I'm sorry, the new firmware don't support CoIDE because CoIDE will not maintain by official. You can use Keil now.
Sure, but Keil is not free...

This is not inline with the documentation and I agree with Kalon33, Keil is not free. Could you provide a project on an open and multiplatform IDE (eclipse, platformio)

The reason, why I bought it, was the option developing in CoIDE. Why you not support it. And if documentation mentioned support for CoIDE, is it that reason to get money back?
I'm guessing that the apparently dead product CooCox is not able to build the current version of the software or that there is some other valid reason for RAK dropping it, such as no one being at the other end to add support for the device or that RAK is tired of fielding complaints for a product they didn't produce and couldn't support if they wanted. Honestly, I'm kinda surprised that many people still seem to be using it after all this time.
Maybe it's time to try something else with a little more active support, such as Eclipse or Platformio, though it looks like Platformio may be headed down the same path as CooCox. From what I've seen, it appears that CooCox was based on Eclipse, so..... The 5205 is still a nice piece of hardware, So far it appears to be the best in class when it comes to low power usage.
I agree that the RAK5205 is a nice piece of hardware. Unfortunately the software quality of the firmware is not on the same level. It would be great if this firmware was rewritten using and supporting the native ST toolset, which is free to use (but requires registration): STM32CubeMX for initial boilerplate code generation and System Workbench for STM32 as IDE.
Have there been any updates on this? IS there a sample project for the RAK5205 for CooCox or for PlatformIO?
Contrary to what I was used to with RAK811 trackerboard, there's no demo coIDE project, whereas it is listed in manual.
