Alpha 6 just dropped and it's a big one

What's new:

Linux

πŸ”΅ Bluetooth that just works β€” Rewrote the connection flow so your radio connects faster, recovers from drops reliably, and tells you immediately if something's wrong instead of making you wait.

πŸ“Œ Instant PIN pairing β€” The PIN dialog now appears right away when your radio needs it. No more guessing.

πŸ”” You'll know when you're connected β€” A green notification confirms the moment your radio connects successfully.

πŸ“‘ Auto-scan on Connections page β€” Just open the page and it starts scanning. No extra taps needed.

OTHER IMPROVEMENTS

πŸ“‹ Scan history redesign β€” New card layout that's easier to read, plus CSV export so you can save your data.

πŸ—ΊοΈ Map improvements β€” Node filtering respects your distance radius now. Stats bar cards let you jump straight to Nodes or History with a tap. Dead zones display correctly.

πŸ› οΈ Lots of fixes β€” Sidebar overflow, Android auto-connect toggle, faster reconnection, friendlier error messages, and more.

Alpha 6 is all about trust β€” trusting that your radio will connect, trusting what the screen is telling you, and trusting that recovery happens fast when things go sideways.
