# Changelog

All notable changes to the community mesh network are documented here.

## [2.8.0] — 2026-07-24

### Added

- Self-service node health checks in the member portal, including signal quality, uptime, and gateway reachability.
- Support for 6 GHz point-to-point backhaul links on compatible hardware.
- Automated alerts for sustained packet loss and unusually high sector utilization.
- Spanish and French translations for installation and outage notifications.

### Fixed

- Intermittent DHCP lease failures after gateway failover.
- Incorrect bandwidth totals for members connected through multi-hop relay nodes.
- Stale node status indicators remaining online after prolonged power loss.
- Route flapping caused by duplicate mesh announcements on dual-radio nodes.

### Changed

- Increased the default lease time from 4 to 12 hours to reduce control-plane traffic.
- Updated fair-use shaping to prioritize voice, messaging, and DNS during congestion.
- Improved outage notices with affected neighborhoods and estimated restoration times.
- Retired legacy TLS configurations from the member portal and provisioning API.

## [2.7.2] — 2026-06-11

### Added

- Installation checklist for volunteer technicians in the operations dashboard.
- Exportable monthly usage reports for members who opt in to traffic accounting.
- Maintenance-mode banner for nodes undergoing planned antenna alignment.

### Fixed

- Captive portal redirect loops on newer Android devices.
- IPv6 prefix delegation failures affecting some member-owned routers.
- Missing monitoring data from nodes reconnecting after more than seven days offline.
- Incorrect timestamps in maintenance alerts sent across daylight-saving transitions.

### Changed

- Reduced monitoring probe frequency on solar-powered relay nodes.
- Adjusted channel-selection scoring to avoid nearby weather radar frequencies.
- Updated supported router firmware to OpenWrt 24.10.1.

## [2.7.0] — 2026-04-29

### Added

- Native IPv6 connectivity across all core gateways.
- Neighborhood-level service status page with planned maintenance schedules.
- Automatic configuration backups for managed rooftop and relay nodes.
- WireGuard-based access for volunteers performing remote diagnostics.
- Per-node power and battery telemetry for off-grid installations.

### Fixed

- DNS resolution delays when the primary upstream provider was unavailable.
- Traffic counters resetting after mesh daemon restarts.
- Uneven client distribution between radios on high-density access points.
- Provisioning failures when node names contained accented characters.
- Incorrect gateway selection when two upstream paths had equal routing cost.

### Changed

- Migrated mesh routing from OLSR to Babel for faster convergence and improved link selection.
- Standardized member-facing SSIDs across participating neighborhoods.
- Increased minimum encryption requirements for administrative access.
- Revised congestion policy to apply limits per household instead of per device.
- Removed support for end-of-life 802.11n-only relay hardware.
