ESP32 *below* V3.0 ?

[byte-for-byte]

Hello,
Thanks for the great work so far!!

I am curious:
a) why is there the <V3.0 restriction?
b) is there a plan to remove the <V3.0 restriction?

Install [Arduino ESP32 V 2.0.5 or above and below V3.0]

Thanks in advance

Because 3.0 was in the dev state when this library was written, the API has changed too much and is incompatible. In addition, the TFT_eSPI example is currently only applicable to version 2.0.14, and will be updated to support 3.0 and above later.

Thanks for the details and the quick answer! :)

I assume there is some kind of timeline or milestone for that at LilyGo? I am unsure if I should wait for the updated repository or look into another display that works with the up-to-date esp32 core installation?

thanks in advance

I can't give you exact times because I maintain many repositories at the same time.

I spent some time to test whether the factory can run normally on version v3.0.5. After testing, it can run on versions above V3.0 with simple modifications. At present, I have only tested the factory example. Other examples have not been tested. You can test them when you have time.
