Good morning, it's October 7th, 2026.
Today's throughline is clearing stale friction — setup that argued with itself, messages that arrived late, and docs that promised support that's been gone since version 0.16.
Starting with camera onboarding, PR 24570 fixes a loop in the Reolink wizard for cameras above five megapixels. The wizard picked RTSP for every high-resolution Reolink, then warned RTSP isn't recommended and told users to enable HTTP and restart, which just repeated the result. Now it tries HTTP-FLV first and falls…
Second, reliability and maintenance. PR 24580 cuts MQTT latency on quiet connections. Publish only queued the message while the worker sat blocked on the broker socket for up to a second. A socket pair now wakes the worker the moment a publish is queued or stop is called. Paired with that, PR 24581 updates FastAPI…
Finally, docs accuracy. PR 24493 corrects the hardware page, which still claimed Maxwell-era graphics cards were supported, even though they stopped working after the runtime updates in 0.16. It now states Maxwell 5-x is unsupported and links a community workaround. There's also an open proposal, PR 24586, to…
