- Performance improvements across the app for a faster, smoother experience. - Reduced UI lag, improved responsiveness, and better stability during everyday use.

Automations Automations now support structured condition trees with IF / THEN / ELSE logic. Build complex rules that branch based on multiple conditions - battery level, node status, time of day, and more. Each run shows exactly which branch was taken and why, with a detailed execution history you can inspect anytime. Grouped Reactions Message reactions are now grouped by emoji - if five people send a thumbs-up, you see one compact chip instead of five. Long-press any reaction to see every sender. Reactions also wrap to the next line instead of overflowing off-screen, keeping the conversation tidy.

NodeDex: Node encounter records now capture and display radio frequency offset (Hz), providing visibility into crystal oscillator drift Widgets: Improvements and fixes to Distribution Widget creation Includes additional bug fixes and performance enhancements

This release focuses on polish, accuracy, and everyday reliability across the parts of Socialmesh that are live today. - Messaging is smoother, with conversation search, better scroll restoration when returning to chats, improved position retention after sending while reading older messages, and stronger message validation before send. - Remote device administration is more accurate. When configuring another node, Device Config now shows that remote node’s details instead of the locally connected radio’s identity. - Reactions and chat behavior were cleaned up to reduce edge-case inconsistencies and make long conversations feel more stable. - Bug reporting is faster and easier to follow, with more efficient loading for report responses and related screens. - Profile editing is more reliable, including safer profile image resizing and stronger display name validation. - UI polish improved across the app: action buttons wrap more cleanly on smaller screens, large accessibility text is handled better, and several layouts are less prone to clipping or overflow. - Node and presence data are more trustworthy thanks to improved timestamp validation and refinements to how node relationships are tracked and displayed. Under the hood, this update also includes a broad round of stability work, safer error handling, and expanded regression coverage for messaging, device settings, notifications, and validation.

Messaging reliability improvements - Fixed an issue where messages could be delivered via the internet (MQTT) instead of radio, causing incorrect hop counts and inconsistent behaviour - Restored proper radio (LoRa) delivery so messages now follow the mesh as expected - Improved reliability when MQTT is disabled - General improvements to message delivery consistency and acknowledgements Time Format Setting Choose how times are displayed throughout the app. Head to Settings → Appearance & Accessibility and pick System Default, 12-hour (AM/PM), or 24-hour - your choice applies everywhere: messages, nodes, telemetry, traceroutes, NodeDex, and more. Traceroute Map Accuracy When viewing a traceroute on the map, the path now shows where nodes actually were at the time of the traceroute - not their current positions. If nodes have moved since, the map still reflects the real route that was traced. Origin, destination, and all intermediate hops are snapshotted the moment the traceroute completes. Notifications - Notification settings unified into a single location (Settings → Notifications) — the three background-specific notification toggles (DMs, channels, node discovery) that previously lived on the Background Connection screen have been consolidated into the existing global toggles - Background Connection screen now focuses solely on BLE connection, Live Activity, notification style, and battery settings - Background message processor uses the same notification preferences as the foreground path — no separate background-only gates

Wi-Fi Radio Discovery Socialmesh now automatically discovers Meshtastic devices on your local Wi-Fi network. If your radio has WiFi enabled, it appears instantly in the Connect screen - no manual IP entry required. • Auto-discovery via mDNS/Bonjour finds Meshtastic radios on your LAN • Discovered devices show their name with a TCP badge • Tap to connect - same seamless flow as Bluetooth • Saved Endpoints let you store host:port entries for remote access (e.g. dynamic DNS to a home gateway) • Manage saved endpoints from Settings > Connection > Network Endpoints

MQTT Client Proxy - Connect to Any MQTT Broker via Your Phone Your Meshtastic device no longer needs WiFi to reach an MQTT broker. Socialmesh now acts as a full MQTT client proxy - your device talks to the app over BLE, and the app connects to the broker over your phone's internet connection. This is the same proxy mechanism supported by the official Meshtastic apps, now fully implemented in Socialmesh. • Connects to any MQTT broker (mqtt.meshtastic.org, private servers, self-hosted) • Full TLS encryption and username/password authentication • Bidirectional message relay: device → broker and broker → device • Auto-reconnect with configurable keep-alive • Works with all your channels - uplink and downlink enabled channels relay through the proxy To set up: Device Settings → MQTT → enable "Proxy to Client", configure your broker, and save. The app handles the rest automatically. In-App MQTT & Diagnostic Logging All MQTT proxy events now appear in the in-app log viewer (Settings → Tools → App Log). Filter by "mqtt_proxy" to see connection lifecycle, message relay, errors, and warnings - all with timestamps and severity levels. No passwords or credentials are ever logged. This makes troubleshooting MQTT issues straightforward: just share a screenshot of the log and we can pinpoint the problem. RF vs MQTT Transport Indicators Messages now show how they arrived - via radio (RF) or via MQTT. Look for the cloud icon (MQTT) or cell tower icon (RF) on message context menus, and the transport chip on node info cards with hop count display. Node-to-Node Measurement Mode Tap two node markers on the map to measure between them. The measurement card shows distance, bearing (degrees + cardinal direction), altitude per endpoint, elevation delta with trend icon, and line-of-sight analysis using earth curvature modeling with Fresnel zone clearance at 906 MHz. Long-press the card for additional actions: LOS analysis, RF link budget (FSPL), share, copy coordinates, open midpoint in Maps, or swap endpoints. Appearance & Accessibility New settings screen with live preview: • Font modes: Branded (JetBrains Mono), System, or Accessibility (Inter) • Text size presets: System Default, Default, Large (+15%), Extra Large (+30%) • Display density: Compact, Comfortable, Large Touch • High contrast mode and reduce motion option • Safe text scaling with layout-aware caps Message Persistence Overhaul Chat messages are now stored in SQLite instead of SharedPreferences. Messages survive app restarts reliably, with 500 messages retained per conversation (up from 100 globally). Full field serialization including status, packet ID, routing errors, and error messages. Traceroute Help New guided tour (8 steps) covering how to send traceroutes, understand cooldowns, read results, browse history, and export data. Access from the help menu on the Traceroute History screen. Bug Fixes • Chat messages no longer disappear across app restarts • Channel message deduplication fixed for push notification edge cases • Compass widget now updates smoothly during tap-to-north animation • Measurement mode text no longer clips on smaller screens

NodeDex - Your Mesh Field Journal Every node you discover on the mesh is now automatically recorded in the NodeDex, a living field journal of the radio world around you. Each node receives a unique procedural Sigil - a geometric glyph generated from its identity, so no two nodes ever look alike. Nodes also earn a personality Trait derived from real behavior: Wanderers roam, Sentinels hold position, Beacons never sleep, Ghosts appear and vanish, and Relays keep the mesh alive. Explore the Constellation view to see your mesh as a living star map - nodes as points of light, connections as arcs between them. Tap any node to open its full profile with signal history, discovery timeline, and social tags. Find NodeDex in the drawer menu under Social.
