Particle.publish() still documented as having a 255 byte limit

[nrobinson2000]

In the Docs it says the following:

Cloud events have the following properties:

• name (1–63 ASCII characters)

Note: Only use letters, numbers, underscores, dashes and slashes in event names. Spaces and special characters may be escaped by different tools and libraries causing unexpected results.

• public/private (default public)

• ttl (time to live, 0–16777215 seconds, default 60) !! NOTE: The user-specified ttl value is not yet implemented, so changing this property will not currently have any impact.

• optional data (up to 255 bytes)

Wasn't the limit raised?

I currently have a photon on 0.8.0-rc.7 that can publish events with 300+ character payloads without any problems.

The docs will be updated when 0.8.0 is a default release. Since 0.7.0 is still the default release, and 0.8.0 is a pre-release, the docs still have the lower limit.

Ahh, I see. Thanks for the clarification.

That said, it is currently documented now in the prerelease-docs: https://prerelease-docs.particle.io/reference/firmware/photon/#cloud-functions

Docs have been updated as of the 1.0.0 release.
