**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/meshtastic/python/compare/2.3.4.post1...2.3.5

As with prior releases, if a standalone binary for your system is not available or doesn't work, try installing using `pip` instead; there are a few as-yet-unresolved issues with the standalone binaries.

This version corrects an issue with 2.3.4's version requirements for the `protobuf` library. It should only be needed relative to 2.3.4 for those with older installations that may have too old a version of that library.

Note: As in past releases, the windows binary has been removed due to an issue with being detected as malware. Additionally, the ubuntu binary is known to not work as desired on older versions that may not have the expected version of glibc. In both cases, try installing using pip instead until fixes can be made.
