@facchinm I'm not sure this issue is related to this release or not, but I'm not able to install 1.8.6. I'm only getting a null pointer exception:

java.lang.NullPointerException

It shouldn't 😳 Which IDE version are you using?

I tried 1.8.10 and the latest hourly build. Great improvement to the tools menu in the hourly build BTW!

All kudos to @matthijskooijman for the menu 🙂
Which other megaAVR-compatible cores have you installed via board manager? The issue could depend on some unexpected dependency

Which other megaAVR-compatible cores have you installed via board manager?

Currently, none. I have the MegaCoreX boards manger URL in there, but I have not installed it though boards manger.
I have MegaCoreX and megaTinyCore installed manually.

So, it looks like it's trying to remove a partially installed version of the megaavr core... Not sure which tool is involved, but removing $arduino15/packages/arduino/hardware/megaavr folder and then reinstalling should fix it

Thanks, that did the trick! BTW any plans to update the megaavr pack with the latest releast (1.4.351). The last few releases has fixed some peripheral bugs and interrupt vector issues. Would have been really great to have the latest release ☺️
