This is 2.5.0-alpha.0 with one thing changed: the LoRa bridge is switched on.

Pair a Meshtastic board over Bluetooth from the radios screen and the Nearby room and your direct
messages start riding LoRa too, well past the range of the radios in a phone. Group chats do not.
Nothing happens until you turn it on.

That is what this build is for. The LoRa side has never had a long run on real hardware, so expect it
to be rough, and nothing on F-Droid carries it.


Pre-release — a test build, not a shipping release. It is not on F-Droid, is not marked
Latest, and is not what F-Droid's Binaries: URL points at. Install it only if you mean to
test it.

Signed with Knit's distribution key (certificate b18a283d11797c2a84a008c1fcb9e1b864e7b4c3b301408f7a4a80624b0e631c) — the same key every off-Play Knit
build carries — so it installs straight over an existing F-Droid, GitHub or mesh-shared install
without an uninstall, and keeps your messages.

Going back to the current stable is not possible in place: Android refuses the versionCode
downgrade, so reverting costs an uninstall and everything stored on the device with it. The next
stable release will update over this build normally.

CI verified this APK is byte-identical, apart from the signature, to an independent unsigned
rebuild produced inside F-Droid's own buildserver image — the same reproducibility gate stable
releases pass.
