+## Compilation Errors
+
+As commits are made to esp-idf and submodules, the codebases can develop incompatibilities which cause compilation errors.  If you have problems compiling, follow the instructions in [Issue #1142](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/issues/1142) to roll esp-idf back to a known good version.
