We are excited to announce that Zerynth Studio 2.0 has been launched!

WARNING for existing users: Moving from Zerynth r1.0.* to version r2.0.0 some precautions must be taken to avoid incurring in compatibility issues. More info in the section Migration Guide of the documentation.

Toolchain
An important new Zerynth element has been introduced, the Zerynth Toolchain (ZTC).
The ZTC allows managing all the aspects of the typical Zerynth workflow. It can be used with a command line interface, like the common Linux, Windows or Mac terminals, or it can be integrated with a custom IDE.
You can find more info in the dedicated section of the documentation.
Documentation
The Zerynth 2.0 documentation is accessible at docs.zerynth.com
Improved readability. We’ve added an index on the left of the page, so you can now walk through the documentation jumping from section to section without returning to the main page.
Improved content search. You can now search terms inside all the doc, and not only within the specific section you’re reading.
New supported boards
Redbear Nano BLE 2 and Blend BLE 2, as announced during the RedBear Kickstarter campaign.
Arduino/Genuino Zero. It’s now possible to program in Python for Arduino Zero, the most voted board in our latest survey.
You can find all the other boards yet supported in the table on this page.
Zerynth Connector
The Zerynth Connector is the next Zerynth big thing: a device manager that will be compatible with many cloud providers (like Azure, Kinetis, Bluemix, Amazon), exposing a simple API based interface for data gathering, actuation and mobile integration.
Zerynth App
We are also working to make the Zerynth App the definitive tool for prototyping UI for connected devices. The update will be released directly with the official release of Zerynth 2.0.0.
