emOS v0.11-ea.2 (Early Access)

DNS from your router, hidden networks, and a smoother boot ring. Pair with controller 2.27.0-ea.3 and firmware v2.19.0-ea.3. Early Access: only dev and EA controllers offer it; GA controllers do not see it.

The emOS update rewrites the Echo's boot partition. It checks the image before and after writing, and rolls back after three boots that never reach the controller; an Echo that fails before that point needs TWRP and a USB cable to recover.

Improved

• DNS comes from your router's DHCP lease, with the gateway used only when the lease names no server, and it follows a WiFi change without a reboot (#1066).
• The boot ring is smooth: a segment the moving head leaves fades into the trail without dipping to dark.
• Device nodes are made from sysfs, not from fixed numbers.

Fixed

• A fresh 64-bit emOS install never stored its DHCP lease, so the lease's DNS was lost (#1066).
• em-wifi can join a hidden network (h at the prompt), and every network is now probed by name (#1068).
• A WiFi change could be refused for minutes after the supplicant stopped without releasing the old link (#1013).
