	HOT: Using a project_name.ino will override all .ino files and build the live sources instead of a temp copy. A project_name.ino must still exist, can be empty and will be ignored by the build. Support [project_name].cpp as an alternative to .ino files. NOTE: A project_name.ino MUST still exist in the project folder and project. The ino can be empty and is ignored by the compiler when a project_name.cpp exists in the project. Visual Micro requires the project_name.ino to determine the project is an Arduino project. When using a project_name.cpp instead of .ino files, the build is performed on the live project sources instead of a copy in the temporary folder. The compiler include paths will contain the path of the project folder instead of the path of the temp build folder. by popuar request To make use of the "vMicro>Debugger>Use Atmel Studio Debugger" facility it is hightly recommended that a project_name.cpp is used instead of .ino files. The Atmel debuger doesn't work well with projects that contain .ino source code and will display code from the temp folder during a debug "step/break" operation which is highly confusing for users. When using a "project_name.cpp", all the arduino build rules remain in place. Libraries must be #included using the standard Arduino #include <lib.h> syntax (no qualified paths). When using a "project_name.ino", the "Add Library" facility will add demo #includes to the "project_name.ino". The #includes are ignored because the .ino is ignored, however it is useful to see the correct #include syntax for each library which can be copied into .cpp files as required. Support new Arduino library.properties property called "includes". The "includes" property enables library developers to control which headers are #included when the "Add Code>Add Library" command is used. When using a project_name.cpp it must serve the most basic of arduino code for the project to compile correctly. 1) #include "Arduino.h" 2) void setup() {} 3) void loop() {}. The setup() and loop() must have prototypes. To find a "ready made" project_name.cpp with the correct code for the current Arduino project switch on "vMicro>Compiler>Show Build Folder" then build. The build output will contain a link to the build folder and in the folder will be a project_name.cpp. Copy the project_name.cpp into the current project and the .ino files will no longer be used during builds. The core variant objects are no longer archived into a core.a, instead are passed as .o files to the linker before the core.a Compiler - Library source modification always uses .d dependancy scanning and more relianbly detects changes to #included headers Serial more robustly uses the DTR and RTS settings even when testing to see if a port is busy/available or not. The usb driver of the WICD stm32 board hangs if this doesn't happen. The WICED board needs DTR and RTS ON Serial Monitor open/close more resiliant (feedback in forum appreciated) General compiler cache improvements Toggle Hidden Files now includes all variant files (previously just showed headers) Honour libraryproperties.includes to determine which headers are added when using "Add LIbrary" Fixed issues that caused board settings such as defines to fail to refresh when switching between configurations such as Debug/Release Reintroduced new version dialog notification for major updates (if check for new releases has not been disabled) Tested with various STM32 boards such as Adafruit WICED Fix: "Deep Search toggle" menu command configured the startup project instead of active project. If the "project" is not an arduino project the command is not displayed.
