Latest esp-idf breaks cpp_utils/WiFi

[rickAllDev]

Apparently m_mdns_server is no longer defined in last esp-idf msdn.h

Thank you sir. Trivially recreated ... looking for solution now.

Until we can make progress on the issue of MDNS ... I have commented it out. This will, of course, remove MDNS functions from the solution but I feel that they might not be as heavily used as the other components. For the majority of users, I'm hoping there will be a clean compile. Do you yourself need MDNS? If not, do you now get a clean compile with the latest code downloaded?

[rickAllDev]

thanks Neil. no, I do not need MDNS. I started to comment everything out as well today but ended up going back to previous version of esp-idf. I will update and try again tomorrow.

I think its time to create new branch for v3.0 because esp-idf master is now v3.1.

[nkolban]

The master being a 3.1 early draft is not the same as there being a 3.0 release.

If we look here, https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/releases

We don't yet (as of this day) see a 3.0 release. When that occurs, we will create a branch that will be cpp_utils against THAT release and a master branch that will always be against master branch of ESP-IDF. However, for a V3.0 based cpp_utils, there has to be an ESP-IDF that we all agree is v3.0.

Aha ... some more of the mystery being resolved ...
