ESPEasy Build Variations: What do the names mean?
Posted: 08 Oct 2021, 05:47
There are a lot of interesting ESPEasy bins in each release. Many of the names are self explanatory. But then there's some mystery names that need further explanation. For example:
test_A_alt_wifi
test_A_beta
test_B_alt_wifi
test_B_beta
test_C_alt_wifi
test_C_beta
and so on. This isn't a complete list, just a sample of releases that make me wonder what they do.
I guess what I am asking, exactly how does each bin differ from the others? For example, when would a user want to use an alt_wifi branch? Or when would a "test" branch user flash with test_A versus test_B, or the other test_x bins?
I tried to learn what they are by looking at the platformio files, but didn't achieve a satisfactory level of joy. If there is a specific doc that describes the difference in the build variations then that would be fantastic to have; Just need a push in the right direction.
