Micro Python is progressing nicely and there is new stuff coming all the time. Sometimes it was stuff I was already waiting for, just to realize later that it was already done for weeks. This is way I will from now on try to look through the project once a week, collect what new features were developed and put in a little post in this thread. I hope that this will help to inform people, without putting additional stress on the developers. Let's see how it works out. As this is the first week, I will include stuff no matter when it actually happened, from next week on it will be what happened in that week. I will also focus on stuff that's directly relevant to the user, and not on behind-the-scenes refactoring, optimizing or generally stuff that I don't get.
Also, if anyone else discovers new stuff - post it! This is not meant as one man show.

- SD cards via SPI are now supported - that means you can connect a SD card (breakout board) to the SPI bus and use it, for example if you managed to break of the SD connector on your pyboard. This is a result of the added ability to mount custom block device - which also makes it easy for everyone to write drivers for block devices in Python. ref
- Keyword arguments for namedtuple are now possible.
- There is a new command for converting WAV files. ref
- @micropython support was officially integrated into Nuttx! ref
So, I hope I will get better at his over the weeks. I hope when I follow this regularly, I will get better at understanding what all those commits mean. I found reading through the
commit messages as a good way to see the progress. There also is a version cahngelog available
here.
