Add Arduino IDE required fields to library.properties #1

Closed per1234 closed 6 years ago

per1234 commented 6 years ago

When a required field is missing from library.properties the Arduino IDE does not recognize the library:

Sketch > Include Library > Add .ZIP Library fails silently.
Compilation of any code that includes the library fails.
After manual installation, "Invalid library" warnings are shown every time the libraries are scanned.
