1.2.50 alpha

Sorry I've been away but @andrekir and @srichs have been doing good things. I'm releasing this now as an alpha APK on github. But once someone posts on the forum that it works for them, I'll also release it via the Amazon appstore (for the time being we are using the Amazon appstore rather than the google store for distribution):

• @andrekir fixed messages layout to be prettier, made sending work without having to press enter and misc other UI cleanups
• @srichs fixed drawing errors in the channel names field

1.2.45 beta

A minor release just to pull in the latest firmware.

• @andrekir fixed pt-BR translations

1.2.43 beta

This is the first android release in a while... If you are not an alpha-tester you probably want the previous release for now.

• Includes 1.2.43 device firmware (for ESP-32 targets)
• @rkuksa fixed a Russian translation typo
• @sirgeoff added Hungarian translations!
• @andrek added Brazillian Portugese translations!
• @Mango-Sauce Updated the Chinese translations!
• Fix a minor bug: don't show the update firmware dialog if we are already in the middle of an update

1.2.40 alpha

This is the first android alpha release in a long time (a month?). The location permissions are now much cleaned up (so that they can meet the new more strict Google policies). But since we are currently delisted on Google Play you'll need to install the APK manually.

Dear alpha testers, to help exercise possible problems please completely uninstall your existing meshtastic before installing this version (so that permissions get reset). There were a lot of changes that needed to happen for this, so it is possible I broke something. Please post in the forum thread with what you find.

Specific changes

• @FIdo contributed Polish translations. Thanks!
• We now target android SDK 30 (the latest released), but work all the way back to SDK 21 still (android 5.1?)
• We now are more clear about "location" access is what we need
• We check every time the app has started
• We only ask for "background" location permissions if you click the new settings checkbox for "provide location to mesh". If that checkbox is off we won't "help out" radios that don't have their own GPS by providing the phone position (because we can't access location from our background service in that case)
• Fix a couple of rare crashes reported via analytics

1.2.31 beta

1.2.31

1.2.30 alpha

This is a minor update to include two features:

• The latest device alpha 1.2.30 which seems to be working quite nicely
• Fix color themes so both the dark and light theme look much nicer and use @thepoweroftwo recommended color guidelines
