Uploading using BIN file

Development Tools IDE 2.x

I would like to know if there is an option to upload using the BIN file.

On previous IDE version I had to create a batch file to share the binary with share the source files. It is important for production also.

Any novelty in this area in the near future?

I think Arduino CLI will be well suited for this purpose:

You can specify a binary file to upload via the --input-file flag of the arduino-cli upload command:
