| |
| ARDUINO 1.0 - 2011.11.30 |
| |
| [environment] |
| |
| * The file extension for sketches has changed from .pde to .ino, to avoid |
| conflicts with the Processing software ("ino" are the last three letters |
| in "Arduino"). |
| |
| * There are a new set of toolbar icons, including a checkmark icon to |
| verify (compile) a sketch and an arrow for upload. The serial monitor |
| icon has moved to the right of the toolbar. Also, shift-clicking the |
| upload icon now uploads using a programmer (selected in the Tools menu). |
| You can still enable verbose output in the preferences dialog. (Icons |
| were designed by Nicholas Zambetti.) |
| |
| * There’s a new color scheme and about image for the IDE (by ToDo.to.it). |
| |
| * The name of the currently selected board and serial port are now shown |
| at the bottom of the editor. (Code from Wiring.) |
| |
| * A progress bar is displayed during compilation and upload. (from Wiring.) |
| |
| [core / libraries] |
| |
| * Serial transmission is now asynchronous - that is, calls to |
| Serial.print(), etc. add data to an outgoing buffer which is transmitted |
| in the background. Also, the Serial.flush() command has been repurposed |
| to wait for outgoing data to be transmitted, rather than dropping |
| received incoming data. |
| |
| * The behavior of Serial.print() on a byte has been changed to align it |
| with the other numeric data types. In particular, it will now print |
| the digits of its argument as separate ASCII digits (e.g. '1', '2', '3') |
| rather than a single byte. The BYTE keyword has been removed. To send a |
| single byte of data, use Serial.write() (which is present in Arduino 0022 |
| as well). |
| |
| * The Serial class (as well as other classes inheriting from Stream, like |
| EthernetClient, SoftwareSerial, Wire and more) now contains functions |
| for parsing incoming data, based on the TextFinder library by Michael |
| Margolis. They include find() and findUntil() to search for data, |
| parseInt() and parseFloat() for converting incoming characters into |
| numeric values, and readBytes() and readBytesUntil() for reading |
| multiple bytes into a buffer. They use a timeout that can be set with the |
| new setTimeout(). |
| |
| * The SoftwareSerial class has been reimplemented, using the code originally |
| written for the NewSoftSerial library by Mikal Hart. This allows for |
| multiple simultaneous instances, although only one can receive at a time. |
| |
| * Support has been added for printing strings stored in flash (program |
| memory) rather than RAM. Wrap double-quoted strings in F() to indicate |
| that they should be stored in flash, e.g. Serial.print(F("hello world")). |
| |
| * The String class has been reimplemented as well, by Paul Stoffregen. This |
| new version is more memory-efficient and robust. Some functions which |
| previously returned new string instances (e.g. trim() and toUpperCase()) |
| have been changed to instead modify strings in place. |
| |
| * Support for DHCP and DNS has been added to the Ethernet library, thanks |
| to integration by Adrian McEwen. Most classes in the Ethernet library |
| have been renamed to add a "Ethernet" prefix and avoid conflicts with |
| other networking libraries. In particular, "Client" is now |
| "EthernetClient", "Server" is "EthernetServer", and "UDP" is |
| "EthernetUDP". A new IPAddress class makes it easier to manipulate |
| those values. |
| |
| * The UDP API has been changed to be more similar to other libraries. |
| Outgoing packets are now constructed using calls to the standard write(), |
| print(), and println() functions – bracketed by beginPacket() and |
| endPacket(). The parsePacket() function checks for and parses an |
| incoming packet, which can then be read using available(), read(), and |
| peek(). The remoteIP() and remotePort() functions provide information |
| about the packet’s origin. (Again, thanks to Adrian McEwen for the |
| implementation.) |
| |
| * The Wire library has also been modified to use the standard read() and |
| write() functions instead of send() and receive(). You can also use |
| print() and println() for outgoing data. |
| |
| * The SD library now supports multiple simultaneous open files. It also |
| provides the isDirectory(), openNextFile(), and rewindDirectory() |
| functions for iterating through all the files in a directory. (Thanks |
| to Limor Fried.) |
| |
| [boards / firmwares] |
| |
| * Added the Arduino Mini w/ ATmega328. |
| |
| * Added Windows drivers (.inf files) and 16U2 firmware (.hex files) for |
| the rev. 3 boards (Uno, Mega, and Mega ADK). |
| |
| [internals] |
| |
| * The WProgram.h file, which provides declarations for the Arduino API, |
| has been renamed to Arduino.h. To create a library that will work in |
| both Arduino 0022 and Arduino 1.0, you can use an #ifdef that checks |
| for the ARDUINO constant, which was 22 and is now 100. For example: |
| |
| #if defined(ARDUINO) && ARDUINO >= 100 |
| #include "Arduino.h" |
| #else |
| #include "WProgram.h" |
| #endif |
| |
| * The write(), print(), and println() functions in Stream now return a |
| size_t (instead of void). This indicates the number of bytes actually |
| written by the function. Any classes that inherit from Stream will need |
| to change accordingly. Additionally the write(str) function has been |
| given a concrete implementation – it calls write(buf, len) - so |
| sub-classes don't need to (and shouldn't) implement it. |
| |
| * There are new abstract base-classes for Client, Server, and UDP to |
| provide portability across networking libraries. |
| |
| * The pin definitions for the Arduino boards (i.e. the mappings from pin |
| numbers to port register / bit pairs) is now stored in a sub-folder of |
| a new variants/ folder in the hardware folder. The variant to use for |
| a given board is specified by the BOARD.build.variant preference in the |
| boards.txt file. |
| |
| * The new, variant-specific pins_arduino.h files now provides additional |
| macros with information about the characteristics of the board (e.g. |
| the locations of the SPI and TWI pins, and the number of digital and |
| analog pins). |
| |
| * The avrdude included with the Mac and Windows versions of the Arduino |
| software has been upgraded to avrdude 5.11 (from an Arduino-specific |
| version of avrdude 5.4). The software now uses the "arduino" programmer |
| type in place of "stk500v1" for uploading to most Arduino boards. |
| |
| ARDUINO 0023 - 2011.11.09 |
| |
| * Added .inf files for R3 boards. |

| isAlpha(), isAscii(), isWhitespace(), isControl(), isDigit(), isGraph(), |
| isLowerCase(), isPrintable(), isPunct(), isSpace(), isUpperCase(), |
| isHexadecimalDigit(), toAscii(), toLowerCase(), toLowerCase(). |
| http://code.google.com/p/arduino/issues/detail?id=418 |
| |
| * Added String.toInt() function. |
| |
| * Refactoring core to use register-based, not CPU-based, #ifdefs. |

| |
| [documentation / examples] |
| * Adding examples for Parallax Ping Sensor and Memsic 2125 accelerometer. |
| |
| [core / libraries] |
| * Adding support for the ATmega328. The upload speed is 57600 baud, so you |
| may need to edit boards.txt or reburn your bootloader if you bought an |
| ATmega328 w/ bootloader from adafruit or other supplier. |
| * Adding support for printing floats to Print class (meaning that it works |
| in the Serial, Ethernet, and LiquidCrystal classes too). Includes two |
| decimal places. |
| * Added word, word(), bitRead(), bitWrite(), bitSet(), bitClear(), bit(), |
| lowByte(), and highByte(); see reference for details. |
| * Working around problem that caused PWM output on pins 5 and 6 to never go |
| to 0 (causing, for example, an LED to continue to glow faintly). |
| * Removing cast macros, since function-style casts are a feature of C++. This |
| should fix contributed libraries that broke in Arduino 0012. |
| * Modifying pulseIn() to wait for a transition to start timing (i.e. ignoring |
| any pulse that had already started when the function was called). |
| * Fixing bug in random() that limited the ranges of values generated. Thanks |
| to Mikal Hart. |
| * Modifying delay() to pause for at least the given number of milliseconds. |
| * Fixing bug in Ethernet library that interfered with use of pins 8 and 9. |

| * Added a LiquidCrystal library based on the work in the playground. It |
| supports both 4- and 8-bit modes. |
| * Improved millis(): it now overflows after 49 days instead of 9 hours, but |
| now uses slightly more processing power. |
| * Fixed reversing direction bug in Stepper library. (Thanks to Wayne Holder.) |
| * Moved insertion of #include <WProgram.h> to after any comments and #include |
| statements in the main sketch file. This means that an #include <stdlib.h> |
| now works. |
| * Upgraded to newer versions of avr-gcc (4.3.0) and avr-libc (1.6). This |
| provides support for newer Atmel chips, but may increase the size |
| of sketches. |
| * Allowing per-board specification of the upload.using preference, allowing |
| upload via bootloader to some boards and via a programmer to others. |
| * Added return values to some functions in the Wire library to allow for |
| better error handling. |
| * Fixed random() to work with long values. |
| * Creation of an abstract Print base-class to allow Serial, SoftwareSerial, |
| and LiquidCrystal to share code for print() and println(). |
| * Incorporated ladyada's watchdog timer mods to the bootloader source, but |
| only compiling them in for the Pro and Pro Mini (because they are included |
| in the bootloader being burned on the boards by SparkFun). |
| |
| ARDUINO 0011 - 2008.03.28 |
| |
| * Fixed Find in Reference. |
| * Added map() function for mapping values from one range to another. |
| * Added analogReference() function. |
| * Added interrupts() and noInterrupts() functions. |
| * Added degrees() and radians() functions. |
| * Added timeout parameter (in microseconds) to pulseIn(); default is 1 second. |
| * Support for uploading sketch using a programmer. |
| * Improved detection of functions that need prototyping. |
| * Placing function prototypes after #include's and #define's. |
| * No longer moving #include statements to the top of the sketch. |
| * Can now drag .pde files onto the Arduino dock icon on Mac OS X. |
| Thanks to Peter Sgouros. |

| * Reorganization of the Arduino application directory. |
| |
| ARDUINO 0009 - 2007.08.06 |
| |
| * Added support for the Arduino Diecimila. |
| * Switched to using avrdude (instead of uisp) for uploading sketches. |
| * Added the ability to burn NG and Diecimila bootlaoders (with an AVRISPmkII). |
| * Fixed a bug in SoftwareSerial (a hardware serial function was being called |
| instead of the software serial equivalent). Thanks to brianbr for the |
| report and fix. |
| |
| ARDUINO 0008 - 2007.06.09 |
| |
| * Updated examples (in distribution and on the website). |
| * Added an EEPROM library (see reference for details). |
| * Added a Stepper motor library (see reference). |
| * Patched to reduce binary sketch sizes by building the Arduino core as |
| a library (.a) file - now only the needed parts of the core are linked into |
| a sketch. Originally written by Nicolas Roland, revised by Don Cross. |
| * Fixed bug in Serial.available(). Report and fix by Don Cross. |
| * Now recompiling libraries when switching microcontrollers. Report by |
| Julian Bleecker; fix by Nicholas Zambetti. |
| * Cleaned up core functions: moved pin definitions into program space to save |
| RAM, and other minor improvements. Contributed by Jim Studt. |
| * Lots of reference additions and fixes from Paul Badger. |
| * Changed default microcontroller to ATmega168 from ATmega8. |
| * Removed the delay from analogRead(). |
| * Activating TWI/I2C pullup resistors on the ATmega168 (in addition to the |
| ATmega8). |
| |
| ARDUINO 0007 - 2006.12.25 |
| |
| * Smaller core (about 3.5 KB instead of 4.5 KB). |
| * Added a SoftwareSerial library (thanks to Antonio, Heather Dewey-Hagborg, and |
| bigengineer for their help). |
| * Implemented a Serial.flush() routine; see reference for details. |
| * Digital pins 0 and 1 can be used for i/o until a call to Serial.begin(). |
| * Replaced avr-lib's uart routines with custom code for handling serial |
| communication and modified C++ serial commands to call the C serial commands; |
| the code may behave slightly differently in border cases (e.g. non-standard |
| speeds, or on overflow). |
| * Added attachInterrupt() and detachInterrupt() functions for handling of |
| external interrupts on pins 2 and 3. |
| * Implemented shiftOut() routine; see reference for details. |
| * Defining binary constants: e.g. B1010 is 6. |
| * Mac versions no longer require running of the macosx_setup.command script. |
| * Windows version comes with the FTDI USB drivers already unzipped. |
| * New Linux binary distribution (still requires some programs to be |
| pre-installed). |
| |
| ARDUINO 0006 - 2006.10.21 |
| |
| * Mac version no longer requires Java 1.5, meaning it should run on 10.3.9. |
| * Added support for analog inputs 6 and 7 and pwm on pins 5 and 6 on the |
| on the ATmega168 used in the Arduino Mini (extra analog inputs not available |
| in DIP ATmega168s). |
| * You now select the baud rate for the serial monitor from within the editor |
| status bar when the serial monitor is running instead of from the Tools menu. |
| * Pressing enter within the serial monitor edit box no longer appends a newline |
| to the message sent to the board. |
| * Included the Wire (TWI) library from Wiring. |
| * Updated the reference. |
| |
| ARDUINO 0005 - 2006.09.26 |
| |
| * Applied patch from Hans Steiner to improve Linux support by searching for avr |
| tools in the user's path instead of expecting them at a fixed location. |
| * Added an upload.verbose preference for help in debugging. |
| * ATmega168 support! |
| * New Wiring-compatible randomSeed(), random(max) and random(min, max) functions |
| (except operating on longs instead of floats). |
| * Fixed bug that sometimes caused uploading of old versions of a sketch. |
| * Serial monitor nows include an interface to send messages to the Arduino |
| board. Pressing return appends a newline, pushing the send button doesn't. |
| * Now displaying "burning bootloader..." and "compiling..." status messages. |
| |
| ARDUINO 0004 - 2006.04.26 |
| |
| * Main sketch is now compiled as C++ (instead of C). |
| * Updated avr toolchain. |
| * printInteger(), printHex(), etc. now handle longs. |
| * millis() fixed (now overflows after days, not minutes) |
| * Fixed path to java in Windows run.bat. |
| * Added Matrix and Sprite libraries (written with Nicholas Zambetti). |
| * PWM now working on pin 11 (in addition to pins 9 and 10). |
| * Slowed PWM frequency (on all three PWM pins) to 1KHz. |
| * Now give an error if compiled sketch is too big. |
| * Fixed abs(), min(), max(), and constrain() macros. |
| * Added menu items to the IDE to burn bootloader. |
| * Now display binary sketch size on upload, and give error if too big. |
| * Added C++ serial library. |
| * Resynced with Processing/Wiring IDE code (improved auto-format, faster logging |
| to serial monitor console, other bug fixes) |
| * New library system. |
| * Updated to latest version of the RXTX serial library; Mac users will need to |
| rerun macosx_setup.command. |
| |
| ARDUINO 0003 - 2006.01.16 |
| |
| API Changes |
| * Reversed the analog input pins to correspond to newer boards. This means |
| a call, for example, to analogRead(0) must be changed to analogRead(5) in |
| order to read the same physical pin. |
| * Added a printNewline() function (which sends '\n' = ASCII 10). |
| |
| New Stuff |
| * Reference is included (features native to C not yet documented). |
| * Serial monitor added (click the toolbar button to turn it on or off). Baud |
| rate is controlled by the Serial Monitor Baud Rate Menu, defaults to 9600. |
| Icon and implementation from Wiring. |
| * Serial port menu now automatically refreshes when opened. |
| * New blue color scheme and icons courtesy of Noah Shibley (colors are hardcoded |
| into the source to ensure consistency with image files). |
| * Keyspan and FTDI USB drivers included with Mac and Windows distributions. |
| |
| Bug Fixes |
| * millis() now updates every millisecond instead of every second. |
| * Bootloader included with Windows distribution (it was already in the Mac |
| dist). |
| * Updated icon of the Windows executable. |
| * Now flushing the serial port before uploading (should fix some errors). |
| * Improved accuracy of the delayMicroseconds() function. |
| |
| Other |
| * Upload rate no longer selectable from a menu within the IDE. Instead, edit |
| the serial.download_rate item in the preferences.txt file. |
| * Created Xcode project for building Arduino on the Mac (doesn't yet regenerate |
| the grammar files or package the distribution); active target should be "App". |
| * Removed unused or unimplemented items from menus. |
| |
| ARDUINO 0002 - 2005.10.05 |
| |
| * New build process no longer uses makefiles; now controlled by preferences.txt. |
| * core/ replaced with targets/; can now link against Wiring libraries. |
| * Replaced print() with printString, printInteger, printHex, printByte, etc. |
| * Added menu for selecting serial port speed. |
| * Updated icon. |
| * Bootloader shrunk to less than 1 KB; fuses updated accordingly. |
| * Added serialRead(), serialAvailable(), and delayMicroseconds(). |
| |
| ARDUINO 0001 - 2005.08.25 |
| |
| * This is the first released of the unified IDE + language library |
| it's a terrible hack... but it works. at the moment it's in alpha stage |
| but it can be used to work. |
| * The processing preprocessor is included but not used. |
