wadamesh beta_44 (test channel) adds an on-device text web browser, makes links in chat tappable, and fixes the French keyboard's missing spacebar.

Flash it from flasher.wadamesh.com (flip the Beta toggle), or grab a -merged.bin below (flash at 0x0). On the device, beta testers can also enable Settings → Get test builds (beta).

New - on-device web browser

A new Web app opens a URL and shows the page as plain, readable text - articles, wikis, docs, plain sites - right on the device. No proxy, no tracking, no JavaScript or images: just the words. Links are tappable, with back / forward / refresh.

The browser needs the RAM only the 8 MB boards have (T-Deck, Tanmatsu), so it is hidden on the 2 MB Heltec V4 - that board can't complete an on-device HTTPS handshake.

New - tappable links in chat

Links in a chat now render in blue. Tap one for a small menu:

  • Open in web - loads the page in the on-device browser (8 MB boards).
  • Create QR - shows a scannable QR code so you can open the link on your phone. This works on every board, including the Heltec V4 - so even where the browser isn't available, you can still bounce a link to your phone.

Fixed

  • French (AZERTY) on-screen keyboard: the spacebar (and the OK / keyboard-switch keys) are back in the normal letter view. You no longer have to switch to the symbols page just to type a space. (A stray empty entry was cutting the keyboard map short.)
  • Heltec V4: web page fetching and map tiles are more resilient when memory is tight.
  • Home signal & traffic box: the "tap for details" cue is back at the top of the box.

This is a test-channel (beta) build. Devices on the beta update feed will offer it; stable stays on beta_40.
