v1.6.1 - Multibyte Decoder Migration and Routing Compatibility
v1.6.1
This release updates the map to use a patched MeshCore decoder with multibyte repeater-prefix support, preparing the app for upcoming 2-byte and 3-byte routing changes.
Highlights
- Replaced the official
@michaelhart/meshcore-decoderpackage withmeshcore-decoder-multibyte-patch - Added route prefix support for:
- 1-byte prefixes:
AB - 2-byte prefixes:
ABCD - 3-byte prefixes:
ABCDEF
- 1-byte prefixes:
- Updated route normalization and matching so mixed-width paths can be resolved in the same network
- Expanded route tests to cover mixed 1/2/3-byte path handling and exact-prefix matching
Why this release
MeshCore is moving toward multibyte repeater prefixes. The previous official decoder was a blocker for that rollout.
This release switches the map to a patched decoder that can ingest and decode those path formats now.
Current support status
- Multibyte path ingest is working in development
- Live path strings with 1-byte, 2-byte, and 3-byte segments have been observed during testing
- The app is intended to be ready for upcoming multibyte repeater rollouts
- Not tested in a mixed-network environment. I am currently unable to test this in my mesh. Please open an Issue if you encounter any problems related to this feature.
Notes
- Show Hops now documents and expects plain prefix display such as
AB,ABCD, andABCDEF - This release focuses on decoder and routing compatibility and does not introduce UI features
