Missing exposure warnings are caused by a change in the Exposure Notification Bluetooth protocol specification that was not yet published by Google or Apple.

Only some devices and OS versions are sending encrypted metadata that cannot be correctly interpreted by older versions of microG. microG can still use data recorded with older versions, but warnings caused by such devices will only be displayed with 0.2.14 or later.

#microG Services Core v0.2.14.204115 released.
