Bugfixes
~~~~~~~~
* Improve sysupgrade error handling (`#1160 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1160> `_ )
If for some reason processes don't react to SIGKILL (usually because of a kernel bug),
a node could hang forever in sysupgrade, requiring a power cycle. This has been
fixed, triggering a reboot instead.

* Backport fixes to support building with Perl 5.26 or newer (`76753ed <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/commit/76753ede0da78e24208f10675fa288247deec961> `_ )

Known Issues
~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Default TX power on many Ubiquiti devices is too high, correct offsets are unknown (`#94 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/94> `_ )
Reducing the TX power in the Advanced Settings is recommended.
* The MAC address of the WAN interface is modified even when Mesh-on-WAN is disabled (`#496 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/496> `_ )
This may lead to issues in environments where a fixed MAC address is expected (like VMware when promicious mode is disallowed).
* Inconsistent respondd API (`#522 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/522> `_ )
The current API is inconsistent and will be replaced eventually. The old API will still be supported for a while.
