In past Arduino versions, when compiling a sketch the line of code corresponding to the first error would be highlighted. This was a big help in assisting users in locating (and fixing) the error, without necessarily needing to read through the (often-confusing) error message in detail. At some point, this behavior seems to have stopped. For example, I don't see it in the latest master branch (1.6.1) on Mac OS X (10.10.2). It would be great to bring back this functionality.

  Block discovery threads until packages is not null, otherwise boards discovered during startup will miss model name
  Also SerialDiscovery was affected by bug found at 40535df. Fixes arduino#2892
  NetworkDiscovery was silently failing because packages werenìt ready yet. Fixes arduino#2837
  Better preference for setting warnings level. See arduino@61592d7#commitcomment-10668365
  SAM boards stop compiling due to way of handling params with spaces on different OSs. Fixed
  Update Tone.cpp
  Restored error messages. Got rid of MessageSyphon as ther were losing some error messages. Fixes arduino#2737
  Windows: added listComPorts test case
  New preference: enable all compiler warnings, off by default. Fixes arduino#1728 and arduino#2415. Also affects arduino#2634 and arduino#2207
  build.xml: spreading failonerror on all exec tasks, it's better to crash early
