LXMF-rs v0.7.1

LXMF-rs v0.7.1 Release Notes

Date: 2026-07-07
Release ref: v0.7.1

This patch release follows the v0.7.0 SDK-first release train with focused
Reticulum interface additions and operator-facing documentation. It keeps the
public package and GitHub bundle versions aligned at 0.7.1.

The maintained parity source of truth remains docs/status/current-roadmap.md,
with row-level detail in docs/status/reticulum-parity-matrix.md and
docs/status/lxmf-parity-matrix.md.

Scope

• Adds a Columba-compatible reticulum_ble daemon interface scaffold for
  BLE-to-BLE Reticulum peer communication.
• Adds the transport-side RNode Bluetooth Classic/SPP KISS runtime scaffold.
• Adds maintained documentation for the new RNode SPP transport boundary.
• Adds a disabled-by-default reticulumd interface reference configuration
  covering supported interface kinds, settings, and compatibility aliases.

Highlights Since v0.7.0

• reticulumd now accepts reticulum_ble plus the AndroidBLE,
  AndroidBLEInterface, and BLEInterface aliases, with Columba Protocol
  v2.2 UUID defaults and runtime status metadata for the scaffolded backend.
• The daemon-side Reticulum BLE protocol layer includes identity tracking,
  Columba-compatible fragment/reassembly logic, role-deduplication policy, and
  focused protocol tests.
• reticulum-rs-transport now exposes rnode_spp, a backend-neutral
  Bluetooth Classic/RFCOMM SPP runtime for RNode KISS byte streams.
• RNode SPP startup enforces the configured connect timeout so a stalled
  Bluetooth discovery or RFCOMM open returns a typed timeout instead of hanging
  the interface task.
• The new docs/interfaces/rnode-spp.md page documents the SPP runtime
  contract, Bluetooth boundary, KISS flow-control behavior, verification, and
  current daemon limitations.
• crates/apps/reticulumd/examples/interfaces-reference.toml provides a
  safe, disabled-by-default catalog of supported reticulumd interface types,
  parameters, and compatibility aliases.

Current Version Train

Validation Record

• Release metadata preparation updated the workspace VERSION, public package
  versions, path dependency versions, release notes, and current README release
  references for v0.7.1.
• Focused Reticulum BLE validation covers config normalization, Columba UUID
  defaults, fragment/reassembly behavior, role policy, peer identity tracking,
  and startup runtime status.
• Focused RNode SPP validation covers startup writes, stream-byte packet
  decoding, READY-driven flow-control flushing, and connect-timeout
  enforcement.
• Focused daemon config validation covers the maintained
  interfaces-reference.toml sample through the real DaemonConfig parser.

Known Limits

• reticulum_ble currently exposes daemon protocol/status scaffolding; native
  OS dual-role BLE central/peripheral backends remain pending.
• rnode_spp currently exists as a transport-side runtime scaffold, not a
  reticulumd interface kind.
• Prepared-host hardware evidence remains required before making production
  claims for broader BLE, RNode BLE, RNode SPP, RNodeMulti, Weave, VR-N76, and
  serial-radio deployments.
• Full Python Reticulum/LXMF surface parity is not achieved.

What's Changed

• Add RNode SPP transport scaffold by @brothercorvo in #403
• Add Columba-compatible Reticulum BLE interface by @brothercorvo in #402
• Document RNode Bluetooth SPP interface by @brothercorvo in #404
