Many ESP8266 improvements, enhanced WebREPL, and support for STM32L4 MCUs This release brings general improvements and bug fixes, and some new features. There is now a uerror module for consistent errno handling across ports, as well as textual names of OS errors that are printed when an OSError is raised. There is support for frozen packages, via both frozen scripts and frozen bytecode. WebREPL on the ESP8266 is greatly improved with many bug fixes and now supports an unlimited (or very large) number of reconnects. The os module on the ESP8266 now has rename, chdir, getcwd and stat. The unix port now includes the ussl module by default. The stmhal port has support for STM32L4 MCUs including the STM32L476 Discovery board and the LimiFrog board.
