+Changes
+=======
+
+This page lists major changes to the Arduino core, libraries, and
+environment. 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.
