BSDiff and LZ4 compression can be used to reduce the size of firmware upgrades sent over-the-air. Smaller files
reduce the time required to deliver an update. Smaller FOTA sessions increase end-device battery life.
Multicast Session Scheduling
Multicast sessions are now scheduled using LowPowerTimeout instead of events. Session schedules are maintained
while sleeping.
