Ok, like what? What were you missing?

Are some modules required for use with other modules. For example, is SPI required for file.

Yes, definitely. I realized that many users commission several builds in quick succession and then won't have much clue as to what a particular binary contains when they get several success emails in quick succession.
For a moment I thought about letting users give their builds meaningful names but I believe just stating branch and selected modules in the success email is enough. Furthermore, the firmware filename should be something like '<branch>-<number-of-modules>-modules-[integer|float]-<hash>.bin' or so.

I renamed the files to <branch>-<date>-nodemcu-<integer/float>.bin
I would be happy with just an inclusion of the branch and modules selected in the email.
Perhaps attach the files to the email instead of a link.

I requested the same build on all 3 branches and can confirm that all binaries flashed with success. After loading I ran a gpio speed test to confirm it was running normally.

That information isn't available anywhere yet. See https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware/issues/386.

Yeah, including a timestamp might make sense.

That I certainly won't do.

Thanks for being so thorough. Good to know it all worked well for you.

Thank you for your work.

I have only been playing with NodeMcu and esp8266's for a week. Still learning my way around.

This is great and works fine!

A nice improvement would be to add an option to disable SSL (#define CLIENT_SSL_ENABLE in user_config.h) - this will increase free heap by some kB.

Thanks for your really helpful work!
