1/23/17: New Firmware Library Manager
Hey everyone! We’ve got a big update to all of our IDEs (Web IDE, Desktop IDE, and CLI) that implements our brand new firmware library manager. The advantages of the new library manager are:
- Support in all our IDEs: Support for the Particle library manager in our web IDE, desktop IDE, and command line interface (CLI)
- Improved Arduino library compatibility: Most Arduino libraries can now be copy/pasted into our library manager without modification
- Libraries with dependencies: Add one library to your Particle project and if it requires others, they’ll be included automatically
- Verified libraries: Libraries that have been tested for ease-of-use and completeness by the Particle team to ensure a high quality development experience
- API access: Libraries can be accessed through the Particle Cloud API, so you can build plugins for other popular IDEs to access our firmware library manager
There’s a ton of great functionality in there, so be sure to check out our extended community post and our blog post for more details.
