Why does the arduino ide want contact with arduino.berlios.de when i start it up?
ver. 11 on mac os x
It's a holdover from Processing, which checks if there's a newer version of the IDE available for download. We changed the URL, but didn't actually implement the feature and never bothered to remove it.
Aha,
little snitch showed it to me this evening. since i've installed it, I learn all sorts of things...
