*New Eclipse Arduino Open Source IDE Release "Toddler" brings Pro Development to Arduino
*
With the release of version 3 of the Eclipse Arduino product, nicknamed "Toddler" Project Lead Jan Baeyens brings us the next big step in professional development of the open hardware Arduino platform. The major features of this release are single install, auto library include and an incredibly good integrated serial monitor.

While a lot of Arduino hobbyist are perfectly fine with the official Arduino IDE, it lacks a lot of capabilities that the expert and professional developer need. Things like multiple open projects, multi files in one project, Task Management, version control Integration, Indexing, easy library development, code completion and many other things that developers take for granted when used to work with the Eclipse IDE.

Upon first activation, V3 downloads all low level libraries and machine interface code needed for smooth integration of the attached hardware. It is just a matter of installing the archive on any location (home directory, thumb drive, etc..) and starting the executable on all three major development platforms (Win, OSX and Linux), watching the dependencies being downloaded and starting the first "Sketch" but now in a multi-file project format.

After initialization, the IDE is equipped with support for hundreds of boards and hardware devices including a huge library of sample code to get devs started.

The Arduino eclipse plugin comes as a plugin and as a product. For download and installation instructions for both we refer to our website[1]

The code is open source and hosted on Github [2]
While the code is free (as in freedom), people can support the development team for a small fee on the Patron site [3] which will buy them priority support for their issues and pre-release of video's.

Below is the release planning
We released a video on the new and noteworthy [4]
18 march we will release the second video on new and noteworthy [5]
25 march we will release the third video on new and noteworthy [6]
1th of april we release Toddler and a video on how to upgrade your workspace from V2.4 to V3.
