No stable firmware for pico W?

[gofschreiber]

Hi,
on https://micropython.org/download no stable firmware version is listed for .../rp2-pico-w. .../rp2-pico/ has some.

• Is there a stable version for the pico W?
• Where can I find it?
• How can I make Thonny aware of it?
  Thanks!

For Pico W there exist "only" daily builds, with all recent updates and bug fixes. It is safe to use it. There will be a "stable" build once V1.20 will be published. With Thonny you should be able to select rp2040 as board type.

Thanks for your quick answer!
I guess I got irritated by the "unstable" in the name of the image.

Stable v1.19.1 was issued a couple of weeks before the Pico W was released on 2022-06-30. Nightly builds are almost always entirely safe to use. I now only use stable builds (when they're available) to see if a problem is really a bug in MicroPython or something in my code. So far, it's always been my code that was wrong.

Stay tuned, rumour has it that v1.20 is imminent!
