Meshtastic Firmware 2.7.17.83c6161 Alpha (Revoked)

Caution

This release has been revoked due to reports of pairing issues with ESP32-S3 devices. See #9049. We are working to investigate possible fixes for this issue, believed to be caused by the upgrade to NimBLE 2.X. If you are on NRF52 architecture devices or do not use bluetooth, you can continue using this firmware version without being affected.

Warning

If you experience immediate bluetooth pairing failures after updating, this likely indicates that you need to forget the bluetooth pairing and/or perform a full erase and flash.
