MeshMonitor v2.8.0

This release brings map customization with multiple tileset options, improved mobile UX, and enhanced node filtering capabilities.

✨ New Features

🗺️ Map Tileset Selection (#240)

Users can now choose from 6 different map tilesets to customize their map experience:

• OpenStreetMap - Standard and Humanitarian styles
• CartoDB - Dark Matter and Positron (light) themes
• OpenTopoMap - Topographical map with elevation contours
• Esri World Imagery - High-resolution satellite imagery

Key Features:

• Tileset preferences stored in database and localStorage
• Cross-browser persistence (settings follow you across devices)
• Desktop: Collapsible tileset selector in Settings tab
• Mobile: Full integration with existing settings
• Anonymous users can access and save tileset preferences
• Service worker caching for all tile providers

Technical:

• New tilesets configuration system (src/config/tilesets.ts)
• Updated CSP headers to allow all tile providers
• Enhanced service worker for multi-provider tile caching
• Removed permission check from GET /api/settings for anonymous access

🎯 Improved Node Filtering (#243)

Complete overhaul of node filter behavior for more intuitive UX:

New Filter Logic:

• ✅ Checked = Only show nodes WITH that attribute (requirement filter)
• ⬜ Unchecked (default) = Show ALL nodes regardless of attribute

Available Filters:

• MQTT Nodes - Show only MQTT gateway nodes
• Telemetry Data - Show only nodes reporting telemetry
• Environment Metrics - Show only nodes with weather/environment data
• Position Data - Show only nodes with GPS coordinates
• PKI/PKC - Show only nodes with public key infrastructure

Benefits:

• Start with all nodes visible by default
• Progressively narrow down by checking boxes
• More intuitive than previous exclusion logic
• Filters act as "show me only nodes with X" requirements

📱 Mobile UX Improvements (#243)

Filter Popup

• Reduced width to 70% on mobile (prevents overflow)
• Fixed header and footer stay in place
• Only content area scrolls
• Restructured with flexbox for proper positioning

Node List (Map Page)

• Positioned tight to corner when expanded (matching collapsed state)
• Width optimized for mobile: 90vw (max 350px)
• Auto-collapse when clicking nodes with position data
• Better space utilization on small screens

Technical Fixes:

• Resolved CSS cascade issues where desktop styles overrode mobile rules
• Added !important flags to ensure mobile styles apply correctly
• Fixed header/footer positioning with flexbox layout

🔧 Bug Fixes

Apprise Configuration (#243)

• Fixed "URLs array is required" error when saving Apprise configuration
• Now properly handles empty arrays (clears all URLs)
• Filters out whitespace and invalid entries automatically
• Users can successfully save even with blank lines

Telemetry Chart Alignment (#242)

• Synchronized time axis across all telemetry charts on Messages page
• Global time range from earliest data to current time
• Easier temporal comparisons across different metrics
• Visual consistency with Dashboard page behavior

📖 Documentation

Configuration Documentation (#241)

• Added DISABLE_ANONYMOUS environment variable documentation
• Updated deployment guides with anonymous access control
• Clearer security configuration examples

🔄 Migration Notes

Tileset Settings

• Existing users will see OpenStreetMap (standard) as default
• Settings will persist across browser/device changes when logged in
• Anonymous users' tileset preferences stored in localStorage only

Node Filters

• Important: Filter defaults changed to "show all" (unchecked)
• Previous filter state will be reset on first load
• Users may need to reapply their preferred filters
