esp-idf version 4.4.4 released

It’s only a point release, but I think it’s important enough to move to if you’re still on the ESP-IDF 4.4.x release. There appear to be considerable bug fixes in Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth LE. You can read about it here ( https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/releases/tag/v4.4.4 ) and follow the directions for cloning it locally to get your copy.

The first thing I did after cloning a copy on my machine and setting it up was to rebuild my local copy of MicroPython main. You can see it running just fine in the screen shot above.

circuitpython 8 final release

Adafruit released CirtcuitPython 8 final today ( https://circuitpython.org ). I’ve already installed it on my Pico W boards and a Pro S3 ( https://esp32s3.com/pros3.html ) I’ve had for a while now. I like the Pro S3 because it’s built with the ESP32-S3 with 8 MB PSRAM and 16 MB FLASH.

I’m still hoping that the upstream MicroPython will begin a final release in the very near future. I need both versions due to the types of microcontrollers I’m working with as well as the types of workloads in each version.
