Enhanced the firmware versioning system by appending a build number
suffix when available, allowing for better tracking of published builds.
This change improves the OTA update process by providing clearer
versioning information in the embedded firmware string.
Added support for deferred OTA updates in the MyMesh class, allowing
the system to schedule firmware updates to occur after a confirmation
reply is sent. This change improves the user experience by ensuring
that the update process does not block the main application loop,
allowing for smoother operation during firmware updates.
Updated the startOTAUpdate method to serve the ElegantOTA on the
station IP when connected to a WiFi network, enhancing accessibility
for OTA updates. If not connected, it defaults to the MeshCore-OTA
SoftAP. This change improves the user experience by allowing easier
access to OTA updates without needing to switch networks.
Updated the otaFromManifest method to stream-parse the firmware manifest
directly from the network, reducing peak RAM usage during OTA checks. This
change enhances compatibility with slow TLS links by implementing a per-read
timeout, ensuring a more efficient and reliable update process.
Updated the otaFromManifest method to enforce HTTP/1.0 for better
compatibility with CDNs and to handle empty manifest responses. This
ensures that the JSON parser receives a complete body, preventing
errors during firmware update checks.
Added functionality to support pull-based OTA updates by fetching firmware
from a manifest. The new `otaFromManifest` method allows the system to
check for available updates and flash the firmware if necessary. This
enhancement improves the update process for observer builds using the
MQTT bridge, ensuring a more seamless firmware management experience.
Updated the build-observer-firmwares.yml to improve the asset pruning
logic during the release process. The workflow now retains the most
recent build hashes to prevent 404 errors for assets that may still
be requested during build cycles. This change ensures a smoother
release experience by maintaining necessary assets while cleaning
up older ones.
Updated the MQTTMessageBuilder to include microsecond precision in the
timestamp formatting. The formatIsoTimestampForMqtt function now accepts
a microsecond parameter, allowing for more accurate time representation.
Modified related functions in MQTTBridge to utilize the new timestamp
formatting, ensuring consistency across MQTT messages.
Updated the build-observer-firmwares.yml to improve the handling of rolling releases. The workflow now creates a release only if it doesn't already exist, preventing tag conflicts. Additionally, it uploads build artifacts while replacing existing assets and prunes older assets to maintain a clean release. This change enhances the reliability and efficiency of the release process.
Introduced a radio watchdog that detects when the LoRa radio is stuck in RX mode without activity. The firmware can now idle and restart the radio after a configured silence interval, helping MQTT observers recover from missed interrupts. Added CLI commands to get and set the watchdog interval, with a default of 5 minutes. Updated documentation to include usage examples and configuration notes.
