v4.2.0

Manual Notes

LoopFollow v4.2.0 was released on 25 October 2025

The main change is to streamline and enhance the Browser Build action (beyond what was supplied with v4.1.0):

• rearrange the order so the check whether to build every Sunday takes a few seconds
  • longer processes are skipped when build is skipped (either no updates are detected or it is not the second Sunday of the month)
• remove the concept of alive branches
• remove the requirement that your fork name match the upstream repository name
• enable any branch in your fork to be updated if the upstream repository has the same branch
  • if you choose to have a special branch in your fork set to default, the automatic check for updates works for that special branch

Other minor updates are housekeeping items:

• PR 467: BLE: Delay reconnect 2s after disconnect
• PR 471: Alarms: stamp 'last checked' on completion to avoid false positives
• PR 473: RemoteSettings: exclude Loop APNS from Team ID mismatch check
