Serval Mesh Version 0.92
Source code
Changes since 0.91
-
Does not attempt to use Ad Hoc Wi-Fi or install Wi-Fi drivers unless the “Ad Hoc” network is selected on the “Connect” screen, so risk of inadvertently bricking devices is reduced
Better mesh routing uses unicast packets when broadcast packets don't work, so phones respond even when the screen is off
New
MeshMS protocol with end-to-end encryption and delivery confirmation (
Note: incompatible with earlier releases)
Improved “Peer List” screen is more responsive and no longer freezes under network load
New
Rhizome sync protocol is more efficent and backwards compatible (
Note: bundles will not propagate from this to earlier releases)
Rhizome no longer consumes all available storage, but leaves 100
MiB free at all times
Heavy
Rhizome sync activity has less impact on voice call latency, but can still degrade voice calls
Multi-hop voice calls are now possible, but still suffer from some issues
New built-in Dialler screen for devices that do not have a Dialler (eg, tablets)
Various user interface and stability improvements
