 To help you to eliminate `hardcoding` your Wifi and Blynk credentials for ESP8266 and ESP32 (with / wwithout SSL), and updating/reflashing every time when you need to change them.
 
+With version `v1.0.7` or later, you now can configure:
+
+1. `Multiple WiFi Credentials (SSID, Password) and system will autoconnect to the best and available WiFi SSID.`
+2. `Multiple Blynk Credentials (Server, Token) and system will autoconnect to the available Blynk Servers.`
+
+With version `v1.0.5` or later, you now can configure:
+
+1. `Config Portal Static IP address, Name and Password.`
+2. `Static IP address, Gateway, Subnet Mask and 2 DNS Servers IP addresses.`

+You can see that the system automatically detect and connect to the best or avaiable WiFi APs and/or Blynk Servers, whenever interruption happens. This feature is very useful for systems requiring high degree of reliability.
+
+Moreover, this `Blynk.begin()` is not a blocking call, so you can use it for critical functions requiring in loop(). 
 Anyway, this is better for projects using Blynk just for GUI (graphical user interface).
 
 In operation, if WiFi or Blynk connection is lost, `Blynk.run()` will try reconnecting automatically. Therefore, `Blynk.run()` must be called in the `loop()` function. Don't use:

+### Releases v1.0.6
+
+***Why this version***
+
+Optimize, fix ESP32 EEPROM size to 2K from 4K, shorten code size, add functions, use dynamically allocated Config Portal WebServer.
+
+### Releases v1.0.5
+
+***Why this version***
+
+Normally, the `default Portal IP (192.168.4.1)`, SSID and PW as well as the `dynamically allocated` board's IP address are good enough.
+In special cases where there is conflict, if static IP is required or bad router's DNS settings, you can use the new features to force the configurable IP addresses. ***But please use with care to avoid potential issues.***
+
+***New in this version***
+
+Add new features to enable :
+
