[question] what changed after version 6.1.1?

[zuidwijk]

I'm using esp-web-tools to flash esp-link on esp8266 devices. This works absolutely fine with esp-web-tools v6.1.1. Yet when using a higher version like 7.5.0, 8,06 or 9.2.1 it won't work.

The manifest is unchanged:

{
 "name": "esp-link",
 "version": "3.2.47",
 "new_install_prompt_erase": false,
 "builds": [
   {
     "chipFamily": "ESP8266",
     "parts": [
       { "path": "boot_v1.7.bin", "offset": 0 },
       { "path": "user1.bin", "offset": 4096 },
       { "path": "esp_init_data_default.bin", "offset": 4177920 },
       { "path": "blank.bin", "offset": 4186112 } 
     ]
   }
 ]
}

Using version any version higher than 6.1.1 doesnt work.

<script type="module" src="https://unpkg.com/esp-web-tools@9/dist/web/install-button.js?module"></script>

It flashes, but after flashing it doesnt work on the esp. Connecting via usb gives corrupted data (no matter which baud)

<script type="module" src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/web/install-button.js?module"></script>

Version 6 works flawlessly.
