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.
