Platform.h removed since Arduino IDE v1.5.8: Why?

[pbony]

Hello,

I found 3 sketches online and all generate the same compilation error on arduino IDE v1.6.0:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic\Arduino\libraries\EasyVR\EasyVRBridge.cpp:14:24: fatal error: Platform.h: No such file or directory
#include "Platform.h"

To fix this issue, I had to download Arduino IDE v1.5.7 and copy/paste Platform.h into
C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\cores\arduino

So why Platform.h has been removed?
Would it be possible to include it again please?

Thanks for your inputs and feedback.
Best Regards

The file has been removed since it merely includes other files and is not part of the documented API, here the relevant changeset:

To solve your issue you may try remove #include <Platform.h> from your sketch.

@pbony

it seems that @ppescher has already fixed this in the latest development version of the library:
