· One min read

The core developers have tagged a new 2021.08.02.0 Hotspot firmware release which updates the currently blessed snapshot and handles IPv6 addresses in bogon check. This release also removes the default Helium production router from the static configuration to help meet the demands on utilization on the network

This is an optional but recommended release for Hotspot owners and manufacturers to continue syncing with newly blessed snapshots.
