Version 1.8.6 is a great upgrade!

Wow. With this latest release, the starting gc.memfree() is 29264 bytes on my Wemos D1 Minis which is 7440 more bytes to work with! Fantastic! That's like almost 30% more free memory.

Thanks everyone for all their hard (and great) work!

Yes, I second that!
My project used to require compiling as a frozen bytecode to be able to run. With 1.8.6, I can now run it directly as a .py file. Much more convenient for development!

Thank you for your great job!
