- 1.5.5-r2 and older - Don't recognize libraries that have a library.properties` file that doesn't define a `core-dependencies` property. The file include is successful but compilation of sketches that use the library functions will fail.

- 1.5.6 and older - `-` or `.` are not allowed in sketch or library folder names. If any are present the Arduino IDE will hang indefinitely when it's executed.

- 1.6.2 - Moves its hardware packages to the .arduino15 folder, causing all other IDE versions to use those cores, some of which are not compatible. For this reason 1.6.2 has been removed from the default list of versions but may still be specified via the `IDE_VERSIONS` argument.

For this reason 1.6.2 is not installed when a version range containing, but not starting or ending in, 1.6.2 is passed to `install_ide'. 1.6.2 is installed if it is explicitly specified in a version list.
