on GitHub

What's New in v2.16.4

This release includes critical fixes for custom theme functionality and serial device connection reliability, along with documentation improvements.

🎨 Custom Theme Fixes

Custom themes now properly apply across all UI components with full CSS variable support. The theme editor has been improved to ensure themes work correctly when selected.

• Complete CSS variable injection for custom themes
• Fixed theme application in Settings tab
• Proper theme switching for all 26 color variables
• Comprehensive unit tests for theme functionality

🔧 Connection Reliability

Fixed a critical issue where serial-connected devices would stop being monitored after periods of inactivity, requiring manual reconnection or restart.

• Application-level stale connection monitoring
• Configurable timeout via MESHTASTIC_STALE_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT (default: 5 minutes)
• Automatic reconnection when no data received within timeout
• Handles "zombie connection" scenarios with USB passthrough

PR: #510 | Issue: #492

📚 Documentation

• Fixed color variable count (28 → 26) in migration documentation
• Updated GitHub issues URL from placeholder to actual repository
