MeshMonitor v4.14.2-rc3

⚠️ Pre-release. This is a release candidate for testing. It is not tagged :latest and is not recommended for unattended production use.

Nine changes since rc2, dominated by a mobile-freeze fix and two new terrain/RF surfaces. Opening a node with a large estimated-position history could lock the UI for about a minute on mobile — that is fixed, and the fix bounds both halves of the cause rather than the one that was reported. Predictive RF coverage arrives as a Fresnel + path-loss model with a radial terrain sweep and a map layer, deliberately drawn to look unlike measured coverage so a prediction is never mistaken for a measurement; note its control surface is not wired up yet, so the layer is present but not reachable from the UI in this build. A passive network survey now reports what a radio can actually hear — direct neighbours, signal, and reach by hop count — generating no radio traffic to do it. MeshBeacon offers (firmware 2.8+) become actionable invitation cards, with an explicit confirmation before any channel is written to a radio. Two protocol-level bugs are fixed: MeshCore's implicit Public channel was being displaced when adding a channel, and MeshBeacon module config failed to load with "Unknown config type". Traditional Chinese joins the language selector — it was already the most complete translation in the repository and simply had never been offered.

Features

• Predictive RF coverage — Fresnel + path-loss model, radial terrain sweep, API and map layer (#4741, refs #4727)
• Passive network survey — reach, direct neighbours and hop distribution (#4737, closes #4726)
• Actionable MeshBeacon invitation card — add / dismiss, with confirmation before any device write (#4735, closes #4723)
• Waypoint-anchored geofences for enter/exit alerts (#4732, closes #4722)
• Incomplete-NodeInfo badge on nodes missing name or hardware info (#4730, closes #4720)
• Traditional Chinese in the language selector (#4742)

Bug Fixes

• Map froze for ~1 minute when opening a node with a large estimated-position history (#4744, closes #4743)
• MeshBeacon config load failed with "Unknown config type: meshbeacon" (#4740, closes #4739)
• MeshCore Public channel displaced when adding a new channel (#4734, closes #4733)
• Automation Runs log now shows the captured triggering message (#4716, closes #4711)

Issues Resolved

#4743, #4739, #4733, #4726, #4723, #4722, #4720, #4711

New Contributors

• @rncchen made their first contribution in #4742 — Traditional Chinese language support

Notes

• Predictive RF coverage has no UI entry point in this build. The model, sweep, API and map layer are complete and tested; the site-planner control panel that drives them is still to come, so #4727 stays open.
• Coverage predictions are modelled from terrain only — they account for free-space loss, earth curvature and diffraction, but not buildings, foliage or multipath. Treat them as planning aids, not measurements.
• Very dense position histories are now drawn simplified; the trail's reported time span remains exact.
