Development status update
-
@daniel
I personally thank you a lot for this detailed report of status, it really helped me in a way. I mean when we don't have features implemented yet, the next best thing is to know When we're going to get them and your report helped me get a perspective on the plan and the time (approximately) I can get my hands on the features I need. All being said, I can't express enough how important it is to keep the documentation in sync with the development.P.S.: I can see that you are still referring to my 30% estimation of job done. Although it might be a rough and harsh estimate, as my experience goes (I have been a project manager for years now) it is pretty much correct. Because DONE has a definition and what you have listed is not DONE until they have proper test cases, documentation, sample code , etc... I do have the best of hopes for your products and company and I am very much rooting for you to succeed and help us succeed too, so don't take me the wrong way. What I've said doesn't change the fact that you are doing an awesome job.
Best of lucks

Now this is much more informative. Especially
IDF changes are not always incremental when Espressif performs an update.
Sadly that RTC is the last point. But i know that someone priority is different then other person.Please also note that from next week releases will be out on Thursdays instead of Fridays.
this is also good step - you know that if you post new firmware in Friday and something go wrong - you can not rest in weekend ;-) -
Hi @livius,
Regarding the connection between 2 WiPy's, please have a look at my reply to you in: https://forum.pycom.io/topic/376/interim-update/6
The problem is just that you are using the wrong password.
Cheers,

@mohpor thanks for your feedback. I do understand your point of view. Thanks for putting your trust in us. It might not show on every firmware release, but we are working super hard to give you all the best results in the shortest amount of time.
Cheers,

Two mistakes here:
- Your biggest mistake was not showing above detailed information from first post in this topic as a starting info on the forum 2 month ago.
Especially this information:
IDF changes are not always incremental when Espressif performs an update. Often they are incompatible with the previous IDF versions, which means that small or large chunks of the software that's based on it, break in many places.i am desktop software developer and form that perspective this key information (essential).
I know how hard sometimes is to write automatic tests in software and i suppose automatic tests for hardware are harder to implement. Once tested feature must be reviewed, and reviewed and reviewed...- In the shop before buy should be link to:
https://docs.pycom.io/pycom_esp32/pycom_esp32/underhood.html
and remove the link when supported all the main features.
People have this information, would continue to buy this unique board - believe me, but the frustration was close to 0.

@jose1711 yes, but we are still waiting for the Espressif IDF to support it. It should come around mid Januray.

@mohpor yes we are :-). Have you seen this post: https://forum.pycom.io/topic/420/firmware-release-1-1-0-b1?
