x86-legacy [#newtarget]_
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Devices older than the Pentium 4
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. [#newtarget]
|
||
|
|
This is a new target.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. [#outdoor]
|
||
|
|
This device is supposed to be set up outdoors and will therefore have its outdoor mode flag automatically enabled.

|

|
|
Major changes
|
||
|
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Device Classes
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Devices are now categorized into device classes. This device class can determine which features
|
||
|
|
as well as packages are installed on the device when building images.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Currently there are two classes used in Gluon, *tiny* and *standard*. All devices with less than 64M of RAM or
|
||
|
|
less than 7M of usable firmware space are assigned to the tiny class.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
WPA3 support for Private WLAN
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The private WLAN now supports WPA3-SAE key exchange as well as management frame protection (802.11w).
|
||
|
|
For this to work, the firmware needs to be built with the *wireless-encryption-wpa3* feature.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OWE on Client Network
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Gluon now allows to configure a VAP for the client network which supports opportunistic encryption on the
|
||
|
|
client network for devices which support the OWE security type (also known as Enhanced Open).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This encrypted VAP can be the only available access point or be configured in addition to an unencrypted VAP.
|
||
|
|
In the latter case, the transition mode can be enabled, which enables compatible devices to automatically
|
||
|
|
connect to the encrypted VAP while legacy devices continue to use the unencrypted connection.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are issues with some devices running Android 9 when connecting to a transition mode enabled network. See the site documentation for more information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SAE Encrypted Mesh Links
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mesh links can now be operated in an encrypted mode using SAE authentication. For this to work, a common shared secret
|
||
|
|
has to be distributed to all participating nodes using the site.conf.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Responsive status page
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The status page design is now responsive and reflows better on mobile devices.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Primary domain code
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The primary domain code is now visible on the node status page as well as in the respondd information
|
||
|
|
emitted by the node.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Logging
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The new *gluon-logging* package allows to configure a remote syslog server using the site.conf.
|
||
|
|
This package can only be included when *gluon-web-logging* is excluded.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Peer cleanup in fastd
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
fastd peers and groups are now removed on update in case they do not exist in the new site configuration.
|
||
|
|
To preserve a custom peer across updates, add the *preserve* key to the peer's UCI configuration and set it to ``1``.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Bugfixes
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The WAN MAC address now matches the one defined in OpenWrt if VXLAN is enabled for the selected domain.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- *gluon-reload* now reloads all relevant services.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Disabling outdoor mode and enabling meshing in the config mode can now be performed in a single step.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Fixed section visiblity with enabled outdoor mode in config mode.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Site changes
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
site.mk
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Starting with version 19.07 OpenWrt ships the urngd entropy daemon by default.
|
||
|
|
It replaces the haveged daemon, for which we removed the support in Gluon. Remove ``haveged`` from your package selection.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Internal
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Editorconfig
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Gluon now ships a *editorconfig* file to allow compatible editors to automatically apply key aspects of Gluon's code style.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Continuous Integration
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Jenkins
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The CI now has a test stage to verify Gluons runtime functionality.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* GitHub Actions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- GitHub actions is now enabled for the Gluon project, build-testing all available targets.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Build system
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Source code minification can now be skipped by enabling the GLUON_MINIFY flag.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Enabling the GLUON_AUTOREMOVE flag will remove package build directories after they are built.
|
||
|
|
This reduces space consumption at the expense of subsequent builds being slower.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Known issues
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Out of memory situations with high client count on ath9k.
|
||
|
|
(`#1768 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1768>`_)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The integration of the BATMAN_V routing algorithm is incomplete.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Mesh neighbors don't appear on the status page. (`#1726 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1726>`_)
|
||
|
|
Many tools have the BATMAN_IV metric hardcoded, these need to be updated to account for the new throughput
|
||
|
|
metric.
|
||
|
|
- Throughput values are not correctly acquired for different interface types.
|
||
|
|
(`#1728 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1728>`_)
|
||
|
|
This affects virtual interface types like bridges and VXLAN.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* 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.
