We are pleased to offer EdgeTX "Jolly Mon" v2.11.7, a maintenance release recommended for all users on the 2.11 firmware series. But, as with any update, please ensure you back up your model and radio settings before updating, fully bench-test your models after updating, and report any issues you encounter. Thank you for all the feedback and testing by you, the community (and partner manufacturers) which has allowed us to identify and squash both new and old bugs!! We simply cannot have done this without you! 🤗 🍻
Note
MacOS users
Companion is now only compiled for MacOS 12 and above. Stay with v2.10.5 or earlier if you need support for an older version of MacOS.

Known Limitations and Issues
- Wireless Model Trainer and CRSF/ELRS - if using the Multi Protocol Module (MPM) as a wireless trainer in conjunction with CRSF/ELRS, do not go above 250 Hz, otherwise the MPM wireless trainer will be dropped. 250 Hz or below is stable.
- Due to a change in how the battery voltage calculation is done, you may want to double-check the accuracy of your measured battery voltage if you have calibrated it in the past. #5635, #6255

Language and Custom builds
The CloudBuild option in EdgeTX Buddy will allow you build your own (supported) language firmware, via the language flag option. Additionally, EdgeTX Companion also has some support for CloudBuild, and will automatically fetch firmware for a supported language when you use the "Update components" option. But you can also build your own firmware online following this guide, request a specific build at #6165 or ask on Discord for someone to build one for you.
