How to install Blynk library.
☝️ **Blynk library should be installed manually**
Follow the instructions:
1. Download **Blynk_Release_vXX.zip** (scroll down to the Downloads section)
2. Unzip the archive. You will notice that archive contains several folders and several libraries.
3. Copy all of these libraries to your_sketchbook_folder of Arduino IDE. To find the location of your_sketchbook_folder, go to top menu in Arduino IDE:
Windows: File → Preferences
Mac OS: Arduino → Preferences
The structure of your your_sketchbook_folder should now look like this, (*along with your other sketches if you have them*):
your_sketchbook_folder/libraries/Blynk
your_sketchbook_folder/libraries/BlynkESP8266_Lib
...
your_sketchbook_folder/tools/BlynkUpdater
your_sketchbook_folder/tools/BlynkUsbScript
...
☝️ **Note that**:
- all libraries should go to libraries folder
- all tools should go to tools folder
In this release
- **New hardware support:**
* **ESP32**
* **[Bluetooth LE](https://community.blynk.cc/t/beta-esp32-ble-initial-support/19908)** initial support + example
* SSL (secure connection) support + example
* App Export example for ESP32 (with WiFi credentials provisioning)
* **ESP8266**
* SSL stability improvement (still not perfect due to [a bug in ESP Core](https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/issues/3002))
* SSL now checks certificate chain (previously fingerprint was used). Needs [2.4.0-rc2](https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/releases/tag/2.4.0-rc2)
* **BIG stability improvements** in Shield mode (AT commands)
* Realtek **RTL8710** / Ameba support
* Arduino [**UNO WiFi**](https://store.arduino.cc/arduino-uno-wifi) support
* WIZnet **WizFi310** support
* Improved **ARM mbed** support
* Improved **Linux** support
* All frameworks are now enabled for **Platform.IO** library
- **General improvements**
* **Forget about “flood errors”. Probably ;)**
* Library is now easier to port/run on 3rd party hardware
* We now use a single implementation of **BlynkFifo**
* Better diagnostic/debug prints
* NeoPixel lib is no longer included in Blynk release zip package.
- **Bugfixes:**
* Unexpected "Login timeout" during redirect (374)
* 100% CPU load on linux/raspberry
* Compile Error with Arduino 101 (369). Please keep in mind that 304 is still there...
* Call `BLYNK_DISCONNECTED()` on unsuccessful write (371)
* RFDuino uses BLEPeripheral now
* Travis CI build is fixed
[PlatformIO](http://platformio.org/lib/show/415/Blynk), [Particle](https://build.particle.io/libs/blynk/), [ARM mbed](https://os.mbed.com/users/vshymanskyy/code/Blynk/) and [OpenWRT](https://github.com/vshymanskyy/blynk-library-openwrt) packages have been updated accordingly.
