Help testing Deviot 2.0

Hi everyone!,

I have been working in the version 2 of Deviot. Now I’m ready to to receive feedback of this version, there are still some features not ready, but I think you can use without problem with most of your projects.

The plugin has been written from scratch, so maybe there is not much new features, but I hope this version is more consistent and with less bugs. Plus the code now is more organized, this is really good to maintain the plugin!.

To install this version read Install developer version but instead of use the developer branch use:

https://github.com/gepd/Deviot/tree/deviot_2

• Quick bar, access to all deviot features easily

Features NOT implemented Yet:

Fixed that erros in the console (there was not related with symlink)

• I’ve installed Arch Linux and I had checked the problem, I’ve also push a fix for that. I’ve test the installation with PlatformIO already in the machine and without it. (@jwhendy)

Please confirm you haven’t problem too

• Plus I’ve added a new option in Options > Rebuild Boards Files for the cases when boards.js is corrupt. And the way as that file was being generated was improveed too.

If you can’t see the new option your menu go to Language and select your current language to regenerate the menu file.

Confirming that #64 seem to be alright so far. I’m on arch linux with /usr/bin/python --> /usr/bin/python3.6 so Deviot is picking up python2 nicely (I had to change the symlink previously every time I used it). This is the first time in a long while I’ve been able to build/upload from Deviot vs. using platformio directly. Thanks!
