Important Note

This will be the last release of the Python RNS backed version of Columba. The next stable release will be v1.0, which will replace all python with kotlin code. This will also be a new "app" on your Android devices, appearing alongside the v0.x version of Columba. You can read more about this here: #800

What's new in v0.10:

• Nomadnet browser. Accessed by filtering the Contacts->Network view for Nodes, and tapping one to browse. Supports three different reading modes, depending on whether you want preserved ASCII art, or an optimized reading experience
• Create a wifi hotspot and share the Columba APK with others locally, peer to peer
• Block incoming messages from peers. Optionally blackhole them too when transport is enabled.
• Add an Offline banner when the Reticulum service is offline
• New map pin clustering when pins are too close together to be rendered without overlapping, feat @MatthieuTexier
• New button in chat view when the other person is sharing their location with you, to let you view their location on the map, feat @MatthieuTexier
• Background permission flow, feat @MatthieuTexier
• RNode flasher expanded to allow CE and custom rnode firmware sources
• Get a notification when RNode device is disconnected
• Show outbound interface in message details
• Add IFAC params to RNode interfaces
• Automatically add IFAC params to discovered interfaces when copying config, feat @taprootmx
• Add map pins for discovered interfaces if they include their coordinates
• Bumped RNS to 1.1.9
• Lots of bugfixes
