Other B4R v4.00 BETA

[Erel]

I'm happy to release a new BETA version of B4R. This update adds support for the latest version of Arduino IDE.
This version is 64 bit only.

Download link: https://www.b4x.com/b4r/files/beta.exe

Installation instructions:

1. Install latest version of Arduino IDE: https://www.arduino.cc/en/software
2. Install Arduino CLI (command line interface): https://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-cli/arduino-cli_latest_Windows_64bit.msi
3. B4R - Tools - Configure Paths: configure the path to arduino-cli.exe and javac. Java 8+ is supported.
4. Open the board manager and select the board.

I haven't tested all libraries so there might be some incompatibilities.

Looking forward, the dependency on an old version of a tool is bad. At some point things will break.
This is the real advantage - B4R works with the latest version of Arduino.

May just be a fluke, but I didn't have to load a library for the board I tried. The cli/ide (Arduino) seemed to recognise it starightaway and compiled file. ( Even using Java 22 )

Error today - i cannot choose the board:

Spoiler: Screenshot

I can translate the error something like "An entry with the same key already exists".
SOLVED: do not install in Arduino 2.x boards "Arduino ESP32 boards" together with "esp32 by Esspressif Systems" boards

"OK\cancel" buttons are invisible to save the paths (Win10, default system font size = 125%). Enter helps.
p.s. compilation by arduino-cli.exe - is OK THANKS !

Pull the borders of this window a little bit so it gets bigger. Then, the buttons will appear.

Latest days i've been working with new version. All is OK.
Excepting the result .bin files folder, inconvenient.

Will fix.

If possible,please put a button for program board separately so that there is no need to recompile the project.

I also find the button to just program the board without having to recompile very useful.
Having the file in a defined directory would be very useful and it would be possible for the information window to maintain its size and position each time it is compiled
Thank you so much
