Full changelog
What's Changed
Security
- Enforce channel-based permission checks on telemetry and position endpoints — Anonymous and limited users can no longer fetch telemetry or position data for nodes on channels they don't have
viewOnMappermission for. Closes AUTHZ-VULN-02 from the Shannon pentest. (#2038) - Regenerate session after authentication to prevent session fixation (#2034)
Features
- Exchange Position with selectable channel — Users can now choose which channel to send position exchange requests on. (#2026, closes #2021)
- Light/dark overlay color schemes for map elements — Map overlays now respect the current theme. (#2028, closes #2020)
- Add Watch and Reboot + Home Assistant Bridge to user scripts gallery — Two new community scripts from @maxhayim. (#2039, closes #2035, #2036)
Bug Fixes
- AutoAnnounce channel selection ignores disabled channels (#2025, closes #2024)
- Duplicate outgoing messages in chat (#2029, closes #2027)
- Deploy upgrade watchdog to legacy path for backward compat (#2030, closes #1888)
- Reduce node load to prevent firmware heap exhaustion (#2031, closes #2013)
- Poll interval now respects WebSocket connection state internally (#2032)
- Position precision accuracy was 2x off from Meshtastic documentation — The accuracy estimate displayed for precision bits (both in the info panel and on the map rectangle) was double the correct value. Now matches Meshtastic docs exactly. (#2040, closes #2037)
- Fix CSRF token invalidation in system tests — After the session fixation fix, system tests needed to re-fetch the CSRF token post-login. (#2042)
