Identifier is not defined

After today's update of Arduino for Visual Studio I get an "Identifier is not defined" error at the serial command.

e.g.: Serial.begin(115200);
or: Serial.print("Left1: "); 

These commands worked flawless before the update to 1707.30. I can't compile the project anymore that i've compileled a hundred times before. It seems something is broken now. 

Is there a way to downgrade to the previous version of vMicro? 

BTW:
I can compile the project with the Arduino IDE.

Hi,

There is an update due over the next hour with a fix but when you post it really helps if you say which board and arduino ide version you are using.

It's also best to post the compiler error thanks

Thanks

Hi,

I suspect you are using a mega2560, Nano or Mini board. There was an issue in this mornings version which has been resolved in the latest update. You should see the update in the gallery as usual?

Let me know if that resolves or please post the info requested previously.

This was a build property issue which could also have affected intellisense.

Thanks for the post
