[solved] board update offers old version

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Hi,
recently I got a message from the Arduino IDE 1.6.12 that updates are available for boards.
Because I have problems with compiling sketches for my Arduino Due I wanted to update the boards info for Due. The problem is, that during compiling a very simple sketch, an error message comes up that the board is unknown - see my posting in the forum Products / Arduino Due, 11. May 1917.

The installed version in my IDE for SAM controller (Due boards) ist 1.6.10, but the latest version offered was 1.6.9, i.e. older than the installed one.

When the IDE offers updates I am expecting that there are newer versions than the installed one.

Is it normal behaviour that elder versions are offered for update or is something wrong with the update mechanism in my IDE?

Info and tips are very welcome

The newest version of Arduino SAM Boards is 1.6.11 so it makes sense that you would get update notifications if you have 1.6.10 installed. You should be able to update to 1.6.11 by clicking the "Update" button.
