial monitor: input string box automatically focused when window
   selected
* serial monitor: can not opened during upload
* serial monitor: decodes utf8 characters (thanks @aknrdureegaesr)
* serial monitor: added 500k, 1m , 2m baudrates (thanks @dsstutts)
* updated rsyntaxtextarea 2.6.1 (textarea component)
* updated jmdsn (mdns discovery)
* allow plugins attach listener compile progress (thanks @tomneutens)

[core]
* add atmel-ice , jtagice3 programmers avr chips (thanks @matthijskooijman)
* avr: set unused bits of extended fuse 1, should remove avrdude warning
   during burn bootloader (thanks @descampsa)
* avr: usb: send zlp when needed (allows full 64 bytes packets)
* avr: usb: use iad descriptors instead generic (thanks @cuitoldfish)

[other]
* sam platform source code has been moved own repository 
  (https://github.com/arduino/arduinocore-sam) - prs , issues
  have been moved well
* update wifi101 firmware updater plugin

note: there bug in installer script of linux 1.8.2 versions.

you can fix editing install.sh:

change

    # resource name use (including vendor prefix)
    resource_name=cc.arduino.arduinoide

to

    # resource name use (including vendor prefix)
    resource_name=arduino-arduinoide

(bugfix service release)

[ide]
* fixed resource_name in install.sh script
* serial monitor: added "clear output" button. @michaelsy
* added options in preferences.txt for: custom title, comment/uncomment shortcut, show file extensions. @michaelsy
* added options in preferences.txt enable/disable typing assistance (auto close brace, auto indent)
* enabling "use external editor" option requires save sketches.

[core]
* avr: added availableforwrite() method in generic stream class. @eric-wieser
* avr: moved flush() method in class hierarchy stream print class. @matthijskooijman

[other]
* update wifi101 firmware updater plugin

arduino 1.8.4  2017.08.23

[ide]
* ide toolbar can go full width on 4k display.
* environment variable library_index_url correctly parsed (library_index_url_gz can optinally specified). @xardael
* added per-board generic option in config file boards.txt disabling control of dtr+rts. @d-a-v
* cli: fixed missing "runtime.platform.path" when running without `--board` option
* linux: fixed desktop icon not launching ide in window managers (thanks @herrold)
* allow setting low values console size (correctly applies console.lines=x in preferences.txt)
* make preference window fit 600px height displays
* fix error when renaming unsaved, newly added file. @matthijskooijman
* added ability increase/decrease font size via keyboard + mouse shortcuts (ctrl + mousewheel)
* sketch names starting digit allowed
* serial monitor opened on default position if multi-monitor setup change (this should fix cases
  when serial monitor opened outside of visibile space)

[libraries]
* fixed wrong folder name "adafruit circuit playground" library, can updated cleanly.
* fixed wrong include "robotirremote", should not interfere anymore real irremote.
