## Deprecation notice

This is the final v5 release, fully compatible with the original GNU MCU/ARM Eclipse plug-ins.

## Install

### Eclipse Marketplace

The recommended way to update to the latest plug-ins is via the Eclipse Marketplace; search for Embedded CDT.

### Eclipse Update Sites

For those who prefer to install manually, the latest version is available via Install New Software from:

- `https://download.eclipse.org/embed-cdt/updates/neon/`

To get exactly this version, Install New Software from:

- `https://download.eclipse.org/embed-cdt/releases/5.2.1/p2/`

### Local install

For manual installs, the plug-ins are also available as regular archives, that can be downloaded locally and installed.

## Changes

Bug fixes:

- none

Enhancements:

- #419: Following valuable feedback from users, the default location for installing xPacks on GNU/Linux was changed from `$HOME/opt/` to `$HOME/.local/`. The search path logic was extended to support both locations. For consistency reasons, this new path was added to all search paths, on all platforms, and is now part of the recommended path for manually installed packages.

Developer changes:

- none

More details are available at GitHub milestone v5.2.1.

## Known problems

- Full support for the new `$HOME/.local` location on GNU/Linux proved to require a more elaborate logic, which will be implemented in v5.2.1.

## Release content

The following features and plugins are included in this release:
