April 2026: Lightning Terminal delivered a focused feature enhancement to stabilize the LNC authentication flow for mailbox links by re-establishing session initialization after a library upgrade. This improves reliability and user experience for mailbox-based access, particularly during upgrade cycles, and strengthens session consistency across library changes. Release notes were added to document the change for users and developers. No major bugs fixed this month within the provided scope; work prioritized upgrade-path resilience and documentation.

March 2026 focused on stabilizing the mailbox transport path in lightning-terminal by addressing a TLS ALPN regression and aligning dependencies. The work ensures reliable LNC session setup with endpoints that do not negotiate ALPN, and strengthens the product against ALPN-related handshake regressions.
