Query: some dependencies (eg ESP_DoubleResetDetector) have been archived- safe to keep using?

Hi - thanks for your libraries!

They came up when Google searching for using a Captive Portal WiFi Manager for ESP32 + double reset detection.

Another thankyou for the many examples available to refer to - including how to use the double reset detection library.

But I see that the DRD library has been archived- is it because it's "stable" and bugs aren't expected? i.e. would you recommend still using it for new projects?

Thanks in advance!

HI @julianrendell

Archived library only means that library is read-only now. The reason is either

• it's quite stable
• not intended to be updated
• not popular and not intended to spend more time

For me, because of there are too many (200+) of my libraries, I couldn't continue working / maintain and create new libraries without distraction against too many rude and/or lazy questions / issues.

As you know and experience in embedded programming world, we can be better everyday by doing a lot of active works and experiments, and learn from fixing errors by research ourselves. Only asking for help after those experiments, failures to fix, etc., by not surrender immediately.

Therefore I archived many of them to avoid unnecessary interactions. If there is some reason to update, I'll unarchive and update.

But don't worry, those libraries will continue to be maintained / updated as needed. For example the DRD, etc.

The question / issue can be posted on Arduino Forum, etc. so that many other experts there can help and I'm aware of it to fix bug or update as needed.

You can continue to use them as normal.

Thanks for your nice words and usage of the libraries,

BR,
