Solo v2.2.0

New

• Two channel bots. Tools > Bot > Channel now has Bot 1 / Bot 2. Each one has its own channel, trigger, reply, commands, allowed list, actions and reply gap. For example, test → ok on #test and !batt !loc on #bot. Your current channel bot becomes Bot 1.
• Battery since boot and time left. The battery chart now goes back to when the device was switched on. Time left is worked out from how fast the battery has gone down since it was last unplugged, using your battery curve. It shows after 30 min on battery and says charging on USB. L2: Diagnostics > History. Other devices: Status > Power.
• SOS, from the feedback on #56:
  • The countdown now starts at 30 s by default, so there is time to stop an SOS started in a pocket.
  • The countdown ticks louder, whatever the volume, and blinks faster towards the end.
  • Advert can now be Off, 0-hop or Flood. The auto advert pauses while an SOS runs.
  • Hiding the SOS view tells you how to get back to it.

L2

• Keyboard:
  • The rows line up, and a comma sits beside the space bar.
  • Hold a key and slide along its accents. Let go on the one you want. The one you picked last comes first next time.
  • Tap shift twice quickly for caps lock.
  • Hold backspace: it deletes letters first, then whole words.
  • Taps register faster.
• Quick panel:
  • It follows your finger down from the status bar, and only a pull opens it, so a tap no longer opens it.
  • All eight tiles fit on one page.
  • The slide is smooth.
• Clock page: tap a field to go where its value comes from:
  • battery: the history chart;
  • GPS: the GPS screen;
  • contacts: Nodes;
  • unread: Messages;
  • a sensor: every sensor's reading.
• Clock from the internet without anything else using WiFi:
  • After start-up: with WiFi on and a network saved, the device connects once just to get the time, then turns WiFi off again.
  • Saving a network in Settings > WiFi also sets the clock.
• Favourites: no hint under the tiles.

Other devices (OLED and e-ink)

• E-ink burn-in: the panel now goes to sleep a second after each refresh, keeping the image. Before, a still screen stayed powered for hours and could burn in. A full refresh now happens every 10 partial ones by default, against ghosting.
• E-ink SOS: the countdown blinks on every frame and ticks on time, even during a slow refresh.

Fixes

• Nodes: with more contacts than rows, the list kept the first ones in the table, usually the ones made at home. In another town, none of the nodes around you showed, in the list or on the map. It now keeps the best ones: favourites, then the nearest or latest. Live and SOS shares always stay on the list. The L2 map ranks contacts by what is around the middle of the view.
• L2 chat: if a message came in while a message's menu was open, Reply / Path / Resend could act on the next message.
• L2 Gallery: the tabs respond while thumbnails are still loading, and the spacing is even.
• L2 SOS: the countdown blinks the backlight on a red screen instead of redrawing the whole screen, which tore.
• L2 keyboard: after sliding a finger off a held key, the next key you tapped was sometimes lost.

Notes

• No settings are reset. New options start at their defaults.
• L2 updates over WiFi from Settings > Firmware update once this release is published.
