- Updated mesh graph path splitting and aggregation to run in SQLite, improving performance by avoiding Python materialization.
- Defaulted graph persistence to batched writes for new installations, reducing WAL churn and SD-card writes.
- Enhanced data retention to execute shortly after startup, independent of the nightly maintenance schedule.
- Added a table-specific index for `mesh_connections` to support window and retention queries, ensuring efficient data access.
- Added a tracked `LICENSE` file and updated `pyproject.toml` to include license metadata.
- Enhanced `CHANGELOG.md` with recent changes and clarifications.
- Updated `config.ini.example` and related documentation to reflect clamping behavior for numeric limits in `[Feed_Manager]`.
- Improved startup validation to suggest corrections for unknown and misspelled keys.
- Refactored geocoding and HTTP request handling to run off-thread, preventing event loop stalls.
- Added thread safety to cache management in geocoding functions to avoid race conditions.
Reworked implementation of the multilingual-response feature (issue #218)
as a reusable, framework-level capability instead of logic bolted onto
HelloCommand.
- modules/lang_detector.py: keyword-first detection (reliable for the short
greetings typical on mesh) with optional langdetect for longer text;
results are constrained to languages that actually have a translation file.
- core.py: cache Translator instances by language (get_translator) so
per-message switching never re-reads files, and expose available_languages()
derived from translations/*.json. Store translation_path; keep cache/path
consistent on config reload.
- base_command.py: task-local translator override via a ContextVar (safe under
asyncio concurrency, no global mutation), plus detect_response_language() and
a respond_in_sender_language() context manager any command can opt into.
- hello_command.py: build the reply inside respond_in_sender_language(); the
only awaited call (send_response) stays outside the override window.
- Gated by [Localization] auto_detect_language (default false); langdetect is
an optional [lang] extra, not a hard dependency.
Tests: unit coverage for the detector and the base-command wiring.
Eight keys that plugins read and the web settings UI writes were missing
from config.ini.example, so config validation flagged them as unknown:
Path_Command confidence symbols, Alert_Command max_distance_km /
max_incident_age_hours, Wx_Command temperature_unit / wind_speed_unit,
and PacketCapture mqtt_enabled.
Adds a sync test so any future settings_schema key must be documented in
the example config (and thus known to validation) or CI fails.
- Updated `config.ini.example`, `config.ini.minimal-example`, and `config.ini.quickstart` to clarify connection type precedence and required keys for serial, BLE, and TCP connections.
- Added detailed comments and examples for each connection type, ensuring users understand how to configure their connection settings effectively.
- Introduced a new `[Service_Overrides]` section in `config.ini.example` for alternative service plugin implementations, improving extensibility.
- Enhanced documentation in `configuration.md` to reflect these changes and provide clearer guidance on connection options and templates.
