While version 0.07 that was recently release into the wild contained a large amount of wonderful bug fixes, we know there was little in the way of new features to excite and inspire. But we have some exciting stuff coming up! We will be letting you know in advance what you can look forward to in the next release, so here is a foreshadowing of release 0.08.
It is an unofficial feature in the 0.07 release that you can use WebSMS and SMSDroid to send and receive mesh-based SMS (MeshMS). Recent versions of those applications will automatically detect Serval MeshMS if it is installed.
Version 0.08 (due in February 2012) will also allow mesh file transfer via Serval Rhizome.
Version 0.08 will also let you send and receive MeshMS even when there is not a connection possible via the mesh between the endpoints. This works using a store-and-forward mechanism.
