# Changelog

## 3.2.5

- Prevent ESP8266 portal firmware uploads from yielding in ESPAsyncWebServer's
  SYS callback. The updater now enters asynchronous mode before its first
  erase or write, so the real browser upload can complete and restart into
  the new firmware image.
- Send the successful portal OTA response before scheduling the restart, so
  browsers can observe a completed HTTP exchange on both ESP8266 and ESP32.
- Give ESP32's Wi-Fi radio a five-second hand-off interval before a user scan
  retry, avoiding transient scan failures immediately after completion.

## 3.2.4

- Correct profile-backed Wi-Fi hand-off from the embedded web portal: the
  station controller now owns attempts started through either portal surface,
  preventing the legacy empty-SSID path from reporting success before a
  station address is available.

## 3.2.3

- Clarify the public integration boundary, built-in browser protocol, and
  portal presentation documentation without coupling the standalone library to
  DeviceFramework.
- Refresh the standalone test guidance and pin the packaged DFTE dependency to
  the validated 1.2.1 release.

## 3.2.2

- Align the direct ESP8266 and ESP32 test environments with the packaged DFTE 1.2.0 dependency.

## 3.2.1

- Ensure externally supplied station profiles remain authoritative on ESP32 by clearing stale SDK-owned credentials before opening the portal for an empty or invalid external profile set.
- Pin DFTE 1.2.0, the tested template-engine release used by the maintained portal.

## 3.2.0

- Refine the device-hosted portal with a startup Wi-Fi scan, stable loading overlays, clearer connection progress, and a resettable configuration timeout.
- Keep a successful portal-to-station hand-off reachable until the browser acknowledges its redirect, with a bounded fallback for captive or headless clients.
- Rename the presentation field `homeIntro` to `tagline` so portal identity and wording are clearer; update portal bootstrap contract to v3.
- Add focused Basic Portal, Branded Portal, Custom Portal Content, and Station Profiles examples for ESP8266 and ESP32, with real-hardware README captures.
- Strengthen release CI with documentation and clean-consumer/example compilation checks for both supported targets.

## 3.1.0

- Add an opt-in primary/fallback station-profile controller with bounded failover, reconnection, a durable consumer-supplied store, and profile-aware portal APIs. DeviceFramework uses this to persist verified WiFi profiles transactionally.
- Add portable portal branding and presentation hooks, including theme-aware shell and template rendering, without requiring DeviceFramework.
- Pin ESP32 tests to the Arduino 3-compatible pioarduino platform release and resolve DFTE 1.1.0.

## 3.0.6

- Correct async PlatformIO dependency owners to the registry's canonical lowercase identity, so a clean consumer builds WiFiManager and its ESP8266/ESP32 transport dependencies without duplicating them in `lib_deps`. Remove the superseded include-path bridge.

## 3.0.5

- Add a library-owned PlatformIO bridge for the asynchronous web/TCP include paths required when WiFiManager is nested beneath DeviceFramework.

## 3.0.4

- Set the package's deep PlatformIO dependency-discovery mode so WiFiManager's asynchronous web/TCP children remain available when it is consumed through DeviceFramework.

## 3.0.3

- Declare the ESP8266 and ESP32 async TCP libraries explicitly in the PlatformIO package manifest so clean consumers resolve the headers required by the asynchronous portal.

## 3.0.2

- Update the pinned DFTE dependency to the iterator-lifecycle and configuration-safe 1.0.2 release.

## 3.0.1

- Redact WiFi, AP, portal-form, and custom-parameter values from diagnostic logs.

## 3.0.0

- Establish `device-framework` as the independently maintained canonical branch.
- Add safe default parameter construction and allocation-failure handling.
- Pin the DFTE dependency used by PlatformIO builds.
