||||
New features
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
* Many UBNT Airmax XM model names are detected correctly now (e.g., the Loco
|
||||
is no longer displayed as Bullet) (`#632 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/632>`_)
|
||||
|
||||
Also, various new image aliases have been added for these devices.
|
||||
|
||||
* batman-adv: mesh_no_rebroadcast is now enabled for Mesh-on-WAN/LAN (`#652 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/652>`_)
|
||||
|
||||
* The new UCI option ``gluon-core.@wireless[0].preserve_channels`` can be used to
|
||||
prevent a changed WLAN channel from being reset on firmware upgrades (`#640 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/640>`_)
|
||||
|
||||
* PoE passthrough can now be configured from site.conf and the Advanced Settings
|
||||
on TP-Link CPE 210/510 and Ubiquiti NanoStations (`#328 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/328>`_)
|
||||
|
||||
* The config mode *altitude* field can now be hidden using the ``config_mode.geo_location.show_altitude``
|
||||
site.conf setting (`#693 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/693>`_)
|
||||
|
||||
* The contact information field in the config mode can be made obligatory using
|
||||
the ``config_mode.owner.obligatory`` site.conf option
|
||||
|
||||
* The *node name* setting in the config mode is no longer restricted to valid DNS
|
||||
hostnames, but allows any UTF-8 string (`#414 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/#414>`_)
|
||||
|
||||
* Besides the hostname, public key, site config and primary MAC address, the contact
|
||||
information can now be accessed from config mode site texts
|
||||
|
||||
* The functions ``escape`` and ``urlescape`` for HTML and URL escaping are now available from config mode
|
||||
site texts. They should always be used when including user-provided information like
|
||||
hostnames and contact information in HTML code or URLs.
|
||||
|
||||
* Dropbear is updated to a newer version, enabling new SSH crytpo methods and removing
|
||||
some old ones like DSA. This reduces the time needed for the first boot and makes
|
||||
SSH logins faster (`#223 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/223>`_)
|
||||
|
||||
* WLAN basic and supported rate sets have been made configurable, to allow disabling
|
||||
802.11b rates (`#810 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/810>`_)
|
||||
|
||||
* ath10k-based devices are now officially supported, it's possible to choose between
|
||||
IBSS- and 11s-capable firmwares in site.mk (`#864 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/864>`_)
|
||||
|
||||
* The ``prefix4`` and ``next_node.ip4`` site.conf options are now optional.
|
||||
|
||||
Bugfixes
|
||||
~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
* Extremely slow downloads could lead to multiple instances of the autoupdater
|
||||
running concurrently. Use lockfile to prevent this and add timeouts to download
|
||||
processes. (`#582 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/582>`_)
|
||||
|
||||
Other changes
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
* The "Expert Mode" has been renamed to "Advanced Settings"
|
||||
|
||||
Site changes
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
site.mk
|
||||
^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to support ath10k-based devices, you should set GLUON_ATH10K_MESH
|
||||
and GLUON_REGION as described in :ref:`getting-started-make-variables`.
|
||||
|
||||
i18n
|
||||
^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
As the hostname field may now contain an arbitrary UTF-8 string, escaping must
|
||||
be added.
|
||||
|
||||
Change
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
<%=hostname%>
|
||||
|
||||
to
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
<%=escape(hostname)%>
|
||||
|
||||
Inside of URLs, ``urlescape`` must be used instead of ``escape``.
|
||||
|
||||
Internals
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
* mac80211, hostapd and other related drivers and services have been backported from LEDE ``42f559e``
|
||||
|
||||
* Mesh interfaces are now configured in a protocol-independent way in UCI (`#870 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/870>`_)
|
||||
|
||||
The MAC address assignment of all mesh and WLAN interfaces has been modified to prepare for support of
|
||||
Ralink/Mediatek-based WLAN chips.
|
||||
|
||||
* Preparations for supporting the new batman-adv multicast optimizations have been made
|
||||
(`#674 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/674>`_, `#675 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/675>`_,
|
||||
`#679 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/679>`_)
|
||||
|
||||
* All Lua code is minified now to save some space
|
||||
|
||||
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.
