It seems the library changed:

class SoftwareSerial : public Stream { public: SoftwareSerial(); /// Ctor to set defaults for pins. /// @param rxPin the GPIO pin used for RX /// @param txPin -1 for onewire protocol, GPIO pin used for twowire TX SoftwareSerial(int8_t rxPin, int8_t txPin = -1, bool invert = false); SoftwareSerial(const SoftwareSerial&) = delete; SoftwareSerial& operator= (const SoftwareSerial&) = delete; virtual ~SoftwareSerial();

Arduino IDE version: 1.8.12 Softserial version: 6.8.1 https://github.com/plerup/espsoftwareserial) I'm encountering the same error message as documented in the first comment above but fail to locate any remedial action. Anyone available to advise how to proceed?
