Library reference manual Compatibility page is incorrect

[jmtn]

Hello,

The Compatibility page in the reference manual for this library says that it "you should be able to use it on all the Arduino boards," however it is not compatible with the Uno and many other boards according to this post and my own attempts to use it on the Uno after reading the aforementioned manual.

Thanks for your report @jmtn. The information that caused the reference page to claim "This library is compatible with all architectures so you should be able to use it on all the Arduino boards." has already been resolved by #26

The reason the reference page doesn't reflect that change is because the reference page is generated from the library as it was at the time of the latest release, and there hasn't been a new release of the library since the change made by #26.

After the next release, the reference page will instead say something like:

This library is compatible with the avr, sam, samd architectures.

Compatibility with an architecture means that code can be compiled and uploaded to a board from the list below:

Samd

Arduino MKR 1000 WiFi
Arduino MKR WiFi 1010
Arduino MKR FOX 1200
Arduino MKR WAN 1300
Arduino MKR WAN 1310
Arduino MKR GSM 1400
Arduino MKR NB 1500
Arduino MKR Vidor 4000
Arduino MKR Zero
Arduino Nano 33 IoT
Arduino Zero

AVR

Arduino Micro
Arduino Leonardo
Arduino Mega
Arduino Nano
Arduino UNO Arduino Yún

This claim is also patently false. However, that misinformation comes from the proprietary code base of the Arduino Library Reference generation system, so it is impossible to fix it by any change in the Mouse library's codebase that is hosted in this repository. For that reason, I'll close this issue as off topic for this repository. We already have a dedicated issue tracking that problem in a more appropriate issue tracker: arduino/Arduino#11871. I have already added a note about your report to that issue. You can subscribe to that issue if you would like to receive notifications of any news regarding a resolution to the problem.

@per1234 thank you so much for your time and your very polite explanation! Next time I'll do a little research first 😆. It's very unfortunate that the Arduino website is closed-source.
