ESP32 build fails with memory issues after upgrading to PlatformIO 3.6.0a1

Hi there!

I was working last day and this morning with PlatformIO and had no issues at all.
I just upgraded to PlatformIO 3.6.0a1and since I’m not able to compile my ESP32 sketch anymore. It will fail with memory issues.

by downgrading to v3.5.3 compilation works.

Does firmware works with PIO Core 3.5.3? I see that DATA size excesses maximum allowed. We can disable this checking. You can check full memory details with PIO Core 3.6 via pio run -v.

Yes, it’s working on 3.5.3.

I’ve just temporary disabled checking for max data size

Please open PIO IDE Terminal and type pio upgrade --dev.

It is OK now.
Thanks!
