Added

  • Connect over USB — plug a companion radio in with a USB cable instead of
    using Bluetooth. Devices you've connected to before show up as buttons for
    one-tap reconnecting.
  • Repeater support — you can now plug a MeshCore repeater into USB,
    not just a companion radio; the app detects which kind it is on its own. With
    special logging firmware it shows full detail for every packet; with normal
    firmware it shows what it can read from the repeater's logs.
  • Connect over WiFi (Android app only) — reach a WiFi companion over your
    network by typing in its IP address. Web browsers can't do this, so it works
    only in the Android app.
  • Android app niceties — it now shows the current status in the phone's
    notification bar (with a speaker icon while beep alerts are on, and a "paused"
    marker when capture is stopped), opens web links in your normal browser, and
    closes pop-ups when you press Back.
  • 3D map additions:
    • optionally show your own device's location on the map (off by default —
      while on it keeps asking the device for its position, which can drain the
      battery faster, so leave it off when you don't need it);
    • a Center on me button that recentres the map and then follows you as
      you move;
    • pin repeaters to the map and point the camera at one;
    • while capturing, the map keeps the area around you loaded so you don't drift
      off the edge.
  • Disconnect warning — a clear full-screen alert if the connection drops
    unexpectedly (cable unplugged, device reset, out of range). It stays quiet
    when you disconnect on purpose.

Changed

  • Tidier header — the connect/disconnect buttons and the status are grouped
    into one colour-coded box (red when disconnected, green when connected).
  • Sound is easier to notice — when the beep-on-each-packet sound is turned
    on, its control turns yellow so you can see at a glance that it's on.
  • Clearer repeater colors — brighter and easier to tell apart.

Fixed

  • Trace packets now show the correct route (they used to show the wrong path).
  • Your contacts list no longer sometimes fails to finish loading.
  • The 3D map's "Enable location" button no longer freezes when your phone's
    location is switched off — it works again once you turn location back on.
  • The same Bluetooth device no longer shows up several times in your list of
    saved devices.
  • The 3D map's fullscreen button now works in the Android app (it did nothing
    there before).

Plus lots of smaller improvements throughout.
