How to run beta version of esp8266/Arduino #109

Every now and then one of the supported platforms will release a test version and then a new version. Updates to a released new version are done quite fast, but (understandably) the beta versions are not added. For example the esp8266/Arduino made a beta available for the 2.5.0 version.

What has to be done to make a test build using PlatformIO, based on a tag or branch of such a platform? This will ease the testing phase for such a new platform, if we can add it ourselves in some kind of test setup.

Hi, I was also interested in using the 2.5.0-dev version. I downloaded the zip file from the github link you mentioned, then I extracted it in .platformio/packages/framework-arduinoespressif8266@2.5.0-dev I also changed the framework version in the .platformio/platforms/espressif8266/platform.json : "framework-arduinoespressif8266": { "type": "framework", "optional": true, "version": "~2.5.0-dev" },

Don't know if it's the right way to do it but it works.
