Arduino throws a lot of warnings to stdout (stderr) when using Arduino_STM32 about arduino_stm32 HOT 4 CLOSED

umm

Can you retest
I've added empty boards.txt files to tools, drivers and examples and as far as I can see

stm32f4stamp.name=STM32F4Stamp F405

now exists

Note the platform.txt deprecated stuff is correct

If I change it, any IDE version before 1.6.2 would cease to work.

However I will poll the users on stm32duino.com and find out if everyone is happy to no longer support older ide versions

from arduino_stm32.

Hello Roger,

The issue is only about the tool generating some warnings. Things were still working. Many warnings have been fixed:
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS:
Loading configuration...

You're right about asking users if they still want to see support for older Arduino versions. Let's hope that they favor breaking compatibility so that you don't have to drag old junk along until eternity.

No worries.

All the votes so far have been to move to only supporting the newer versions of the IDE.

So I should be able to go ahead and change this.

However I will give the poll some more time, as I think only 10 people voted so far

from arduino_stm32.

The repo now runs on IDE 1.6.9 with virtually no warnings, and I will soon remove 1.6.5 support so that we do not get any warnings at all
