   wadamesh beta_9

   A reliability-focused drop — Wi-Fi recovery, a self-healing chat-history fix, crash-report export, plus room-server, map, contacts and app-drawer improvements.

   Install / update: flash from flasher.wadamesh.com, grab it in LauncherHub, or use the on-device update check (Settings → About).

   Stability

   • Wi-Fi now reconnects on its own after the link drops — no more rebooting to get back online.
   • Fixed reboot-on-every-received-message: a corrupted chat-history file could make the device reboot whenever a message arrived (and hide your messages). The bad file is now detected and reset automatically, so it recovers on its own.
   • Boot hardening: NULL-guards on the display draw buffer so a unit with quirky/limited memory degrades gracefully instead of getting stuck on the boot logo.

   Crash reports

   • After a crash, Settings → About shows an "Export crash report" button that saves the crash dump to the microSD card — so you can send it to the devs and get the bug fixed.

   Chat & room servers

   • Room-server messages now show the time each message was actually sent, not when it arrived.
   • Room-server messages now show who sent them.
   • Sharing your contact QR now produces a valid meshcore://contact/add?… code that the MeshCore phone app can scan and import.
   • Unread counts show "99+" instead of an alarming raw number on busy channels.

   Map

   • The reload button for corrupt tiles now actually clears the cached tiles — including when you're offline — and the missing/blank "twilight zone" tiles re-download on their own.
   • Fixed tiles not re-fetching at zoom levels 13–15.

   Contacts

   • Favourited contacts always appear in the contact list now, even with hundreds of similarly-named contacts (they used to stay hidden until you searched).

   App drawer

   • New icon-size setting — tap the cog at the top-right of the app drawer to switch between Compact and Large (bigger icons + labels, easier to read).
   • Smoother scrolling through the app list and the other scrollable lists.

   wadamesh beta_8

   Polish + fixes for the touch UI — a faster chat acknowledgement, map readout controls, and an internal-memory trim.

   Install / update: flash from flasher.wadamesh.com, grab it in LauncherHub, or use the on-device update check (Settings → About).

   Chat

   • Quick replies insert at the cursor instead of replacing whatever you'd already typed.
   • New one-tap "Ack" — long-press any message and tap Ack. It drops a ready-to-send reply into the composer with that message's signal strength (SNR/RSSI) and the route it took (hop codes), so you can instantly confirm someone's test came through. On a channel it @-mentions the sender. You review and send — it's never auto-sent.
   • Fixed the message action menu (Ack / Copy / Info / Mention / Block) running off the bottom of the screen — it now fits, and scrolls if it ever needs to.

   Map

   • The zoom button now shows a clear "+/-" icon.
   • Show or hide each on-map readout independently in Map settings — the coordinates line, the tile x/y/z line, and the contact markers.
   • Map settings reorganised: the microSD-tiles switch sits at the top under its own heading, separated from the new visibility toggles.
   • New auto-refresh button — turn it on and the map re-centres on you automatically whenever your position changes, with an on-screen Auto-refresh on/off confirmation.
   • Fixed the close (X) in Map settings overlapping the switches when the panel was scrolled.

   Performance

   • Reclaimed ~19 KB of internal RAM (scratch buffers moved to PSRAM), leaving more headroom for Wi-Fi and trimming the idle-memory growth seen in recent betas.

   wadamesh beta_7 for the LilyGo T-Deck and Heltec V4 TFT.

   🔧 Flash in your browser: https://flasher.wadamesh.com — or update on-device (Settings → check for update), or side-load wadamesh-tdeck.bin through Launcher.

   🙌 Most of this release was built by the community. @Vybo (Dan Vybiral) contributed the lion's share in #12 — the Snake game, battery & telemetry history, map night mode, the PNG/BMP image viewer, and the entire status-bar toolkit. @tun0 (Ruben Laban) fixed unread badges and chat-history persistence in #15. Thank you both. 🎉

   🐍 Snake game — by @Vybo (#12)

   A Snake game in the app drawer — steer by swiping the screen or with the T-Deck trackball, with pause/resume and restart after a game over. (Touch now stays inside the game and doesn't leak to the screen behind it.)

   🔋 Battery & telemetry — by @Vybo (#12)

   • Tap the battery in the status bar for a 24-hour history chart with an estimated time-left readout (logged every 5 minutes).
   • Per-node telemetry window — poll a node's battery, temperature and humidity, watch them on a live chart, and keep a per-node log.

   🗺️ Map — by @Vybo (#12)

   • Night mode — the status bar and tab bar invert to match the dark map.
   • Live zoom-level readout above the zoom slider, and a proper magnifier icon on the zoom button.
   • New "Show on map" contact action that centres the map on that node.

   📊 Status bar & tools — by @Vybo (#12)

   • A microSD activity LED that lights on card access (including file-manager reads/copies).
   • An activity spinner while a telemetry / admin / ping / trace / range / sightline request is in flight.
   • Option to hide the device name and move the clock left.
   • Hold the status bar to save a full-screen screenshot to SD.

   🖼️ Files & images — by @Vybo (#12)

   The file browser now previews PNG and BMP images (not just JPEG), with no stale image when opening several in a row.

   💬 Chat reliability

   • Fixed garbled / duplicated messages — chat text is no longer corrupted in transit, so messages arrive intact and duplicates are filtered out correctly. Thanks to @marcelverdult for the precise report (#13).
   • Accurate unread badges and more chat history kept across reboots — by @tun0 (#15).

   ✨ Also in this release

   • Lock-screen wallpaper from Files — view any JPEG on your SD card and tap "Set as wallpaper".
   • Set your own Bluetooth pairing code in Settings.
   • The app drawer fits all the apps again (no clipped bottom row) and shows a scrollbar when there's more to scroll.
   • Fixed map-tile caching (false "storage full"); black/missing tiles re-download. @-reply no longer overwrites text you were typing. Fixed an out-of-memory crash and made notification audio more reliable.
