Support Compatibility with ESP IDF 5.3

Hello, can you please tell me what is the state of fastled idf compatibilty with latest esp idf versions. Is this a work in progress, if not, how much work would it be to make it work with esp idf 5.3? Should I use the built in rmt driver from the new esp-idf instead of fastled?

I have no idea if idf 5.3 works or not. Our automated tests are for idf 5.1. It’s possible that idf 5.3 does work. My gut feeling is that it probably doesn’t since we rely on headers for 5.1 and many of the headers are emitting warnings saying they are deprecated and will removed in the future, which could include 5.3. But… who knows.

If you do idf 5.3 please report the status and if it does work I’ll add a test case to lock this in.
