Development Tools IDE 2.x
1

A new release of Arduino IDE 2.x is now available for download here:

https://www.arduino.cc/en/software#experimental-software

This release adds two important features to the new IDE.

Firmware and certificate update tools

You will find the Tools > WiFi101 / WiFiNINA Firmware Updater menu item you may be accustomed to using in the classic Arduino IDE for updating the Wi-Fi radio firmware on Arduino boards.

In addition to a nicer UI, the Arduino IDE 2.x's tool has the capability to download firmwares from the Internet. So the full list of available versions will always be available!

The certificate uploader tool is now available via Tools > Upload SSL Root Certificates in the IDE's menus.

Manually installed platforms

Manually installed Arduino boards platforms are now supported.

Although the existing Boards Manager feature is the best way to install and update release versions of boards platforms, the hardware subfolder of the sketchbook is a convenient place to store platforms used for development, beta testing, and experimentation.

These will now be recognized by Arduino IDE 2.x just the same as the classic IDE.

Full changelog here:

If you have any questions or feedback please post here in the IDE 2.x's dedicated forum category:

Hey gang. It seems that Preferences->Editor Quick Suggestions is not being saved in beta 10 and beta 11 on my laptop. I enable it, click OK to leave the prefs windows, re-open prefs and it's cleared.

the gui is hard to add library or other things.
The autocomplete feature can be used by setting in reference meanwhile the set can not be saved.
lanching software is slower than version one.

This is a known bug being tracked at the issue I linked to in my previous reply.

I'd be interested in hearing specific details about what you found difficult. There are some known issues being tracked in the issue tracker, but it's surely not comprehensive.

Good news about this bug. It has now been fixed:

It is currently only available from the nightly build:
https://www.arduino.cc/en/software#nightly-builds
but it will be in the next release.

Well needed update to the IDE.
Only a couple of things I would like to comment about.
On the current IDE you can select code and then right click and chose comment/uncomment I noticed this is no longer there.
For some odd reason Webroot security recognizes it as a virus and want to remove it.

There was another report of a virus detection here:

There is a formal request for that missing feature here:
