Note

• Here are two branch of esp8266_at，
  branch “master” is the source code which will be official released after test，
  branch “developing” is the source code in developing.
  Please submit your code on branch “developing” , and we will merge it to branch “master” if test pass.
  
• In folder "bin",
  sub-folder "newest" keeps the latest bin which just be generated,
  sub-folder "v0.20" keeps the official released bin of version 0.20.
