For details, see the +`release notes <http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ReleaseNotes>`_. + + + +Changes in Arduino 0017 +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + +- **Environment**: The code base for the Arduino development + environment was largely re-written to bring it back into sync with + Processing (1.0.3). The main differences include support for + multiple sketch windows open simultaneously and a dedicated window + for the serial monitor. + + +- **Icons**: The icons and about images were updated. + + +- **Arduino.app**: The Mac OS X version of Arduino is now a .app + file packaged in a .dmg. + + +- **Libraries**: Support was added for third-party libraries in + the *SKETCHBOOK*/libraries directory. This allows user-installed + libraries to persist across upgrades of the Arduino software. + + +- **Servo**: The servo library was rewritten to allow support for + up to 12 servos (on any pins) and up to 48 on the Mega. + + +- **LiquidCrystal**: The begin(), cursor(), noCursor(), blink(), + noBlink(), display(), noDisplay(), scrollDisplayLeft(), + scrollDisplayRight(), autoscroll(), noAutoscroll(), leftToRight(), + rightToLeft(), and createChar() functions were added. + + + +Changes in Arduino 0016 +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + +- New functions for writing a string, write(str), or buffer, + write(buf, len), were added to the Print, Serial, and Ethernet + library Client and Server classes. + + + +Changes in Arduino 0015 +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + +- Support for the Arduino Mega. + + + +Changes in Arduino 0013 +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + +- Support for printing floats was added to the Print, Serial, and + Ethernet library Client and Server classes. + + +- The word type and word(), bitRead(), bitWrite(), bitSet(), + bitClear(), bit(), lowByte(), and highByte() functions were added. + + + +Changes in Arduino 0012 +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + +- Added the Firmata library, which provides a standard protocol + for serial communication. + + +- Added Ethernet library. + + +- Added Servo library. + + +- Added LiquidCrystal library. + + |
