Key Updates & Improvements
Memory-Safe Rust DNS Parser: Integrates the Rust-based hickory-proto DNS parser into the no_std modem environment, eliminating memory-safety vulnerabilities (such as buffer overflow and pointer bugs) when parsing external network data.
Linker Optimization & Power Drain Fix: Resolves a previous build-linker bug where replaced standard string functions caused elevated idle battery drain and thermal throttling during sustained data transfers.
5G Standalone (5G SA) Stability: Enhances handover stability across 5G SA bands and reduces carrier aggregation dropouts in low-signal areas.
Seamless Network Handoff: Decreases reconnection latency and packet loss when transitioning between Wi-Fi 6E/7 networks and 5G cellular bands.
Initialization Fixes: Contains stability patches for dual-SIM initialization and boot-time modem handshakes under Android 17.
