v24.12.1: Merge pull request #23 from aditaa/feature/strip-features

Highlights

• Strip unused blocks (Aircopy, FM broadcast, NOAA weather, general alarm, 1750 Hz tone) from the default loaner build to keep the UI focused and the binary small.
• Wire clang-format, cppcheck, and firmware size guards into CI so regressions fail fast.

Validation

• VERSION_SUFFIX=LNR24B1 make TARGET=loaner-firmware
• arm-none-eabi-size loaner-firmware # 51,344 bytes text
• stat --format='%s' loaner-firmware.bin # 51,356 bytes

Loaner Firmware v24.12 (LNR24B1)

Highlights

• Align the firmware banner, UART greeting, and packed metadata on the calendar-style OEFW-LNR24B1 suffix so CHIRP builds with PR #1414 accept uploads.
• Document the new VERSION_SUFFIX workflow to keep releases consistent with the packed image metadata.

Validation

• VERSION_SUFFIX=LNR24B1 make TARGET=loaner-firmware
• pytest -q

v24.11

Loaner firmware 24.11

v24.10-alpha4 (LNR24A4)

Loaner Firmware Alpha 4 – LNR24A4

• Force MR channels to render names (or the CH-### fallback) on the main screen so end users no longer see raw transmit frequencies.
• Default new boots to name display mode (MDF_NAME) regardless of prior EEPROM values, keeping radios aligned with the locked channel-only experience.

v24.10-alpha3 (LNR24A3)

Loaner Firmware Alpha 3 – LNR24A3

• Disable the physical Menu key so accidental presses no longer expose configuration menus.
• Clean build scripts to drop stale loaner-firmware*.bin artifacts before each Docker build, ensuring releases only contain fresh images.

Tag this build as v24.10-alpha3 and publish the two artifacts below.
