Who's Online : 4Meshtastic has published a new pre-release: v2.7.24.472b14c. This one looks worth tracking for Oklahoma operators because it lands a decent batch of radio, display, Wi-Fi, and device support fixes while we still haven’t seen a new stable in months.
Release name: Meshtastic Firmware 2.7.24.472b14c Alpha
Published: 2026-05-23T01:12:32Z
Type: Pre-release / alpha
What stands out
- New hardware and variant support, including ThinkNode M7, T-Echo-Card, and initial Station G3 support.
- Privacy and routing-adjacent fixes, including position precision handling and direct position packet clamping.
- Reliability improvements for Wi-Fi services, display geometry, heartbeat LED behavior, and battery/power logging.
- For Oklahoma mesh operators: anything that improves node stability, location privacy, and Wi-Fi/HTTP behavior is worth paying attention to on fixed nodes and test boxes.

Operator note: This is still marked as a pre-release, so don’t blindly flash production backbone nodes just because GitHub got excited. Test on a spare node first, especially if you’re depending on stable routing across the Oklahoma mesh.
