[Version 1] Arduino 0019(rc1) + Teensyduino 0.9-alpha7

[Paul Stoffregen]

Arduino 0019 is getting very close. A first release candidate recently appeared. Here's the files:

Mac OS X: http://arduino.googlecode.com/files/arduino-0019-rc1.dmg

Windows: http://arduino.googlecode.com/files/arduino-0019-rc1.zip

Linux (32-bit): http://arduino.googlecode.com/files/arduino-0019-rc1.tgz

Here's an updated Teensyduino to support 0019-rc1:

I've done some quick testing on Linux, Mac and Windows XP and everything seems to work. Haven't tried Win 7 yet...

A long-standing and annoying but harmless bug has been occasional false warnings that Teensy Loader was busy, when in fact it programmed the board perfectly. I made some changes to the way the reboot request is sent which might finally fix this. If you give this latest code a try, especially on any version of Windows, please be on the watch for that false warning and let me know if it's still coming up.
