Gluon 2018.2
|
||||
############
|
||||
|
||||
OpenWrt has been updated to the new major release 18.06.x. Depending on the
|
||||
target, this includes the Linux kernel 4.9.146 or 4.14.89.
|
||||
|
||||
The new OpenWrt release introduces a dependency on GNU time. On Debian/Ubuntu,
|
||||
this can be found in the package *time*. The shell builtin *time*, which is
|
||||
available by default, is not sufficient.
|
||||
|
||||
Added hardware support

New features
|
||||
************
|
||||
|
||||
Besides many smaller improvements and optimizations, we'd like to highlight the
|
||||
following larger new features:
|
||||
|
||||
OpenStreetMap-based map in config wizard
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
When the features *web-wizard* and *web-osm* are enabled, the configuration
|
||||
wizard will try to load an OSM-based map to allow the user to specify the node
|
||||
location. Loading the map requires a working internet connection, for example
|
||||
via WLAN (while connected to the Gluon node via Ethernet).
|
||||
|
||||
See the :ref:`config_mode <user-site-config_mode>` section for the *site.conf*
|
||||
configuration of this feature.
|
||||
|
||||
Experimental support for the Babel mesh routing protocol
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
As the layer-2 based routing protocol batman-adv does not scale well in large
|
||||
mesh networks, we are experimenting with alternatives. Babel is a promising
|
||||
layer-3 mesh routing protocol, which might become the recommended protocol in a
|
||||
future version of Gluon.
|
||||
|
||||
Use the feature flag *mesh-babel* for Babel. Note that our Babel support is
|
||||
still **experimental** and not ready for production. If you are interested in
|
||||
trying it out, please contact us on our mailing list or in our IRC channel.
|
||||
|
||||
gluon-ebtables-limit-arp enabled by default
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
The :doc:`../package/gluon-ebtables-limit-arp` package, introduced in Gluon
|
||||
2018.1, is now included by default. In case of issues, it can be removed by
|
||||
adding ``-gluon-ebtables-limit-arp`` to *GLUON_SITE_PACKAGES*.
|
||||
|
||||
Site changes
|
||||
************
|
||||
|
||||
No changes need to be made to *site.conf* or *site.mk* when upgrading from
|
||||
Gluon v2018.1.x.
|
||||
|
||||
Internals
|
||||
*********
|
||||
|
||||
* We have switched from LuCI's *nixio* library to the more actively developed
|
||||
*luaposix*
|
||||
|
||||
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 or high load due to memory pressure on
|
||||
weak hardware specially in larger meshes
|
||||
(`#1243 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1243>`_)
|
||||
|
||||
Optimizations in Gluon 2018.1 have significantly improved memory usage.
|
||||
There are still known bugs leading to unreasonably high load that we hope to
|
||||
solve in future releases.
