"--version" flag is not recognized

[jmchiappa]

In commandlineParser.java, ACTION.VERSION isn't parsed and treated.
Something like this should be added :

public void parseArgumentsPhase1() {
...
if (a == ACTION.VERSION) {
// action to display version number in console
        }
}

Did you try the hourly build of the Arduino IDE? Because that feature was added 3 weeks ago:
#7549

That's perfect ! 👍
Thank you for your quick reply !
Now I will wait for the 1.8.6 release. I hope that it will come soon :-)
