.. leading zeros are required for `frontmatter` to treat them as dates
rather than strings, apparently per the YAML specification.
This was done by script:
```py
import re
import datetime
import pathlib
import sys
import frontmatter
rx = re.compile(r'^(\s*)date_added:.*$', re.M)
for path_str in sys.argv[1:]:
print(path_str)
path = pathlib.Path(path_str)
post = frontmatter.load(path)
date_added = post.get("date_added", "")
if isinstance(date_added, datetime.date):
continue
if isinstance(date_added, str):
try:
date_added = datetime.datetime.strptime(date_added, "%Y-%m-%d")
except ValueError as exc:
print(f"Failed to parse date {date_added} in {path_str}: {exc}")
continue
date_added = date_added.date()
content = path.read_text("utf-8")
new_content = rx.sub(lambda m: f"{m.group(1)}date_added: {date_added}", content)
assert content != new_content
path.write_text(new_content, "utf-8")
```

What's Metro-shaped and has an ESP32-S3 WiFi module? What has a STEMMA QT connector for I2C devices and a Lipoly charger circuit? What has your favorite Espressif WiFi microcontroller and lots of memory for your next IoT project?
That's right - it's the new Adafruit Metro ESP32-*S3*! With native USB and a load of PSRAM, this board is perfect for use with CircuitPython or Arduino to add low-cost WiFi while retaining shield compatibility.
The ESP32-S3 is a highly-integrated, low-power, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi/BLE System-on-Chip (SoC) solution that has built-in native USB as well as some other interesting new technologies like Time of Flight distance measurements and AI acceleration. With its state-of-the-art power and RF performance, this SoC is an ideal choice for a wide variety of application scenarios relating to the Internet of Things (IoT), wearable electronics, and smart homes.
The Metro ESP32-S3 has a dual-core 240 MHz chip, so it is comparable to ESP32's dual-core. However, there is no Bluetooth Classic support, only Bluetooth LE. This chip is a great step up from the earlier ESP32-S2! This ESP32-S3 mini-module we are using on the Metro comes with massive 16 MB flash and 8 MB PSRAM, as well as lots of 512KB of SRAM so it's perfect for use with CircuitPython support or any time massive buffers are needed: for fast memory access use SRAM, for slower-but-roomier access use PSRAM. It's also great for use in ESP-IDF or with Arduino support.
Features:
- ESP32-S3 Dual Core 240MHz Tensilica processor - the next generation of ESP32-Sx, with native USB so it can act like a keyboard/mouse, MIDI device, disk drive, etc!
- Mini module has FCC/CE certification and comes with 16 MByte of Flash, 8 MByte PSRAM
- Power options - USB type C or Lipoly battery
- Built-in battery charging when powered over USB-C
- LiPoly battery monitor - MAX17048 chip actively monitors your battery for voltage and state of charge / percentage reporting over I2C
- Reset and DFU (BOOT0) buttons to get into the ROM bootloader (which is a USB serial port so you don't need a separate cable!)
- JTAG 2x5 Header for more intense debugging
- Serial debug output pins (optional, for checking the hardware serial debug console)
- STEMMA QT connector for I2C devices, with switchable power, so you can go into low power mode.
- On/Charge/User LEDs + status NeoPixel with pin-controlled power for low power usage
- Low Power friendly! In deep sleep mode we can get down to ~100uA of current draw from the Lipoly connection. Quiescent current is from the power regulator, ESP32-S3 chip, and Lipoly monitor. Turn off the NeoPixel and external I2C power for the lowest quiescent current draw.
- Works with ESP-IDF, Arduino or CircuitPython
