# beta_7 — what's new (one user-facing note per non-blank, non-# line)

# --- Community-built ---
Most of beta_7 was contributed by the community — Dan Vybiral (Vybo) and Ruben Laban. Thank you both!

# --- Chat reliability ---
Fixed garbled and duplicated messages — chat text is no longer corrupted in transit, so messages arrive intact and duplicates are filtered out correctly (thanks to marcelverdult for the report, issue #13)
Unread badges are accurate again: the phantom and stuck unread counts on chats and channels are fixed (Ruben Laban, PR #15)
More of your chat history is kept and reloaded across reboots, and it is saved more reliably than before (Ruben Laban, PR #15)

# --- New: Snake game ---
A Snake game is now in the app drawer — steer by swiping the screen or with the T-Deck trackball, with pause/resume and restart after a game over (Vybo, PR #12)
While you play, touch stays inside the game and no longer leaks through to the screen behind it

# --- Battery & telemetry ---
Tap the battery in the status bar for a 24-hour history chart with an estimated time-left readout; battery level is logged every 5 minutes (Vybo, PR #12)
New per-node telemetry window: poll a node's battery, temperature and humidity, watch them on a live chart, and keep a per-node log (Vybo, PR #12)

# --- Map ---
New map night mode — the status bar and tab bar invert to match the dark map instead of glaring (Vybo, PR #12)
A live zoom-level readout sits above the zoom slider, and the zoom button now shows a proper magnifier icon (Vybo, PR #12)
Contacts have a new "Show on map" action that centres the map on that node (Vybo, PR #12)

# --- Status bar & tools ---
A microSD activity LED lights whenever the card is accessed, including file-manager reads and copies (Vybo, PR #12)
An activity spinner shows while a telemetry, admin, ping, trace, range or sightline request is in flight, kept clear of the clock (Vybo, PR #12)
New option to hide the device name and move the clock to the left (Vybo, PR #12)
Press and hold the status bar to save a full-screen screenshot to the SD card (Vybo, PR #12)

# --- Files & images ---
The file browser can preview PNG and BMP images now, not just JPEG, and no longer shows a stale image when you open several in a row (Vybo, PR #12)
Lock-screen wallpaper: open Files, view any JPEG on your SD card, and tap "Set as wallpaper" — no more slow scan or "no image found"

# --- App drawer ---
The app drawer fits all the apps again — the bottom row's labels are no longer cut off
A scrollbar clearly shows when there are more apps than fit, so it is obvious the page scrolls

# --- Bluetooth ---
You can set your own Bluetooth pairing code in Settings now, instead of being stuck with the default

# --- Storage & stability ---
Fixed map tiles failing to cache (with a false "storage full"), and black or missing tiles now re-download instead of staying blank
Replying to a message with @ no longer overwrites text you were already typing
Fixed an out-of-memory crash and made notification audio more reliable

# --- Community ---
Huge thanks to Dan Vybiral (Vybo) — most of beta_7 is his work: the Snake game, battery history, per-node telemetry, map night mode, PNG/BMP image viewer and the whole status-bar toolkit (PR #12)
Thanks to Ruben Laban for the accurate unread-badge and chat-history-persistence fixes (PR #15)
