# ESPEasy (development branch)
Introduction and wiki: https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/index.php/ESPEasy#Introduction
**MEGA**
:warning:This is the development branch of ESPEasy. All new untested features go into this branch. If you want to do a bugfix, do it on the stable branch, we will merge the fix to the development branch as well.:warning:

## Web based flasher (experimental)
To make it easier to get started, one may flash a build directly to the ESP from your browser.
Currently only Chrome and Edge are supported.
See [this flash page](https://td-er.nl/ESPEasy/) to try the new web flash feature.
The web flasher is using [ESP Web Tools](https://esphome.github.io/esp-web-tools/) made by the people behind ESPHome and Home Assistant.
## Binary releases
On demand, controlled by the repo owner, our build-bot will build a new binary release: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/releases
The releases are named something like 'mega-20210501' (last number is the build date)
Depending on your needs, we release different types of files:
The name is built up from a few key parts:
