hi,
is there a way to find the version of FreeRTOS kernel currently used?
in some header files there is currently written "FreeRTOS Kernel V10.2.1"
(https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/bl ... tos/list.c),
but in the subfolders there is written "FreeRTOS V8.2.0"
(https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/bl ... nsa/port.c).

The documentation for 4.2 release states https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... ertos.html
ESP-IDF FreeRTOS is based on the Xtensa port of FreeRTOS v8.2.0, however some functions of FreeRTOS v9.0.0 have been backported. See the Backported Features for more information.

thank you.
i just realized, that the "master" branch is not equal to the "release/4.2" branch.
at the moment, in the master branch there is a mix of FreeRTOS kernel from 10.2.1 down to 8.2.0 in the header files.
in the release/4.2 not.

so i think for "master" branch i have to use the "latest" docs.
