It should filter through eventually with the “stable” URL… but meanwhile I needed to load this into my IDE board manager to get 2.4.1

Huge number of fixes in the latest release.

Finally, no more problems that I only heard about

I wonder how many new “unfixes”

All good software has some “unfixes” but the current team working on the Core seem to be pretty clued up.

When will the IDE update to 2.4.1? I tried library update and 2.4.1 did not show up. I downloaded the zip file from github and when I added the zip file in library, I get an error “specified folder/zip does not contain a valid library”. What should I do to update the core properly in the IDE?

Edit: My IDE shows in Board Manager ESP8266 core as 2.4.1. I thought this will show up in the library manager. Confounded me…
