Release Notes

2.26.1

Release date: August 18, 2026

RSK-14337 - Generation 4 compact instruments: Fixed being unable to connect to an instrument reporting a used=-nan power response
RSK-14284 - RSK dataset: Downloaded datasets are now fully written to the RSK file instead of leaving data behind in the write-ahead log

RSK-14408 - Generation 4 compact instruments: 2 Hz is no longer offered for the dissolved oxygen schedule on the RBRduet⁴ D.ODO
RSK-14387 - Generation 4 instruments: Fixed datasets failing to open after hidden channels were filtered out
RSK-14393 - Generation 4 instruments: Fixed the RBRduraturo⁴ showing no battery autonomy estimate
RSK-14395 - Generation 4 instruments: Fixed importing a binary zip dataset storing its data against a non-existent dataset
RSK-14411 - Generation 4 instruments: Fixed a downloaded dataset failing to open when hidden channels come before an integrated sensor's channels
RSK-14425 - Generation 3.5 instruments: Fixed being unable to connect to the RBRlegato⁴ without the factory or developer option enabled
RSK-14348 - Sensors: Fixed the calibration tab showing an out-of-date warning on the RBRcoda chl-a
RSK-14388 - RSK dataset: A failed dataset reprocess no longer retries forever, clearing the data tables and removing the open file's write-ahead log
RSK-14288 - Exports: Fixed raw text export of wave HEX files from legacy TWR loggers writing all-zero burst data
RSK-14281 - Certificate downloads are now disabled while the computer is connected to an instrument's Wi-Fi network without Internet access, instead of failing
