Version 2.6.0

What's Changed

• Fix access point terminology by @mairas in #625

Full Changelog: v2.4.1...v2.5.0

Version 2.4.1

What's Changed

PlatformIO's update of the espressif32 platform from 3.5.0 to 4.1.0 incorporated a new major Arduino ESP32 Core version. As a result, SensESP projects would fail to build.

Some things were broken by the related Arduino ESP32 Core update, but some indigenous SensESP bugs were also excavated during the process.

• Fixes required by platformio/platformio-espressif32 v.4.1.0 by @mairas in #588
• Limit the platform to espressif32 only by @mairas in #589

Full Changelog: v2.4.0...v2.4.1

Version 2.4.0

What's Changed

• Fix the unbalanced namespace brackets when debugging is disabled by @mairas in #581
• Announce only activated services on mDNS by @mairas in #582
• Allow setting of custom WiFiManager access point SSIDs by @mairas in #583
• Release 2.4.0 by @mairas in #584

Full Changelog: v2.3.0...v2.4.0

Version 2.3.0

What's Changed

• WiFi connection logic improvements by @mairas in #579

This release is all about cleaning and hardening the WiFi connection logic in SensESP.

SensESP WiFi connection logic was a bit fragile and unnecessarily complex. Different connecting code was used depending on whether the WiFI AP was hard-coded or configured via WiFi Manager, and also reconnecting in case of lost WiFi was unreliable. This PR attempts to address those issues.

Major changes:

WiFi Manager configuration portal is only enabled if no previous configuration has been saved. Once SSID and password have been entered and verified to work, they will be used ever after (or at least until the device is reset).
If the WiFi AP is not available or the connection is lost, the device will keep attempting to reconnect until a connection has been established. WiFi Manager never gets launched, and these reconnection attempts are non-blocking (so the device is still operating normally, albeit without network).
WiFi Manager operates still in a blocking fashion, but since it's never launched during normal operation, this is less harmful than before.
