Bugfixes
~~~~~~~~
* Fix refcounting issue in batman-adv leading to hangs on interface restarts
(`#1258 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1258>`_)
This fix applied to both batman-adv compat 14 (legacy) and 15.
* Various batman-adv bugfixes have been backported
(`f5b3c0c3bc7e <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/commit/f5b3c0c3bc7e795b4b544cbaa49e9c6ca7581ce9>`_ and
`5947ba300e50 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/commit/5947ba300e50726a8af38fb115b834172780ab26>`_,
fixing
`#1321 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1321>`_,
`#1380 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1380>`_,
`#1382 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1382>`_,
`#1419 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1419>`_
and a number of other minor issues)
The listed bugs could lead to high rates of batman-adv management traffic
(causing considerable load), trigger warnings about packet checksum failues
in certain non-standard interface configurations, and possibly other issues.
Other changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Linux kernel has been updated to v4.4.129 (LEDE/`81573ea25924 <https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=81573ea259247f1c6c1a7a490de174d0a6c48a64>`_)
* The description of the "contact information" field in the configuration wizard
has been extended with regard to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
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>`_)
