I am working on a project that needs the CapacitiveSensor library. But if I try to upload the code to the board I get the following error:

Code: Select allArduino: 1.6.5 (Windows 10), Board: "Adafruit HUZZAH ESP8266, 80 MHz, 115200"

Build options changed, rebuilding all

- Fri Nov 06, 2015 12:32 pm #33282 The original link is for the version v4, which doesn't support ESP, but it is mentioned that a newer version v5 is hosted there :

In this v5 version, we can clearly see that ESP has been added in this commit on Apr 25 :
