Build fails with PackageException due to outdated ESPAsyncWebServer (~2.0.7) dependency

[xiaonote64-dev]

What happened?

When trying to compile the latest release (1.3.0) or the master branch using PlatformIO in VSCode, the build fails during dependency resolution with this error:

PackageException: Package version X.X.X+sha.xxxx doesn't satisfy requirements: ~2.0.7
for ESPAsyncWebServer from https://github.com/Aircoookie/ESPAsyncWebServer.git

This happens because platformio.ini still contains this line:

https://github.com/Aircoookie/ESPAsyncWebServer.git @ ~2.0.7

This pins an old version from the Aircoookie fork that is no longer compatible with the current PlatformIO registry, which provides much newer versions (3.x+).

Simply removing or commenting out that line fixes the problem completely. Even better, adding these two lines to lib_deps works perfectly with modern WLED code:

ESP32Async/ESPAsyncWebServer
ESP32Async/AsyncTCP

After deleting the .pio folder and rebuilding, everything compiles without any issues.

Could you please update platformio.ini in the repository to remove the outdated dependency (or switch to the registry versions)? This would save new users from running into this common build error.

I've attached a screenshot of the error for reference.

Thanks a lot for your time and for maintaining this great project!

To Reproduce Bug

Steps to reproduce:

1. Download the latest release (1.3.0) or clone the master branch from https://github.com/imeszaros/ledclock
2. Open the project folder in VSCode with the PlatformIO extension installed
3. Delete the .pio folder (if it exists) to ensure a clean build
4. In PlatformIO sidebar, go to Project Tasks → General → Clean
5. Then click Build (or run Project Tasks → [your environment, e.g. esp32dev] → Build)
6. The build fails during "Resolving dependencies" with the PackageException error for ESPAsyncWebServer (~2.0.7)

Expected Behavior
