Overview

Lots of new features this release:

• Full, native support for wired Ethernet adapters on the Pico. All classes like WebServer and HTTPClient and ArduinoOTA can be used just as they are used on the Pico W.
• SPI transactions and SPISlave added
• Bluetooth BLE HID devices can co-exist (i.e. keyboard + mouse)

Note: Release 3.6.x is a minor toolchain update. Be sure to run ./tools/get.py to download updates if you're using git master under Windows!
