esp_wifi_set_auto_connect deprecated???

[JayLogue]

Later versions of esp-idf mark the esp_wifi_get_auto_connect() and esp_wifi_set_auto_connect() functions as deprecated. However no mention is made of an alternate API in either the comments or the commit message.

How is one supposed to control WiFi auto-connect in modern versions of esp-idf?

Ping. Any comment from the Espressif folks?

Did it ever really do anything except set a persistent variable? You could set your own NVS variable.

Unclear, since the source isn't included. Would like to hear that from the horse's mouth, though.

Did anyone ever get any joy on this one?

I'm new, so if esp_wifi_set_auto_connect() is a no starter with no replacement it would be good to know.
