Mesh Utility — Alpha-5 is Live

Mesh Utility — Alpha-5 is Live

Mar 12, 2026

Alpha-5 is now available and focuses on making real-world mapping sessions clearer, smoother, and more reliable.

This release improves how the app communicates what it’s doing during active scans, making discovery feedback easier to understand while the scan is running. Scan timing, start/pause behavior, and countdown handling have also been refined so users can trust what the app is doing during longer scan sessions.

Reconnect behavior and BLE discovery have also been improved, helping the app recover more reliably when working with previously connected devices or more difficult discovery scenarios.

Alongside these improvements, the map interface received several usability updates to make controls easier to use and to better align node selection, filtering behavior, and on-screen feedback while scanning.

Highlights

• Clearer scan status and live discovery feedback
• More consistent start / pause / force scan behavior
• Improved smart-scan timing and scan cycle handling
• Better BLE reconnect and fallback discovery behavior
• Improved map controls and status presentation
• UI polish, layout fixes, and stability improvements
