Arduino 1.8.12

release notes:
ARDUINO 1.8.12 2020.02.13

[ide]
* Reverted the bundled Java JRE to the latest freely redistributable Oracle JRE for all
platforms except:
- macOS (due to notarization)
- aarch64 (due to missing graphical support)

Switching to AdoptJDK demonstrated to be more challenging than expected, bringing in
some corner case bugs that were not being caught by our testing procedures:
- https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/labels/OpenJDK

To guarantee the best user experience we decided to revert to the latest working JRE
until all the issues are resolved.

* Improved visualization of compiler errors (@matthijskooijman)
* Fixed: "Comparison method violates its original contract" error in library manager
* Serial monitor is no more cleared during upload, so it can be copy/pasted (@PaulStoffregen)

[arduino-builder]
* FIX REGRESSION: library priority selection for bundled libraries (like SD or Ethernet)
* FIX REGRESSION: use AVR core installed via Board Manager (when present) instead of the one bundled in the IDE
* Improved precompiled libraries handling
* FIX: paths with spaces are now correctly printed in compiler output
 
@Paul - It is probably a good thing as I know you probably needed some other stuff to do. :D ;)

Hopefully from their release notes, this does not imply that 1.8.13 is really soon as well?
 
There's always more to do!

I was hoping to get OctoWS2811 and USB Audio running on Teensy 4.0 for the next release. Might look at those this weekend, but not going to hold up 1.51 if they're not working early next week.
