Support will return +when the issues have been fixed. + +Bugfixes +~~~~~~~~ + +* Automatically restart respondd on failure (`#863 `_) + + There have been many reports of respondd processes disappearing; the exact cause is unclear, + but might be related to the batman-adv debugfs interface and/or out-of-memory conditions. + + A new respondd initscript uses procd to automatically restart respondd when it dies. + +* Make autoupdater timeouts more robust (`#987 `_) + + It was reported that wget processes sometimes hang indefinitely during the autoupdater manifest + download. The autoupdater has been improved to ensure that wget can always be interrupted after + a timeout. + + This issue, together with the recent addition of lock files to ensure that only one instance + of the autoupdater can run at a time, had caused the autoupdater to blocked completely + by hanging processes in some cases (till a node was rebooted). + +* Fix regulation domain switching in ath10k (`#1001 `_) + + Prevents use of too high transmission power in some cases. + +* Ensure that *prefix6* in site.conf is always a /64 prefix (`6b62e2f `_) + + Other prefix lengths were never supported and don't make sense in many places the prefix is used. Ensure + that such configurations will not pass validation. + +Known Issues +~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +* Default TX power on many Ubiquiti devices is too high, correct offsets are unknown (`#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 `_) + + 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 `_) + + The current API is inconsistent and will be replaced eventually. The old API will still be supported for a while.
