Lack of publication date in the reference documentation #435

Description

@rtek1000

Hello,

I don't know if this is the right place, but I would suggest that reference posts have the publication date, so that the user can consider looking for a more current data source.

In particular, the reference below (delaymicroseconds) cites a limitation that may have been improved, but the reference does not have a publication date, so we have no way of knowing if there is a delay in updating the documentation.

https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/language/functions/time/delaymicroseconds/

With AVR processors largest delayMicroseconds() is 16383

I had seen this information, but I tried it with 50ms and apparently had no problem. I don't know if the current code is capable of operating with the full 32 bits, and only the documentation is out of date. But there is a caveat in the documentation:

This could change in future Arduino releases

Hello @rtek1000 sorry for the late reply, we took it long time ago your feedback into consideration and revamped multiple times the system to make it better, having a new revamp soon, thanks!
