ESP8266 Community Forum

1. Changes made in a development fork.
2. Binaries built from that development fork and uploaded to the binary distribution of Espruino for ESP8266.
3. Docs in the development fork consistent with code changes made in the fork.

What will happen next is:
4. Issue a pull request of the fork to Espruino master
5. Merge occurs

After about a week or so of community feedback, if all has gone well, the "ESP8266WiFi.xxx" functions will be removed (they are still present in parallel with the new APIs) and what will remain are the new APIs.

Assuming nothing horrible shows up, I would imagine final API stability about the 2nd or 3rd week of November.

Thanks for the detailed information. I look forward to using the new API.

In my opinion, the latest version of firmware - 1V81.660 is for instability almost unusable.

Howdy @jankop,
There is real-time chatter on the builds and bugs found here ...

Many thanks for the report of a problem, we'll look at it straight away. No excuses ... we have tested the "happy" paths but done woefully bad testing on the edge cases.

Edge will get you all the time, your pefectly fine walking up to the cliff, for miles and miles your fine, you get to the damn edge and all of a sudden.... not so good anymore....
