Meshtastic Firmware 2.4.0.46d7b82 Beta

Important

Version 2.4 along with the last 2.3.X update brings some default traffic management practices to increase the resilience of larger meshes and allow more airtime for messaging. Some of the important changes which help accomplish this:

• Deprecation of ROUTER_CLIENT role (2.3.15)
• Move up all telemetry default intervals to every 30 minutes (instead of 15 minutes)
• Don't send node info interrogation for unknown nodes when Ch. utilization is >25%
• Scale configured / default intervals back based on online mesh size > 40 nodes
• Requesting history from a Store & Forward Server over LoRa is not available on the channel with default key. As a new feature, when connecting to it with a client app, the history will be retrieved automatically.

Full Changelog: v2.3.15.deb7c27...v2.4.0.46d7b82

Meshtastic Firmware 2.3.15.deb7c27 Beta

Important

Regarding deprecation of ROUTER_CLIENT role:
This role was deprecated because it's frequent misuse in non-strategically placed roles, leading to increased rebroadcast packet collisions as well as premature hop consumption decreasing the effective range of a mesh. In some larger public meshes, it has been reported that almost half of the nodes were configured as ROUTER_CLIENT and ROUTER. Going forward, the mixed ROUTER_CLIENT role will be retired and simply behave as the CLIENT role.

Alternatively, users can decide to use the ROUTER role if their node does indeed fall into the strategically placed criteria, such as on top of a mountain, skyscraper, or any other location with a significant line of sight viewshed advantage. Examples of non-strategically placed nodes would be any mobile node, a car node, a home node on a mast, or really any node without significant elevation difference providing advantage to the mesh's reach. Nodes under those placement conditions should not be configured as ROUTER or REPEATER role.
