You can see the Arduino Core Version and the Espressif SDK Version on the Tasmota WebUI under the Information Menu entry. 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) Example: Core-/SDK-Version: **2_3_0**/1.5.3(aec24ac9)
* 2.3.0 * pre 2.6.x (**recommended version**):
- 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.
