Alpha 6 just dropped and it's a big one
What's new:
Linux
🔵 Bluetooth that just works — 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.
📌 Instant PIN pairing — The PIN dialog now appears right away when your radio needs it. No more guessing.
🔔 You'll know when you're connected — A green notification confirms the moment your radio connects successfully.
📡 Auto-scan on Connections page — Just open the page and it starts scanning. No extra taps needed.
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS
📋 Scan history redesign — New card layout that's easier to read, plus CSV export so you can save your data.
🗺️ Map improvements — 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.
🛠️ Lots of fixes — Sidebar overflow, Android auto-connect toggle, faster reconnection, friendlier error messages, and more.
Alpha 6 is all about trust — trusting that your radio will connect, trusting what the screen is telling you, and trusting that recovery happens fast when things go sideways.
