Everytime I start the Arduino IDE it complains that there is a newer version available. The current version in Yum is 022, which is two version behind the official (1.0) release. We need to update to this version.
Version 1.0 will be included with Fedora 17. If you're keen you can get it now with "sudo yum install fedora-release-rawhide && sudo yum --enablerepo=rawhide install arduino". Meanwhile, we should set Arduino not to notify the user of updates by default, by appending update.check=false to /usr/share/arduino/lib/preferences.txt.
I'll get the SRPM and rebuild it for F16 to test. Why wouldn't we push this to F16?
Code written for Arduino 022 isn't necessarily compatible with Arduino 1.0, so quietly pushing an update into Fedora 16 would cause unexpected problems for some users.
What code incompatibilities between versions are there? I'm not aware of any problems.
