Advanced REPL support with smart auto-indent and auto-completion for comfortable interactive typing pf Python code, easily switchable to paste mode to copy pre-made code snippets. 2. Support for client SSL connections. 3. upip, MicroPython builtin package manager, is now fully standalone thanks to SSL support. 4. There's new, elaborated API to access hardware features ("machine" module). 5. There're now 2 well-supported microcontroller boards for MicroPython, and dozen(s) community-supported ones. 6. MicroPython was selected as one of the languages supported for BBC micro:bit initiative: http://ntoll.org/article/story-micropython-on-microbit 7. There's work on native efficient JNI bridge, inspired by Kivy's PyJNIus module, included into growing Android port. More detailed changelog for this version is at https://github.com/micropython/micropython/releases/tag/v1.5 MicroPython supports growing subset of Python3 standard library (including simplified asyncio package) - not included by default with an executable, but easily installable per-module using builtin "upip" package manager: https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pmiscml@gmail.com
