Great suggestion @5chufti. Have had times when I thought I was running one of the released versions when if fact it was git version. Would help in such cases as well. |

In tools menu, boards belonging to each platform are grouped together. The title of the groups is the board package name. When switching between versions, mentioning the version number in package name helps identify the installed version. Rename board group from "ESP8266 Modules" to "ESP8266 Boards", to be more similar to other platforms, and to reflect the fact that most entries included are boards, not modules. As an extra change, when building the boards manager package, set version number in platform.txt based on git tag name. This saves one step when creating the release — don't need to update platform.txt twice. Closes #5007.

would it be possible to append version to the name, so one gets info about the installed version when selecting an esp board (modules)?
instead of
"Boards" instead of "Modules" just to be inline with the rest ...
