News & releases

What's changed, release by release — the member-facing highlights, not a full changelog. Two separate tracks: the hub (this network's shared portal/bridge, updated centrally, nothing for you to do) and node software (what runs on your own Raspberry Pi, also pushed automatically).

Hub & network

Pushed live by the operator — no action needed on your end.

v1.5 Latest September 6, 2026

Real login pages, guest directory, password reset

  • Admin and the allmon3 status page now use a proper login page instead of a browser popup.
  • The node directory is now viewable without logging in (a limited, no-names view) — log in for the full one.
  • Self-service password reset by email, plus a quick "register" link wherever you log in.
v1.4 September 5, 2026

Talk: push-to-talk from your browser

  • New — Talk: key up and listen straight from a phone or laptop browser, no radio hardware needed.
  • “Web access” added as its own option on the registration form — one login for Talk, the directory, and node status.
v1.3 September 4, 2026

Jarvis voice assistant & weather alerts

  • New — Jarvis: an AI voice assistant members can ask a question over the air and get a spoken answer back.
  • Severe weather alerts and scheduled conditions reports, opt-in per node by ZIP code.
  • General network hardening and stability work under the hood.
v1.2 August 6, 2026

Member web accounts

  • New self-service login for the node directory and hub status pages, with viewer/admin roles and admin approval for new accounts.
v1.1 July 28, 2026

Multiple hubs, moderation, and announcements

  • The network can now run more than one hub (conference bridge) at once, picked per node.
  • New AI-assisted moderation, with a spoken on-air warning.
  • New scheduled and on-demand hub-wide announcements.
v1.0 July 21, 2026

Network launch

  • Self-service registration with FCC callsign lookup.
  • Live member node directory and the first hub online.
  • App/IAX2 client registration path for DVSwitch Mobile, iaxRpt, etc. — no hardware needed.

Node software

What runs on your own Raspberry Pi — fixes and features are pushed to existing nodes automatically; a fresh image only matters when setting up a new one.

v1.7 Latest September 8, 2026

Current node image

  • New image bundles everything since the last one (August 29), including the weather alert accuracy fix, for anyone flashing a new Pi from today forward.
v1.6 September 4, 2026

Weather alert accuracy fix

  • Severe weather warnings now announce once per event instead of repeating on every poll cycle.
  • Current-conditions reports now mention an active warning while one's in effect.
v1.5 August 25, 2026

Directory pulled over the private tunnel

  • Nodes now fetch the member directory and status labels over their own private tunnel instead of a public URL.
v1.4 August 29, 2026

Current node image

  • Node nickname is now editable from the wizard and applies immediately.
  • Added a spoken, on-demand network-info announcement, triggered from the radio.
  • New weather alert poller, opt-in per node by ZIP code.
  • Faster, more reliable auto-reconnect to the hub on flaky mobile connections.
v1.3 August 6, 2026

  • WiFi/Ethernet network management and a member directory built into the wizard.
  • In-browser radio-programming terminal.
