You can see the Arduino Core Version and the Espressif SDK Version on the Tasmota WebUI under the Information Menu entry.
Example: Core-/SDK-Version: **2_3_0**/1.5.3(aec24ac9)
* 2.3.0
- Not all Tasmota features work
- Modem Sleep works to save energy (see [Energy Saving](Energy-Saving))
- Web UI is slower
- Low RAM Available - Not many features can be enabled at once (sensors, etc)
- Has the Krack Vulnerability
- Software Serial can produce a restart exception (not enough RAM) if several features are enabled. (So, in this case only hardware serial will work - TX and RX pins)
- Most Wi-Fi Repeaters produces conflicts and disconnections
- Mesh Networks are not supported
- Some Routers of brands (Ubiquiti and Fritzbox) produce conflicts and disconnections
- If the Wi-Fi router has auto channel, channel switching is reliably managed by this core.
* 2.4.2:
- All Tasmota features work
- Modem Sleep doesn't work but Tasmota has a CPU dynamic sleep to save energy, so it is not a big issue for this core
- Web UI is faster
- Serial Software exceptions of 2.3.0 are solved
- Krack Vulnerability is solved.
- More RAM is available
- Firmware is a little bigger in flash size
- Most Wi-Fi Repeaters produce conflicts and disconnections
- Mesh Networks are not supported
- Some Routers of brands (Ubiquiti and Fritzbox) produce conflicts and disconnections
- If the Wi-Fi router has auto channel, channel switching is not reliably managed by this core. Use Fixed Channels in the router instead.
* 2.5.2:
- All Tasmota features work
- Extend PWM resolution for low brightness lights ([Details](../pull/5742))
- Modem Sleep doesn't work but Tasmota has a CPU dynamic sleep to save energy, so it is not a big issue for this core
- Alexa works
- Web UI is fast
- Serial Software exceptions of 2.3.0 are solved
- Krack Vulnerability is solved.
- More RAM is available compared to 2.4.2
- Firmware is a little bigger in size compared to 2.4.2
