U-module renaming, deflate module, IDF 5, board variants and Pico-W BLE
This release of MicroPython sees the renaming of built-in modules to remove
the u-prefix, a new deflate module with optional compression support, the
introduction of board variants, switching of the esp32 port to use IDF 5
together with improved heap management, support for BLE on RPi Pico W
boards, and STM32H5xx support. The project is also now using codespell and
ruff to improve code quality. New boards added in this release are:
ARDUINO_NANO_ESP32 and UM_NANOS3 (esp32 port), ADAFRUIT_METRO_M7 (mimxrt
port), ARDUINO_PORTENTA_C33 and VK_RA6M5 (renesas-ra port),
ADAFRUIT_METRO_M4_EXPRESS (samd port), NUCLEO_L4A6ZG and STM32H573I_DK
(stm32 port).
The renaming of built-in modules to remove the u-prefix -- for example
utime becomes time, uasyncio becomes asyncio -- is done to improve
compatibility with CPython and eliminate confusion about whether to import
the u-version or the non-u-version of the name. Now, one should just
always import the non-u-version and no longer think about u-naming. The
only remaining module with a u-prefix is uctypes because it is not
compatible with the CPython ctypes modules. The following modules are
still available via their u-names for backwards compatibility: array,
asyncio, binascii, bluetooth, collections, cryptolib, errno, hashlib,
heapq, io, json, machine, os, platform, random, re, select, socket, ssl,
struct, time, websocket. These modules (except for asyncio) are also
extensible and can be overridden by a file with the same name, eg time.py.
To force the import of a built-in, one must first clear (and subsequently
restore) sys.path; the ability to write to the sys.path attribute has also
been implemented in this release. For further information see the
discussion at https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues/9018.
Furthermore, importing itself has been tweaked and optimised, and importing
of built-ins no longer touch the filesystem, which makes a typical built-in
import take ~0.15ms rather than 3-5ms. For modules that fail to import,
they are now removed from sys.modules, allowing the import to be attempted
again. This required adding "NLR jump callbacks" to efficiently run some
code if an exception is raised.
Additional improvements to the core runtime include support for conversion
specifiers in f-strings (e.g. !r), speeding up of incremental GC cycles by
tracking the last used block, addition of a new MICROPY_GC_SPLIT_HEAP_AUTO
"auto grow heap" mode and support for pad bytes in struct format. The
documentation, examples and test have also seen general improvements and
additions.
For the extended modules, the zlib C module has been removed and replaced
with a new MicroPython-specific deflate module and DeflateIO class that is
optimised to provide efficient streaming compression and decompression.
The zlib (and gzip) modules are now implemented in pure Python on top of
the deflate module. The timeq module has been removed, it existed only for
a previous version of (u)asyncio and is no longer used. In the ssl
module, SSLContext has been added to be more compatible with CPython. The
select module now supports using system/POSIX poll when possible and the
unix port now uses this implementation instead of its own one. That means
the unix port can now select/poll on custom Python objects that implement
the appropriate ioctl. The socket module now supports SO_BROADCAST, and
sys.std*.buffer objects now exist on unix. There is also a new esp-hosted
network driver for external ESP32-based network coprocessors.
mpy-cross now allows reading source files from stdin and writing compiled
code to stdout.
The esp8266 and esp32 ports add support for the Espressif ESP-NOW protocol,
and the ability to set/get the power saving mode of the WLAN hardware. The
esp8266 port adds board-variant support, combining all boards into a single
ESP8266_GENERIC with FLASH_512K, FLASH_1M and OTA variants.
The esp32 port has now switched exclusively to ESP-IDF 5, and all existing
components have been updated to work with this new IDF (except
esp32.hall_sensor() which has been removed). The FSM ULP has been enabled
for S2 and S3 chips, sockets now support SO_BINDTODEVICE, and board-named
pins and the Pin.board dict have been implemented. The MicroPython heap
has been reworked on this port to support the large variety of memory
configurations: it now starts at 64kbytes and automatically grows as
needed, with new segments allocated from the IDF heap. This means that
boards with SPIRAM have much faster GC collection times if only a small
amount of RAM is used, all available RAM can be used if needed, and the IDF
has access to enough RAM for things like SSL sockets. For more information
see https://github.com/micropython/micropython/pull/12141. The esp32 port
has also had its generic boards consolidated and renamed to ESP32_GENERIC,
ESP32_GENERIC_C3, ESP32_GENERIC_S2 and ESP32_GENERIC_S3, and some now have
variants such as SPIRAM.
The mimxrt port has fixes and improvements to PWM and Pin.irq, as well as
support for UART hardware flow control and UART.deinit. It has also seen
integration of WiFi via the CYW43 driver, and Bluetooth via NimBLE. The
mbedTLS bindings have enabled time validation of certificates.
The renesas-ra port has changed board names to match the product name,
updated to use FSP v4.4.0, added support for: RA6M5 MCUs, machine PWM, DAC,
RNG and SDCard classes, TinyUSB, Bluetooth via NimBLE, networking via lwIP,
and mbedTLS.
Bluetooth support has also been added to the rp2 port for the Pico W board.
And the RPi boards have been renamed from PICO to RPI_PICO, and PICO_W to
RPI_PICO_W. Lightsleep has been fixed on this port so it works while WiFi
is powered off, and time.time_ns() now has microsecond resolution.
The samd port sees the addition of SPI and QSPI flash drivers to support
filesystems on external flash.
The stm32 port add support for STM32H5xx MCUs, basic support for the
OCTOSPI peripheral, and USB support for STM32L1xx MCUs. New functions have
been added to the stm module to support the sub-GHz radio on STM32WL55.
In micropython-lib, an extensive LoRa module has been added along with
drivers for SX126x and SX127x chipsets, and the STM32WL55. This module
supports both synchronous and asynchronous (asyncio) mode. Also, as part
of the u-module renaming, urequests has been renamed to requests (but for
backwards compatibility "import urequests" still works for now).
The change in code size since the previous release for various ports is
(absolute and percentage change in the text section):
bare-arm: +192 +0.340%
minimal x86: +310 +0.169%
unix x64: +4784 +0.610%
stm32: -524 -0.134%
cc3200: +280 +0.154%
esp8266: +8016 +1.151%
esp32: +112133 +7.293%
mimxrt: +3624 +1.015%
renesas-ra: -2184 -0.348%
nrf: +616 +0.332%
rp2: +1920 +0.595%
samd: -7904 -2.953%
The changes that dominate these numbers are:
- bare-arm, minimal, cc3200, nrf: NLR jump callbacks and support for
extensible modules
- unix: update of mbedTLS to v2.28.1, support for polling Python objects in
select module
- stm32: removal of the timeq module
- esp8266: addition of the espnow module
- esp32: switching to ESP-IDF 5
- mimxrt: UART features, time validation of SSL certificates
- renesas-ra: move to FSP v4.4.0, remove timeq module
- rp2: machine.PWM enhancements
- samd: drop support for VfsLfs1
Performance is effectively unchanged since the previous release.
Note that this is the last release to use the current versioning scheme for
nightly/unstable builds, whereby a build between releases is versioned as
v1.20.0-<num>-g<hash> (following the release of v1.20.0). Moving forward,
nightly builds will now be called preview builds and be versioned with the
next release number. For example, if the last release was v1.21.0 then
preview releases will be of the form v1.22.0-preview.<num>.g<hash>. For
discussion see https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues/12127.
