This build is based on official MeshCore 1.15.0 dev branch (as of 25-May-2026 and additionally includes the following unmerged upstream PRs/changes:
- PR2553: Limit flood advert packet forwarding -->
set flood.advert.base 0...1(0: no flood adv. forwarding, 0.308: default, 1: all flood adv. forwarding) - PR1810: Allow direct message paths when denyf * is set
- :new: PR1727: Use hardware channel activity detection for checking interference --> Use
set int.thresh 1to activate hw based channel activity detection. - :new: PR2377: Disable NRF52 undervoltage bootlock feature
- Flood adverts are disabled (flood.advert.interval set to 0) by default
- :new: modified PR1810 to not block flood adverts but only
PAYLOADTYPEGRPTXTandPAYLOADTYPEGRPDATAso that some limited flood advert distribution can be managed via PR2553 to support e.g. observer maps.
