ESPEasy

Easy MultiSensor device based on ESP8266

This is where development takes place. Beware that latest versions may be unstable.

New release management

Hi, i'm trying to continue maintenance on ESPeasy.

I've already tried to make some improvements to speed up developement: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy-platformio

I've created a simple wrapper repository to allow building via platformio.
The git-tag and version are stored in the firmware.bin file and viewable via the webgui.
There are now multiple plugin sets to speed up testing and releasing of new plugins:
- Minimal: Only contains base plugins until this point, to keep firmware size below 512k for smaller ESP8266's.
- Normal: All stable plugins
- Testing: New plugins that need testing before they will be marked stable. (marked with [TESTING] in the webgui)
- Development: Plugins that are not finished yet or are broken. (marked with [DEVELOPMENT] in the webgui)
Every release will have 4 firmware files, so everyone can choose which plugin set they want without a need to compile them yourself. This way its possible to use a stable release of ESPeasy and still have some testing plugins that you absolutely need.
All commits will be compiled automaticly via Travis
When a version in git is tagged, Travis will automaticly create a new release of the binaries on github.
Ideally we can now gradually move most play-ground plugins over to the main tree and add them to the approriate plugin set.
I would love to use different versioning numbering from now on, perhaps sematic versioning (http://semver.org), starting with 1.x.x since our internal plugin API is already stable.
