WHAT are "promises"???
See
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise>.
I read it and still do not understand it. Maybe you will do better.
I did not understand it either. Since it is so obscure, perhaps, in
the release notes, there should be a (very) large
information box with instructions to disable promises.
When a function is called it normally succeeds or fails, but with a
communications
interface there is also the interminal no-answer-yet, in other words a
"hang!" So
instead of hanging or failing or succeeding there is now a 'promise'
that means
"my server is not dead, but we'll have our people call your people".

thanks for that explanation. I was thinking that these Promises might
help scripts from hanging.
