+Kernel module opkg repository
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+We've not been able to keep ABI compatiblity with the kernel of the official OpenWrt images.
+Therefore, Gluon now generates a opkg repository with modules itself.
+
+The repository can be found at `output/modules/` by default, the image output directory has
+been moved from `images/` to `output/images/`. See the updated :doc:`../user/getting_started` guide
+for information on the handling of the signing keys for this repository.
+
+The `opkg_repo` site.conf option has been replaced to allow specifying this and other additional repositories.
+
+New status page
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The new status page provides a visually pleasing experience, and displays all important information
+on a node in a clear manner. It also contains a real-time signal strength graph for all neighbouring
+nodes to aid with the alignment of antennas.
+
+802.11s mesh support
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Gluon now supports using 802.11s for its mesh links instead of IBSS (Adhoc). This will allow supporting
+WLAN hardware which can't to AP and IBSS mode simultaneously in the future (like Ralink/Mediatek).
+
+Note that batman-adv is still used on top of 802.11s (and 802.11s forwarding is disabled), the mesh routing protocol
+provided by 802.11s is not used.
+
+Multicast filter extension
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The `gluon-ebtables-filter-multicast` package has been extended to filter out multicast
+ICMP and ICMPv6 Echo Requests (ping) and Node Information Queries (RFC4620). This prevents
+pings to multicast addresses like ff02::1 to cause traffic peaks
+(as all nodes and clients would answer such a ping).
+
+French translation
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+A French translation for the Config Mode/Expert Mode has been added.
 
 Bugfixes
 ~~~~~~~~
 
+* Update kernel code for the QCA953x
+
+  Might improve statility of the TP-Link TL-WR841N/ND v9.
+* Fix model detection on some Netgear WNDR3700v2
+
+  The broken devices will identify as "NETGEAR ".
+  This also breaks the autoupdater, making a manual upgrade necessary.
+* Ensure that `odhcp6c` doesn't spawn multiple instances of ``dhcpv6.script``
+* Fix support for Buffalo WZR-600DHP
+
+  A flashable factory image is generated now. The sysupgrade image is still shared
+  with the WZR-HP-AG300H.

 Internals
 ~~~~~~~~~
 
+* OpenWrt has been updated to Chaos Calmer
+* mac80211 has been backported from OpenWrt trunk r47249 (wireless-testing 2015-07-21)
+
+  This allows us to support the TL-WR940N v3/TL-WR941ND v6, which uses a TP9343 (QCA956x) SoC.
+* Several packages have been moved from the Gluon repo to the packages repo, removing references to Gluon:
+
+  - gluon-cron -> micrond (the crontabs are now read from ``/usr/lib/micron.d`` instead of ``/lib/gluon/cron``)
+  - gluon-radvd -> uradvd
+  - gluon-simple-tc -> simple-tc (the config file has been renamed as well)
+* Some of the Gluon-specific i18n support code in the build system has been removed, as LuCI now provides
+  similar facilities
+* The C-based `luci-lib-jsonc` library is now used for JSON encoding/decoding instead of the pure Lua `luci-lib-json`
 
 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 Expert Mode is recommended.
+* batman-adv causes stability issues for both alfred and respondd/announced (`#177 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/177>`_)
+* 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/announced API (`#522 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/522>`_)
+
+  The current API is inconsistent and will be replaced in the next release. The old API will still be supported for a while.
