    [v5.25.0] - 2026-07-31

    Highlights

    • Reticulum at scale: local LXMF PN hosting, Direct→remote-PN delivery fallback, inbound LXMF recovery under announce/wire_packet storms, IFAC private networks, RMAP/RNCP hardening, and peer ceilings toward 100k.
    • Chat & App UX: inline image embeds + YouTube previews, always-visible message actions, color save/restore, 24-hour clocks, Nomad page identity fixes and retries.
    • Architecture: Meshtastic/MeshCore packet ingress is PacketRouter-only with identity-store writes; pnpm 11 + Flatpak offline packaging; broad audit/security/i18n follow-ups.
    • Polish: RMAP X of Y publish status, RNCP unreachable-dest blocking + pending-offer UX, Linux Web Bluetooth chooser fix for AppImage/deb/rpm.
    • Release tooling: Safer pnpm 11 / hoisted-dedupe release path, MetaInfo version from package.json, and pnpm run release --finish recovery.

    What's Changed

    Reticulum — messaging & propagation

    • Local PN hosting — Announce, /offer//get, autopeer, and persisted peering policy under Network → Advanced PN hosting, with enable/danger-zone confirms and TS↔Rust policy drift checks (#731)
    • Direct→PN fallback — One-shot deposit via preferred remote PN when Direct fails; Chat shows Stored at propagation node; link-timeout no longer races fallback to Failed; manual Retry reuses the failed bubble and keeps Completes green (#725, #731)
    • Propagation sync reliability — Pin PN identity during sync; LXMF delivery announce (+ settle / path refresh) before remote Sync; Establishing stall ~45s; auto-sync from last success with failure cooldown; clearer NoLinkProof / establish errors; mid-sync refresh keeps active attempt stamps (#718, #720, #723, #731)
    • Discovered PNs — Opt-in UI from lxmf.propagation announces (Add / Add & prefer); persist/rehydrate discovered public keys (#718, #720)
    • Inbound LXMF under large meshes — Stop live wire_packet WS flood; buffer + GET /api/v1/lxmf/recent catch-up on connect/reconnect/events_lagged; coalesce announce.received storms; Diagnostics reticulum/announce-bus-pressure; poll packets while Sniffer/Stats open (#738, #739)
    • Large-mesh peers — Toward 100k peer/destination caps; longer mega-mesh refresh; skip warm dumps; larger WS added batches; Probe/Path no longer force full path-table dumps; Peers panel cheaper prepares; shared reticulum:proxy cap 120→300/min with expected rate-limit backoff (#745)

    Reticulum — interfaces, map, BLE, Remote, RRC

    • IFAC private networksnetwork_name / passphrase on add/edit; Advanced key=value editor; preserve unknown INI keys via extra_config; live stats merge keeps IFAC/seed fields for edit forms (#722, #724)
    • Interface modes — Docs for rnsd modes + in-UI modeDescriptions under Connection → Interfaces (#708)
    • RMAP — Discovery announce egress overlay so Boundary hubs (e.g. rmap.world) receive announces; Interfaces RMAP checkbox uses the same restart confirm as Network publish; persist announce interval / reachable / height prefs to SQLite; X of Y publishing covera …
  2. v5.24.1 # 18 days ago · 2026-07-21 00:06 UTC

    [v5.24.1] - 2026-07-20

    Highlights

    • MeshCore repeater admin: paginated Neighbors with Load more, clearer disconnect toasts, and safer CLI quick commands.
    • Reticulum RNode: Wi‑Fi TCP keepalive so idle links stop dropping around ~6s, plus clearer macOS BLE pairing (in-panel PIN, 60s passkey window, less reconnect thrash).

    What's Changed

    Features

    • MeshCore repeater admin — Paginated Neighbors with Load more (Repeaters panel + node detail), disconnect toasts for Status/Telemetry/Neighbors, and safer CLI quick pills (clock, clock sync, clear stats, advert, board) (#697)

    Bug Fixes

    • Reticulum RNode TCP keepalive — Overlay rsReticulum activity keepalive so Wi‑Fi RNodes do not idle-FIN around ~6s (#698)
    • macOS BLE RNode pairing UX — Surface Admin Start pairing PIN in-panel (never Meshtastic 123456), extend connect grace/hints to ~60s for the OS passkey window, latch blePairingTimedOut into Connection + Diagnostics, and debounce pairing-transition reconnect thrash (#698)
    • Meshtastic node delete — Wire Node Detail Confirm delete to the Meshtastic runtime so the button actually removes the node (#695)
    • Meshtastic disconnect teardown — Abort inbound fromDevice pipe before awaiting toDevice.close, tolerate abrupt writable close errors, and reduce reconnect flakiness after serial/BLE disconnect (#693)

    Other Changes

    • Faster pre-commit — Staged-related Vitest (test:staged), staged ESLint with cache, and path-gated check:* scanners; PR CI and pnpm run release still run the full suite (#696)
    • Patches / deps — Track upstream patch PRs in patches/README.md and Ratspeak overlay registry; sync usb MSVC C++17 build flags; routine dependency bumps (#693, #694)

    Breaking Changes

    (None)

  3. v5.24.0 # 20 days ago · 2026-07-19 00:29 UTC

    [v5.24.0] - 2026-07-18

    Highlights

    Reticulum grows into a full comms suite this release: a new Relay Chat (RRC) IRC-style multi-hub client, a Remote tab for rnsh shells and rncp file transfer, watch-folder Nomad hosting with an upgraded Micron renderer, identity slots, propagation-node rename/delete, and much faster Peers at large path-table sizes. A broad protocol-parity pass adds QR generation/scan, lxm:// deep links, GPX export, LoRa signal metering, Meshtastic module event history, and per-send MeshCore flood-scope presets (now behind a split Send button). Messaging is more resilient (one-click location share, chat outbox drain on reconnect, extended reconnect budgets, humanized send-NAK errors), and cold-start BLE is serialized so an RNode connects before the RF radios. MeshCore MQTT now steers non-Colorado users to LetsMesh by default.

    What's Changed

    Features

    • Reticulum Remote tab (rnsh + rncp) — New Remote tab (Shell / Transfer / Saved / Settings) with an xterm shell, file send/fetch/listen, saved address book + inbound policy, and Chat DM rncp controls; trust-boundary hardening (picker-backed save dirs, size/offer caps, allow/block lists) (#692, implements #688, #689)
    • Reticulum Relay Chat (RRC) — IRC-style multi-pane client with up to 8 concurrent hub sessions, Favourites/Discovered hub picker, rooms + nicklist, /-command router, @mention unread badges + tray/toast notifications, and SQLite-persisted room history with retention pruning (#680, fixes #648)
    • Watch-folder Nomad hosting + Micron rendering — Host bounded static Nomad Network sites from a watched folder with auto-restore and filesystem watching; vendored RFnexus Micron parser adds table/anchor/partial support (#683, closes #613)
    • Protocol parity tools — Meshtastic module event history, LoRa signal metering, GPX export, MeshCore MCU temperature parsing, per-send flood-scope overrides, QR generation + camera/file ingest, custom lxm:// deep links, cross-platform camera permissions, and Reticulum identity slots with restart-based switching + contact fingerprint verification (9890611e, fixes #218, #477)
    • MeshCore flood-scope presets — User-managed scope list (seeded from the radio hashtag, cap 20) replacing Colorado/Denver hardcodes; scope now lives behind a chevron split-Send menu instead of an always-visible select (#692)
    • Messaging resilience — One-click chat location share (OSM text + optional Meshtastic waypoint) with outbox enqueue on failure, chat outbox drain on RF reconnect, extended BLE/serial reconnect budgets (8 attempts) with transport-aware "reconnecting N/M" banner, conservative/aggressive Store & Forward catch-up setting, and a hung-only Reticulum sidecar health watchdog (#692)
    • Reticulum propagation node management — Rename/delete remote propagation nodes with confirm dialog and persistence guards (#679)
    • Scale Reticulum Peers — Incremental peers_updated patches, path-table TTL, forced ?refresh=1 dumps, batched Map updates, and retention parity (hard 100k ceiling / 50k user cap) keep the UI responsive at ~50k peers ([#677](https://github.com/Colorado-Mesh/mesh-client/pull/677
