Please refrain from using the `master` branch for anything else but development purposes!
Use the most recent release instead. You can list all releases by running `git tag`
and switch to one by running `git checkout v2017.1.6 && make update`.
and switch to one by running `git checkout v2017.1.7 && make update`.
If you're using the autoupdater, do not autoupdate nodes with anything but releases.
If you upgrade using random master commits the nodes *will break* eventually.

Gluon 2017.1.7
==============
Bugfixes
~~~~~~~~
* Fix boot failure on many Ubiquiti devices
(`#1370 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1370>`_)
A kernel update in Gluon 2017.1.6 led to boot failures on Ubiquiti Airmax M2/M5
(NanoStation, Bullet, etc.) if the device had been running AirOS 5.6 before
installing Gluon/OpenWrt. The XW hardware revision is unaffected.
While the root cause is a bug in Ubiquiti's bootloader, the issue is mitigated in
Gluon 2017.1.7.
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.
* Frequent reboots due to out-of-memory on weak hardware in larger meshes
(`#1243 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1243>`_)
