Important
This release adds Public Key encryption to direct messages and enhanced session key based security to remote admin messages. It's recommended to back up your private keys.
Remote administration of 2.5 nodes will require client updates to all of the platforms.
Warning
There is a known-issue with LR111X based radios (Seeed Tracker / T1000-E) in communicating with older SX1276 based devices. The issue pre-dates this release.
