v0.5.0

• Includes pico-sdk v1.5.0, pico-examples v1.5.0, picotool 1.1.1, openocd 0.12.

• Visual Studio Code is now downloaded and installed at runtime.
• Many additions and fixes to the Visual Studio Code configuration included with pico-examples:
  • A CMake kit definition is included in the project (cmake-kits.json) so there is no need to 'Scan for kits.'

  • Default generator set to Ninja.
  • Set the CMake build task as the default build task invoked by VS Code.
  • Added a Flash task.
• Many fixes to get a proper system-wide install (registry entries in HKLM, nothing in user's Documents anymore.)

• Previous installations of the same SDK version will now be uninstalled automatically before proceeding.

v0.3.8

Changes since the last release:

• Added an uninstaller
• The pico-sdk-tools CMake package is now versioned, to allow side-by-side installation of multiple SDK versions in the future
• Removed the version number from the .exe filename, to enable a stable download URL for the latest release

v0.3.7-test6

Changes in this release:

• Primarily just a fix for the VS Code shortcut that didn't work in the previous release.
• Some paths cleaned up so there's fewer loose files in the user's Documents\Pico-v1.4.0 folder.

v0.3.6-test5

Changes since the last release:

• Single shortcut for VS Code that opens pico-examples on first invocation, and a blank instance subsequently
• On clicking the VS Code shortcut, the terminal window now only flashes briefly and then goes away
• Consistent naming for all shortcuts
• Updated OpenOCD included in the installer

v0.3.6-test4

Changes from the last test build:

• Added settings.json to the pico-examples repo
• Code cleanup, reorganization, and removed some un-needed checks and installers

Additional OpenOCD build based on 0.12.0-rc2 plus:

• https://review.openocd.org/c/openocd/+/7276
• https://review.openocd.org/c/openocd/+/7238
• https://review.openocd.org/c/openocd/+/7239
• https://review.openocd.org/c/openocd/+/7241
• https://review.openocd.org/c/openocd/+/7242

v0.3.6-test3

Changes from the last test build:

• OpenOCD v0.12.0-rc2 is included.
• A pre-built binary of picotool is included.
• A more usable launch.json for VS Code is included with the pico-examples repo.
• Tool binaries are now installed to Program Files; repos are copied to Documents/Pico.
• Reverted to using the default text editor to open ReadMe.txt instead of Notepad; the "open with..." popup was/is only shown when running the installer on a fresh Windows install where a text file has never been opened.
• Much, much improved build with all build scripts included.
• x86-64 only as the Ninja project only releases 64-bit binaries for Windows.

Known issues:

• Icons and branding is wonky.
• Pico-project-generator GUI does not start because of the embedded/minimal distribution of Python that we have included.
