March 2026: google/android-cuttlefish — Delivered Light Server Optional Connection for Android Target Configurations. This feature makes the light server connection optional for targets without a lights HAL, reducing log noise and enabling more flexible configurations. The behavior is controlled via android-info.txt or cuttlefish-guest-config.txt pb files, and the webRTC process connects to the guest light server when available. The change improves support for auto targets and other configurations, lowers maintenance friction, and aligns with ongoing reliability improvements. Commit: 4b612db760e2da2e51ff5dafd1da39f49d8f090f; Bug: b/489145090.
