The Arduino IDE has an auto update capability. A new version is checked for on every startup, and if available the user
is offered an update.
Although this update can usually be done automatically by the IDE, under some conditions this is not possible. For
example:
- The IDE package in use does not support auto update (i.e., Linux ZIP package)
- The file could not be downloaded due to a transient network service outage
In this case, the user is presented with a friendly dialog that explains the situation and links to the "Software" page
on arduino.cc, where the user can manually download and install the new version.
During the pre-release development phase of the project, the download links for Arduino IDE 2.x were on a sub-section of
the "Software" page. For this reason, the linked URL included the fragment identifier `#experimental-software` so that
the page would load scrolled down to the anchor at that section of the page.
With the 2.0.0 release, the Arduino IDE 2.x project has graduated to a production development phase. For this reason,
the download links have been moved to the top of the "Software" page and the now inaccurate `experimental-software`
anchor removed from the page.
The previous link with that fragment is still perfectly functional, but the fragment to a non-existent anchor serves no
purpose and also miscommunicates the project status to users who notice the URL that was loaded. For this reason, it is
hereby removed from the link.
- Fixed scrollbar does not reach end of list widget.
- Estimated row heights to provide better scroll UX.
- Last item's `<select>` must be visible.

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.
Selecting "Help > Environment" from the Arduino IDE menus opens a page containing usage information for the Arduino IDE
application in the browser.
Previously, the URL used was the same as that of in Arduino IDE 1.x:
https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Environment
The documentation from that page was written for Arduino IDE 1.x. Even though the UI of the two versions is aligned for
the most part, some advancements made for the 2.x major version series resulted in some differences. This means that
documentation targeted at Arduino IDE 1.x is not always applicable to Arduino IDE 2.x.
Fortunately, documentation is now available for each major version series of the IDE. So resolution is only a matter of
pointing the menu item at the correct URL.
