Title: Offband MeshCore 1.8.0, and Offband MeshCore is on the App Store

Offband MeshCore 1.8.0 is out. It's a channels release: message history now belongs to the channel itself rather than the slot it occupies on your radio, every channel write waits for the radio to confirm it, and the app no longer keeps history out of sight where it could reappear later.

Full release notes, downloads and known issues: https://github.com/OffbandMesh/meshcore-client/releases/tag/v1.8.0

Now on iPhone

Offband MeshCore is on the App Store, for iOS 16.4 or newer: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/offband-meshcore/id6829124741

The App Store has 1.7.0 today. 1.8.0 goes up once Apple has reviewed it.

Before you update

  • Hidden history is cleared. On its first full sync with a radio, 1.8.0 deletes the stored history of any channel that radio no longer holds. Channels on your radio are not touched. If any slot went unanswered or erased, nothing is deleted. If a reflash erased the radio's channel storage, the app keeps the history and offers Restore to radio.
  • Slot 0 is kept for Public on every radio. On stock or older firmware without Public, that slot goes unused.
  • New text is English-only for now in the other 17 languages.

What's new

  • Channels: history, unread counts and notification settings follow the channel's key. Changing a key asks whether to keep or delete the history. Adds can't overwrite another channel. Public stays in slot 0 and can't be deleted. An incomplete sync keeps your list and offers Retry sync. Restore to radio puts back channels a radio lost and reports what it confirmed.
  • Your radio's settings (Offband firmware 1.7.0 or newer): per-channel Radio sound, separate from phone notifications, plus display mode, status LED and display rotation.
  • Any radio: BLE pairing PIN and Factory Reset, with an option to delete that radio's data from the app.
  • Fixed: blocks stored on the radio, Serial capture's radio log, CoreScope observer counts and observer settings could be hidden by a firmware version check.
  • macOS: a desktop build signed and notarized by Apple is part of each release. It appears on the release page once Apple accepts it. It's new and hasn't had a full test pass.
  • Share logs and About work without a radio. Bluetooth scan errors stay on screen. Every map shows the OpenStreetMap credit. Long menus scroll, and links beside @mentions can be tapped.

Known issues

  • A channel's phone notifications set to Off can still notify (#1121).
  • A factory reset deletes the app data only on the phone that sent it (#1123).
  • On a T1000-E, QCC badge or Heltec T096 running firmware 1.7.0, the Status LED switch appears but the radio refuses it (#1132).
  • A Display or LED change can be undone by an older reading arriving just after it (#1124).
  • A contact add the radio refuses because its table is full shows as added (#1028).
  • On a T1000-E, Position Reporting Interval says it saved when the radio refused it (#1134).
