It looks like the project needs new management? 529 issues and 43 pull requests as of October 29, 2016. No updates since September 2nd. I think Ivan needs help, as it appears he is preoccupied by ESP32 ?

I'm also sad a 2.4.0 is still not released.
Many people discover the ESP every day and faithfully install 2.3.0 version thinking it is recent, and then run into issues that have since been resolved.
E.g. https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/issues/2672
2.3.0 is more than 5 months old now and there are so many fixes and improvements ready.

I wonder if the best wouldn't be to modify the readme.md and propose git as the first installation option, and only if it fails then propose to use the old 2.3.0 via the boards manager, indicating it has many known issues...

Why igrr start working esp32?
Is about an year from presentation and only 10-20 seller on aliexpress (against thousand of esp8266),
esp32 semms a failing platform from my point of view.
