 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 2016.1.6
+==============
+
+Bugfixes
+~~~~~~~~
+
+* build: fix nodejs host build on Debian Wheezy (`#776 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/776>`_)
+* build: fix parallel builds with Make 4.2+
+
+  Trying to use ``-j N`` with Make 4.2 would spawn an unlimited number of processes,
+  eventually leading to memory exhaustion.
+
+* build: fix occasional build failure in libpcap package
+* build: don't require hexdump for x86 builds (`#811 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/811>`_)
+
+  Trying to build Gluon for x86 on systems without hexdump would silently generate
+  broken images.
+
+* Add support for DNS servers given by their link-local IPv6 address in Router Advertisements
+  (`#854 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/854>`_)
+
+* ar71xx-generic: correctly setup LNA GPIOs on CPE210/510 (`#796 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/796>`_)
+
+  Improves the reception by about 20dB.
+
+* ar71xx-generic: switch default WAN/LAN assignment on Ubiquiti UAP Pro
+  (`#764 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/764>`_)
+
+  Switch to the usual "PoE is WAN/setup mode, secondary is LAN" scheme. This only affects
+  new installations; the assignment won't be changed on updates unless the configuration is
+  reset.
+
+* ar71xx-generic: fix ath10k memory leak (`#690 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/690>`_)
+* ar71xx-generic: add support for new TP-Link region codes
+  (`#860 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/860>`_)
+
+  TP-Link has started providing US- and EU-specific firmwares for the Archer C7 v2. To generate
+  Gluon images installable from these new firmwares, the ``GLUON_REGION`` variable must be set
+  to ``eu`` or ``us`` in ``site.mk`` or on the ``make`` command line (the images will still be
+  installable from all old firmwares without region codes).
+
+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.
+
+* 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.
