This one is another pretty massive update, courtesy of Zenith, who has been on an absolute tear. The node and interface administration side of nomadnet has gotten a thorough overhaul, with a visual config editor, interface profiles, a built-in Micron page editor and a whole new utilities screen. Conversations have gained easy delivery mode switching, per-message signal stats and a few new conveniences. Micron now has collapsible sections and multi-row form inputs, and we even managed to fix a bug or two!

There's a lot of new stuff here, so if you find any bugs or weirdness, this thread is a good place to post them.

Cool changelog thanks !!! I will definitely try it and package it on Nix as soon as it is available on Pypi or Github.

It's up on pypi now as well :)

Thank you, it is now about to be merged in nixpkgs as well: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/559233

Hey Mark, I sent you a .patch addressing one security issue and a few other minor issues to your LXMF. I had meant to put them on my branch, but you merged the new features in before I could do it lol.

Haven't gotten it yet Zenith, can you try sending it again? Have my clients open now, so you can reach me directly without having to go PN.

It's out :) Thanks Zenith.

You probably want to bump that to 1.3.1 already @p1ld7a ;)

Ongoing @ https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/559424

Mark, what are your thoughts on adding discovered interfaces to the interfaces list?

Maybe they should have their own page though, because I made a small patch to load them into the existing page (replacing config interfaces) to try it out, but they cause the page to take ~700 ms to load for me with 388 interfaces
(~~300 ms without sorting by name, ~~700 ms with sorting by name)
I suppose (probably; I didn't check) most of the ~300 ms is spent reading the files of the discovered interfaces in InterfaceDiscovery.list_discovered_interfaces()

If you want, I could make a proper patch with a new page.
