Sad to see #769 got pushed back to rc5. If they still haven't done it by the time we release 1.57, maybe I'll try to communicate with them about it. But from the many other issues, seems they have their hands full.
Do you see any reason to update the experimental package we have already? Without #769, kinda seems like best course is to just wait.
Hard to say. As I know you must have lots of free time :lol:
I would say when we are ready for a new beta build, it would be good thing at that point. For me as long as the stuff I am playing with has a USB type that includes Serial, than you can do most things... Although for major things I still much prefer to build within sublime text.... And I am setup for being able to do Serial with the USB types I have been working on.
One area it might be a good thing to have a new release, is the examples. Two fold:
a) The new IDE was not showing examples with files with extensions .pde... Which I know you recently made a pass through to change all of yours to .ino...
b) The top level Teensy examples do not show up, as you don't have an easy place to hack up this list. As I mentioned in the issue: https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues/869
I know that the majority of other board types do this, by installing a dummy library, with a name like "Teensy", where they have dummy source file, and then all of their platform specific examples. I hacked up on on my machine which works. Would maybe suggest some special name like start with 0 or the like as to get it to top of sorted list.
