 # Timeline (Versions):
-
+- 2025-10-15 APRS Bridge for TNC added.
+- 2025-10-13 Rx and Tx Frequencies are now with fully configurable.
+- 2025-10-13 Startup Delay to allow the Router/Modem to start WiFiAP before connecting.
+- 2025-10-12 Choose to send Beacon on Rx or Tx frequency.
 - 2025-10-11 User defined NTP server and send beacon over MQTT added.
-- 2025-10-10 Changed Wiki into a pdf manual.
+- 2025-10-10 Converted the Wiki into a PDF manual.
 - 2025-09-26 Heltec Wireless Bridge support added.
 - 2025-09-09 MQTT added (pub+sub), Status defined by Op now and many fixes more.
 - 2025-06-20 Digipeaters now with updated EcoMode (Board Sleeps until packet Rx reducing current consumption to almost 10% at idle).
