ESPAsyncTCP version in libs/ won't compile with recent platforimIO ESP8266 SDK

[allthepies]

Having upgraded the PlatformIO ESP8266 SDK version recently, I then got compilation errors when building BMEsp.

I believe the issue is this one: me-no-dev/ESPAsyncTCP#57

I updated the ESPAsyncTCP library to the latest version and BMEsp now compiles [I'm yet to test it].

I've tried to use latest version of ESPAsyncTCp and ESPAsyncWebServer.
There are some issues. The SSE Link will be closed and reconnected every 5 seconds. The result is that you can't edit the settings and automation process.
I am not sure wether it is caused by LWIP or ESPAsyncTCP. So far, it seems that LWIP doesn't report ACK from the peer. (I assume the TCP/IP of OSX behaviors as expected.)

Update:
I might have found the issue and submitted an issue:
me-no-dev/ESPAsyncTCP#77

I'll see how me-no-dev response and try if I can modify the code by myself.

Reverted to the previous platformIO esp8266 platform version and it now compiles OK with your versions of the ESPAsyncTCP libraries.

In platformio.ini modified
platform = espressif8266
to
platform = espressif8266@~1.5

As changelog for the espressif8266 platform is:
1.6.0 released 1 day ago

Finally! Release of Arduino Core v2.4.0
Add new boards: WeMos D1 mini Pro and 4D Systems gen4 IoD Range
Update espota.py to v1.1.0
Update mkspiffs tool to v0.2.0
Allow overriding PROGNAME (issue #54)
Improve support of FQDN for OTA target (issue #56)

I suspect the Arduino Core upgrade to v2.4.0 was the culprit.

Would be good to get a fixed latest ESPAsyncTCP library though.

I am working on the migration of latest ESPASyncTCP/ESPAsyncWebServer library.
Last time, about one year ago, it was not stable, and the system w/ new libraries crashed sometimes. That is the real reason I keep using old version of the libraries.

The latest version seems to work fine. Maybe it has something to do with new version of framework. I've tested it for a while, and it seems to work fine. I applied the temporal solution mentioned.

If you want to try it, you can try the branch:
https://github.com/vitotai/BrewManiacEsp8266/tree/NewEspAsyncLibs

If the build "passes" my stability test, I will try to use WebSocket instead of current ServiceSideEvent. By using two-way WebSocket, the button action will be more smooth and responsive.

[allthepies]

Good stuff, I will try the latest version.

You going to do similar for BPL too ?

[vitotai]

Yes.
I am trying WebSocket on BPL now.

[vitotai]

The new libraries as well as WebSocket pass my stability test.

I also fixed some bugs:

Just loaded up the v404pre branch and it's looking good.
