"Update Repo"-related questions

Hi Magnus,

Is it intented that an "Update Repo" loads also duocontrol.py and spiritlevel.py even if these 2 modules were not enabled in the previous version?

E.g., my ESP32 was running RelNo:1.5.a and both modules disabled (i.e. not selected during the setup and not enabled later either). Then I did an "Update Repo" and saw that these 2 modules were loaded. Is this needed in case the user wants to enable them and to ensure that then they are up-to-date?

BTW, after the update, the footer still shows the initial version:

MIT (c) Dr. Magnus Christ (2022) RelNo:1.5.a

I assume that this info is just not updated but I am a bit unsure. Maybe the update was not fully successful? How could I check?

Finally, does the "Update Repo" function always update to your latest Repo main? How about breaking changes that could happen? Would it then be possible to update to some "in-between-version" to keep things running?

Thanks and my best regards

To use the 2.x versions, you must first flash the ESP32 again. I have also explained this in the readme, because due to the small RAM memory, part of the code is in the flash memory.

Sorry, I should have paid more attention. And after the "Update Repo", the ESP32 stopped working. I'm just flashing again flash_esp32_inetbox2mqtt_v15b_4M.bin and will first stick to it.

EDIT: Will instead use latest version i.e. flash_esp32_inetbox2mqtt_v210_4M.bin.
