Important
This release offers a preview of the upcoming 2.5 changes to add Public Key encryption to direct messages and enhanced session key based security to remote admin messages.
Messages should deliver on other platforms without any indication that they are now encrypted. Remote administration under the new scheme will require client updates to all of the platforms.
Warning
We recommend holding off on installation of this version for any LR111X based radios (Seeed Tracker / T1000-E) as there are some outstanding issues in communicating with older SX1276 based devices
