FOSS mobile OS FuriOS has been updated to version 13.06. It includes battery management improvements, modem improvements, kernel upgrades, and more. I was able to upgrade my FLX1 from 13.0 to 13.06 simply with a couple rounds of "sudo apt update" and then "sudo apt upgrade". I had no issues with my upgrade.

Two notable improvements:
- You now can pick the @beacondb URL automatically when choosing a submission URL
- There is an option (opt-in) that shows you the locations of queued submissions overlayed on the map. When you click on it, it will tell you how many cell towers and WiFi APs were found there, as well as the time the submission was made.
