Changelog

All notable changes to Offband Meshcore. Pre-releases are tagged -beta.N / -rc.N.

1.1.2-rc.1 - 2026-06-28

Channel reply UX: replying focuses the composer, and one-click route-reply sends back along the path the message arrived on (#131, #106).
Device Info shows the connected radio's firmware version and model, and logs them to the app log on connect (#134).
GPS state query — when a GPS-capable radio (Offband firmware) has GPS enabled, read its live GPS state (detected / fix, coordinates, satellites) from Settings → Location (#135).

BLE write flood (recv_queue / send_queue full) during sync on slower links: the per-minute GPS refresh no longer re-initializes the whole device each minute (which had been re-walking channels and re-draining messages) (#140).
Repeater path-hash labels decode at the device's hash width, so multi-byte hashes render correctly (#115).

The fork-only GPS query (0xC1) is gated on firmware capability, so stock / non-Offband MeshCore radios are never sent a command they can't answer; the GPS status section is hidden on unsupported firmware (#144).

The connect-time contact load can hang (red sync bar stuck) if a contact frame is lost — there's no timeout/watchdog yet (#86); reconnect to clear it.
Companion message-sync may miss public history after a long offline gap (#91); a firmware-side fix is in progress.

Diagnostic logging of the Observer broker-pool fetch lifecycle (request sent, header count, completed with N brokers + timing, or failed with the reason) to the shared log, so a Share-logs capture shows in plain text whether a pool load succeeds or stalls (#108).

Observer broker pool no longer falsely reports "the device did not finish sending it" on large pools — the broker-list GET now uses an inactivity watchdog re-armed on each frame, so a pool that streams over several seconds completes instead of timing out at a fixed deadline (#103).

First public beta.

Observer config + MQTT broker editor: field-at-a-time SET with enabled-last activation, honest enable/disable that verifies the device actually applied the change, and broker runtime-state + resolved-default hints (#80, #89, #93).
Cross-platform file logging to a rotating file under the app support directory, with "Open logs folder" (desktop) / "Share logs" (mobile) on the log screen (#97).
Friendlier repeater path-hash labels (#90).
Self-contained Windows packaging that bundles the VC++ runtime so the zip runs on a clean machine (#96).

Channel sync advances immediately on a device error instead of stalling on empty channel slots (#82).
The BLE connect handshake retry is capped with backoff so it can't churn the connect or starve the contact-list load (#88).

Companion message-sync may miss public history after a long offline gap (#91); a firmware-side fix is in progress.
MQTT broker / Observer features require the firmware currently in review.
