I've updated Beleth and Kaizen to 0.9.0 for testing. Things seem to be running OK so far... 😄 I did lose the RNode noise floor reading from 0.8.9 though? It used to be -104, but shows None now. Using a RAK4631, if that makes a difference. |

Hello everyone!
I just uploaded a pre-release of RNS 0.9.0 here: https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum/releases/download/0.8.9/rns-0.9.0-py3-none-any.whl
If you are willing and able, I'd very much appreciate help in testing this out! Especially for anyone running transport nodes on the testnet.
This build enables support for the upcoming link path MTU discovery, and quite some performance improvements.
When link MTU discovery is enabled for new links by default, all transporting nodes will need to have been updated to 0.9.0, but I'd love to have this tested a bit more widely before releasing it.
Please note! Version 0.9.0 will simply enable support for the extra signalling required for link MTU discovery to work. It is still compatible with all previous versions. If clients use link MTU upgrading on 0.9.0, it will work, and the link will be upgraded to whatever the path supports. If clients don't try to use the new link MTU discovery, the link will simply stay at the old, hardcoded MTU.
And don't worry, this new functionality only requires a total of 6 more bytes exchanged during the link establishment process :) So while it makes links over fast mediums significantly faster, it will not negatively affect low-bandwidth mediums.
