Hi @Gitshaoxiang

Problems

The problem in the "M5EPD" library's logs:

2022/01/28 02:18:49 Checking out tag: 0.1.2
2022/01/28 02:18:49 Release M5EPD:0.1.1 already loaded, skipping

Unfortunately, the logs don't communicate about this particular thing very well, but what this tells us is that the version value in the library.properties metadata file was not updated before creating the 0.1.2 tag.
You can see it here:
https://github.com/m5stack/M5EPD/blob/0.1.2/library.properties#L2

version=0.1.1

Even though Git tags are the unit of release for the Arduino Library Manager, all versioning is done according to the version field of the library.properties file. For this reason, the indexer will reject any tag that has the same value in its version field as a release already in the index.

The problem is the same for the "M5Atom" library:

2022/01/28 03:13:57 Checking out tag: 0.0.8
2022/01/28 03:13:57 Release M5Atom:0.0.7 already loaded, skipping

https://github.com/m5stack/M5Atom/blob/0.0.8/library.properties#L2

version=0.0.7

Solution

The solution is to make another release of each library which meet the requirements:

1. Update the version value in library.properties to the version that will be used for the new release.
2. Create a new release or tag in the library repository.

The indexer system will pick up that new release and it will be available from Library Manager within a day. The non-compliant release will still be missing, but since the newer release will be available, it is no problem.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
