# Changelog

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

## [2.8.0] - 2026-07-15

### Added

- Automatic rerouting around offline rooftop relays and congested wireless links.
- Self-service portal for viewing usage, signal quality, planned maintenance, and current outages.
- Support for IPv6 prefix delegation on compatible member routers.
- Coverage-map overlays showing proposed relay sites without exposing precise member addresses.
- Optional outage notifications by email and SMS.

### Fixed

- Intermittent DHCP lease failures after gateway maintenance.
- Incorrect packet-loss readings for nodes connected through multiple relays.
- Captive portal loops affecting some Android devices.
- Billing credits occasionally missing from accounts during multi-day outages.
- Stale node status indicators in the network operations dashboard.

### Changed

- Increased routing-metric penalties for unstable links to reduce route flapping.
- Reduced telemetry retention from 90 to 30 days for member privacy.
- Updated fair-use thresholds to account for higher evening traffic.
- Improved maintenance notices with affected neighborhoods and estimated restoration times.

## [2.7.2] - 2026-06-21

### Added

- Health checks for DNS resolvers and upstream transit connections.
- Installer notes for documenting antenna alignment and line-of-sight obstructions.
- Warning banners when a relay is operating on backup power.

### Fixed

- High latency caused by traffic-shaping rules being applied twice.
- PPPoE reconnection failures following brief upstream outages.
- Missing monitoring data from older OpenWrt-based member routers.
- Incorrect timezone formatting in maintenance notifications.
- Firmware upgrades stalling on nodes with limited available storage.

### Changed

- Adjusted channel selection to avoid newly detected neighborhood interference.
- Extended router upgrade retries from two to five attempts.
- Clarified support guidance for member-owned equipment.

## [2.7.0] - 2026-05-30

### Added

- Neighborhood gateway failover for supported mesh zones.
- Per-node bandwidth graphs for volunteer network operators.
- Scheduled firmware rollouts with automatic pause on elevated failure rates.
- Configuration backups before remote router upgrades.
- Spanish and French translations for the member onboarding flow.

### Fixed

- Routes persisting after a node had been offline for more than ten minutes.
- DNS queries leaking to ISP-provided resolvers when encrypted DNS was enabled.
- Incorrect signal-strength values reported by dual-band relay nodes.
- Duplicate invoices generated after failed payment retries.
- Accessibility issues in the coverage-request form.

### Changed

- Migrated backbone links to the latest stable mesh-routing protocol release.
- Lowered default transmit power where required to reduce interference.
- Reworked onboarding diagnostics to distinguish weak signal from upstream failure.
- Updated the privacy policy to describe aggregate network-performance reporting.
