Update - rc.26 released as new default firmware for Mesh devices

v080-rc.26 is now live in all Particle development tools as the default compile target for 3rd Gen devices. The high level fixes include:

  • Improved reliability of OpenThread mesh networking
  • Improved wireless transmission range between 3rd Gen devices over mesh
  • Improved Bluetooth compatibility with Android devices (requires firmware update to device)
  • Improved compatibility with networks with IPv6 enabled

Detailed release notes for rc.26 is available at Github, below:

IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT: Argon NCP firmware needs to be updated to v0.0.5 after updating to 0.8.0-rc.26 from any release under 0.8.0-rc.25. The release binaries can be found here
