Upstream:
- GitHub Desktop 3.6.8-beta3 release notes
- GitHub Desktop 3.6.8-beta4 release notes
- GitHub Desktop 3.6.8 release notes
Changes and improvements:
- [#293] You can now set the default editor to "Use system default program". This is useful in media-heavy repositories where you want to use the system-defined program when double-clicking a file in the changes list.
You can set this globally in "File > Options > Integrations > External Editor", or per-repository in "File > Repository Options > Integrations > Custom External Editor".
- [#297] You can now revert multiple commits at once.
Simply select the commits you want to revert in the history view, right-click, and select "Revert changes in commits".
- [#299] You can now cherry-pick commits to multiple branches at once.
Right-click on the commit you want to cherry-pick, select "Cherry-pick commit...", and then select the branches you want to cherry-pick to.
- [#292] Inverted the order of the "Pull all" and "Add" buttons in the repository list. This should reduce the number of accidental "Pull all" clicks for new users coming from GitHub Desktop.
Fixes:
None in this release.

Arduino Builder 1.0.13
Arduino Builder is a standalone utility for viewing, compiling and uploading Arduino sketch files and compiled ELF or HEX files to Arduino boards with the Arduino serial programming interface, Arduino ISP or USBasp, without the need for the Arduino IDE. The app has a standard user interface with drop down menus to choose the data you need. The functions of the utility can be undertaken in 3 steps. When compiling is required, for uploading sketch file, Arduino Builder scans the sketch for referenced libraries and then builds the necessary libraries automatically. The distribution package contains Arduino 1.0.4 core and library files, AVR GCC compiler toolchain and AVRDUDE. Please be aware that as only the standard Arduino libraries are shipped with the utility, if you want to build with custom libraries, then you will need to place the library source code files with the identical directory name into /arduino/libraries directory.
