Currently there are two supported ways to enter programming mode:
The first one is RTS+DTR: RTS controls RESET or CH_PD, DTR controls GPIO0 — this one will be enabled by default in the next release.

This is already merged in out git. You can build from source, or you can download the existing release and then replace hardware/esp8266com directory with new files from git.
