Some Arduino boards have a supplemental hardware module that provides functionality separate from the primary
microcontroller the sketch program runs on.
Enhancements or fixes to the firmware that runs on these supplemental modules may be made over time so it is important
for the users of these boards to have an easy way to update the firmware. Arduino IDE provides a tool for doing this.
At the time the tool was created, the poor choice was made to include the names of the specific modules it supported at
the time in the tool's name. As was inevitable, that list has changed, rendering the tool name no longer accurate.
The immediate problem is that support has been added for updating the "bridge" and radio module on the UNO R4 WiFi. That
module is neither a "WiFi101" nor a "NINA", so the tool name does not reflect the support for the UNO R4 WiFi.
More significant changes in the supported modules are under way and will be introduced in the next release:
- Dropping support for the "WiFi101" module
- Adding support for the module on the Portenta C33 board
Rather than attempting to maintain a regularly changing and overly verbose name that includes the list of every
supported module, it is better to use a name for the tool that only describes its general purpose, leaving the task of
describing the specific supported modules to the documentation.
Added a new preference (`arduino.monitor.dockPanel`) to specify the
location of the application shell where the _Serial Monitor_ widget
resides. The possible values are `"bottom"` and `"right"`. The default\
value is the `"bottom"`.
The dock panel is per application and not per workspace or window.
However, advanced users can create the `./.vscode/settings.json` and
configure per sketch preference.

- Updated `@theia/*` to `1.37.0`.
- Fixed all `yarn audit` security vulnerabilities.
- Updated to `electron@23.2.4`:
- `contextIsolation` is `true`,
- `nodeIntegration` is `false`, and the
- `webpack` target is moved from `electron-renderer` to `web`.
- Updated to `typescript@4.9.3`.
- Updated the `eslint` plugins.
- Added the new `Light High Contrast` theme to the IDE2.
- High contrast themes use Theia APIs for style adjustments.
- Support for ESM modules: `"moduleResolution": "node16"`.
- Node.js >= 16.14 is required.
- VISX langage packs were bumped to `1.70.0`.
- Removed undesired editor context menu items. (Closes#1394)

The Arduino Sketch Specification defines the allowed format of sketch folder names and sketch code filenames. Arduino
IDE enforces compliance with the specification in order to ensure sketches created with Arduino IDE can be used with any
other Arduino development tool.
The Arduino Sketch Specification has been changed to allow a leading underscore in sketch folder names and sketch code
filenames so IDE's sketch name validation must be updated accordingly.
* Added a modifiable default sketch for new project
* Removed unused file
* WiP : Now nothing's working... :(
* yarn i18n:generate for the settings
* Updated the desription for markdown description.
* Lintered the code
* Remove undesirable whitespaces
* Applied kittaakos suggestions
* Removed extra whitespaces
* Fixed default `.ino` for the missings empty lines.
- IDE2 can start if the package index download fails. Closes#1084
- Split the lib and platform index update. Closes#1156

An "INSTALLED" label is shown on the items in the Library Manager and Boards Manager views that are currently installed
on the user's system.
During some work to add missing internationalization to the UI strings, this text was changed to "INSTALL". That text is
not appropriate for what this label is intended to communicate.
The regression is hereby corrected, while retaining the internationalization of the string.
Arduino IDE has been translated to several languages.
The localization process follows the following steps:
1. An English language source string is defined in the Arduino IDE codebase
2. The source string is pushed to Transifex
3. Community translators localize the string
4. The localization data is pulled into the Arduino IDE repository
5. The localization data is incorporated into the Arduino IDE distribution
Experience with maintenance of Arduino's localized projects indicates that the data files generated at step (4) can
appear to be the appropriate place to make edits for casual contributors not familiar with the project's sophisticated
internationalization infrastructure.
Since those files are generated by automated systems, any edits made there would only be overwritten, so it is important
to clearly communicate the correct way to make enhancements or corrections to these strings. This is accomplished by a
local readme file most likely to be seen by those working in the folder containing these files, which supplements the
existing information about translation in the project's translation guide.
* fix board selection and workspace input dialogs width and height
* use same dialog for new file and rename
* fix board list getting small when filtering
* board select dialog: show variant text when no board is found
* fix addition boards url outline
The board search input field of the "Select Other Board and Port" dialog uses placeholder text to explain the usage of
the field to the user.
All other placeholder text in the IDE's UI uses sentence case. This specific placeholder was the exception, using
unpleasant caps lock instead.
The inconsistency is resolved by changing the placeholder text to the standard sentence case.
The text of the Arduino IDE user interface has been localized to 12 languages.
Before localization can be accomplished, internationalization must be done in the application's code base:
- Set up infrastructure to export localization data
- Pass all target strings to that infrastructure
While the first of these tasks is completed, the second was not completed for several strings which are part of the user
interface.
Those outstanding strings are hereby internationalized and will be made available for localization.
* make dialogs scroll when scaling up the UI
* add unit of measure to settings step input
* wrap settings dialog items when scaling up the UI
* fix dialogs width when scaling up the UI
* rework board config UI to make it scale up better
* refactor ide updater dialog: move buttons outside the dialog content
* refactor ide updater dialog: clean-up code and rename events
* fix board config dialog title case and and remove double ellipsis
