We've gone the last couple of weeks without a new alpha (sorry about that - was dealing with life things and MC, Sasha and the other devs also been busy ;-) ).
If you use the python tool you should "pip install --upgrade meshtastic" to get some important fixes there.
For the next few days I need to work on the pine64 board so I can send some patches upstream. This weekend I'll push out an android build with misc minor fixes.
Major changes in this new alpha:
- Fix a nasty problem where sometimes messages that need to be resent were not getting resent
- A plugin was sometimes stopping packet processing (also nasty)
- We were somtimes sending NO-RESPONSE NAKs for packets we should not
- Doc link fixes for the new repo the documentation devs have been making (thank @sachaw @apt105, Foster Irwin and @kylegordon and I hope I didn't miss anyone)
- Fixes for battery sensing on heltecs/tlora (please see other thread - I don't have these boards to test on currently)
- This is the first release with official binaries for the RAK4631 and TTGO T-Echo (eink) nrf52 boards!
- Improved support for the pine64 lora board (not yet ready for usage by others though)
- Use our new github continuous-integration based build system to generate this release (guarantees full repeatability for builds)
