Mar 1, 2026March 2026: Delivered Memfault-enabled Bluetooth metrics support for BT_SMP=n configurations in the nrfconnect/sdk-nrf repository, refactored bond processing to maintain compatibility with non-BT_SMP configurations, and resolved critical build issues that could block metrics collection. These changes reduce build friction, improve observability, and extend telemetry coverage across configuration variants.

Jan 1, 2026January 2026 monthly summary for nrfconnect/sdk-nrf: Focused on stabilizing integration paths and maintaining governance for feature changes. Key deliverables include a Memfault integration build fix that resolves a static device_info_init error, enabling successful compilation of the memfault_integration module across the target platforms. This reduces integration risk and accelerates Memfault telemetry adoption. Additionally, a Bluetooth peripheral management feature was reverted (sample.bluetooth.peripheral_mds) due to quarantine/testing constraints to preserve plan and release timelines.
