- Refactor location permission handling in SparseLocationLogger
- Add updateMyLocation method to SparseLocationLogger
- Introduce new contact handling in MeshCoreConnector
- Update map screen with a new option to refresh location
- Add localization for "Update Location" in app_en.arb
- Adjust payload types in meshcore_protocol.dart
formats all dart files using `dart format .` from the root project dir
this makes the code style repeatable by new contributors and makes PR review easier
- Reduce reaction payload from ~44 bytes to 9 bytes (5x smaller)
- Use 4-char hex hash (timestamp + sender + first 5 chars) for message ID
- Use 2-char hex emoji index instead of multi-byte UTF-8 emoji
- Format: r:HASH:INDEX (e.g., r:a1b2:00)
- For 1:1 chats, sender is implicit (null) for shorter hash
- Prevent users from reacting to their own messages
- Add room server reaction support with sender identification
- Make emoji lists public in EmojiPicker for shared indexing
- Add 💪 and 🚀 emojis to picker
- Add comprehensive unit tests for reaction helpers
- Update minor dependencies
- Fix memory leak by adding dispose() to remove connection listener
- Fix typo: changedNavgation -> _changedNavigation
- Add mounted check before navigation to prevent errors
- Remove overly aggressive _handleDisconnection() call on battery request failure
- Only reset battery flag on error to allow retry without disconnecting
- Implemented ChatScrollController to manage scroll behavior and visibility of jump-to-bottom button.
- Added functionality to automatically scroll to the bottom when the keyboard opens.
- Created JumpToBottomButton widget that appears when the user scrolls up, allowing quick navigation back to the bottom of the chat.
- Implement Community model for managing community data, including secret handling and PSK derivation.
- Create CommunityQrScannerScreen for scanning and joining communities via QR codes.
- Develop CommunityStore for persisting community data using SharedPreferences.
- Introduce QrCodeDisplay widget for displaying QR codes with customizable options.
- Add QrScannerWidget for reusable QR code scanning functionality with validation and controls.
- Move BufferReader/BufferWriter into meshcore_protocol.dart
- Refactor build functions to use BufferWriter
- Add content-based validation for CLI responses over LoRa
- Add individual refresh buttons for TX power and feature toggles
- Hide unimplemented features (Privacy Mode, Encrypted Advert Interval)
New features:
- In-app debug log viewer with copy/clear functionality
- Advanced path management UI with history and custom path builder
- Battery indicator widget with voltage/percentage toggle
- Contact/channel filtering and sorting improvements
- Repeater command ACK tracking with path history integration
Fixes:
- Switch channel sync from parallel to sequential to prevent timeouts
- Preserve path overrides when contacts refresh from device
- Fix ACK hash computation for SMAZ-encoded messages
- Proper cleanup of pending operations on disconnect
Core Features
Unread Message Tracking: Added persistent unread counts for contacts and channels with visual badges
Message Deletion: Users can now long-press to delete individual messages in chats and channels
SMAZ Compression: Added per-contact compression settings (previously only channels)
UTF-8 Length Limiting: Text inputs now enforce protocol byte limits correctly
Channel Message Paths: New screen to visualize packet routing through repeater network with map view
Protocol Updates
Added maxContactMessageBytes() and maxChannelMessageBytes() helpers for message length validation
Changed channel PSK format from Base64 to Hexadecimal (breaking change)
Added app version field to connection handshake frame
UI Improvements
Unread badges on all contact and channel list items
Enhanced message bubbles with path visualization for channel messages
Character count displays in message input fields
Improved repeater CLI screen functionality
