Oh, another not necessarily next update, but sometime in the future possible feature, breakpoints... so that you can get a better idea of where your code is failing
That absolutely requires special hardware, or REALLY complicated software and firmware
... >.> didn't think about that one in regards to hardware and software integration
That would definately be useful. There are already files for some of the AVRs (ATtiny 45, ATtiny 85 and ATtiny 84, if I remember correctly). The only problem is that they are not included in the IDE hardware section...
Although it might take a long time to create the files, there are some microcontrollers that I would love to be able to use with the arduino, and I'm sure other people feel the same. The ATMega8535-16PU is one that I would like to use, but I cannot find any hardware files for it.
I use tabs in my project, and the "Find"-function don't look from other than active tab only... That would be nice option if it could search from the whole project. Or does it already?
I still wish at least the compiled .hex file was saved into the sketch's application folder rather then having to search for it in the temp directories.

I keep seeing Line Numbers come up - don't folks realize that they show up already?
I have used that to help in my debugging when the error messages indicate an error in a line
Yes but that's still not as good as having a number on every line. I find say I get an error on line 2396, now I have to scan down the page clicking in a dozen places until I land on the right line. Much easier to just look at the left column.
CrossRoads:
But doesn't the compiler usually highlight the line the error was on?
The compiler doesn't, Arduino IDE does, and it only highlights the first error. Other IDEs will let you double click on an error to goto that line but Arduino cannot do this.
Alright, my installation is hosed - can't even start the compiler, can't find "avr-gcc".
Need to get my taxes done than go clean up my files. Think I hosed things getting the sanguino files put in the right place and discovered -0021 wasn't sitting where I thought it was, but in some virtual c:/program files instead.
One more thing to add to the to-do list ....

More than just the .hex file, the .elf file would be useful too. For example, with AVR-Project-IDE, there's a dedicated window that will let you disassemble a compiled .elf file to see the corresponding assembly code for your C code.

Lefty
+1000 to this. Big time. The fact I have to go hunt down the hex file every time I want to compile and flash is causing me huge headaches and wastes of time.
Why was this changed in the first place? Can we have the option to re-enable it PLEASE!!!
