new esp8266 core #81

Closed 5chufti closed 4 years ago

5chufti commented 4 years ago

Hi, sorry to bother again, but essential new versions - hopefully stability improving - on esp8266 core version are not selectable.

(n.b.: I don't understand why tasmota has to be on bleeding edge for esp8266 cores when versions since 2.5 deteriorate regarding wifi stability, looking at Issues over there)

I understand your point, but we do that because it is really necessary. Those updates have mainly include:

Security bugs fixed PWM crashes fixed Memory management crash fixed iRAM usage fixed Increased Free RAM Between many others

But mainly because of security issues. When any security issue is revealed, we must update and solve it. We can not leave a known insecure version. It is too risky for anyone not aware of those issues.

New docker images will be available soon. For now you can use gitpod approach.
