Arduino 1.6.6 shows Error after installing ESP-Boards

[tommyfranke]

After installing the ESP-Stable Package with Boardmanager in the new Arduino IDE 1.6.6 it shows the following Error (Messages are translated by me, cause they were originally in german):
Warning: platform.txt of Kernel 'ESP8266 Modules' contains abandoned recipe.ar.pattern

If i load any script it shows five times this error:

Invalid Library D:\Arduino\runtimeIDE\arduino-1.6.6\portable\packages\esp8266\hardware\esp8266\1.6.5-947-g39819f0\libraries\esp8266 at D:\Arduino\runtimeIDE\arduino-1.6.6\portable\packages\esp8266\hardware\esp8266\1.6.5-947-g39819f0\libraries\esp8266 detected

If i compile it shows this Errors:

Warning: platform.txt of Kernel 'ESP8266 Modules' contains abandoned recipe.ar.pattern="{compiler.path}{compiler.ar.cmd}" {compiler.ar.flags} {compiler.ar.extra_flags} "{build.path}/{archive_file}" "{object_file}" and was converted to recipe.ar.pattern="{compiler.path}{compiler.ar.cmd}" {compiler.ar.flags} {compiler.ar.extra_flags} "{archive_file_path}" "{object_file}"

I can't compile anything because ot these Errors. With Arduino 1.6.5 everything was fine!!!?????

if its work for your cases you can use it, but OTA for example is sure broken.
the esp8266 library is no real library is only used for provide some examples to the user.
so the ide complains may about the missing library.properties and that there is no src files.

Thx Markus but i want more stability as possible , i ll come back.

Ooooooh pain, thanx for the answer. Would be good to anounce that Issue to save others time !!!!!

Readme has quite specific instructions about IDE version — it says "Install
Arduino 1.6.5 from the Arduino website."

@igrr Mea Culpa, sorry. I thought it is supported since the Boardmanager appeared in 1.6.5 and then on and on...

Keeping this open for now, because it has to be fixed anyway.

Seems like Esp8266 is not the only core that suffers from that new version. Core 'Arduino ARM (32-bits) Boards' do also, see post 18 from Arduino Forum:

About the warnings:

• The category WARNINGS are fixed upstream since 49bc812 and cc828e3
• The invalid library warnings can be fixed easily by putting a library.properties containing for example:

name=ESP8266
version=1.0
author=Ivan Grokhotkov
maintainer=Ivan Grokhtkov <ivan@esp8266.com>
sentence=ESP8266 sketches examples
paragraph=
category=Other
url=
architectures=esp8266

And by creating an src folder with a dummy blank header file in it.
The problem is it allows the dev to import the dummy .h file from the Include library menu. Not sure there's a better way.

• The recipe.ar.pattern warning can be fixed by replacing recipe.ar.pattern content with "{compiler.path}{compiler.ar.cmd}" {compiler.ar.flags} {compiler.ar.extra_flags} "{archive_file_path}" "{object_file}".
  archive_file_path was introduced in arduino/arduino-builder@35bdf40 and is therefore not backward compatible with 1.6.5.
