NodeMCU Tool Versions Save

• Added: Bulk/Multi File upload
• Added: devices command to display a list of all connected NodeMCU Devices
• Added: noninteractive options to the mkfs command to disable user interaction (confirm dialog)
• Added: Global --silent mode to disable log/status messages - only errors and direct outputs are displayed
• Added: Apache ANT build script example (programmatic file upload)
• Added: PHP Usage example (programmatic usage of fsinfo command)

• Added: Programmatic Usage Guide
• Added: Step-by-Step Getting-Start Guide to the Documentation
• Added: Output handler to the middleware (separate log, error, output handler are available)
• Changed: Cleaned up NodeMCU-Tool.js - a connection is now established within a helper function
• Changed: The Connector.upload function will not remove a existing file anymore - it's now handled by the middleware (eliminates code redundancy)
• Changed: The device-list is not shown anymore in case there is an error during the connection establishment - please use the devices command
• Changed: On error, the process will now exit with return-code 1
• Improved: Hex-Upload-Helper is only uploaded one-times during a connector session (speedup when uploading multiple files)
• Bugfix: Upload Errors were not forwarded to the frontend
• Bugfix: The --compile options doesn't check the file-type

1.4.0

• Added: Ability to provide remote destination filename or keep relative path in destination filename - thanks to loicortola on GitHub
• Added: Shortcut to the executable file to the root dir
• Changed: fsinfo will return the total number of files as well as a No Files found message - feature requested on GitHub
• Changed: related to the destination filename option, the arguments of the upload function has changed - third party applications require an update!

Tool throws a fatal error in case .nodemcutool file is not available

• Added: Project based configurations to set default options like port, baudrate within .nodemcutool file
• Bugfix: Debugging output using --optimize flag was displayed

• Added: Binary file transfer
• Added: Download function to fetch file from NodeMCU (binary save)
• Added: Additional check to verify the existence of a remote file for read/write operations
• Changed: File-Content is hex-encoded before upload - this allows binary file uploads and "unlimited" line size (not longer limited to 235chars per line!)
• Changed: All used LUA commands/functions are centralized in NodeMcuConnector
• Changed: the --optimize flag only works for LUA files with file-type .lua

• Added: NodeMCU-Tool.js to use the connector as well as all CLI functions programmatically
• Added: Colorized terminal messages
• Added: Low Level API for direct interactions with the LUA interpreter
• Changed: The bin tool has been separated in two files (CLI and API layer)
• Changed: all errors are handled as callbacks (Node.js standard)
• Changed: moved the test.lua file to top-level and renamed it to helloworld.lua
• Changed: Whitespaces of the beginning of each line are removed when using the optimize flag
• Bugfix: Replaced the progress bar with cli-progress to avoid random empty lines on the terminal
• Bugfix: Aborting the confirm dialog of the mkfs command with ctrl+c raised an error

NodeMCU Tool allows you to

• Upload LUA files to your ESP8266/NodeMCU module
• Upload any text files
• Delete files
• Format the file system
• Show existing files on your module
• Precompile LUA files live on NodeMCU
• Optimize LUA files before uploading by stripping comments (saves flash memory)
• Run files on NodeMCU and display the output
• Simple Serial Terminal to interact with NodeMCU directly from the command line.
